Dan Q found GLVJCWVB Filton 2 (Community Garden Revived)

Driving back from Exmoor to Oxfordshire I decided to “cut the corner” between the M5 and M4 to fit a little geocaching in. My first instinct as to where this was hidden (despite my GPSr telling me I was wrong) was unsurprisingly unsuccessful, but as soon as I trusted my kit I found the container instantly. As others have said, it’s quite remarkable that it’s still there considering the severe pollarding that’s clearly taken place recently! Tucked cache a few centimetres deeper into cover to help keep it from prying eyes. TFTC!

Dan Q found GLVJCG3E Church Micro #4577 Puriton – St Michael

Pulled off the M5 on my way back to Oxfordshire from a holiday on Exmoor to find this cache. Unfortunately roadworks in Puriton made driving through require a diversion, so I pulled over at N 51°10.090 W002°58.710 opposite the Puriton Inn and enjoyed a springtime walk the rest of the way. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far but today was a far more normal temperature, which made for a lovely opportunity to explore the village as I made my way to the GZ. An easy find before a walk back through the church grounds: at first I feared that the gate at N51°10.225 W002°58.363 might be a fence and that there might be no entry to the church grounds from that angle, but I was luckily proven wrong and got to take a closer look at this heptocentenian tower before heading back to the motorway. TFTC.

Dan Q couldn’t find GC5NBW6 Motorway Mayhem: M5 Junction 27

No luck. An extended hunt ended when some muggles accused me of taking photos of them and went to ask the hotel staff to get me to leave (no idea if they would or could, but didn’t want to make a scene so went). If I come back this way I’ll CITO it to give me an excuse to be standing around!

Disregard my previous log; this cache is still accessible despite both ends of the bridge being fenced-off. Found while pacing about and considering jumping the fence to continue the hunt: turns out there’s no need! TFTC!

Bridge is now inaccessible from either side – this photo was taken from the Southbound side of the carriageway but you can just about make out similar fencing in place at the other end. :-(

Motorways services bridge, closed-off.

On a skiing holiday I took a day to go geocaching. This was my first (and easiest) find. Log very wet, unable to sign, but photo attached of me and cache (taken some way away from GZ) as proof of find.

On a skiing holiday I took a day to go geocaching. This was my second find. Shopkeeper was looking strangely at me through the window so I pretended to be interested in the sculpture and took photos until he stopped watching. Cache was in third place I looked.

On a skiing holiday I took a day to go geocaching. This was my third find. Wonderful location, although I came (on foot) from the top and down rather than the bottom and up. Lovely location, FP awarded.
