  • Annotated photo of Dan, a white man with blue hair, on a brackeney Lake District hillside, with arrows in the background identifying the location of 'fleeblewidget' and 'the kids'.

    Found GC2BJTQ Noah's Cache

    Came out for a walk with my Ruth and the kids. While Ruth sat on a rock and the kids went with their uncle up to explore a small cave above, I broke from the path to find this cache. QEF in the second host I looked at.

    Wrote note for GC88ZY9 The Devil's Quoits

    A local landowner has (controversially) decided to start enforcing their ownership of the land surrounding the lake at Dix Pit, and has erected new fences and private property signs to deter trespassers. So this evening, the geopup and I took a walk to the GZ to check that it's still an achievable find.

    Found GC76AG3 Hauta - Tomb

    Found after an embarrassingly long hunt! After reading the hint I quickly spotted the correct hiding spot, but said to myself "no, it surely can't be there" and moved on. Only on my third time walking past it did I think to actually try it, and sure enough, there it was! SL, TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK!

    Found GCBBVQN Magic of Lapland

    It's the final morning of my short visit to Sirkka. Having 90 minutes until I need to set off for the airport, I decided to come out for a quick geocaching expedition first. This was the first cache on my list, and I was so glad to choose it. A truly beautiful and well-maintained cache in a wonderful spot. FP awarded. TFTC!

  • Jonah's Oak; a large and well-kept oak tree in the middle of a hedgerow, with plaques on and around it, with festival workings in the background.

    Found GCAJH34 Jonah's Oak

    This checkin to GCAJH34 Jonah's Oak reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My little tribe and I have, in some form of another, been attending Cropredy for decades: intermittently in the past, but lately with more regularity every year. For me, it's coincided with the growth of our family: I've …
