This checkin to GC9P505 Paddington Bear & friends (Leicester Square) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
A morning meander around the local (mostly virtual) caches under the guise of checking the condition of the West End Live queue, while the rest of my group enjoyed a lie-in, eventually brought me to take a seat alongside this iconic bear. TFTC!
This checkin to GCBJ704 Seven Dials Sundial reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Approaching from the West I was foiled by the glare of the rising sun in my efforts to claim this fascinating monument from afar and eventually had to walk all the way past it to line up my photo!
Thanks for the detailed cache page; I love a history lesson when I’m on a morning walk! TFTC.
This checkin to GC38EQ3 Underground reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Initially thought I’d be able to find this one without the hint, but when I couldn’t get fix to closer than 8m I took a peep at it and was instantly aware of where to search. Soon the cache was in hand and I was back on my way. TFTC!
This checkin to GC240NQ West End 1 - The Beatles reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Stood around for a bit reading about David Bowie while I waited for the waitstaff -on their pre-work fag break down the alleyway – stopped their muggling and went inside. Glad I came early while it was quiet here! TFTC.

Can’t do the physical today, but scooping a pic with the virtual during a morning walk around the neighbourhood.
Strictly speaking, I’ve come out to check on behalf of my family whether the queue for day two of West End Live has started gathering yet, but I couldn’t resist tagging a couple of caches on the way! TFTC (and to the adopter for keeping this one alive!).
This checkin to GCAJJCJ Piccadilly Circus (Virtual Reward 4.0) ツ reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
After nine hours on my feet yesterday queuing for and then attending the first day of West End Live in Trafalgar Square, I somehow decided that the best thing for my poor legs would be to get up early while everybody else slept in, to come walk around and find a virtual or two. Right around the corner from my hotel, this was the first!
There’s scaffolding around the fountain right now but you can still see it and, crucially, the lights. Good morning, London! TFTC.
This checkin to GCBPAKM Grab a seat and Take in the View reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Sat in the shade with my panting pupper and almost immediately spotted this clever cache container. A great location and an imaginative container! Definitely worth an FP from me.
This checkin to GCBPAMZ Not the Twiggist of finds reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
A good hiding spot for this type of cache, which the geohound and I found while on a walk this sunny morning. TFTC.
This checkin to geohash 2026-05-06 51 -1 reflects a geohashing expedition. See more of Dan's hash logs.
Large field near Tawny’s Farm, East of Stanton Harcourt.
Between dropping the kids off at school and going to the dentist I had a small window of time in the vicinity of this hashpoint. Could I make it? I figured I’d rush out there and find out. It’d all depend on whether the field was actively in-use (I’m not gonna go tramping through crops!).
I’ve been sort-of distracted from geohashing after my house flooded and I had to evacuate earlier this year, so I’ve not had much opportunity to get out and participate. But today, that changed!
After dropping the kids at their schools I drove to Manor Cottages at 51.746, -1.396 where I knew I’d be able to park, then set off at a jog down the rest of Steadys Lane and onto the permissive footpath beyond. I waved to a solitary walker coming the other way, and pressed on until I was close to the field.
Satellite photography suggested that I wouldn’t be able to enter the field directly, so I hopped a gate into the field West of it and was pleased to discover that neither field was currently cultivated.
The hashpoint turned out to be about 700 metres into the field, and it felt sort of open and exposed to go tramping right across the middle of it, but sure enough that’s where I reached the circle of uncertainty, at 08:53.
Coming back, I spotted a disused and rusty old gate that provided easier access to the field, which provided a quicker way back to the footpath.
No tracklog today. 😢 I’m not sure if I’ve seen my GPSr since the flood, so I was just working off my my phone.
This checkin to GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
For a while I was looking way too high, but in the end I caught a glimpse of this surprisingly well-concealed container.
And that’s the loop complete! Big thanks to the CO for setting this excellent trail spanning so many gorgeous footpaths, many of them new to me despite being relatively local!
Thanks for all the caches, and for a delightful Spring morning’s walk!
This checkin to GCBMAMC #21 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
A good thematic cache container which we managed to find in a gap between muggle traffic. TFTC.

QEF for the geohound and I as we push on into the final straight of our circular walk. TFTC!
This checkin to GCBMAM2 #19 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
My GPSr – and my eyes – locked on to a nearby gate post which I searched thoroughly before realising it wasn’t the host: d’oh! Eventually found success while the doggo tried to make more sheepy friends.
This checkin to GCBMAKZ #18 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Solid coordinates walked me right into this one, although I’ve still got to give it credit for excellent camouflage! TFTC.

TOTT? Hah! I laugh in the face of your arbitrary requirements. 😂 A little climbing and a big stretch put this cache in my hand with no need for field manufacturing. The dog watched on, bemused, from the path.
