Went out for a lovely walk with presquevu to hunt for the Constellations series. This was our first find, but the GZ was quite overgrown and it took us a while to get through to where the cache was! TFTC.

Took a while for presquevu and I to get warmed-up and into the geocaching spirit, but we found this one without too much difficulty once we started looking in the right place.

A tougher find for presquevu and I. At first, my GPSr seemed to imply that the cache might have been on or under the obvious nearby landmark, and once we realised that we were wrong there was a reasonable amount of hacking-through-the-undergrowth required to get to the actual GZ. Nice spot for a geocache – we saw a heron and a rabbit on our walk to this point, among other wildlife.

presquevu and I spent a while hunting for this, but were interrupted by curious-looking dog walkers and didn’t want to continue to look so suspicious within such close range of a school. So after this DNF, we called it a day and went to find ourselves a nice pub lunch. Thanks for the series (that which we did of it, at least): with the exception of the bit on the scary road, we had a wonderful time.

presquevu and I were glad to get off the main road and back onto these lovely winding footpaths. Unfortunately we weren’t able to find this cache, though: it looks like some work has been done this year to repair some of the damaged fences, and we wonder if this might have affected the cache’s hiding place. :-(

presquevu and I narrowly missed this one – we must have walked right by it – because it wasn’t sync’d to my GPSr! What a pity – looks like a great cache: we may have to come back and finish the series, starting from here.

Found while out on a walk with fleeblewidget and her daughter. Easy find, but this year’s growth made it a little challenging to extract from its hiding place! TFTC.

Carrying on with my walk with fleeblewidget and her baby, we saw deer foraging for crab apples out
among the trees. Found the cache without difficulty (quickly guessed what we were looking for) but the log was stuck and we couldn’t extract it to sign. :-(
Lovely spot for a great hide, nonetheless. FP awarded.

Last cache on fleeblewidget and I’s walk with her baby. Wouldn’t have found it without the hint (also: not sure I agree with the size category!). Had a little explore they pressed on to Thrupp. TFTC!

Just passing by, dropped off a travel bug.

Performed maintenance: dried out contents and added fresh silica gel sachets to help keep moisture out, adjusted seal to improve waterproofing, added a travel bug that loves mystery caches (help him find more!).

Found while out for a walk with my partner’s baby. Easy find, once we realised which road we needed to start from! Took Travel Sheep travel bug, because the little one was quite taken by it (as will be clear from the photo!). Kidlington needs more caches! TFTC.

This one, labelled 4 (there’s definitely been a switcheroo somewhere here) was an easier find than I expected: my hunch was spot on! To think that I only lived a few streets over a couple of years back and never discovered this footpath! TFTC.

It’s still there, folks! Glad I didn’t look at the logs before I started searching or I might have given up prematurely! My ‘cacher-sense was tingling as I approached the GZ: there is one really obvious hiding spot! After an unsuccessful search, though, I figured I must be wrong and deciphered the hint, which strongly suggested that the “obvious place” really WAS where I should be looking. I tried again, and sure enough, it’s right where it ought to be: you just need to keep looking for a while! Easy reach for any adult – don’t give up!
Excellent container in an excellent spot – FP awarded. Now off back to the Vic for a well-earned pint!

Loved Marston Mystery 1 so much I decided to come back and bag a couple more on my way to a gathering of magicians at the Victoria Arms tonight. Hunted among the nettles at the wrong side of the path for a bit (and among some particularly fragrant wild mint which I never found but could certainly smell!) but the hint set me straight. TFTC.
