After we didn’t find it immediately, my friend and I looked at the hint, and it threw us completely off course! Knowing something about the cache led us to look on entirely the wrong side of the road! We eventually found it after bunster18 (the cache placer) appeared and pointed in its direction. What an embarrassing start to our morning’s caching!

After a few nettle stings and a little bit of stretching, found this little cache and dropped off a travel bug. Maybe somebody could help it find its way to an airport?

The “hardest” cache on our list for this morning turned out to be the easiest, as we walked along and just spotted it (we were helped by the fact that it appeared to be disguised in the same way as “Trainspotting”, which we’d just come from). Strangely, it doesn’t seem to fully fit its description here, but it was definitely in the right place and was certainly signed by some of the recent visitors, so I guess we found it!
Not too many nettles to sting us, this time, but a few.

Woke up early while visiting friends Restlessboy and pickettywitch, so went out for a walk and found this lovely little cache while I was out. Took “Vegas Here We Come!”, because anywhere I leave it has to be closer to an international airport than here! TFTC!
After a few years break, I’m once again heading up to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival. As on previous ocassions, I expect to spend a lot of time enjoying Peter Buckley Hill‘s Free Fringe, which is just about the best thing to happen to the Fringe ever. And this time, I’m going to be better-prepared than ever. I’ve made a map.
Sharing is caring, so I’ve made the map available to you, too. Click on the picture to see the map. Because it’s in Google Maps it ought to work on your mobile phone. If you’ve got GPS then you can get lost in Edinburgh in high-tech ways you never before thought possible. Click on any given venue for a web address where you can find a list of events that are occurring at that venue.
Or if you’re really nerdy, you can download the KML and go geocaching-for-comedy. Just me? Okay then…
Update: you can now view the map on the frontpage of the Free Fringe website, too.

Second of my three quick cache runs this morning while running ahead of a lunchtime appointment. My pen had stopped working, though, so I couldn’t sign the log. Great hiding place!

Found with some difficulty as there’s been scaffolding erected in front of the cache: takes some reaching to get past it, and also attracted me some strange looks from passers-by: not sure it’s going to remain a good place for a cache while the scaffolding is there! Pen had stopped working earlier in the day so I couldn’t sign the log. TFTC.

A quick cache-run while running ahead of myself for a lunchtime meeting. Pen stopped working, so couldn’t sign the log! TFTC.

Found with fleeblewidget, pacifist_049, and misterjta (the latter of which spotted it in no time at all despite the low light). TFTC: it’s been a while since I’ve been out on the hunt!

Lovely little cache right where I used to play as a kid. Thanks for the excuse to revisit! TFTC

A successful find while out on an evening’s expedition with fleeblewidget. Our GPSrs were way off, perhaps because of the trees, and we had to search a large area before we finally found it! TFTC.

Out for an quick couple of caches on an evening with fleeblewidget, we found this one without too much difficulty. Wonderful hiding place! TFTC.

Found pretty easily this lunchtime… but my pen didn’t work! So instead I took a photo of the cache while I hid in a nearby phone box (attached).
Nice re-use of a hard disk drive magnet on this cache! Good to see a little recycling in action!

A quick lunchtime cache-and-dash around my workplace. An easy find (but a great hiding place); I’m glad I wore laced shoes! Looked at the hint after I found it, though, and I’ve no idea how it would have helped me: maybe I just don’t “get it”. TFTC.
This checkin to GL5HJDRG University Challenge 11 (The High) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
A quick lunchtime cache-and-dash around my workplace. Easy to find exactly where it’ll be, but very hard to find the right moment to snatch it (and return it!) without being spotted by the muggles who’d come out in force for this lovely sunny day. TFTC.
