How frustrating: a group of people are sat in a car parked RIGHT NEXT TO the cache. I took a Walsh around the corner and found the excellent Pointless Pathway, then came back to find
them still just sitting here. Guess I’m not finding this one today…
What a wonderful little secret place buried away so close to civilization. Funny: I cycled right past the end of this pathway on my first ever geoHASHING expedition, almost three months ago, and never thought to look for caches on my way. It’s only now,
having arrived earlier than expected for a medical appointment, that I got to come find this cache.
Log’s plastic bag is torn; log beginning to get damp.
After being unable to properly hunt earlier in the week (muggles everywhere!), I returned with tajasel, fleeblewidget, and fleeblewidget‘s baby while making use of Sainsbury’s car park to go and take some photographs of the newly
under-construction station. I don’t know what the trees in bloom are around the edge of the car park, but they set off my hayfever something awful and I was a wheezy wet mess by the
time we got back to the car!
Nice to see so many cachers or today! Didn’t realise why until we saw the signs. Couldn’t stay for lunch, though: our little one needed taking home. Have a great CITO!
Coming close to the end of our walk, fleeblewidget and I found this cache just as the baby was
waking up again, having been napping for the majority of the expedition!
One last find before hometime for fleeblewidget, her baby, and I. Thanks for a great series: shall
have to come back and did the couple we skipped, some day!
The first find of the day for fleeblewidget and I, or for a mini-expedition with her baby strapped
to me. Dropped off a travel bug that’s recently made it to the UK. TFTC.
Fanatic cache and a wonderfully fun puzzle. Was unclear to begin which bit of the numbers I should have been using, but a little trial and error sussed it. TNLN, TFTC!
(I did keep worrying that I could be seen from a nearby flock of bats, so I took care as I rustled around in the cache’s nosey little cook)
Stopped by on my way back from lunch. Thankfully this morning’s foul weather has kept the tourists away, so I didn’t have to contend with too many muggles as I undertook my brief
search. Thanks!
A gap in a hedge just to the side of a lane running from Kidlington to North Yarnton, near the level crossing on the line that connects Oxford to Banbury.
A Easter Bank Holiday weekend: what a perfect time for geohashing: and not just because of the warm weather and the fact that you can plan your expedition an
extra day in advance, thanks to the exchange closures! No, it’s a great time especially because today’s hashpoint was a mere 300 metres from my house, as the crow flies (though the
crow, at least, didn’t have to work his way down to to the bridge over the canal in order to get there).
The hashpoint turned out to be in a gap in the hedge, half-way between down the road connecting a canal bridge to a level crossing. We saw a squirrel.
On the way back, Dan insisted that Ruth (and Annabel, who didn’t get much say in the matter) came with him to find nearby geocaches GC3P0QK and GC3P0RJ on the way back home, before they spent the day out in the sunshine exploring
Oxfordshire in general.
