Digest for October 2017

Summary

This month I hunted for a few geocaches (1, 2, 3) and complained that Yodel let people queue on their (premium rate) phone line even when they’re closed.

Superdrug, 11 Market St, Oxford OX1 3EF, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Economical alternative to Boots, across the road, stocking a broad range of toiletries, cosmetics, and over-the-counter medicines.

Review of Ben’s Cookies

Ben's Cookies, 108-109 Covered Market, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic freshly-baked cookies. Orange and chocolate is a firm favourite for me, but oatmeal and raisin is a strong contender too.

Clean, well-kept motorway services with all the usual amenities. Parking sometimes a little busy.

Review of The Covered Market Oxford

The Covered Market Oxford, Market St, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An Oxford institution almost as well-established as the Colleges (although a lot less well-known), the covered market is home to dozens of small and local shops and cafes. Well worth a visit whether you’re a resident or just a tourist in the city.

Review of Moo-Moo’s

Moo-Moo's, 34/35 The, Covered Market, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fresh ice-cream milkshakes in literally hundreds of flavours. I recommend the Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

Dan Q found GLTG6AWT Patchy the Pirate

This checkin to GLTG6AWT Patchy the Pirate reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found during a trip to the cinema with my family, whom I’m up visiting in Preston from Oxford. Very quick find thanks to a solid description: cache still intact despite ongoing work on the paths here; however, currently NOT wheelchair accessible until the new paths are laid. SL, TFTC.
