  • 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.

  • 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 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!

    Found GCAABPG North Leigh Loop #7

    This checkin to GCAABPG North Leigh Loop #7 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Completing our loop (minus a couple of DNFs, but plus a couple of nearby caches), this damp geopup and I were really happy to finish with this good-sized cache!

    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 โ€ฆ

  • Sun rising through hazy but clear skies.

    The calm after the storm

    This morning, from my Premier Inn window, the skies are clear. I could almost forget that, just 4 miles away, my house is full of water.
    Today may well be a day of waders and damage assessment, conversations with insurance companies and of working out where we'll be living for the near future.

    Found GC9MCDM The Queen Of Mystery

    After solving the riddle yesterday, my partner Ruth and I came up from the seafront to find this cache today. What a delightful spot to hide the cache, and what a wonderful puzzle (and spot of local literary history) with which to bring us here.

  • The sun peeks through clouds at the horizon beyond a wide valley full of fields.

    Found GC2EFAW The Cairn Cache

    The geopup and I, on holiday from West Oxfordshire and staying nearby, came out for a morning walk in the ice and snow today.

    Our little Frenchie's tiny legs made the work of climbing the stiles on this path a little challenging, but with persistence we were treated to a wonderful view of the sun broaching the horizon over the valley at the North end of School Wood.

    Soon the cairn was in sight, and what a brilliant spot for a cache! Signed log, and dropped a travel bug that's come all the way from Texas to continue its journey. FP awarded for bringing us out this way.

    Found GCBBVQN Magic of Lapland

    It's the final morning of my short visit to Sirkka. Having 90 minutes until I need to set off for the airport, I decided to come out for a quick geocaching expedition first. This was the first cache on my list, and I was so glad to choose it. A truly beautiful and well-maintained cache in a wonderful spot. FP awarded. TFTC!

  • A hand-coloured card, saying 'Thank you so much', with a child's drawing of somebody talking about Bell Beaker people and a photo of Dan showing pictures of pots to a class of schoolchildren.

    The Local Historian

    This week I (again) helped share my knowledge about a nearby stone circle and henge with a group of children from the local school. And I was overjoyed to receive the most-delightful handmade 'thank you' card from the class.
