A quick and easy find on my way back to the city centre after a lunch date at the Isis Farmhouse to the South. Great container that fits wonderfully in its hiding space! TFTC.

Stemonitis doesn’t seem to have logged in for over three years, and it’s needed maintenance for its super-soggy log for about as long). I’ve sent a message to them offering to adopt this cache (it’s in a convenient place for me to maintain), but if I don’t get a response I’ll speak to an admin and see if they can transfer it to me (or else archive it as abandoned and I’ll lay an identical replacement in its place).
Edit: Stemonitis approves in principle. Just waiting for the adoption to go through.

I’m confused, @sainsburys.
What is the difference between these two products? What differentiates a “chunk” from a “piece” of pineapple? #pineapple #confused

Having difficulty getting to the website? Try using https://chilternhundred.drsolly.com/ and https://chilternhundred.drsolly.com/bonus.cgi rather than the web addresses listed in the description (which include a “www.”).
The SSL certificate presented by the web server covers “*.drsolly.com” which modern browsers to not interpret as including “www.*.drsolly.com”, so you may get “Secure connection failed” errors otherwise. (CO might like to update the links or else expand the certificate!)

I can’t log a “find” here because I set up the cache, but I wanted to show willing! So here I am, standing in the beginnings of what looks to be a serious rainstorm, capturing a screenshot with my phone. Gulp; should’a brought my coat!

Another quick find, this time on my way back. Log very tight in container: difficult to remove! TFTC!

Found with fleeblewidget on a lunch date after a bit of a hunt. Maybe the GPS gods weren’t smiling on me, but the given coordinates looked to me to be on entirely the wrong side of the path: by my reckoning, the container is at N 51° 42.699′, W 001° 13.347′. SL, TFTC.

Quick stop on a diversion from my cycle ride from the city centre to Sandford. Funny: years of caching and I hadn’t seen a container like this until I see two of them in one week. TFTC.
Digest for May 2018
Summary
This month I completed my research into Oxford’s (former) zoo and I hid a series of geocaches to commemorate it and the wolves that escaped from it once, in the 1930s. I also toured a series of geocaches near Eynsham (listed below) while collecting ‘caching supplies from the military surplus store there.
I also shared (among other things) the story of the creation of a GIF file containing text showing the hex digest of its own MD5 hash, something which might initially appear to be impossible.

Solving the mystery to determine the cache location was the easy (and fun) bit: geocheck confirmed first time! But after half an hour of digging through damp vegetation (and the ocassional nettle) this morning, I had to admit defeat. :-(
