Day: 12 May 2025

  • Dan shrugs for the camera as he sits at a pub table with a variety of people; one woman, sat to his left, throws a V-sign with her fingers.

    Queer Coded ๐ŸŒˆ

    Paraphrased from a conversation in a Manchester pub last night -

    Them: Your [dyed blue] hair is queer-coded, right? Like... you're telegraphing you're queer?
    Me: I mean... I'm also wearing a pride rainbow t-shirt and my watch strap is a 'bi pride' flag. I don't feel like I'm being subtle.
    Them: Nah. The hair's the giveaway.

    Found OK0063 Stella's on a mission

    A quick diversion from my walk back to to train station to snap a selfie at the GZ while waving a rainbow handkerchief. TFTC!

  • Did not find GCAF1WK KT 132 - Just a number 1

    My sneaky hunt was interrupted when the fire alarm went off in a nearby building and its occupants spilled out into the street! Maybe another time.

    Found GC2MTTV Power to the People

    This checkin to GC2MTTV Power to the People reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Not too busy here this morning so I was able to mount a proper search for the cache. No sign of the container, so providing a photo log in accordance with CO's instructions. TFTC.

    Found GC84F1A Manchester Central Library

    What a truly spectacular cache. FP awarded, without hesitation. I've seen a similar kind in a library before but never with such depth, such a story, so voluminous a container, nor - let's be honest - so beautiful a building!

    Found GC66Z2H Yesterday, When I Was Mad

    With an hour and a bit before my train departs I figured I'd hit up a few caches before leaving Manchester this morning. This was the first.
