Found GC6VTEG Galata Bridge #3
After lunch with my work team in a delightful restaurant overlooking the bridge I decided to take a diversion on the route back to our coworking space to come and find this geocache, my most-Easterly yet.

Thanks to finding a couple of geocaches here in Istanbul, my geocaching "2D convex hull" (the smallest possible convex polygon that covers an area), which I wrote some code to draw last year, just expanded a little further to the East. ๐
Alt
World map, with an irregular near-quadrilatral drawn such that it approximately connects Inverness (Scotland), Istanbul (Turkey), Cape Town (South Africa), and San Francisco (California, USA), encompassing the area within.
I've got a lot of the world left still to encircle, but I'm slowly extending my reach...

Found GC892N8 Galata Tower
My second visit of the day to the tower, has I didn't have a working pen with me on the first. Decided to go all-in on using my working pen by drawing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign, showing myself holding a sign... you get the idea.

Found GC67ZH1 Karakoy Tunel
QEF after a meeting in a nearby coworking space with some work colleagues from around the globe. A little stealth was required: given what's going on in the city right now, I definitely didn't want to look suspicious to one of the nearby cops! Soon retrieved, signed, and returned the cache. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK!

Found GCAP4MF Church Micro 15127...Curbridge
I had an errand to run in the Windrush Place estate on the other side of the A40, and the geopup needed a walk, so I opted to park the car over in Witney so my four-legged friend and I could walk the remaining way over to Curbridge and find this cache.

Did not attempt GC3KQKM RRR12 2nd tree downstream
This checkin to GC3KQKM RRR12 2nd tree downstream reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Did not attempt to find, today: an angler was sitting almost right at the GZ, enjoying the peace and quiet that my geokid would have quickly disrupted! So we moved on...

This checkin to GC4B6QJ RRR 13 Not that Alder - incy wincy! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No luck here for the geokid and I. He speculates that perhaps "down came the rain and washed the container out."

Wrote note for GC9EXX4 Friar's Farm - Bisected Byway
Checked up on this cache while the dog and I were nearby. It's in fine condition and ready to find. The latch for the container is beginning to rust, but the whole thing is perfectly serviceable. Go find it!
