    Geohashing expedition 2018-08-23 50 -1

    This checkin to geohash 2018-08-23 50 -1 reflects a geohashing expedition. See more of Dan's hash logs. Location
    Hyden Wood, near Chidden. The woods look to be criss-crossed with footpaths, so this might be pretty achievable.

    This checkin to GC5P5KN SDGT South Downs Way Mile 20 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's been a long time since I've seen a geocache hidden this way: FP for that alone! A lovely spot to drop in on in my way back from a successful hike to the โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC2X5BJ Small Down Boogie 3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find while taking a shortcut through the woods on my way to the 2018-08-23 50 -1 geohashing hashpoint (an expedition that was eventually successful, though not without its challenges)! Container was exposed so I โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GCTNZ6 Vโ€™s own @ M4 - J13 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Better than your usual services cache-and-dash, I really appreciated that this cache took me away from the service station and along up a delightful little bridleway, this morning, not to mention the decent-sized container!

In Lacock on an "away day" with colleagues from the Bodleian Libraries to visit the Abbey, I found a spare few minutes to seek this cache.

You think when you chain a container to an abandoned concrete block that's been "just standing there" fire years that it'll be safe, don't you? Turns out: not necessarily!

I hung around for a while and the muggles dispersed for long enough that I could get in and sign the log. TFTC. Great hide, and fab location: FP awarded.
