    The Road (Segment) Less Travelled

    I live near two junctions at which I can join the A40 trunk road. When I drive East, I use the Easternmost; when I drive West, I use the Westernmost; but I almost never drive the stretch of A40 between them!
    It's inevitable I suppose that there should exist a "road (segment) less-travelled" right on my doorstep, but it still feels strange. Maybe I'm missing out on something great!

  • Found GC2BHX9 C-130J Hercules

    This checkin to GC2BHX9 C-130J Hercules reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found by the geohound and I after a brief battle with the first stinging nettles of the season. Owie!

  • Did not find GC6Q3A1 Cur.Bri.Lew 11

    This checkin to GC6Q3A1 Cur.Bri.Lew 11 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The pup and I unearthed a few likely hiding places without success here. Not sure what we've missed: feels like we lifted every hint item in the vicinity!

    Found GC6Q39R Cur.Bri.Lew 10

    This checkin to GC6Q39R Cur.Bri.Lew 10 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF for the geopup and I on this strangely springlike morning. Cache container is damaged almost beyond recognition, as others have observed, and is desperately in need of replacement. TFTC.
