    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.

    This checkin to GCB1N17 Square root of E/m reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF for the geohound and I. My GPSr can't connect to the Internet and I'm not retyping a URL into my phone so I can't comment on the hint, but the cache itself is fine. SL, โ€ฆ

    F-Day plus 12

    It's been only twelve days since our house flooded (it feels like a lot longer!), and progress is slow on getting damage assessments and medium-term accommodation planning sorted.

    Dog tired

    Today was a long day. Between commuting (the kids to school from our distant flood-evacuation accommodation), work, childcare, insurance wrangling etc., I was pretty tired when I got back "home". So I came in and lay on the floor.

    At which point the dog decided I was a pillow.

    Found GCAWR04 Take an Allotment Break

    The family and I are staying in Lyneham for a couple of weeks following the flooding of our house (on the other side of Witney). This morning the younger geokid, the geopup, and I came out for a walk to find this geocache as well as to explore Milton-under-Wychwood and tag some of the memorial benches for OpenBenches. We sat near the cache and the geokid immediately found it. Looks like we're the second signatories of the New Year: somebody beat us to it on 5 Feb! TFTC.

Walking backwards and forwards past the GZ eventually enabled the geopup and I to spot this very-visible but high-up cache. Soon it was retrieved, the log signed, and returned.
