  • Found GCBMAK5 #14 Northmoor Loop

    This checkin to GCBMAK5 #14 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Spent a while hunting in entirely the wrong place, got the hint, then searched in a different wrong place before remembering that the hint object is a thing that comes in two halves. Where's the other half? โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GCBMAJV #13 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Another QEF for the doggo and I. I wonder if the Rose is open yet? The dog might be happy quenching her thirst from the river but I'm not!

    Found GCBMAHA #12 Northmoor Loop

    This checkin to GCBMAHA #12 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Convenient access to the water here made this an ideal spot for a hot doggo to cool her paws and have a drink while I found the cache.

    This checkin to GCBMAH6 #11 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Finding the hiding place was easy, but the cache was a bit deeper than I expected. What a delightfully bright morning it's turning out to be! TFTC.

    Found GCBMAH2 #10 Northmoor Loop

    This checkin to GCBMAH2 #10 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup was overheating a little so we took a break in the shade of the nearby pillbox before finding this cache.

    This checkin to GCBMAGY #09 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A bit of a geotrail already starting to develop towards this hiding spot, I see. An easy find, TFTC!

    This checkin to GCBMAGR #08 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coming directly from the direction of #7, this cache container was visible from 30 metres out! The geopup busied herself with rolling in the grass while I did the necessary paperwork.

    This checkin to GCBMAGF #07 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Wasn't I just here? Yup! This is the only one of the series I'd already found, missing the FTF by only about half an hour the other week. It's still here and looking good!

    This checkin to GCBMAG7 #06 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Very easy find while the geopup dawdled behind me, clearly having found something more-interesting for her to smell. TFTC!

    This checkin to GCBMAAD #04 Northmoor Loop - Little Bridges # 3326 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Briefly overshot this one in our excitement to get out of the field with the sheep (and so allow the geohound off her lead) and rushed to the little bridge. Doubled back โ€ฆ

  • ElenaJS (Progressive Web Components)

    Ariel Salminen shared a release candidate for her new microframework Elena last week, and I love it! It's entirely geared towards Progressive Web Components and seems to provide all the scaffolding you'd need with none of the cruft. Delightful!
