Kind: Checkins

Dan Q found GL3DVXT1 Idiom cat

The first time I saw this cache was the very first time I looked for it, weeks ago. I worked out exactly where it was, looked there, and stared right at it. I even thought to myself: “Wow, that gives me a great idea for a cache!” Little did I know but my idea WAS the idea that this cache’s creator had had…

Then today, I saw my idea implemented in a photo of another cache, on the web. “Hey,” I thought, “That was my idea.” Then the penny dropped, “Hang on… I’ve SEEN one JUST like that.” Sure enough, that was how Idiom Cat was hidden, too.

Should have brought tweezers to get at the log, though; I snapped my pen levering it out!

Dan Q found GL3DV3EE Kinky Tracks

After wiping down my GPS to be able to see the screen in this afternoon’s pouring rain, this one turned out to be exactly where I’d have put it, too: should’ve trusted my instincts. Took the AlwaysLooking geocoin and left a Travel Bug of my own, The Oxford Scouting Party: please help it make it’s way towards Oxford!

Dan Q found GL3DV6MJ Llanilar Station

Wonderful cache: I love these old stations. Picked up the elephant chimes, disposed of some sweets that a previous cacher had left (they were starting to go off and were at risk of attracting animals), and left a bouncy ball, sliding puzzle, and a fresh pencil.

Dan Q found GL3DV27R Kennel Bridge

To think, I’ve lived in the area for a decade and I’ve never known about this stretch of old railway. Immediately guessed where the cache would be, and it was a little too visible so I’ve camoflaged it with some of the stuff left lying around. Great cache, thanks!

Near the geocache.

Dan Q found GL3DV2E0 We’re Near Here

This checkin to GL3DV2E0 We're Near Here reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Cache is a little exposed: so much so that when I first saw it I thought “that can’t be it – too obvious!” Great little cache container. Lovely view of where the railway track used to run toward the old bridge. TFTC.

Bridge support post.

Dan Q found GL3DMBG4 Beta

Wow, what a great cache. FTF!!! reat hiding place; I walked around for about 20 mins before I found it (not helped by the GPS-scattering effect of the nearby trees!). TFTC.

Also, there was no pencil in the cache, so I’ve left one (cut down to a tiny size to fit, obviously).
