I'm leaving Ireland a day late, from the wrong airport, and with one fewer functioning arm than I anticipated. It's been quite the ride. I'll be glad to get home.
Alt
Dan sits in an airport bar drinking a beer held in his right hand. His left arm is in a sling.
(for those that are concerned: I've damaged my shoulder, possibly while slipping down a hill in search of a geocache or geohashpoint; so, y'know, the usual reason I get injured... but I've got some physio instructions I'm supposed to follow, and I'll be okay)

Found GC9QNY4 NFCache
This checkin to GC9QNY4 NFCache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Despite having been hidden as recently as 2022, this "feels" like an old-school cache. A non-trivial offset, a real scramble through the terrain to find it, and a generous-sized container at the other end. Back around 2010 many more …

It's been a long day of driving around Ireland, scrambling through forests, navigating to a hashpoint, exploring a medieval castle, dodging the rain, finding a series of geocaches, getting lost up a hill in the dark, and generally having a kickass time with one of my very favourite people on this earth: my mum.
And now it's time for a long soak in a hot bath with a pint of the black stuff and my RSS reader for company. A perfect finish.
Alt
A pint of Guinness alongside a can, on a tiled bathroom shelf.
