    Found GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley

    This checkin to GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The poor little geopup's only got tiny legs, and the 8km we've walked so-far has got her pretty tired-out, so this'll be the last cache of the series before we go and find ourselves some โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54E1W WAG 15 - Action! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Sometimes the geo-sense "just works". This was one of those moments. I was approaching the area and checking the distance. Then I walked straight to a likely location. Then I picked up the cache. Done and โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC72TZ5 WAG 14 - Wander through Wroxhills reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Turning South and crossing our own path, the sun came out at last and we were bathed in glorious warm light. Between that, and the familiarity of the trail we passed, the geopup and โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54DR7 WAG 9 - Sausages & Bacon! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Worra lorra porkers! The geopup is a huge fan of sausages but I don't think she understood that the cornucopia she was looking at across the field was the same thing, just a few โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54DTF WAG 10 - Track-able reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup and I tried a couple of likely hiding places before we found this one. A nice-sized container and well-suited to its hiding place, here, TFTC!

    This checkin to OK00F7 Pig City Vista reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Came by this location while doing the nearby WAG series. Was delighted to see that an OpenCache was on the route too so the geopup and I dedicated the time to a decent search. We think we โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54DW0 WAG 11 - Panorama reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Between nearby GC7QC7R, which acts as a spur to this series, and OK00F7, which sits on (and predates) this series, I was feeling confident of a find here... but after an extended search the geopup and โ€ฆ

    Found GC7QC7R Lothal

    This checkin to GC7QC7R Lothal reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. As a quick diversion from the nearby WAG series, the geopup and I meandered out this way to find this cache. Once I was in the vicinity of the cache something stood out to me as unusual, so we โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC610PB WAG 12 - Wroxhills Wood reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick and easy find: we walked straight to where the coordinates said and there it was. My phone, having been rebooted during the last leg, was now behaving much better at narrowing down a โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54DXQ WAG 13 - Oh deer! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Took several attempts to find the correct hiding place and the poor geopup - who didn't like the tight-knit undergrowth here except when it suited her (when she wanted to chase after a pheasant!) - โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC78WN6 WAG 8 - Battle Farm reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. This was the moment when I found myself wishing that my dedicated GPSr unit was with me and working, as my phone's GPS fix started jumping all over the place. The geopup and I made โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54DF1 WAG 7 - Fuming! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup made herself useful for this cache, running straight to the cache location.

    This checkin to GC54DEF WAG 6 - Water Break reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

    This checkin to GC9BYME WAG 5a reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup struggles to understand why I sometimes insist on stopping our walks to go and poke around in the nearby trees, and this time was no exception. The hint could refer to one of several hiding places, โ€ฆ
