Kind: Checkins

Geotagged, location-based posts; often related to my geo*ing adventures.

  • Found GC9BD0E Church Micro 14013...Clerkenwell - St Marks

    QEF in the second hiding place I tried, while out playing Jet Lag The Game with the family (my hiding zone is the 500m around Angel Station and I wanted to find a generic looking church that I can send a picture of if the seekers' team asks for one!). TFTC!

    Found GCAXYB9 Freeland to Hanborough #04 - Revived

    Found in the third candidate place I looked, as the other walkers from my youngest kid's taekwondo school escaped into the woods ahead. Had to jog to catch up after this find! Discovered my kid leading the pack, when I finally got there.

    Found GCB19MJ St Ann's Well

    This checkin to GCB19MJ St Ann's Well reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. There's some kind of foot race going on today and the well area is heaving with people: spectators lining the roadside are cheering and whooping as the runners barrel past. My partner Ruth and are only in โ€ฆ

    Geohashing expedition 2026-10-04 51 -2

    A pre-dawn walk around East Bristol from a Three Rings event took me to within 16 metres... but not quite all the way to... a geohashpoint.

I expected not to have opportunity for a second attempt at this today, but my schedule opened up somewhat when the fire alarm went off at the hotel and we had to evacuate! As hotel guests and โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GC46YDF Second Row - Ball Retention reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found lying on the ground, in the open. Based on the previous log, I guess that, without its magnets, it quickly fell down. Re-hid, visibly, in a large crack in the wall which I hope โ€ฆ

    Found GC46YCV Lock - Hanging Bison

    A quick find for the geohound and I while walking back to Tackley (via the TP6298 trigpoint up on the rise to the North) from the 2026-09-27 51 -1 geohashpoint. A successful hashing expedition followed by a successful geocache find, nice!

  • Wrote note for GC9EXXC Shady Seat on The Green

    Quick check while I was passing, as nobody's logged this cache during our stupidly-hot July or August (and I don't blame them: it's been horrible outdoors!). Anyway: the cache is fine and healthy and looking forward to its next visitor!
