Probably my favourite of Oxford’s museums, and well worth a flyby on my way home from work today to double-check that the marks outside really were what I thought. TFTC.

Looking around I could see hundreds of good hiding places, but my intuition guided me well and I found my way right to the cache. Looking across the canal and the fields beyond, I can just about make out the Sainsburys where I do my weekly shopping! TFTC.

Great cache, great hiding place. My coordinates were about 15m off but the terrain rating (and the hint) set me straight. Wasn’t as hard as I’d expected (hoped?), but still a nice change from the usual terrain challenge of the caches I attempt! Lovely spot. TFTC!

Hurrah! Second time lucky on this one, for me: the one on the Route Canal series that I most-wanted to find after my previous ill-fated run. TFTC.

Again, thanks for the maintenance. It was almost exactly where I’d hoped to find it on my last cycle past here. Nice spot. TFTC!

Beautifully, deviously hidden. This is what I love about geocaching. Thanks for the cache.
This checkin to GLE5G3A7 Route Canal - Plough View reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Thanks for the maintenance! This was a lot easier to find than my previous attempt, when a nearby muggle boater kept trying to make conversation with me. TFTC!
This checkin to GLE5FVW1 Never at Sea - Grog reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Second time lucky! The woman in the shop was watching me with suspicion, so I had to wait until she was distracted by a customer before I moved the obstacles between me and the cache. Nice hiding place!
This checkin to GLE5FQXP Oxford University - Wellington Square reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Nice hiding spot! Cache lid a little loose-fitting, and wasn’t closed properly when I found it, but I’ve tried to put it back on as firmly as possible now. TFTC.

Second time lucky! I’d been very close last time around, but simply hadn’t sighted the obvious clue! No pencil in cache and my pen’s not working so as proof I took the cache a short walk away (so as not to put accidental spoilers in the background) and took a picture of it in my hand.
Thanks for the cache!

I’ve come past a few times before but this drizzly afternoon was the first occasion that it’s not been muggled to death. Nice easy find; TFTC.

How frustrating: a group of people are sat in a car parked RIGHT NEXT TO the cache. I took a Walsh around the corner and found the excellent Pointless Pathway, then came back to find them still just sitting here. Guess I’m not finding this one today…

What a wonderful little secret place buried away so close to civilization. Funny: I cycled right past the end of this pathway on my first ever geoHASHING expedition, almost three months ago, and never thought to look for caches on my way. It’s only now, having arrived earlier than expected for a medical appointment, that I got to come find this cache.
Log’s plastic bag is torn; log beginning to get damp.
TFTC!

Every friend I have with a job that involves picking up something heavier than a laptop more than twice a week eventually finds a way to slip something like this into conversation: “Bro, you don’t work hard. I just worked a 4700-hour week digging a tunnel under Mordor with a screwdriver.”
They have a point. Mordor sucks, and it’s certainly more physically taxing to dig a tunnel than poke at a keyboard unless you’re an ant. But, for the sake of the argument, can we agree that stress and insanity are bad things? Awesome. Welcome to programming.
