Found GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley
This checkin to GC54E29 WAG 16 - Elvendon Valley reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The poor little geopup's only got tiny legs, and the 8km we've walked so-far has got her pretty tired-out, so this'll be the last cache of the series before we go and find ourselves some …

Found GC54E1W WAG 15 - Action!
This checkin to GC54E1W WAG 15 - Action! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Sometimes the geo-sense "just works". This was one of those moments.

This checkin to GC54DR7 WAG 9 - Sausages & Bacon! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Worra lorra porkers! The geopup is a huge fan of sausages but I don't think she understood that the cornucopia she was looking at across the field was the same thing, just a few …

This checkin to GC54DTF WAG 10 - Track-able reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup and I tried a couple of likely hiding places before we found this one. A nice-sized container and well-suited to its hiding place, here, TFTC!

Couldn't find OK00F7 Pig City Vista
This checkin to OK00F7 Pig City Vista reflects an opencache.uk log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Came by this location while doing the nearby WAG series. Was delighted to see that an OpenCache was on the route too so the geopup and I dedicated the time to a decent search. We think we …

Couldn't find GC54DW0 WAG 11 - Panorama
This checkin to GC54DW0 WAG 11 - Panorama reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Between nearby GC7QC7R, which acts as a spur to this series, and OK00F7, which sits on (and predates) this series, I was feeling confident of a find here... but after an extended search the geopup and …

Found GC7QC7R Lothal
This checkin to GC7QC7R Lothal reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. As a quick diversion from the nearby WAG series, the geopup and I meandered out this way to find this cache. Once I was in the vicinity of the cache something stood out to me as unusual, so we …

Found GC610PB WAG 12 - Wroxhills Wood
This checkin to GC610PB WAG 12 - Wroxhills Wood reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick and easy find: we walked straight to where the coordinates said and there it was. My phone, having been rebooted during the last leg, was now behaving much better at narrowing down a …
