Found GC4PYCF Thames Path - Floodproof
This checkin to GC4PYCF Thames Path - Floodproof reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Excellent cache, which I was pleased to observe has the largest conceivable container possible for its hiding place: nice one! I love a good treetop cache!
Once I'd free the right tree, getting up was relatively easy: … -
Found GC8NW44 Thames Path - 91-DIVOC
This checkin to GC8NW44 Thames Path - 91-DIVOC reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Not convinced they my route through the 2m nettles to reach the host was optimal, but I made it through to this decent sized cache relatively unscathed. TFTC!

Found GC4QAER Howard
This checkin to GC4QAER Howard reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found without difficulty but at W 001°14'16.7886", N 51°40'12.5960": the cache description provides a good clue though so it was easy to get back on track. TFTC

Wrote note for GC4QAED Leonard
This checkin to GC4QAED Leonard reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Skipped this one as I'm still playing catchup to the rest of my group and wasn't interested in a long search.

Found GC4QAE6 Bernadette
This checkin to GC4QAE6 Bernadette reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After a brief overshoot - too excited to finally be catching up to Ruth and the rest of my squad! - doubled back to find this easy location. Cache was lying on the floor which I assume isn't the …

Found GC4QADE Penny - bonkers for conkers
This checkin to GC4QADE Penny - bonkers for conkers reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No difficulty with this QEF; title clue plus a little botany had me stop in exactly the right place. And the tall nettles weren't any risk to me with long trousers! TFTC.

Did not find GC4QADB Sheldon
This checkin to GC4QADB Sheldon reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No luck here. Couldn't spare more than a little while to hunt without Ruth and the rest of the Thames Path Source-to-Mouth party getting too far ahead but spent that time getting thoroughly nettled. They're fierce around here! Maybe …

Found GC2W97E Messing about by the river
This checkin to GC2W97E Messing about by the river reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after a brief search while accompanying my partner Ruth on the latest leg of her effort to (by instalments) walk the entire length of the Thames from its source to its mouth. Initially looked …

Found GC4QADR Raj
This checkin to GC4QADR Raj reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Another QEF down this stretch of the Thames Path. Having to jog to catch up with my party now! Cache container camouflage slightly damaged but still plenty good for concealment so long as it's stored the right way up! …

OMG VaultPress Jetpack Backup to the rescue.
One of the best Internet people drew me a picture and when I replied to it, it got scrambled. 😱
But even though I had to modify core WordPress columns to store drawings, the backup respected that and I was able to restore it.
I used to pay for VaultPress. Nowadays I get it for free as one of the many awesome perks of my job. But I'd probably still pay for it because it's a lifesaver.
