Found GC84F1A Manchester Central Library
What a truly spectacular cache. FP awarded, without hesitation. I've seen a similar kind in a library before but never with such depth, such a story, so voluminous a container, nor - let's be honest - so beautiful a building!

Found GC66Z2H Yesterday, When I Was Mad
With an hour and a bit before my train departs I figured I'd hit up a few caches before leaving Manchester this morning. This was the first.

Found GC5C8N2 Church Micro 6331...Manchester - St Ann's
I'm in Manchester for the day for a social gathering related to a variety of the volunteering activities I've been involved with over the last, OMG-I'm-so-old, 26 years or so. After my train arrived I meandered via OK04B5 (nice to see the OC community alive and well here in Manchester!) to find myself some lunch, then dropped by this cache on my way to our event venue.

Found OK04B5 The Beacon of Hope
I'm in Manchester for a volunteering-adjacent social event and, not often seeing OpenCaches pop up on my radar, visited this spot on my way from the station to the venue. So beautiful to see Manchester acknowledge its part in queer history, and a beautiful memorial to everybody who has died as a result of the AIDS pandemic. TFTC!

Found GCB61CG The witney way
This checkin to GCB61CG The witney way reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Came out to the park around the corner, and while the kids played in the play area the dog and I wandered down the lane to find this QEF. TFTC!

Found GCA2025 Where's 25? - Locationless Cache
Happy 25th birthday, geocaching.
I'm spending the weekend volunteering for a nonprofit I founded (it's almost as old as geocaching, at 23). We're staying in a hotel at N 52° 36.184' W 001° 53.869'. I've also gotten out to find a couple of local geocaches. -
Found GC7H5M9 Hedge your bets
This checkin to GC7H5M9 Hedge your bets reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found following a short hunt and a brief rummage after walking up the nearby footpath, with the help of a previous log which talked about crossing a fence (which I didn't need to do, having come up …

Found GC9QD6R Centurion
Woke early, as usual, for the first day of a weekend of volunteering, while staying at nearby Fairlawns. I've already tapped out the most-local caches to that hotel on previous stays, so for this morning's walk I came further afield to find this (and one of the two puzzle caches not too far away; that's next, hopefully!)

Found GC5FGMC R65: Hazelborough 1: Abby's woofday cache
This checkin to GC5FGMC R65: Hazelborough 1: Abby's woofday cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after a brief hunt with the help of a boy and his dog. Definitely needed the hint! TFTC!

Found GC9KWV4 Hazelborough trail
This checkin to GC9KWV4 Hazelborough trail reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after an extended hunt with the younger child.

Found GCAR5HV Ivy
This checkin to GCAR5HV Ivy reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The (long) log for Mossy describes the adventure to this geocache, too. Go read about it there.

Found GCB61ZC Mossy
This checkin to GCB61ZC Mossy reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Saw GCB61ZC "Mossy" appear yesterday, but I'd already had an Easter Sunday beer or two and couldn't drive out here... in fact, I realised, I probably wasn't in a state to cycle out here either and so I resolved …

Found GC3PP3Q LOL #2 – Swimming
Second time lucky! As the pup and I approached the GZ we found a strange handwritten more on the ground, and, having not seen it on the way up, figured that it must belong to a woman we'd passed a little while ago. So we doubled back and returned it to her - turns out it was her shopping list - and chatted about tree beautiful bluebells (which is what she'd come out to see) before parting ways and returning to this cache.

Found GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived)
This checkin to GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Success on the second attempt. The geohound "guarded" the buggy-trapping ruts while I searched three different hosts before finding the container. TFTC!

Wrote note for GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived)
I let the man with the kids and the dog ahead of me so I'd be able to mount searches without having to stop and separate dogs, but I caught up with him literally at this cache! His buggy (which carried two of the kids - the third was strapped to his chest) had gotten stuck in a rut and he was busy extracting it.
