Dan Q found GCANV2R #03 Longworth Loop

This checkin to GCANV2R #03 Longworth Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Searched high and low around the obvious hiding place before sitting down to have a think and immediately spotting another even better hiding place she the cache in pain sight: d’oh! The geopup didn’t want to come all the all the way to it so she waited at the first obvious hiding spot.

Dan looks confused, sitting on a concrete block.

Great to see a good sized cache for the environment and in such good condition. FP awarded. Took 4×4 travel bug. TFTC!

A morning walk for the geohound and I kicked off at this cache, near which we’d parked the car. Long been meaning to explore this loop: let’s see how far we get before the pooch’s tiny legs give her cause to protest! SL as DQ to save space at this QEF. TFTC!

Dan Q found GC1QR0V Church Micro 605 Almondsbury

This checkin to GC1QR0V Church Micro 605 Almondsbury reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Stopped at the pub nearby for an incredibly late lunch and to recharge the electric car on my journey from Pembrokeshire to Oxfordshire, because I’d much rather get off the motorway and find somewhere nice to sit while the electrons do their thing. Spotted this nearby cache in the yard of this beautiful church, which made for a lovely walk as the well-tended flowerbeds were wonderfully fragrant. Followed a geotrail to find the cache. Amazing, loved finding this so much. SL, TNLN, TFTC, FP awarded.

Dan Q found GC9FHDP Kiln-ing me softly

This checkin to GC9FHDP Kiln-ing me softly reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

The geopup and I took a walk from the Parrog to Newport Sands and back, this morning, and I’m glad we opted to find geocaches on the way back, rather than the way out, because it made this particular cache extraordinarily easy. The rocks that ought to have concealed it were absent and I was able to make out the familiar shape of this kind of container from the path, no searching required!

The remains of a stone kiln, a gravel path running alongside it, alongside a river estuary.
Had I approached from this direction, I might still be searching.

Returning it to its spot, I attempted to reconceal it with the help of some nearby slabs if slate. But given how much of an obvious magnet to playful children this entire structure is (I’m pretty sure mine had a go at dismantling it on a previous visit, predating this cache, circa 2019!) I’m not sure how long it’ll remain!

TFTC. Great to walk this path once more!

Dan Q found GC5JRP3 T’drath #3

This checkin to GC5JRP3 T'drath #3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

I tried to find this cache back in 2016 without success. I’m confident I’d have looked in the place it’s now hidden – which was today basically the first place I looked! – so maybe fast previous visit was during one of the cache’s periods of absencennIn any case, I returned today and brought my faithful geohound on a morning walk from Parrog to Newport Sands and back, finding this cache on our return leg. She wasn’t much help, but fortunately I didn’t need her to be! TFTC.

Dan Q found GCB4434 A Road Anarchy – A40 TB Hotel

This checkin to GCB4434 A Road Anarchy - A40 TB Hotel reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

On a diversion from my cycle from Witney to Eynsham I came along the A40 cyclepath to find this cache. And what a cache! An excellent container perfectly suited to it’s hiding place. SL, TNLN, FP awarded for a large and well maintained container, TFTC.

Dan Q found GCAARWW Green All Around

This checkin to GCAARWW Green All Around reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After cycling into Witney on an errand, put a slight diversion in my return route to find this cache. Didn’t see anything at the coordinates so hit the hint, and there’s been enough fresh green growth here that effect even then it took me a while to find the hint object! It probably used to be more visible! Once I’d found it (a few metres North if the GZ) the cache was found soon after. TFTC.

At a suburban junction between two residential streets, near a small green space, Dan waves as he leans against his bicycle.

Dan Q found GC2MTTV Power to the People

This checkin to GC2MTTV Power to the People reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Not too busy here this morning so I was able to mount a proper search for the cache. No sign of the container, so providing a photo log in accordance with CO’s instructions. TFTC.

Dan stretches high to touch the back of a sign mounted on a pole, alongside tram signals, in a city centre.

My GPSr puts the hint item about 9m South of the posted coordinates, with strong signal, BTW.

Dan Q found GC84F1A Manchester Central Library

This checkin to GC84F1A Manchester Central Library reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

What a truly spectacular cache. FP awarded, without hesitation. I’ve seen a similar kind in a library before but never with such depth, such a story, so voluminous a container, nor – let’s be honest – so beautiful a building!

The Wolfson room was packed, presumably with people studying for their upcoming exams, but I found a seat there to work out the final location. Once there, I made my way up and found it without difficulty. No trouble with the numbers from me.

Sitting in a traditionally-decorated circular reading room, Dan writes in a notepad.

I’m going to try to tag one or two more Manchester caches before I catch my train home, but I can’t imagine any will hold a candle to this. TFTC!
