Dan Q found GC6VYHH Under The Boardwalk

Power-walking on around the trail we quickly found the clue object. I figured it was worth braving the (high) water and getting below the bridge, so I scrambled down and soon found the cache. Good location!

My mother and I are visiting Ireland (from Lancashire, UK and Oxfordshire, UK, respectively) on a mission to find geohashpoints in previously-unexplored graticules, and find a few carefully-selected geocaches along the way. Today we were our near Kilsheelan, down the Suir Valley, making a successful expedition for the 2024-11-24 52 -7 geohashpoint which turned out to be deep within a forest on the hills over the River Suir. Flushed with success, we had our lunch, visited Cahir Castle (and found its nearest geocache), and then made our way over here to attempt this circuit of caches.

We knew we were starting late and were risking the mercy of the setting sun, but we figured that powerwalking and quick finds might see us through. We parked right next to this first cache, found it (it doesn’t have a logbook, by the way!), retrieved the first number, and marched on. Could we do it? Time would tell!

(FP awarded on behalf of the series, which was excellent)

Dan Q found GC4MDNM Foynes Forest Find

My mother and I are out in the West of Ireland in search of geohashpoints. Today’s attempt to find the 2024-11-22 52 -8 hashpoint was blocked by the river Arra breaking its banks and flooding our route, so instead we did some geocaching in Newcastle West then came up to Foyle to visit the nearby maritime museum and learn about the history of the flying boats.

After leaving the museum we figured we’d come up here for one last cache before the rain really set in. We tried coming at this cache from one path, then another, and eventually after a slippery scramble up a hill we had the cache in hand. SL, TNLN, TFTC, and greetings from Lancashire (my mum) and Oxfordshire (me), UK.

Dan Q found GC9DV9P GST 64 – Lift me up buttercup

This checkin to GC9DV9P GST 64 - Lift me up buttercup reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

We almost gave up trying to find the hint object before spotting something that once had the colour of a buttercup but has since enjoyed some extra camouflage! Retrieving the cache was a bit challenging for my fat hands but my mum managed to help. FP awarded for this more-imaginative hiding place! TFTC.

Very quick find. Spent some time trying to retreive the cache container before deciding that it’s probably supposed to live in its hiding place and instead we just retrieved the logbook! Good hiding place! TFTC.

Second place we looked. Nice easy find. Liking these slightly bigger tubes! TFTC.
