    This checkin to GC33BBW WWW#6 โ€“ www.geochecker.com reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

    This checkin to GC33BAJ WWW#4 โ€“ earthcache.org reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Geopup and I found quite easily while out on a walk. The excitable doggo isn't so keen on stopping and searching for caches when there are so many new and exciting smells just over her visual horizon, โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC9Z37K Friar's Farm - Far-Flung Fence reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found left out in clear with lid open but otherwise not vandalised.

    This checkin to GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Routine maintenance visit. Looks like a "Reggie" comes by this way with his dogs and signs the logbook, sometimes! :-) Not such a forgotten footbridge after all?

The geopup and I took a slightly inelegant route down to the valley bottom after she insisted we try a steep route atop a carpet of dry, dusty leaves. Made it down intact, though, and found โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC8V4T3 Freeland to Hanborough 2 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A pair of walkers who'd stopped at the GZ for a snack made searching difficult, plus the geodog isn't very good at stealth, so we had to give up on our search for this one. Maybe โ€ฆ
