Tag: geocaching

  • A French bulldog pants in a grassy meadow: the tall arch of a river footbridge emerges in the distance.

    Found GCBMAGF #07 Northmoor Loop

    Imagine my surprise when the geohound and I are out for a walk from Appleton to find the Rainbow Bridge cache, to receive a notification of a new cache series at Northmoor. All we need to do is extend our walk a short way, I figure, and we can claim an FTF! But it was not to be!

  • A French bulldog pants as she looks over the egde of a bridge, high above a river.

    Found GC8B4J5 Rainbow Bridge

    Our taeget cache got the geopup and I: I've coated under this bridge, I think, but never found an excuse to go over it into today. The doggo is running out of steam and the afternoon looks likely to be too hot for her, but we'll make a quick run at one of the new Nortmoor Loop series before we turn back. Might even score a FTF!

  • A white man with a blue ponytail and a goatee beard sits with a French bulldog alongside a wide, calm river.

    Found GCBB3J9 Appleton Wharf

    What a beautiful spot for a geocache, which the geopup and I quickly found in the second host we checked. Then, we enjoyed a delightful few minutes of peace, sitting on the riverbank, before continuing our morning's adventure.

  • Did not find GCBBDDV To The Thames

    The geohound wouldn't let me search as long as I'd have liked, and my GPS must've been off because I couldn't really find anything that matched the hint description. One for another day, perhaps.

  • A French Bulldog snoops around a stone-lined spring.

    Found GC8JWW9 Aslan's Spring

    The geopup tested the waters while I retrieved the cache. What a wonderful spring on a delightful footpath! TFTC, and FP for the wonderful location and proper-sized cache container.

  • Found GCBAZZN The Big Dipper

    QEF for the geohound and I on a walk around Appleton this morning. Excellent container with a fantastic hint, FP awarded. TFTC!

  • Dan hangs from a tree; a cache container is barely visible in the background.

    Found GCBN167 Ivy Believe It's Up There!

    This afternoon I'm acting as backup driver for my partner Ruth, who's walking the length of the Thames Path by (very gradual) instalments. A delightful tree climb soon gave me this great cache container!

  • Did not find GC3KQK2 RRR10

    A little sad to DNF this cache which is probably just well-hidden, but I've only got limited time to hunt as I'm the backup driver for this segment of a walk down the entire length of the Thames Path.

  • Dan sits in a glass bus shelter, hugging a French Bulldog.

    Found GC1FNVT SideTracked - Kingham

    Found successfully on an Easter morning dog walk from Bledington. The geopup and I came out across the fields, trying to get outdoors early before the rain that's forecast for later in the day. Careful patience, logical elimination, and a determination not to give up were the keys, here.

    Found GC1ZEKG Church Micro 2809 - Bledington

    QEF for the geohound and I as we came out for a walk from the house we're borrowing this week - the latest of many AirBnB-like week-long lets we've had to decamp to after our house was rendered uninhabitable by a flash flood around fifty days ago. Hopefully the last, though, as the insurance company may at last have found us sonewhere to live longer-term while our house is repaired!

  • Did not find GC4M7C4 Scouting About

    The elder geokid and I had a search in all the likely spots we could find after attending her cousin's 2nd birthday party nearby. No luck for us today!

  • On the other side of a deep rural railway cutting, beyond a tall brick bridge, a large house stands above a vineyard.

    Did not find GCARTHJ Knock Knock, Who's There!

    Ran out of time and had to give up.. Nice view of our accommodation for this week from this hill, though!

  • A boy hangs from a rope swing over a grassy hillside.

    Found GCARTHE Rope Swing

    Found without difficulty while the geokid amused himself on the swing. Shame about the litter near the GZ, may be a CITO opportunity up here! Loving the views: think I can see our accommodation from here! TFTC and for showing us this rope swing!

    Not a fan of this kind of container, but I must admit that I enjoy a decent-sized cache! TFTC.

    Found GCARTHR Coton Hill Community Orchard

    We enjoyed sitting on the nearby bench while we cracked open this decent sized cache (and emptied out the accumulated water!). Log still in good condition, though. TFTC!
