We had to try a couple of candidates in the growing dark before we found the right host, and even then needed to stretch quite a long way to open and close this cache container. But eventually we’d managed.

We were slightly concerned about this one, given the cache description. Wading across a river didn’t sound fun given recent floods: it could be deeper and faster than expected. Fortunately there turns out to be a bridge here now, and doubly-fortunately we were able to find the cache without too much difficulty.
The sun was beginning to set over the horizon; we didn’t have long left to complete the loop…

Some muggles were sitting on the nearby barrier so some stealth was required for us to carefully retrieve and return this one. TFTC.

Sent my mother in to to a variety of holes in boulders to try to find this one before we picked it up and had the cache – and its bonus number – in-hand!

Power-walking on around the trail we quickly found the clue object. I figured it was worth braving the (high) water and getting below the bridge, so I scrambled down and soon found the cache. Good location!

We quickly circled this tree before spotting the right location. Good colour for this cache container. Making a note of the number, we pressed on…

My mother and I are visiting Ireland (from Lancashire, UK and Oxfordshire, UK, respectively) on a mission to find geohashpoints in previously-unexplored graticules, and find a few carefully-selected geocaches along the way. Today we were our near Kilsheelan, down the Suir Valley, making a successful expedition for the 2024-11-24 52 -7 geohashpoint which turned out to be deep within a forest on the hills over the River Suir. Flushed with success, we had our lunch, visited Cahir Castle (and found its nearest geocache), and then made our way over here to attempt this circuit of caches.
We knew we were starting late and were risking the mercy of the setting sun, but we figured that powerwalking and quick finds might see us through. We parked right next to this first cache, found it (it doesn’t have a logbook, by the way!), retrieved the first number, and marched on. Could we do it? Time would tell!
(FP awarded on behalf of the series, which was excellent)

QEF for my mum and I on our way from this graticule’s hashpoint (after a successful geohashing expedition) to visit the castle. Logbook very full, will soon need replacing. TFTC.

My mother and I are out in the West of Ireland in search of geohashpoints. Today’s attempt to find the 2024-11-22 52 -8 hashpoint was blocked by the river Arra breaking its banks and flooding our route, so instead we did some geocaching in Newcastle West then came up to Foyle to visit the nearby maritime museum and learn about the history of the flying boats.
After leaving the museum we figured we’d come up here for one last cache before the rain really set in. We tried coming at this cache from one path, then another, and eventually after a slippery scramble up a hill we had the cache in hand. SL, TNLN, TFTC, and greetings from Lancashire (my mum) and Oxfordshire (me), UK.

Recent winds have blown down trees here but thankfully not this one. My mum stretched to reach the hiding place and soon had the cache in hand.

We almost gave up trying to find the hint object before spotting something that once had the colour of a buttercup but has since enjoyed some extra camouflage! Retrieving the cache was a bit challenging for my fat hands but my mum managed to help. FP awarded for this more-imaginative hiding place! TFTC.

We’re moderately confident we know what we’d be looking for and where, but we didn’t find it here. 😕
This checkin to GC9DV9F GST 62 - Ashgrove reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Another speedy find for my nimble-fingered mother. Lid missing from cache and log very wet; barely signable and at risk of disintegration. TFTC.
This checkin to GC9DV9E GST 61 - Cow shit reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
My mother kindly volunteered to be the one to put her fingers up a cow’s bottom… I mean… to find and retreive the cache at this location! TFTC!
This checkin to GC9DV6A GST 60 - Squeezed into fence reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Very quick find. Spent some time trying to retreive the cache container before deciding that it’s probably supposed to live in its hiding place and instead we just retrieved the logbook! Good hiding place! TFTC.
