    Performed maintenance for GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge

    This checkin to GC8W7QW Forgotten Bridge reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Took a late hike out here for a maintenance checkup before winter: make sure the waterproof seal is good etc. Really creepy to walk out here alone in the night fog, silent except for the occasional startling loud โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC54MFQ (Mac)Donald Where's Your Troosers? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Staying at the nearby hotel I came out last night to try and find this but quickly gave up rather than poke around in the gloomy night. I'd brought a torch for exactly this kind of โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC9GKJA A Fine Pair # 1625 ~ Eynsham reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Dropped by for a maintenance visit. All is well except for a discrepancy between the paper and online logs, which I'm following up with the cachers in question.

    Update: I've verified that everybody who's โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC9GKJA A Fine Pair # 1625 ~ Eynsham reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I like to check in on my new caches after about a week in the field to ensure there are no teething troubles with their hiding place/weatherproofing etc. All looks good here!

    This checkin to GC9EZ55 Beam Approach Training reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Dropped in to check on this cache while out for a cycle nearby. Both the first stage puzzle object and the cache container are in place and healthy.

    This checkin to GC944X7 Pop! Bang! Crack! Goes the Christmas Cracker reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The second of the caches in this series that I found in between errands, this afternoon, was probably the easiest, because the hiding place reminds me distinctly of one of my own hides! โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC93YF2 O Christmas Tree reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I'd picked this one out as an essential for this afternoon's "between jobs" hunt, because it completes my Solar System Wonders set. How pleased I was to find that through this cache a tree is properly - โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC93W4C Twelve Days of Caching reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Having "solved" all the puzzles some time ago I'm picking away at finding the caches in this series a few at a time, starting the other week, every time I happen to be passing nearby. I โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC6H7HD Zoology reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Having succeeded at my primary goal for the evening of finding the challenging sibling of this cache, Herbology, I realised I probably had just enough time left before sunset to find this one, too, if I got a move โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC6H7JG Herbology reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I get precious little time for geocaching lately: between work, childcare, household and volunteering commitments it's a challenge to squeeze in a quick expedition here and there. That's doubly-true as the days get shorter: after finishing work, feeding the โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC6FD6N Cumnor Minions - Norbert reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick almost-CnD on the school run. I'd love to come back and do the series someday! Found easily (although the hint object is nowhere in sight!), but container was challenging to open! Luckily the edge โ€ฆ

"Solved" all the puzzles some time ago, then came out to find this cache as a drive-by (on the minor, not the major, nearby road, of course!) while in-between other errands nearby. Was looking for something smaller โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC6H7G2 Geology reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick and easy find in spite of the growing dark, significantly helped by my having correctly interpreted the name of the cache and knew exactly at I was looking for TFTC.

    This checkin to GC98N4G Tar Lakes/South Leigh Loop #9 Speed reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Third time was the charm for me with this elusive cache! On this and my last visit the coords kept pointing me to the centre of the road, giving me a pretty big search โ€ฆ
