My geosense tingled and I found this cache straightaway, even while the geohound excitedly ran out into the open field ahead and exhorted me to follow. SL, TFTC!

Searched high and low around the obvious hiding place before sitting down to have a think and immediately spotting another even better hiding place she the cache in pain sight: d’oh! The geopup didn’t want to come all the all the way to it so she waited at the first obvious hiding spot.

Great to see a good sized cache for the environment and in such good condition. FP awarded. Took 4×4 travel bug. TFTC!

Briefly overshot this one and then failed to get a good GPS fix, but the hint set us right. Gorgeous sun this morning on the poppies peeking up over the corn.

A morning walk for the geohound and I kicked off at this cache, near which we’d parked the car. Long been meaning to explore this loop: let’s see how far we get before the pooch’s tiny legs give her cause to protest! SL as DQ to save space at this QEF. TFTC!

Dan Q found GC1QR0V Church Micro 605 Almondsbury

This checkin to GC1QR0V Church Micro 605 Almondsbury reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Stopped at the pub nearby for an incredibly late lunch and to recharge the electric car on my journey from Pembrokeshire to Oxfordshire, because I’d much rather get off the motorway and find somewhere nice to sit while the electrons do their thing. Spotted this nearby cache in the yard of this beautiful church, which made for a lovely walk as the well-tended flowerbeds were wonderfully fragrant. Followed a geotrail to find the cache. Amazing, loved finding this so much. SL, TNLN, TFTC, FP awarded.

A black and white cat stands on flagstones before a wooden gate. — Also got to meet the church cat.

The geopup and I took a walk from the Parrog to Newport Sands and back, this morning, and I’m glad we opted to find geocaches on the way back, rather than the way out, because it made this particular cache extraordinarily easy. The rocks that ought to have concealed it were absent and I was able to make out the familiar shape of this kind of container from the path, no searching required!

The remains of a stone kiln, a gravel path running alongside it, alongside a river estuary. — Had I approached from this direction, I might still be searching.

Returning it to its spot, I attempted to reconceal it with the help of some nearby slabs if slate. But given how much of an obvious magnet to playful children this entire structure is (I’m pretty sure mine had a go at dismantling it on a previous visit, predating this cache, circa 2019!) I’m not sure how long it’ll remain!

TFTC. Great to walk this path once more!

Dan Q found GC5JRP3 T’drath #3

This checkin to GC5JRP3 T'drath #3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

I tried to find this cache back in 2016 without success. I’m confident I’d have looked in the place it’s now hidden – which was today basically the first place I looked! – so maybe fast previous visit was during one of the cache’s periods of absencennIn any case, I returned today and brought my faithful geohound on a morning walk from Parrog to Newport Sands and back, finding this cache on our return leg. She wasn’t much help, but fortunately I didn’t need her to be! TFTC.

Dan Q found GCB4434 A Road Anarchy – A40 TB Hotel

This checkin to GCB4434 A Road Anarchy - A40 TB Hotel reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

On a diversion from my cycle from Witney to Eynsham I came along the A40 cyclepath to find this cache. And what a cache! An excellent container perfectly suited to it’s hiding place. SL, TNLN, FP awarded for a large and well maintained container, TFTC.

Dan Q found GCAARWW Green All Around

This checkin to GCAARWW Green All Around reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After cycling into Witney on an errand, put a slight diversion in my return route to find this cache. Didn’t see anything at the coordinates so hit the hint, and there’s been enough fresh green growth here that effect even then it took me a while to find the hint object! It probably used to be more visible! Once I’d found it (a few metres North if the GZ) the cache was found soon after. TFTC.
