  • Found GCB9ZHJ Besselsleigh Wood - The Old Coppiced Tree

    This checkin to GCB9ZHJ Besselsleigh Wood - The Old Coppiced Tree reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found in the second place we looked. The geohound and I definitely approached this one from the wrong direction and the poor pupper's little legs weren't well-equipped for the brambly terrain: she had …

    This checkin to GCB9ZHR Besselsleigh Wood - The Fallen Stump reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. (Excellent) container was undisguised and visible from the path, and with both latches unfastened! But I still had something to open, thanks to the fun (but not too challenging) inner puzzle box. Sealed everything …

    This checkin to GCB9ZJK Besselsleigh Wood - A Little Birdie Told Me reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Passed the GZ twice without being able to perform a proper search owing to endless streams of muggles on one or the other side of the fence. One for another day perhaps.

    This checkin to GC27K1V Church Micro 1146...Bessels Leigh reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. While doing the series in the woods nearby the geohound and I figured we'd look for this cache, too. It might still be there, but if so it's deeper into the brambles than I was willing …

    Found GCB9ZJG Besselsleigh Wood - The Conifer

    This checkin to GCB9ZJG Besselsleigh Wood - The Conifer reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy enough to sight this one despite its disguise, but a bit of a challenge to retreive and return it! Coming back out to the footpath I spotted one of the biggest wild mushrooms I've …

  • Found GCB9ZJ0 Besselsleigh Wood - The Lightning Strike

    This checkin to GCB9ZJ0 Besselsleigh Wood - The Lightning Strike reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find of this brilliant container, not least because it was a little exposed: almost completely without camouflage and with its lid unfastened. Contents seem fine though, and I took care to re-hide …

  • Man Who Identifies as a β€˜Humanist’ Gets Religious Exemption From Using AI at Work

    If your religious beliefs are incompatible with your use of a particular tool that isn't essential for a particular kind of work, then you should absolutely be able to be exempted from using those tools. At least, that's the legal verdict in this case!

  • Installing Websites Must Be Easy

    Some excellent recommendations from the W3C's TAG on installability of web applications to the "desktop", whether or not they have defined manifests/are PWAs. I really hope to see the major OS and browser manufacturers take these recommendations on board!
