Day: 2 April 2026

  • On the other side of a deep rural railway cutting, beyond a tall brick bridge, a large house stands above a vineyard.

    Did not find GCARTHJ Knock Knock, Who's There!

    Ran out of time and had to give up.. Nice view of our accommodation for this week from this hill, though!

  • Predictions in a Hat

    Two decades ago this month my friend Matt posted five predictions about the future of the world. I've revisited these predictions twice since: ten years later and twenty years later, and "scored" his predictions both times.

    I love that the Web's memory (and the persistence of URLs) makes this kind of long-term conversation possible.

  • A boy hangs from a rope swing over a grassy hillside.

    Found GCARTHE Rope Swing

    Found without difficulty while the geokid amused himself on the swing. Shame about the litter near the GZ, may be a CITO opportunity up here! Loving the views: think I can see our accommodation from here! TFTC and for showing us this rope swing!

  • Found GCARTHN The Bird in Hand

    Not a fan of this kind of container, but I must admit that I enjoy a decent-sized cache! TFTC.

  • A boy runs ahead into a grassy meadow.

    Found GCARTHR Coton Hill Community Orchard

    We enjoyed sitting on the nearby bench while we cracked open this decent sized cache (and emptied out the accumulated water!). Log still in good condition, though. TFTC!

  • Dan and a boy holding cling-wrapped sandwiches in a forest.

    Found GCARTHZ Coton Grange

    Quick find with the boy (thanks to the hint!) as we stopped for a sandwich break. TFTC!

  • Found GCARTJ3 Gone Fishing

    Incredibly easy find for the younger geokid and I: we could see the cache before we even reached the GZ. TFTC!

  • A small wood fire burns inside an outdoor brick pizza oven.

    Wood-Fired

    This year's 3Camp venue had a wood-fired pizza oven, so I signed-up for a shift of cooking for my fellow volunteers and thoroughly enjoyed making and baking a monumental amount of dough.
