Found GC8Z1F6 Church Micro 13672...Great Bourton ⛪️
This checkin to GC8Z1F6 Church Micro 13672...Great Bourton ⛪️ reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My family and I have made a tradition of our regular attendance of Fairport's Cropredy Convention. There I - being the earliest riser of us - have in turn made a tradition of getting up …

Found GC94GEM Brize Adventure
QEF (once we started paying attention to the right host object!) for the geopup and I on a morning dog walk after an errand in the village. TFTC, now better get off to work!

Wrote note for GCB8W6H In Memory
Checked-in on this cache as it's had surprisingly-few visits yet. Reassured to find that it's all still in place and findable. Second-to-find's still up for grabs.

Found GCA6CCW Purple door
This checkin to GCA6CCW Purple door reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. It's possible that cycling this path wasn't the wisest idea, I realised, as I dodged brambles on both sides. So focused was I on riding safely that I forgot which GPSr I'd brought with me and listening for …

Found GCADCWF Treasure island
After an appointment in Witney I opted to divert my cycle home to find this and the other cache on the same path.

Sometimes all you need to complete the perfect offset geocache is a GPSr, some hand tools... and the willingness to unilaterally declare a remote bench to be a memorial to a fictional person, just to get a particular set of numbers out into the world!

Dan, a white man with a beard and long, blue-tinted hair, sits sideways on a wooden bench behind which overgrown tree planting can be seen. On the back of the bench is perched a handheld GPS receiver, and in Dan's hand is a small screwdriver and a hand drill. The bench has a plaque attached (parts of which have been censored for the photo), which reads: In memory of George Oscar Cacher who spent ... years exploring the world. Died aged ..., ... July ....

Did not find GC81KDC Standardisation Roundabout
This checkin to GC81KDC Standardisation Roundabout reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Deciphered this puzzle when it was first published: so long ago that I'd forgotten the specifics of how exactly I did so (although I'm pretty confident I remember the gist of it). But I don't find myself over …

Found GC7ZA2Z My Friend Dotty
This checkin to GC7ZA2Z My Friend Dotty reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. In Marston on an errand, I found myself with enough free time to try to find another few local caches. This puzzle wasn't as easy as Dotty's other one, fir me, because for a while I was …

Found GCAPFH3 Cherry Blossom
Third time's the charm. I don't live too far away and I'm often found cycling to, from, or through Eynsham. As a result, I've on two previous occasions come to this GZ with a view to finding this cache... and both times have been glorious summer weekend days when the adjacent café has been brim full of guests, and I've declared it "too muggley" and backed off.
Today, though, is a gloomy and overcast day, with rain on the way and a threat of thunderstorms. So as I cycled by, on my way home from the dentist, I stopped by. I quickly found and retrieved the cache, signed the log, and returned it to its spot.
Now I'd better see if I can pedal all the way home before the clouds burst! TFTC. -
Did not find GC74Z2R Metal bridge cache
Stopped by while cycling back from Witney. Made a moderately thorough search above and below the titular bridge, without success. Might benefit from a checkin/note from the CO.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, or else maybe it's vanished in the six months since its last successful find. Great place for a cache, though! -
Found GCAWNQH Light me up
This checkin to GCAWNQH Light me up reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF while cycling into Witney for an appointment. Cache lid is absent (missing?): risk of becoming waterlogged later in the year, I suspect. TFTC.
AltDan, with his bike, throws a thumbs-up sign. -
Did not find GC9M1WJ Village Hall series 1179 - Mortimer Hall Marston
Had to give up on this one for now. Found the plaque without difficulty and soon had a believable set of coordinates (though I briefly struggled with what was meant by the D & E description). Soon I was at the GZ and, after a brief hunt through the multitude of possible hosts, tried the hint. No use, though: I'm no wiser what I should be looking for. Sadly this is only a flying visit to Marston and I've got to go wrangle the kids now, but maybe I'll revisit next time I'm in the area.

Found GC9GJZH Dotty writes letters
I'm in Marston on an errand and figured I'd pick up a couple of local caches that weren't around when I was last in the vicinity: which I guess was way back when I lived near here! The puzzle didn't leave me stumped for long, but I always used to score highly at Dotty's kind of game! TFTC.

Found GC9GEC1 Church Micro 14176...Old Marston
A quick and easy offset church micro if ever I saw one. I'll tell you what, I totally approve of this form of formula - this letter is this number plus or minus something, ten just string them all together - rather than the more-common algebraic backflips one sometimes has to do. SL, TFTC!
