    Did not find GC2WV01 JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Field of Dreams

    This checkin to GC2WV01 JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Field of Dreams reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Made a search around the hint area but this one is nowhere to be seen. Based on the string of recent DNFs, it's probably gone or else so deeply buried that it'll never be โ€ฆ

    Found GC3110V JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~I 'OAK' THIS

    This checkin to GC3110V JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~I 'OAK' THIS reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Woke early and unrested, grumpy and tired, after staying nearby, and figured a pre-breakfast walk through these fields might nice my mood. Coordinates pointed right to a candidate hiding spot that set my geosense โ€ฆ

  • Dan, seen from below, scrambles up a craggy limestone cliff underneath a hawthorne tree that clings to an overhang.

    Found GC47GDB Kiln Crag - Knipescar

    A bit of an adventure! I first approached this cliffside cache from above, which turned out to be a mistake, but a climb from below was also initially fruitless because the cache had fallen from its hiding place, perhaps some time this winter. Delightful fun.

    Found GC1DH2A Knipe Scar - Haweswater View

    Never one to let a hard day's voluntary work keep me from a geocaching expedition, this afternoon I took a hot brisk walk up the scar to find this (and hopefully next another nearby!) cache. Caught my breath sitting on a rock near the GZ, before pressing on. SL, TNLN, TFTC. FP awarded for such a delightful spot.

    Found GC1DH7W Knipe Scar - On the Edge

    A swift uphill scramble for my friend and fellow volunteer John and I, before dinner. We're staying in a nearby farmhouse for a week if volunteer work, writing software to help charities. Beautiful view from the summit this evening! SL, TNLN, TFTC!

    QEF as a cache-and-dash. This afternoon, owing to Some Plot, I needed to go speak to a lawyer in Abingdon, and rewarded myself on a successful mission by visiting this cache on my way home. TFTC!

    Found GC7B9C6 Heykel&BoฤŸaz/Sculpture & Bosphorus- Virtual Reward

    As others have observed, this is a bit challenging right now owing to the hoardings that have been erected in the way. But like others, I found a gap in the fence through which I was able to photograph the sculpture. TFTC!

  • Dan waves a rainbow bandana in front of a wall painted in multitudinous colours, on a staircase with each step painted a different colour.

    Found GC6JQAX Rainbow Stairs

    Whether or not this piece of art is or was an act of political defiance, it might need to be one once again. Brought my own rainbow so I could be part of it, too. ๐ŸŒˆโœŠ

    Found GC6VTEG Galata Bridge #3

    Found GC892N8 Galata Tower

    My second visit of the day to the tower, has I didn't have a working pen with me on the first. Decided to go all-in on using my working pen by drawing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign... you get the idea.

  • Dan waves from a narrow but busy Istanbul city street.

    Found GC67ZH1 Karakoy Tunel

    QEF after a meeting in a nearby coworking space with some work colleagues from around the globe. A little stealth was required: given what's going on in the city right now, I definitely didn't want to look suspicious to one of the nearby cops! Soon retrieved, signed, and returned the cache. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK!
