A reasonably easy find – GPSr was off my a few metres but I thought to myself, “well I know where I’D hide it…”, and sure enough there it was. Took a while to stealthily re-hide as for a while I was being watched with curiosity both by a shirtless gentleman on a balcony and by three skateboarding kids; managed in the end, though. TFTC.

An appropriate difficulty level for this hard-to-find cache! I spent some time hunting on the wrong side of the path before I checked the hint, then EVEN LONGER searching afterwards! TFTC!

Another awesome hiding spot. Lucky me had a hunch about where it was, though, and I got lucky!

I’ve been working my way through the Boundary Brook series from North to South by bicycle, this evening, and while I’ve struggled a little to get my bike through the various obstacles so far, it was only at this cache that I realised that bringing my bike might have been a mistake. Was it the marsh I got bogged down in or the fallen tree I had to circumnavigate? I don’t know. But by the time I got to this cache, I was exhausted from pushing and carrying my heavy, muddy, designed-for-roads vehicle!

Nice spot for a walk, but it looks like the hiding spot gets used as a litter bin sometimes. :-(

After some searching (and much nettle-flattening), found. TFTC.

There’s nothing I love more than a well-placed geocache that teaches you since fascinating local history. Love it.

Cache waterlogged, but log itself okay (for now). Needs some paper towel and some airing or, I think.

TFTC!

Beautiful spot for a wonderful cache. Bit hard to get my bike down here, but well worth the journey! TFTC!

Can’t believe it took me so long to get around to finding this one, given that the starting point is just around the corner from my work. Had my suspicions about the final location after a friend of mine had a cache of hers, near that point, rejected earlier this year. Thanks for the cache and the delightful reminder of Oxford’s history.

An easy find, although I had to stand around a bit as lots of muggles passed before I could hide it again. Log close to completely full and rubber seal on cache starting to degrade; might enjoy some TLC. TFTC!

Urgently needs a new lid (or ideally a new container). Hiding place has something quite gross in it, suggest not putting it back in quite the same place (also: be careful about putting your hands in there…)

Been meaning to find this one for ages! Finally found the time this lunch break. Log very full, needs replacement. TFTC!

Congratulations to mbtkz on FTF (haven’t seen your logs on the other four yet, but I assume that you wanted to get this one onto the site promptly so that other knew you’d made it!). Well done!

Thanks, Sapphirites (and congratulations on the FTF!): I’ve updated the puzzle sheet so that it recommends ensuring that the “fit to page” box is not ticked, and I’ll send you a message containing the number that you should have seen when you visited this cache. Happy hunting!

The following log was originally posted elsewhere:

After my visit the other day, I went home, read some of the logs, and thought about this cache. Boards? Boards are something that people worry about when they’re not Batman. A cache that’s placed in the middle of dead space? That’s not a problem Batman would have. I can be Batman, sure. I AM BATMAN!

So today, I finished work, changed into a set of loose clothing (that I could comfortably climb in and wouldn’t mind having to swim in if I had to), rallied my coworker and fellow ‘cacher kateevery to act as my eyes-on-land – and my photographer – and set out to the bridge.

The boards on the side I opted to start my expedition from were a little more-troublesome – stretching farther out over the water – than the one I’d taken on before, but that hardly mattered: today, I was Batman. A grab and a leap, and I was on the other side. Next came the tough bit – the crossing: no Bat-Belt; no Batarang… but I still had my pure Batmanosity. Leaping up and bracing myself against the beams, I began shuffling across. Just as I began to tire, kateevery – my very own Robin – called out, “just four more steps”, exactly the motivation I needed to complete my crossing and grab the cache.

Totally great location. Totally Batman expedition. Totally adding this cache to my favourites.

EDIT: I’ve now written a blog post about the experience – http://www.scatmania.org/2014/05/18/batman-geocaching/
