Found GC13NEG From a Swan to the Canary: Hermit
I'm in London for a long weekend of Jet Lag Hide & Seek, staying at a hotel a little to the North of here. After having to DNF Aldgate East Sidetracked, which is pretty much below my bedroom window but seems to have gone walkabout, I felt like I needed a geocaching win so I waked down here to hunt for this one.
Initially starting atop the bridge I soon realised that I needed to approach this one from the waterfront. I first found a more-obvious hiding spot - perhaps the home of the larger muggled container? - before checking the hint and locating its younger sibling.
Greeted some swans before beginning the rainy walk back to check out of my hotel. -
Did not find GC6R926 TUBE SideTracked - Aldgate East
I've been in London playing Hide & Seek (by Jet Lag rules) and my hotel overlooks this fountain. I came down to take a look - the "running hooves" splash effect is pretty great!
Sadly, the cache was nowhere to be found, though. I found the right dog and prodded and poked it, as well as running an investigative mirror around every side of it, without success. Think it might have vanished! -
Found GC9BD0E Church Micro 14013...Clerkenwell - St Marks
QEF in the second hiding place I tried, while out playing Jet Lag The Game with the family (my hiding zone is the 500m around Angel Station and I wanted to find a generic looking church that I can send a picture of if the seekers' team asks for one!). TFTC!

Found GC8VFV3 Freeland to Hanborough - Bonus Cache #2
A very quick final find on our walk with Menssana Martial Arts. Thanks for maintaining this series!

Found GCAXYB9 Freeland to Hanborough #04 - Revived
Found in the third candidate place I looked, as the other walkers from my youngest kid's taekwondo school escaped into the woods ahead. Had to jog to catch up after this find! Discovered my kid leading the pack, when I finally got there.

Found GCAF07M Freeland to Hanborough #06 - Revived
A second diversion from the taekwondo group to find a cache just off the beaten track, this gloriously clear morning!

Found GCAXZQ5 Freeland to Hanborough - Bonus Cache #5
A quick find while out with the younger kid on a walk with his taekwondo school. TFTC!

Found GCB19MJ St Ann's Well
This checkin to GCB19MJ St Ann's Well reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. There's some kind of foot race going on today and the well area is heaving with people: spectators lining the roadside are cheering and whooping as the runners barrel past. My partner Ruth and are only in …

A pre-dawn walk around East Bristol from a Three Rings event took me to within 16 metres... but not quite all the way to... a geohashpoint.

Found GC85TVQ Out Of Office
This checkin to GC85TVQ Out Of Office reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I expected not to have opportunity for a second attempt at this today, but my schedule opened up somewhat when the fire alarm went off at the hotel and we had to evacuate! As hotel guests and …

Did not find GC85TVQ Out Of Office
This checkin to GC85TVQ Out Of Office reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I'm spending the weekend in the hotel nearby, for the AGM of a nonprofit I'm involved with. This morning I realised they I had a spare quarter of an hour before a meeting and wondered if I …

Found GC46YDF Second Row - Ball Retention
This checkin to GC46YDF Second Row - Ball Retention reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found lying on the ground, in the open. Based on the previous log, I guess that, without its magnets, it quickly fell down. Re-hid, visibly, in a large crack in the wall which I hope …

Found GC46YCV Lock - Hanging Bison
A quick find for the geohound and I while walking back to Tackley (via the TP6298 trigpoint up on the rise to the North) from the 2026-09-27 51 -1 geohashpoint. A successful hashing expedition followed by a successful geocache find, nice!

Geohashing expedition 2026-09-27 51 -1
I woke early and grumpy and, to try to shake myself out of a funk, went out with the dog in search of a geohashpoint near a trigpoint in a field near Tackley.

Did not find GC3C7FT Woodies
This checkin to GC3C7FT Woodies reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After seeking (and finding, surprisingly) the 2026-09-13 51 -1 geohashpoint down in the Brook Hill nature reserve, the geohound and I came to try to find this cache, too. After finding the correct way into the nature reserve (access …
