Day: 8 July 2025

This checkin to GCA6CCW Purple door reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

It’s possible that cycling this path wasn’t the wisest idea, I realised, as I dodged brambles on both sides. So focused was I on riding safely that I forgot which GPSr I’d brought with me and listening for the beep it gives when I get close to my target… only realised 120m after the fact that I was using the GPSr that doesn’t give an audible beep and I’d overshot!

Doubled back and gave an extended hunt for the cache before finding it in pieces. Looks like it’s been wilfully vandalised (see photo). Returned the pieces to approximately where I figure they’re meant to live.

Love the idea, hope it can be fully repaired soon!

This checkin to GCADCWF Treasure island reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After an appointment in Witney I opted to divert my cycle home to find this and the other cache on the same path. After cycling down to the GZ (past the noisiest sheep I’ve ever heard!) I was pleased to discover that the recent weather has left the island very dry, and I’d be in no risk of damp feet.

Brambles were a minor threat, but soon the cache was in hand. SL. Outer container has a damaged hinge; just needs a few screws to repair, and it’s not urgent. TFTC!
