This checkin to GC5FGMC R65: Hazelborough 1: Abby's woofday cache reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found after a brief hunt with the help of a boy and his dog. Definitely needed the hint! TFTC!

Found GCB61ZC Mossy
This checkin to GCB61ZC Mossy reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Saw GCB61ZC "Mossy" appear yesterday, but I'd already had an Easter Sunday beer or two and couldn't drive out here... in fact, I realised, I probably wasn't in a state to cycle out here either and so I resolved …

Found GC3PP3Q LOL #2 – Swimming
Second time lucky! As the pup and I approached the GZ we found a strange handwritten more on the ground, and, having not seen it on the way up, figured that it must belong to a woman we'd passed a little while ago. So we doubled back and returned it to her - turns out it was her shopping list - and chatted about tree beautiful bluebells (which is what she'd come out to see) before parting ways and returning to this cache.

Found GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived)
This checkin to GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived) reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Success on the second attempt. The geohound "guarded" the buggy-trapping ruts while I searched three different hosts before finding the container. TFTC!

Wrote note for GCB4774 LOL #5 – Shooting (revived)
I let the man with the kids and the dog ahead of me so I'd be able to mount searches without having to stop and separate dogs, but I caught up with him literally at this cache! His buggy (which carried two of the kids - the third was strapped to his chest) had gotten stuck in a rut and he was busy extracting it.

Found GC3PP47 LOL #3 – Wrestling
An excellent container in a picturesque spot. FP awarded. The geopup didn't want to come exploring off the path so I had to find this one by myself. SL, TFTC.

Found GC3PP1Z LOL #1 - Athletics
Being between jobs, I decided to offer the geohound a longer then usual walk this morning and clear my head before an application form I need to fill out. We opted for the first leg of this series: let's see how far the little pooch's legs will carry her! Cache found easily, SL, TFTC.

It wasn't until I made time for myself to get out into the countryside near my home and take the dog for a walk that I realised how much stress I'd been putting myself under during my team meetup, this week.
Istanbul was enjoyable and fascinating, and I love my team, but I always forget until after the fact how much a few days worth of city crowds can make me feel anxious and trapped.
It's good to get a mile or two from the nearest other human and decompress!

Dan, a red leash hung across his shoulders, gives a half-shrug as he smiles for a selfie on a grassy trail between a hedgerow and a field. Behind him, near a weathered old-fashioned footpath sign, his French Bulldog looks at him expectantly.

Woke up. Had a walk. Now it must be time for a well-earned nap. 💤

Found GCAP4MF Church Micro 15127...Curbridge
I had an errand to run in the Windrush Place estate on the other side of the A40, and the geopup needed a walk, so I opted to park the car over in Witney so my four-legged friend and I could walk the remaining way over to Curbridge and find this cache.

Work Slippers
Last month, the dog ate my slippers, and in the week it took me to replace them my work productivity took a dip. Coincidence? Nope! They were my 'work slippers', and it turns out I needed them!

Found GC3KQK8 RRR11 Pillow talk!
This checkin to GC3KQK8 RRR11 Pillow talk! reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My partner Ruth is, by installments, attempting to walk the entire Thames Path. Today, I'm on transport support so I've driven ahead of her to Culham Lock and the dog and I are walking back to meet …
