    Found GCAABMJ North Leigh Loop #2

    This checkin to GCAABMJ North Leigh Loop #2 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Clearly I've trained the geohound well, because she found the geotrail out to this GZ before I did!

    This checkin to GCB1N17 Square root of E/m reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF for the geohound and I. My GPSr can't connect to the Internet and I'm not retyping a URL into my phone so I can't comment on the hint, but the cache itself is fine. SL, โ€ฆ

  • Wrote note for GC9EXXC Shady Seat on The Green

    Spring's coming, and with it a stack of cachers either new or else returning from hibernation. Therefore; I'm briefly checking-in on my geocaches to ensure they're in good condition. Today I peeped at this one, and found it happy and well and ready to be hunted. Go find it!

    Found GCBAJC3 Cache me if you can, Jeremy

    Despite being relatively 'local' - only half a mile away, and fans of the show - it took until this morning before the family and I actually came to up visit Clarkson's Farm.

    Found GC3PQ4P LOL #14 - Taekwondo

    Unbelievably muddy today Took me so long to pick my way along the boggy path (pictured) that this'll probably be my only cache of the day. Still, one more for my LOL collection!

    Fake Herons

    This morning, I saw a real heron and a fake heron, and it made me think of a police officer I photographed myself while geocaching with a few years ago. Let's talk theoretical psychology!

    Found GCAWR04 Take an Allotment Break

    The family and I are staying in Lyneham for a couple of weeks following the flooding of our house (on the other side of Witney). This morning the younger geokid, the geopup, and I came out for a walk to find this geocache as well as to explore Milton-under-Wychwood and tag some of the memorial benches for OpenBenches. We sat near the cache and the geokid immediately found it. Looks like we're the second signatories of the New Year: somebody beat us to it on 5 Feb! TFTC.

    This checkin to GC8X88R Crawley to Minster Loop - #12 Zosma reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Walking backwards and forwards past the GZ eventually enabled the geopup and I to spot this very-visible but high-up cache. Soon it was retrieved, the log signed, and returned.
