Couldn't find OK00F7 Pig City Vista
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 …

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 …

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 …

Found GC610PB WAG 12 - Wroxhills Wood
This checkin to GC610PB WAG 12 - Wroxhills Wood reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found GC54DXQ WAG 13 - Oh deer!
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!) - …

Couldn't find GC78WN6 WAG 8 - Battle Farm
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 …

Found GC54DF1 WAG 7 - Fuming!
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. (I suspect that some prior canine visitor may have left their mark somewhere very near to the cache, and she was more …

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

Found GC9BYME WAG 5a
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, …

Found GC8C4TE WAG 5 - Battle
This checkin to GC8C4TE WAG 5 - Battle reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Another excellent bit of camoflage here, on what has so-far appeared to be a well-loved but well-maintained series. The geopup and I went back and forth a few times before we found the correct host, but …

Found GC54DD8 WAG 4 - Chiltern Way Extension
This checkin to GC54DD8 WAG 4 - Chiltern Way Extension reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Unfortunately, my dedicated GPSr had been left turned-on after my last geocaching/geohashing/whatever expedition, and I hadn't realised until I was just setting off this morning. I tried to charge it in the car but …

This checkin to GC54DB8 WAG 3 - Cleeve Corner reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The time before last that I was in Goring - the first of my now-three visits - was for a birthday/garden party on 24 June 2018. My eldest - then only four years old - …

Found GC54DAM WAG 2 - Cow Hill
This checkin to GC54DAM WAG 2 - Cow Hill reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The last time I was in Goring was on 9 June 2022, when I cycled here via Eynsham, Abingdon, and Didcot. I enjoyed a meal at at Whale Inn in Streatley, then meandered down into …

Found GC54D9K WAG 1 - See the light
This checkin to GC54D9K WAG 1 - See the light reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Ignoring times that I've passed-through, I've only ever visited Goring twice before. It's time to rectify that! This morning, the dog and I drove down from Stanton Harcourt (near Witney), parked up, and begun …
