Dan Q found GLDZ1P1C BIKERZ – Baldon Lane

This checkin to GLDZ1P1C BIKERZ - Baldon Lane reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found with fleeblewidget and her baby after a trip to the Arboretum. Great work with a clever (if easy!) hiding place: I’m gonna learn from that. Saw some motorcyclists, but none of them stopped, but as we drove away (after picking up the car from across the road) we saw two other cachers hunting for it. We waved from the car but I’m not sure if they heard/understood what I was saying! TFTC

After an extended search, it was my partner fleeblewidget who, despite being encumbered by the baby-carrier harness, first spotted this well-concealed little cache. Feels like the difficulty should be 2 stars to me, but maybe I’m just going soft. TFTC.

Out for a walk with fleeblewidget and her baby, took a look for this cache on the way past. Nice little cache! Took the Scottish Football 2 travel bug; see if I can find it a new home somewhere…

Muggles kept wandering past and hampering my search (which was already slowed down by the fact that I didn’t “get” the hint; ah well!). Ran out of time on my lunchbreak: I’ll have to come back another time.

Hunted as well as I was willing to, without putting my hands into anything particularly disgusting in the improvised toilet that is this GZ. :-( No luck, though: perhaps I’m not looking in the right place, or perhaps it’s somewhere that I wasn’t happy to put my fingers…

Dan Q found GLDWG38D Dogfort v Catfort – Dogfort Scientist

Let battle commence! My first Dogfort vs. Catfort find, but hopefully not my last.

Great location, but took me a while to get the cache out of it’s hiding place – perhaps I’ve not got the dexterity that I used to have!

My last hunt of the day, as it started to get dark and my GPSr’s battery finally died and it made a sad noise and fell asleep. The hint only told me what I already knew: my signal had been spot on! But that didn’t help me find the cache. I wondered if it might have been too high for me to see, or reach, so I climbed a tree (haven’t done that in a while!) and looked down at where I suspected it might be, but no luck. Searched a lot of places, but eventually had to give up.

Wonderful location, though: I’ll certainly be coming back for another hunt.

Dan Q couldn’t find GC4CFE3 Route Canal – Court View

This checkin to GC4CFE3 Route Canal - Court View reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Battery was starting to get low on my phone, which I was using as my GPS and which I’d forgotten to properly charge before I left the office this afternoon, so I didn’t hunt for long… but I wonder if it might be missing, because that’s a few of us now that haven’t been able to spot it…

Dan Q couldn’t find GC3XVHG Route Canal – Plough View

A narrowboater had moored nearby and struck up a conversation with me as I parked my bike and sat on the bench near this cache. It’s a shame he was so friendly, because it gave me no opportunity to surreptitiously reach for the cache!
