Fanatic cache and a wonderfully fun puzzle. Was unclear to begin which bit of the numbers I should have been using, but a little trial and error sussed it. TNLN, TFTC!
(I did keep worrying that I could be seen from a nearby flock of bats, so I took care as I rustled around in the cache’s nosey little cook)

Stopped by on my way back from lunch. Thankfully this morning’s foul weather has kept the tourists away, so I didn’t have to contend with too many muggles as I undertook my brief search. Thanks!

Found with fleeblewidget and her baby after a trip to the Arboretum. Great work with a clever (if easy!) hiding place: I’m gonna learn from that. Saw some motorcyclists, but none of them stopped, but as we drove away (after picking up the car from across the road) we saw two other cachers hunting for it. We waved from the car but I’m not sure if they heard/understood what I was saying! TFTC

Found with fleeblewidget and her baby after a trip to the Arboretum. Lovely day for it! Spent did tune looking in the wrong place, but as soon as we switched to the other side of the path we found the cache very easily. TFTC.

After an extended search, it was my partner fleeblewidget who, despite being encumbered by the baby-carrier harness, first spotted this well-concealed little cache. Feels like the difficulty should be 2 stars to me, but maybe I’m just going soft. TFTC.

Nice cache! Dropped off a Scottish travel bug and picked up the hiker.

Out for a walk with fleeblewidget and her baby, took a look for this cache on the way past. Nice little cache! Took the Scottish Football 2 travel bug; see if I can find it a new home somewhere…

After lunch in the pub on the other side, came over to hunt for this. Search was expedited by another geocacher walking by and saying “you’re getting warm…”
Nice cache. Thanks!

Found this while out for a walk. Coordinates looked to be 14-17 metres out, but the hint made all the difference. TFTC.

Muggles kept wandering past and hampering my search (which was already slowed down by the fact that I didn’t “get” the hint; ah well!). Ran out of time on my lunchbreak: I’ll have to come back another time.

What a shame for this, one of the best caches in Oxford, to disappear. CotswoldOx: if you’re not planning on replacing it, I wonder if you wouldn’t mind if I did so instead? Drop me a message.

Hunted as well as I was willing to, without putting my hands into anything particularly disgusting in the improvised toilet that is this GZ. :-( No luck, though: perhaps I’m not looking in the right place, or perhaps it’s somewhere that I wasn’t happy to put my fingers…
This checkin to GLDWG38D Dogfort v Catfort - Dogfort Scientist reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Let battle commence! My first Dogfort vs. Catfort find, but hopefully not my last.
Great location, but took me a while to get the cache out of it’s hiding place – perhaps I’ve not got the dexterity that I used to have!

Basically next door to where I work, so stepped out for a quick lunchtime expedition. Easy enough find, but some stealth was required: muggles everywhere!

My last hunt of the day, as it started to get dark and my GPSr’s battery finally died and it made a sad noise and fell asleep. The hint only told me what I already knew: my signal had been spot on! But that didn’t help me find the cache. I wondered if it might have been too high for me to see, or reach, so I climbed a tree (haven’t done that in a while!) and looked down at where I suspected it might be, but no luck. Searched a lot of places, but eventually had to give up.
Wonderful location, though: I’ll certainly be coming back for another hunt.
