  • A champagne-coloured French Bulldog wearing a harness at the end of a read lead trots happily along a dirt path.

    Found GC3PP1Z LOL #1 - Athletics

    Being between jobs, I decided to offer the geohound a longer then usual walk this morning and clear my head before an application form I need to fill out. We opted for the first leg of this series: let's see how far the little pooch's legs will carry her! Cache found easily, SL, TFTC.

  • It wasn't until I made time for myself to get out into the countryside near my home and take the dog for a walk that I realised how much stress I'd been putting myself under during my team meetup, this week.

    Istanbul was enjoyable and fascinating, and I love my team, but I always forget until after the fact how much a few days worth of city crowds can make me feel anxious and trapped.

    It's good to get a mile or two from the nearest other human and decompress!

    Found GCAP4MF Church Micro 15127...Curbridge

    I had an errand to run in the Windrush Place estate on the other side of the A40, and the geopup needed a walk, so I opted to park the car over in Witney so my four-legged friend and I could walk the remaining way over to Curbridge and find this cache.

  • A French Bulldog looks-on guiltily at a hand holding the remains of a pair of slippers that have been thoroughly shredded.

    Work Slippers

    Last month, the dog ate my slippers, and in the week it took me to replace them my work productivity took a dip. Coincidence? Nope! They were my 'work slippers', and it turns out I needed them!

  • Wrote note for GC9EXX4 Friar's Farm - Bisected Byway

    Checked up on this cache while the dog and I were nearby. It's in fine condition and ready to find. The latch for the container is beginning to rust, but the whole thing is perfectly serviceable. Go find it!

  • Yesterday, owing to some plot, the dog didn't get as much outside/walk/play time as she'd like.

    Today, she let me know how she felt about that by shredding my slippers. ๐Ÿ™„

  • A lunchtime dog walk was made especially delightful by the growing warmth of the approaching British springtime. It's really bright and pretty out, this afternoon!

    Full image of A French Bulldog in a harness but no lead stands in front of a empty field, under bright blue skies with sparse clouds. Bare wintery trees can be seen in the background, bathed in warm yellow light.

  • Compared to the children, the dog is Not So Impressed by the deep snowfall we've just received. To be fair, it's basically up to get armpits!

    (leg-pits? I don't know what the right word is for a canine!)
