Ha! I agree – the boards are irrelevant!

I got within a few metres of the cache through some creative climbing, but couldn’t get close enough to reach it. I’m pretty sure that I could manage it with some ropes and a belayer, but I’m not as young as I used to be and I think I’ll instead attempt this cache in the way that the owner intended. Nice location: I look forward to logging it someday!

I cycle right by here virtually every day, but every time I think to look this way it’s late afternoon and the muggles are out in force. Today, though, I left for work a little earlier than normal and so managed to get here before the place was crawling with them. Lid of the cache was very tight, but got there in the end. TFTC!

Found while (optimistically) looking at what it would take to log the nearby non-virtual cache GC13WZQ (I’m now convinced that the “correct” way to log that one is the only one). Amazing to see the remains of such a spectacular old swing bridge: I took a nice photo but I can’t share it here because to do so would answer one of the challenge questions! TFT(V)C!

Dan Q couldn’t find GC3P0TV Route Canal – Green Lock

Damn! The moment I arrived, a queue of boats mysteriously appeared to use the lock. AND the lock was set the wrong way to begin with. Hung around looking inconspicuous and chatting to folks for a few minutes then gave up… for now!

Dan Q couldn’t find GC3VJ7C Yarnton Link – Low Field

Hunted for a bit, then came online to look for recent logs. Found the new hint, but that still didn’t help me. Can only one place close to the GZ that fits the description, and couldn’t find the cache. Got thoroughly nestled, though! :-(

Maybe another day.

Great cache, great hiding place. My coordinates were about 15m off but the terrain rating (and the hint) set me straight. Wasn’t as hard as I’d expected (hoped?), but still a nice change from the usual terrain challenge of the caches I attempt! Lovely spot. TFTC!

Dan Q found GLE5H03Z Route Canal – Under The Bridge

Looking around I could see hundreds of good hiding places, but my intuition guided me well and I found my way right to the cache. Looking across the canal and the fields beyond, I can just about make out the Sainsburys where I do my weekly shopping! TFTC.
