What does the belly dancer do on her day off? Plays the ukulele (although not very well, from the look of things)!

Next question: at what time does the execution of the English man take place?

Easy find while exploring the city. Lucky I’m no shorter than I am! TFTC.

09:56 Excellent cache in a great location. The hint was very helpful as even the small number of muggles around this early on was enough to require some stealth… and a useful TOTT – my phone, set to record video and held nonchalantly in the direction of the hide – helped too! Greetings from Oxford, UK, and TFTC!

No luck here. Given the number of DNFs this has had, lately, I think it’s a goner. CO?

Didn’t look for long because the heat was killing me, but long enough to check all the obvious places: no luck!

Another easy find, once I’d paced around a bit to pick the best route to the cache. Thanks for placing these caches, without which I likely wouldn’t have discovered this delightful trail!

A quick find this afternoon after wrapping up at the conference I’ve been attending these last few days. Nice to see a good-sized container! Greetings from the UK! TFTC.

Quick and easy find. This place has seen better days, hasn’t it?

The Elves may have left this place… but the geocache remains! Very easy find, and a satisfying conclusion to the series. Thanks for setting up/maintaining it, and greetings from Oxford, UK.

Had to wait a long time this morning while muggles small and large passed by, but eventually found a window to go rummaging in the hobbit hole. Unfortunately the world’s slowest dog walker – who passed me earlier – is now only just reaching about where I suspect the next one in the series is, so I’ll probably have to skip that one.

How fitting that I travel 5,300 miles from my home, which is a stone’s throw away from Tolkien’s grave, to my hotel near this series of caches themed after his work. Found my way “there and back again” to this cache and I was glad to have thoroughly read the description or else I shouldn’t have found it among the thick undergrowth. Container is damaged and clearly leaking; would benefit from some attention. TFTC!

Think I know where to look based on a good GPS fix and the hint, but the bushes were very wet and I didn’t want to start pushing through them. Maybe another time, if I’m still in the area.
