  • Clue 4 of Challenge Robin II

    Robin's found the fourth clue (and a devious puzzle box) in #challengerobin 2. Now can he make it to the accomodation or must I drink all the beer by myself? https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-cudden

  • Robin's route out of Penzance.

    #challengerobin Robin's making slower progress up-hill now as he tries to find a mystery box identified only by its distance, like #geocaching with one eye tied behind your back, I guess. https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-turnpike

  • Robin makes the crossing.

    Sprinting along the coast, Robin threw himself into #challengerobin and made it to St. Michael's Mount and back before the causeway was consumed by the waves. His next challenge? Find a secret location knowing only its real-time distance from him: https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-longrock

    Robin made it to Penzance and #challengerobin can continue! Receiving his first, well second, clue, he's racing the tide to St. Michael's Mount and across the causeway. Can he make it? https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-station

    After a series of setbacks, I'm determined to enable #challengerobin to continue. I'm off to meet Robin off his train and get him on-track, skipping the first clue. And his brother Owen's joining in, too... https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-plan

  • #challengerobin hit a disaster early on: Robin was to find sleeper train tickets in a puzzle box, but a growing storm (see pic) has caused the train to be cancelled. What now? https://danq.me/2018/11/09/challenge-robin-2/#waypoint-disaster

  • Found GCGNNT We Would Like To Thank...

    This checkin to GCGNNT We Would Like To Thank... reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. In hindsight, visiting this cache might have been a mistake as a storm was beginning to roll in, but I got there before things got TOO hairy! I was in the vicinity preparing an adventure-trail โ€ฆ
