Found with fleeblewidget on the first day of our narrowboating holiday (riding Nerys out of Cambrian Cruisers). We spent the night moored up just a little further North-East of the cache, overlooking a broad and beautiful valley to the South. TFTC.

Harder than I might have expected to navigate my way around the winding paths and alleyways surrounding this courtyard – I found myself within 10 metres of the cache at one point, but on the wrong side of a fence and hedge, and had to walk all the way around the block before I found my way in!
Cache is overlooked by lots of houses, so a great deal of care was required so as not to attract the attention of muggles. Thankfully I’d come early on a Sunday morning, before most folks were up (I’d woken earlier than my colleagues at the conference centre where I’d spent the weekend, and thought I’d hit a local cache before breakfast).
Found it in the end, though: hurrah! Pencil’s looking a little blunt, and I didn’t have a sharpener, but managed to sign the log despite this. TFTC!

Went up the PYG track this weekend with the TransAid team, raising money in memory of my father (who was killed when he fell from a cliff last year, while in training for a sponsored trip to the North Pole). Whlie the stragglers made their way up to the summit, I whipped out my GPSr and found this wonderful little cache (pretty sure it wasn’t here when I last came up Snowdon, in early 2006).
A glorious day, marred only by the ludicrous number of walkers that had come out to make the most of it – the top was heaving with people!
Didn’t have a pen with me, and there wasn’t one in the cache. I’ve taken a photo of myself holding the cache (which I’ll provide on-demand, but in order not to spoil the cache for others I’ve not included it: instead see attached a photo of my group at the summit – I’m the guy at the front with his arms out; I’ve just run up from where the cache is in order to get into the picture at the last second!).

Hacked through the (enormous) nettles to get close to the oak tree; also tried the obvious places (based on the hint) nearby, but no luck this afternoon. :-(

Last cache of the day for tajasel and I. Ironically, we’d brought our bikes with us but had to leave them on the other side of Radley Wood, after we’d gotten bogged down in mud, and had to go back for them AFTER signing the log of the “on yer bike” cache. Of all the people wearing cycle helmets to visit “on yer bike”, tajasel is probably the first such person to not actually be on a bike!

Took an expedition today with tajasel; this was our first find on this glorious sunny day. TFTC.

Off for an afternoon’s caching with tajasel, we decided on a whim against our plan to go down the Thames Path and instead found ourselves further West, in Radley Wood. We spotted this cache listing, and thought we’d give it a go… and we’re really glad we did! A fantastic cache with a wonderful puzzle theme; the “decoder” is a wonderful idea; I really love it. Thanks for a great cache!

Found while on a nice little caching walk with tajasel. First to sign what looks like a new logbook! Thanks.

Seemed pretty clear where the cache ought to be, but I couldn’t find this one. It’s possible that if I’d had more time (people kept walking their dogs by me and I had to stop the search) I’d have found it, but it seems more likely, given recent logs, that it’s gone. :(

Found without difficulty while on my lunch break. Great little container! TFTC!

Found while on my lunch break. Took a bit of stealth to avoid all of the foot-traffic, and I spent some time looking in the wrong place entirely. TFTC!
This checkin to GCRQ9W Three Counties View reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
No luck. Had a great GPSr fix, and found two places that I thought would be perfect cache hiding places, but one was empty, and the other was full of the litter of some inconsiderate barbequers: I wonder if the latter used to be the location of this cache, and that it was destroyed by these litterbugs when they left their plastic cups, plates, and burnt-out disposable barbeque there?
I wasn’t carrying so much as a backpack, or I’d have done a litter-pick. Makes me sad to see such a beautiful landscape being destroyed by folks who won’t take their rubbish home with them.

I don’t know what chrisabarker is talking about: it was a little blustery, but wonderful weather for a quick job up Sugar Loaf Hill! I went up on the morning, as I woke up earlier than the folks I was training during an away weekend for a voluntary organisation I’m part of, and loved finding this wonderful cache (and in such a beautiful area!). TFTC.
This checkin to GLB6RP12 Not much room? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
My 100th cache find turned out to be also my most-Southerly find so far, and also turned out to be a most-spectacular little hiding place. After walking up and down the path a bit with fleeblewidget and her mother, while our GPSrs got their bearings, we managed to pinpoint the location almost exactly, but we were still clueless. Eventually, it was fleeblewidget‘s mother – completely new to caching – who decided to investigate what turned out to be exactly what we were looking for! A most-wonderful cache; thanks!
Log full, unable to sign.

Coming up having just found Not Much Room, we didn’t think to continue along the footpath and instead took the road, leading to a long double-back: whoops! Found the viewpoint easily (although recent tree growth has somewhat blocked the view), and – soon afterwards – the cache. Took a copy of the address of the Carstens in Nindorf to send them a postcard, and signed the log. TFTC.
