Tag: cache log

  • Found GC2CWQ7 #036 Just Northamptonshire

    I walked to a different COUNTY one morning before breakfast, just to get a geocache!

  • Jonah's Oak; a large and well-kept oak tree in the middle of a hedgerow, with plaques on and around it, with festival workings in the background.

    This checkin to GCAJH34 Jonah's Oak reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My little tribe and I have, in some form of another, been attending Cropredy for decades: intermittently in the past, but lately with more regularity every year.

    QEF (once we started paying attention to the right host object!) for the geopup and I on a morning dog walk after an errand in the village. TFTC, now better get off to work!

  • Wrote note for GCB8W6H In Memory

    Checked-in on this cache as it's had surprisingly-few visits yet. Reassured to find that it's all still in place and findable. Second-to-find's still up for grabs.

    Found GCA6CCW Purple door

    This checkin to GCA6CCW Purple door reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's possible that cycling this path wasn't the wisest idea, I realised, as I dodged brambles on both sides. So focused was I on riding safely that I forgot which GPSr I'd brought with me and listening for โ€ฆ

    Found GCADCWF Treasure island

    After an appointment in Witney I opted to divert my cycle home to find this and the other cache on the same path.

    This checkin to GC81KDC Standardisation Roundabout reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Deciphered this puzzle when it was first published: so long ago that I'd forgotten the specifics of how exactly I did so (although I'm pretty confident I remember the gist of it). But I don't find myself over โ€ฆ

In Marston on an errand, I found myself with enough free time to try to find another few local caches. This puzzle wasn't as easy as Dotty's other one, fir me, because for a while I was โ€ฆ

  • Found GCAPFH3 Cherry Blossom

    Third time's the charm. I don't live too far away and I'm often found cycling to, from, or through Eynsham. As a result, I've on two previous occasions come to this GZ with a view to finding this cache... and both times have been glorious summer weekend days when the adjacent cafรฉ has been brim full of guests, and I've declared it "too muggley" and backed off.
    Today, though, is a gloomy and overcast day, with rain on the way and a threat of thunderstorms. So as I cycled by, on my way home from the dentist, I stopped by. I quickly found and retrieved the cache, signed the log, and returned it to its spot.
    Now I'd better see if I can pedal all the way home before the clouds burst! TFTC.

  • Dan, standing by his bike on an iron footbridge over marshy ground, makes an exaggerated shrugging gesture.

    Did not find GC74Z2R Metal bridge cache

    Stopped by while cycling back from Witney. Made a moderately thorough search above and below the titular bridge, without success. Might benefit from a checkin/note from the CO.
    Maybe I'm just not seeing it, or else maybe it's vanished in the six months since its last successful find. Great place for a cache, though!

    Found GCAWNQH Light me up

    This checkin to GCAWNQH Light me up reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF while cycling into Witney for an appointment. Cache lid is absent (missing?): risk of becoming waterlogged later in the year, I suspect. TFTC.

  • Did not find GC9M1WJ Village Hall series 1179 - Mortimer Hall Marston

    Had to give up on this one for now. Found the plaque without difficulty and soon had a believable set of coordinates (though I briefly struggled with what was meant by the D & E description). Soon I was at the GZ and, after a brief hunt through the multitude of possible hosts, tried the hint. No use, though: I'm no wiser what I should be looking for. Sadly this is only a flying visit to Marston and I've got to go wrangle the kids now, but maybe I'll revisit next time I'm in the area.

  • Found GC9GJZH Dotty writes letters

    I'm in Marston on an errand and figured I'd pick up a couple of local caches that weren't around when I was last in the vicinity: which I guess was way back when I lived near here! The puzzle didn't leave me stumped for long, but I always used to score highly at Dotty's kind of game! TFTC.
