Excellent cache, here! fleeblewidget and I walked right past it, walked back again, waited for some muggles to pass, and then looked right at it and around it before we found what we were looking for. Despite having already done several of Malpas Wanderer’s other caches, we were pleased and surprised to find yet another ingenious bit of cache-placing. Quite hard to put the log back again afterwards, though!

Fourth cache in today’s expedition. Great container, and it took a few minutes before fleeblewidget and I spotted it! Picked up Mick’s Pirhana travel bug and dropped off the “code” travel bug (a long way from home, now!). Met a friendly donkey just a little further South along the path who ran alongside the fence to come and greet us and said goodbye with big, sad eyes.

Cache was a little damp so I added a couple of silica gel sachets to help keep it dry.

Dan Q found GL3FWJFJ PC-005 Goat Pasture

Fifth cache of the day, and it was I who managed to home-in on this one fastest, leaving fleeblewidget on the path as I went straight for the cache. Only one-star difficulty? Wow: you take things seriously around here. No goats in the field today, but plenty of bunny rabbits.

Dan Q found GL3FWHCM PC-004 Not Quite The Thames Path

Third cache in today’s expedition. The trees and fence made the GPS signal spotty, but a quick walk up and down a few times got us a good fix on this beautiful little cache. I’ve never found an ammo box cache before, so this is my first, and it was quite an experience: a whole trove of treasures! Took the Seattle Compass-Thermometer travel bug (but didn’t think to take a temperature reading at the time, will try to remember to do so when I drop it off) and the Poker Events Geocoin (not listed as being in the box, listed as being with it’s owner!), and left the Red Jeep Travel Bug.

Thanks for a great cache!

Dan Q found GL3FWGDP Thames Path – Castle Meadows

First of today’s expedition, found with fleeblewidget. GPSr was playing up early this afternoon and tried to send us about 15m away from the cache (and it’s usually ever so good), but fleeblewidget’s eyes were sharp and she found it pretty quickly anyway. TFTC.

Dan Q found GL3FWGJF Thames Path – Benson Lock

Second of today’s expedition: again, I wouldn’t have found it without the help of fleeblewidget, who thought to look exactly where it turned out to be. A beautiful area, the last time I was here was during last winter’s heavy snowfall, and it looks completely different when it’s under the bright skies of the beginning of spring. Great little cache, thanks!

Dan Q posted a note for GC1ZR2F The Black Cat

On our walk past here, we worked out where the cache was, but didn’t have time to stop for a drink and so didn’t claim the cache. Peeped over the fence from outside to work out where it probably was, though. Maybe another day!

Dan Q found GL3EMBYM The Viewfinder Trail #3 Tower View from Old Stumpy

Hadn’t fully read the description (whoops!) so we spent some time hunting around the sign for the cache. Got there in the end, right before our ride home arrived. Took a friend – his first ever cache. Left a silica gel sachet to combat the growing moisture in the cache and dropped off a Geocoin. TFTC!
