Did not find GCB9ZGB Church Micro 2416...Appleton - St Laurence
This checkin to GCB9ZGB Church Micro 2416...Appleton - St Laurence reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Worked out the coordinates on the way out into the woods but was prevented from searching by muggles. Had a hint on the way back out of the woods but couldn't lay eyes, hands, …

Found GCB9ZHJ Besselsleigh Wood - The Old Coppiced Tree
This checkin to GCB9ZHJ Besselsleigh Wood - The Old Coppiced Tree reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found in the second place we looked. The geohound and I definitely approached this one from the wrong direction and the poor pupper's little legs weren't well-equipped for the brambly terrain: she had …

Found GCB9ZHR Besselsleigh Wood - The Fallen Stump
This checkin to GCB9ZHR Besselsleigh Wood - The Fallen Stump reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. (Excellent) container was undisguised and visible from the path, and with both latches unfastened! But I still had something to open, thanks to the fun (but not too challenging) inner puzzle box. Sealed everything …

Wrote note for GCB9ZJK Besselsleigh Wood - A Little Birdie Told Me
This checkin to GCB9ZJK Besselsleigh Wood - A Little Birdie Told Me reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Passed the GZ twice without being able to perform a proper search owing to endless streams of muggles on one or the other side of the fence. One for another day perhaps.

Did not find GC27K1V Church Micro 1146...Bessels Leigh
This checkin to GC27K1V Church Micro 1146...Bessels Leigh reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. While doing the series in the woods nearby the geohound and I figured we'd look for this cache, too. It might still be there, but if so it's deeper into the brambles than I was willing …

Found GCB9ZJG Besselsleigh Wood - The Conifer
This checkin to GCB9ZJG Besselsleigh Wood - The Conifer reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Easy enough to sight this one despite its disguise, but a bit of a challenge to retreive and return it! Coming back out to the footpath I spotted one of the biggest wild mushrooms I've …

This checkin to GCB9ZJB Besselsleigh Wood - Across The Ditch reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Had a bad GPS fix and stumbled about for a while before we found this, yet another container sized perfectly for its environment. TFTC!

Found GCB9ZJ0 Besselsleigh Wood - The Lightning Strike
This checkin to GCB9ZJ0 Besselsleigh Wood - The Lightning Strike reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. An easy find of this brilliant container, not least because it was a little exposed: almost completely without camouflage and with its lid unfastened. Contents seem fine though, and I took care to re-hide …

This checkin to GCB9ZJ6 Besselsleigh Wood - The Holey Tree reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF, the cache winking out at us from its hiding place as the geopup and I approached. TFTC, and Happy Halloween!

This checkin to GCB9ZH3 Little Bridges # 3220 - Besselsleigh Wood reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

This checkin to GCB9ZGP Besselsleigh Wood - The Little Oak reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A relatively easy find (with a nice container) for the geohound and I while out on a walk around Appleton this morning. TFTC!

Did not find GC6Q39P Cur.Bri.Lew 9
This checkin to GC6Q39P Cur.Bri.Lew 9 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Made two searches for this - one on the way out, one on the way back - but I'm confident that it simply isn't there. CO attention needed.

Found GC6Q39H Cur.Bri.Lew 8
A quick find while walking the dog after running an errand nearby. Container in very poor condition, unlikely to survive a big winter storm. Re-hid as found. TTFC.

Found GC13NEG From a Swan to the Canary: Hermit
I'm in London for a long weekend of Jet Lag Hide & Seek, staying at a hotel a little to the North of here. After having to DNF Aldgate East Sidetracked, which is pretty much below my bedroom window but seems to have gone walkabout, I felt like I needed a geocaching win so I waked down here to hunt for this one.
Initially starting atop the bridge I soon realised that I needed to approach this one from the waterfront. I first found a more-obvious hiding spot - perhaps the home of the larger muggled container? - before checking the hint and locating its younger sibling.
Greeted some swans before beginning the rainy walk back to check out of my hotel. -
Did not find GC6R926 TUBE SideTracked - Aldgate East
I've been in London playing Hide & Seek (by Jet Lag rules) and my hotel overlooks this fountain. I came down to take a look - the "running hooves" splash effect is pretty great!
Sadly, the cache was nowhere to be found, though. I found the right dog and prodded and poked it, as well as running an investigative mirror around every side of it, without success. Think it might have vanished!
