  • Dan points to a sign screwed to a tree, which reads 'Shooting in progress today' and 'Please keep out'.

    Did not find GCB476P LOL #4 โ€“ Weightlifting (revived)

    Coordinates seemed solid, hint item seemed clear, but a good feel around didn't reveal anything to me except an alarming sign I had to walk past! (pictured)nnThen a man with kids and a dog came along and we needed to keep moving. Not sure where this could be hidden that I didn't already check!

  • Dan, a dog lead hanging around his neck, crouches alongside his French Bulldog on a trail in a deciduous forest.

    Found GC3PP47 LOL #3 โ€“ Wrestling

    An excellent container in a picturesque spot. FP awarded. The geopup didn't want to come exploring off the path so I had to find this one by myself. SL, TFTC.

  • Wrote note for GC3PP3Q LOL #2 โ€“ Swimming

    Kids playing in the garden overlooking the GZ were watching, so I opted to give this one a miss. Maybe on the way back.

    Found GC3PP1Z LOL #1 - Athletics

    Being between jobs, I decided to offer the geohound a longer then usual walk this morning and clear my head before an application form I need to fill out. We opted for the first leg of this series: let's see how far the little pooch's legs will carry her! Cache found easily, SL, TFTC.

    Did not find GC2WTXD JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Pumping Station

    This checkin to GC2WTXD JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Pumping Station reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Might be here, or quite possibly was shaken loose by last season's trimming and pollarding and it's now who knows where. Too many disappointing DNFs in this series which, coupled with the increasing rain, feels โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC2WTZE JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Forest View reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Huge thanks (and a big thumbs up) to Saintsalive1 for the replacement cache container; what a great hiding spot. Rain is starting, I'd better pick up the pace if I'm going to stay dry. TFTC! โ€ฆ

  • Did not find GC2WTZK JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Oak Gate

    This checkin to GC2WTZK JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Oak Gate reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. As others have observed, container (previously destroyed) is now completely absent. Needs replacement or archiving. Such a lovely area for a series; a shame to have so many spots made unavailable by the 0.1M circles โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC2WV01 JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~Field of Dreams reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Made a search around the hint area but this one is nowhere to be seen. Based on the string of recent DNFs, it's probably gone or else so deeply buried that it'll never be โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC3110V JOIN UP THE NUDDSY'S~I 'OAK' THIS reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Woke early and unrested, grumpy and tired, after staying nearby, and figured a pre-breakfast walk through these fields might nice my mood. Coordinates pointed right to a candidate hiding spot that set my geosense โ€ฆ

  • Dan, seen from below, scrambles up a craggy limestone cliff underneath a hawthorne tree that clings to an overhang.

    Found GC47GDB Kiln Crag - Knipescar

    A bit of an adventure! I first approached this cliffside cache from above, which turned out to be a mistake, but a climb from below was also initially fruitless because the cache had fallen from its hiding place, perhaps some time this winter. Delightful fun.

    Found GC1DH2A Knipe Scar - Haweswater View

    Never one to let a hard day's voluntary work keep me from a geocaching expedition, this afternoon I took a hot brisk walk up the scar to find this (and hopefully next another nearby!) cache. Caught my breath sitting on a rock near the GZ, before pressing on. SL, TNLN, TFTC. FP awarded for such a delightful spot.

    Found GC1DH7W Knipe Scar - On the Edge

    A swift uphill scramble for my friend and fellow volunteer John and I, before dinner. We're staying in a nearby farmhouse for a week if volunteer work, writing software to help charities. Beautiful view from the summit this evening! SL, TNLN, TFTC!

  • Found GC97N3H Lodge Hill C & D

    QEF as a cache-and-dash. This afternoon, owing to Some Plot, I needed to go speak to a lawyer in Abingdon, and rewarded myself on a successful mission by visiting this cache on my way home. TFTC!

    Found GC7B9C6 Heykel&BoฤŸaz/Sculpture & Bosphorus- Virtual Reward

    As others have observed, this is a bit challenging right now owing to the hoardings that have been erected in the way. But like others, I found a gap in the fence through which I was able to photograph the sculpture. TFTC!

  • Dan waves a rainbow bandana in front of a wall painted in multitudinous colours, on a staircase with each step painted a different colour.

    Found GC6JQAX Rainbow Stairs

    Whether or not this piece of art is or was an act of political defiance, it might need to be one once again. Brought my own rainbow so I could be part of it, too. ๐ŸŒˆโœŠ
