Dan Q found GC5E4E Catastrophe, Calamity, Cataclysm Part 4

This checkin to GC5E4E Catastrophe, Calamity, Cataclysm Part 4 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Can’t do the physical today, but scooping a pic with the virtual during a morning walk around the neighbourhood.

Dan stands on a London street, gesturing to an old water pump (against which a man reclines).

Strictly speaking, I’ve come out to check on behalf of my family whether the queue for day two of West End Live has started gathering yet, but I couldn’t resist tagging a couple of caches on the way! TFTC (and to the adopter for keeping this one alive!).

Dan Q found GCAJJCJ Piccadilly Circus (Virtual Reward 4.0) ツ

This checkin to GCAJJCJ Piccadilly Circus (Virtual Reward 4.0) ツ reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After nine hours on my feet yesterday queuing for and then attending the first day of West End Live in Trafalgar Square, I somehow decided that the best thing for my poor legs would be to get up early while everybody else slept in, to come walk around and find a virtual or two. Right around the corner from my hotel, this was the first!

Dan stands in front of a scaffolded fountain at the iconic Piccadilly Circus.

There’s scaffolding around the fountain right now but you can still see it and, crucially, the lights. Good morning, London! TFTC.

Dan Q found GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop

This checkin to GCBMAMH #22 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

For a while I was looking way too high, but in the end I caught a glimpse of this surprisingly well-concealed container.

And that’s the loop complete! Big thanks to the CO for setting this excellent trail spanning so many gorgeous footpaths, many of them new to me despite being relatively local!

Dan, a white man with a blue ponytail and a goatee beard, wearing a purple t-shirt, crouches in a quiet rural lane alongside a panting French Bulldog, whose lead he's holding, as he smiles at the camera.

Thanks for all the caches, and for a delightful Spring morning’s walk!

Dan Q found GCBMAJB #16 Northmoor Loop

This checkin to GCBMAJB #16 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

It’s funny, I’ve cycled down the nearby back road countless times but never known that this footpath was here.

A French Bulldog follows a trail through a grassy field.

Near the GZ the geopup saved the day on this one, spotting the requisite geotrail and bringing me back to it. A bit of hair-pulling from the nearby trees didn’t stop me retrieving this nice, large cache. TFTC!

Dan Q found GCBMAK5 #14 Northmoor Loop

This checkin to GCBMAK5 #14 Northmoor Loop reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Spent a while hunting in entirely the wrong place, got the hint, then searched in a different wrong place before remembering that the hint object is a thing that comes in two halves. Where’s the other half? One I’d found that, retrieving the cache was easy. Although I did get pooped on by a bird I disturbed in the tree above the cache!
