Tag: dog

  • A French bulldog pants as she looks over the egde of a bridge, high above a river.

    Found GC8B4J5 Rainbow Bridge

    Our taeget cache got the geopup and I: I've coated under this bridge, I think, but never found an excuse to go over it into today. The doggo is running out of steam and the afternoon looks likely to be too hot for her, but we'll make a quick run at one of the new Nortmoor Loop series before we turn back. Might even score a FTF!

  • A white man with a blue ponytail and a goatee beard sits with a French bulldog alongside a wide, calm river.

    Found GCBB3J9 Appleton Wharf

    What a beautiful spot for a geocache, which the geopup and I quickly found in the second host we checked. Then, we enjoyed a delightful few minutes of peace, sitting on the riverbank, before continuing our morning's adventure.

  • Did not find GCBBDDV To The Thames

    The geohound wouldn't let me search as long as I'd have liked, and my GPS must've been off because I couldn't really find anything that matched the hint description. One for another day, perhaps.

  • A French Bulldog snoops around a stone-lined spring.

    Found GC8JWW9 Aslan's Spring

    The geopup tested the waters while I retrieved the cache. What a wonderful spring on a delightful footpath! TFTC, and FP for the wonderful location and proper-sized cache container.

    QEF for the geohound and I on a walk around Appleton this morning. Excellent container with a fantastic hint, FP awarded. TFTC!

  • Image representing post: The Commute (Chicory House Edition)

    My "commute" since moving to the Chicory House isn't much longer than it is at our regular home, but it does involve going outside. Want to see?

  • The dog is concerned. Why, despite all her warnings, am I still letting these men take all of our (surviving) furniture?

  • It's my final day in the cute garden office of the AirBnB we're living in, this week, and every time I step through the door I catch a glimpse of our small, sandy-coloured dog squatting in the garden.

    Except the dog isn't even here. My brain keeps getting tricked...  by this statue of a pig:

    Found GC1FNVT SideTracked - Kingham

    Found successfully on an Easter morning dog walk from Bledington. The geopup and I came out across the fields, trying to get outdoors early before the rain that's forecast for later in the day. Careful patience, logical elimination, and a determination not to give up were the keys, here.

    Found GC1ZEKG Church Micro 2809 - Bledington

    QEF for the geohound and I as we came out for a walk from the house we're borrowing this week - the latest of many AirBnB-like week-long lets we've had to decamp to after our house was rendered uninhabitable by a flash flood around fifty days ago. Hopefully the last, though, as the insurance company may at last have found us sonewhere to live longer-term while our house is repaired!

  • Found GC79ZK3 Wootton Word Wall

    This morning, the younger geokid and I came out for a walk with the geopup. After a little difficulty getting a GPSr fix we eventuality found a good-looking host, and after a few laps we had the well-camouflaged container in our hands. A good sized, well maintained container and an interesting puzzle, even if the way we solved it might be considered by some to have been cheating!

  • It's F-Day plus 35, and I'm spending a few hours working in the habitable part of our flood-damaged house while I'm "between" two AirBnBs.

    The dog, who doesn't normally get to come upstairs, is sitting with me on the landing. Except she also wants to keep an eye on what's happening downstairs.

    The result? Her back legs are sitting and her front legs are standing as she peers blepfully down the stairs.

    Full image of A champagne-coloured French Bulldog wearing a teal harness is on the top step of a cream-carpeted staircase. Her hind legs are folded so her bottom sits on the top step, but her forelegs are extended so she's standing on the one below. Her tongue is out in a full blep.

  • Wrote note for GCADCWF Treasure island

    I first found this cache last summer while cycling a circuitous route from Witney to Stanton Harcourt. I happened to be walking the dog nearby, this morning, and so I figured I'd check up on it. The outer container continues to deteriorate and could do with some TLC, but otherwise this cache looks to be okay.

Coming across from Finstock via R'n'R #9 (we're absolutely doing this series in the wrong order!), the geokid, geopup and I made a poor choice by hugging the tree line rather than cutting out of the โ€ฆ
