Kind: Checkins

This checkin to GLQX5W4D My Oooooooold School reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Took a little walk to find this from my mother’s house while visiting from Oxford. Lovely container! TFTC.

This checkin to GLQX5RN4 Church Micro 5673 ... Deepdale reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Used to live just around the corner from here! On a visit back, my mother and I took a walk out: I to find this cache, her on a “pokewalk”. Found without difficulty after a few minutes search. TFTC!

This checkin to GLQVNXYH Dorchester Dawdle 6 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found almost-accidentally with my 3 y/o caching assistant while visiting the festival today. We’d parked in the field and I’d just thought to look at my GPSr to see if there were any caches in the vicinity, and this one flagged up as being right next to us! Didn’t even have to see the description: the hiding place just jumped out at us! TFTC.

This checkin to GLQR2CZT Stadium Arcadium reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found with help from my 3 y/o niece (who was able to teach reach the cache… once she was sat on my shoulders!). TFTC.

Original log extremely damp, dampness spreading to new log. Needs some attention. CO: if you’re happy for a visitor to remove the old log, worth making a note to that effect?

This checkin to GLQQRWZK Collice Street Water Pump reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After an extended trip to the nearby park – one of our little one’s favourite places – she was able to be persuaded to join me for a little hike around the village. This old water pump (which she loved to play with) and the nearby cache was our first stop. An easy find: the little one was pleased to swap a sliding puzzle (which we barely managed to fit into the container) for a marble. SL. TFTC!

This checkin to GLQQT32Y Islip Millenium Wood reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After a lovely walk up from the pump at GC6PDXP, my 3 y/o geocaching buddy and I found this lovely cache with no difficulty. Could easily justify a larger container here!
Beautiful day and a great location. TFTC.

This checkin to GCZ51Y Eddie Confesses reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After a delightful hike across from two other caches, my 3 y/o geocaching assistant and I were optimistic about another find, but it wasn’t to be. It’s probably how well it’s camouflaged, but we hunted high and low sound the GZ for some time without success. The hint didn’t mean anything to us, so we hunted some more, but eventually had to give up. Maybe another day!

This checkin to GLQP5J37 Best Kept Garden reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Easy cache & dash for my 3 y/o niece and I on the way back from a trip to Islip play area (and one of Islip’s multis) from our home in Kidlington. Super easy find, nice and fast. No sign of the travel bug. TFTC.

This checkin to GLQP4RPJ Church Micro 9088 - Islip, St Nicholas reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Came out with my 3 y/o niece (and budding geocacher) to the play area across the road and took a diversion to come find this cache. Enjoyed finding the stages and reading/counting to get the requisite numbers. GZ (from our interpretation of the coordinates) had an ‘obvious’ hiding place, based on previous Church Micros we’ve found, but our instincts were deceptive: what we needed to be looking for wasn’t really ‘micro’-sized nor was it, as we’d initially suspected, magnetic!

Hint meant nothing to us (some kind of pop culture reference?) but previous logs that mentioned broadening the search helped us resolve to carry on searching despite the recent DNF, and we evacuating found the container. We found it on the ground, but based on its design we don’t believe that that’s where it was supposed to be, so we returned it to the nearest location for which its design seemed to fit. Logs slightly damp, not critical, but we weren’t carrying our repair kit so we weren’t able to do any maintenance.

A great idea for a multicache but might benefit from a better hint (it still makes no sense even after finding the cache!) and perhaps a better hiding place (based on the logs, this one looks like it keeps getting disturbed).

SL. TFTC.

This checkin to GLQJY8NE keele TB HOTEL north reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Stopped off on the Southbound carriageway and took a walk over here to find this cache while I was nearby. Only had my phone and not my GPSr, which made finding this harder than I’d like (my phone’s GPS is usually pretty appalling) but the hint made all the difference. GZ a little disgusting right now as clearly the walk across the car park to the services’ toilets was too far for somebody (eww), made worse by this being the hottest day of the year so far (double eww). No sign of either travel bug – must have already been taken – which is a pity because I’m sure I could have helped both along! Ah well! TFTC.

This checkin to GC2033H Heigh-Ho #5 - Doc reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

I just met somebody who was in the team that built this bridge (he was explaining about how the bridge is slightly wonky because the wrong kind of beams were delivered to the site). I was thinking: that’s a great story, I’m going to put a geocache somewhere near that bridge. But yours was already there so I shan’t. Just thought I’d share!

This checkin to GC6NWBN Pansy's Cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Having difficulty getting closer than 18m away (according to my devices): looks like it’s in someone’s garden! Gonna assume that the coordinates are off (or the satellites hate me today) and just start searching in a wide area…

Nope, no luck this morning. Thought I’d be in with a chance of an FTF for sure, but I can’t find the cache.

Both my GPSr and my phone seem to think that the posted coordinates are about 18m directly onto what’s clearly private property (and Google Maps agrees too, not that it’s always as accurate as a real life observation at GZ). Either the GPS gods aren’t smiling on me this morning, or the posted coordinates are off. :-(

This checkin to GLNEB6EN Horsey horsey reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found with tajasel and a toddler in tow. Cache was empty apart from the log, so we left a puzzle toy and a bouncy ball for future trades.
