Kind: Checkins

Dan Q found GL8XV0PH Trainspotting 2 – Trackside view

This checkin to GL8XV0PH Trainspotting 2 - Trackside view reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

The “hardest” cache on our list for this morning turned out to be the easiest, as we walked along and just spotted it (we were helped by the fact that it appeared to be disguised in the same way as “Trainspotting”, which we’d just come from). Strangely, it doesn’t seem to fully fit its description here, but it was definitely in the right place and was certainly signed by some of the recent visitors, so I guess we found it!

Not too many nettles to sting us, this time, but a few.

Woke up early while visiting friends Restlessboy and pickettywitch, so went out for a walk and found this lovely little cache while I was out. Took “Vegas Here We Come!”, because anywhere I leave it has to be closer to an international airport than here! TFTC!

Dan Q found GL8V6N29 UCLan Library – St. Peter’s Church

This checkin to GL8V6N29 UCLan Library - St. Peter's Church reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found with some difficulty as there’s been scaffolding erected in front of the cache: takes some reaching to get past it, and also attracted me some strange looks from passers-by: not sure it’s going to remain a good place for a cache while the scaffolding is there! Pen had stopped working earlier in the day so I couldn’t sign the log. TFTC.

Dan Q found GL73T5N0 The ox-stream caching series – Wytham Stream

This checkin to GL73T5N0 The ox-stream caching series - Wytham Stream reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found with fleeblewidget, pacifist_049, and misterjta (the latter of which spotted it in no time at all despite the low light). TFTC: it’s been a while since I’ve been out on the hunt!

Dan Q found GL5HNCDH Carfax Tower

This checkin to GL5HNCDH Carfax Tower reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found pretty easily this lunchtime… but my pen didn’t work! So instead I took a photo of the cache while I hid in a nearby phone box (attached).

Nice re-use of a hard disk drive magnet on this cache! Good to see a little recycling in action!

Geocache with hard drive magnet as an attachment point.

Dan Q found GL5HJDRG University Challenge 11 (The High)

This checkin to GL5HJDRG University Challenge 11 (The High) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

A quick lunchtime cache-and-dash around my workplace. Easy to find exactly where it’ll be, but very hard to find the right moment to snatch it (and return it!) without being spotted by the muggles who’d come out in force for this lovely sunny day. TFTC.

Dan Q found GL5HJDQ2 University Challenge 2 (New College’s Rear)

This checkin to GL5HJDQ2 University Challenge 2 (New College's Rear) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

A quick lunchtime cache-and-dash around my workplace. An easy find (but a great hiding place); I’m glad I wore laced shoes! Looked at the hint after I found it, though, and I’ve no idea how it would have helped me: maybe I just don’t “get it”. TFTC.

Dan Q couldn’t find GC1Q1TW SideTracked – Oxford

This checkin to GC1Q1TW SideTracked - Oxford reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

It’s not been my day! With the help of the co-ordinates, the clue, and confirmation from another cacher, I’m pretty-much certain that I was in the right place, but it looks like it had been removed. Will try again another time…
