Found GC79ZK3 Wootton Word Wall
This morning, the younger geokid and I came out for a walk with the geopup. After a little difficulty getting a GPSr fix we eventuality found a good-looking host, and after a few laps we had the well-camouflaged container in our hands. A good sized, well maintained container and an interesting puzzle, even if the way we solved it might be considered by some to have been cheating!

Did I Cheat?
I solved a puzzle geocache in an unconventional way: by writing a program to permute all the possible solutions and check them for me. Was that cheating? I can see arguments either way...

Wrote note for GCADCWF Treasure island
I first found this cache last summer while cycling a circuitous route from Witney to Stanton Harcourt. I happened to be walking the dog nearby, this morning, and so I figured I'd check up on it. The outer container continues to deteriorate and could do with some TLC, but otherwise this cache looks to be okay.

Found GC4MJR8 R’n’R #2 Skinny & Boney
This checkin to R’n’R #2 Skinny & Boney reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coming across from Finstock via R'n'R #9 (we're absolutely doing this series in the wrong order!), the geokid, geopup and I made a poor choice by hugging the tree line rather than cutting out of the …

This checkin to GC4MJY0 R’n’R #9 – Thumper reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found GC4MJRJ R’n’R #3 – Not Quite A Well?
Another quick find for the sharp-eyed geokid, once we found the right host. Three for three and that's time for us to turn about and go have our brunch. TFTC!

Found GC4MJRT R’n’R #4 – Changing Colours
The woods made it hard to get a good fix, but eventually we were in the vicinity of this excellent cache. It took a few different tree hosts before eventually we were looking in the right place. The younger geokid insists that I log that he caught sight of it before me!

Found GC4MJX6 R’n’R #6 – what YOU looking at?
Came out for a dog walk from New Yatt this morning. The GZ is deep within thick brambles, but the younger geokid was up to the challenge and soon the unusual cache container was in hand. TFTC!

Found GCAABNW North Leigh Loop #6
This checkin to GCAABNW North Leigh Loop #6 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Tougher than we expected to find - not only is this a stealthy container but it's hidden unusually-thoroughly too! TFTC
I'm increasingly regretting my choice this morning to wear comfortable but not waterproof shoes rather … -
Did not find GCAABNV North Leigh Loop #5
This checkin to GCAABNV North Leigh Loop #5 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. No sign of this one, despite the geohound and I's best efforts.

Maybe it washed away if the nearby drainage ditch broke its banks this winter? -
Found GC1QY29 Can Rabbits Climb Trees??
This checkin to GC1QY29 Can Rabbits Climb Trees?? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Coming up from Evergreen/Loop #4 the geohound and I made a poor guess about which side the the hedgerow we ought to be on, and - to avoid having to backtrack - opted to cut through …

Found GC1QYPN Back to Evergreen
This checkin to GC1QYPN Back to Evergreen reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup and I are out doing the North Leigh Loop from New Yatt, where we're temporarily living while our house is dried and damage assessed by the insurance company following a catastrophic flood a few weeks …

Did not find GCAABMN North Leigh Loop #3
This checkin to GCAABMN North Leigh Loop #3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. While the geohound busied herself with the important task of collecting sticks several times larger than herself, I began the search for what I'd figured would be a QEF.
AltA French Bulldog pulls at the …
