    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.

    Found GC8X88R Crawley to Minster Loop - #12 Zosma

    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. Logbook is very full; …

The dog's walk needed extending to make sure she's well worn-out and not too-excited for some guests we're having over this evening, so she and I came and parked on Dry Lane (ironically-named, …

  • Did not find GC1PYFN Parque Taoro

    Ruth and I made several attempts today without success: a muggle was sat nearby in such a way that access to the GZ was obstructed. We took a walk to the nearby Anglican church - whose architecture, if you ignore the volcanic rock, is uncannily like that of Anglican churches in the UK - but then we returned the muggle had very much set up camp and was going nowhere. We attempted to find a way to the cache from the opposite side without luck, and eventually had to give up. πŸ˜”

    Found GC9MCDM The Queen Of Mystery

    After solving the riddle yesterday, my partner Ruth and I came up from the seafront to find this cache today. What a delightful spot to hide the cache, and what a wonderful puzzle (and spot of local literary history) with which to bring us here.

    Found GC9PVXZ EL CRÁTER DE LA RAMBLETA

    My partner Ruth and I were disappointed not to be able to hike any of the trails up here today - they're all closed - but enjoyed finding both the nearby Virtual and this Earthcache geocaches. The evidence of lava flows (that remain to this day!) are really quite impressive.

    Found GC8YPVJ Finn1
