  • Found GC97N3H Lodge Hill C & D

    QEF as a cache-and-dash. This afternoon, owing to Some Plot, I needed to go speak to a lawyer in Abingdon, and rewarded myself on a successful mission by visiting this cache on my way home. TFTC!

    Found GC7B9C6 Heykel&BoฤŸaz/Sculpture & Bosphorus- Virtual Reward

    As others have observed, this is a bit challenging right now owing to the hoardings that have been erected in the way. But like others, I found a gap in the fence through which I was able to photograph the sculpture. TFTC!

  • Dan waves a rainbow bandana in front of a wall painted in multitudinous colours, on a staircase with each step painted a different colour.

    Found GC6JQAX Rainbow Stairs

    Whether or not this piece of art is or was an act of political defiance, it might need to be one once again. Brought my own rainbow so I could be part of it, too. ๐ŸŒˆโœŠ

    Found GC892N8 Galata Tower

    My second visit of the day to the tower, has I didn't have a working pen with me on the first. Decided to go all-in on using my working pen by drawing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign... you get the idea.

  • Dan waves from a narrow but busy Istanbul city street.

    Found GC67ZH1 Karakoy Tunel

    QEF after a meeting in a nearby coworking space with some work colleagues from around the globe. A little stealth was required: given what's going on in the city right now, I definitely didn't want to look suspicious to one of the nearby cops! Soon retrieved, signed, and returned the cache. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK!

    Found GCAP4MF Church Micro 15127...Curbridge

    I had an errand to run in the Windrush Place estate on the other side of the A40, and the geopup needed a walk, so I opted to park the car over in Witney so my four-legged friend and I could walk the remaining way over to Curbridge and find this cache.
