  • As the UK's heatwave continues, the dog and I were delighted that this morning was sufficiently overcast that we could manage a proper walk without completely melting.

    A French Bulldog on a forested path, panting happily.

    Her breed copes badly with the heat and we've lately had to keep her indoors or in the shade more than she'd like, so a chance to run around among the trees was very welcome!

    Found GCANV4T #14 Longworth Loop

    While I searched through potential hosts in this off-the-path GZ, the geopup just stood in one particular place, looking at me as if I were a fool. I should've listened, because clearly her own geosense is developing: she was right next to the cache's hiding spot!
    TFTC, and thanks once more for such a brilliant loop of caches: all nicely hidden, well cared for, and appropriately sized. Really enjoyed our walk this morning

  • Found GCANV4N #12 Longworth Loop

    After fashioning the requisite tool it still took me a solid 5+ attempts to retrieve the cache - it felt a bit like playing those wiggle-wire fairground games that I suck at so much! Once retrieved, the dog was very disappointed that start I was holding wasn't a plaything for her. TFTC, FP awarded for the right container, right hiding place, right difficulty.

    Found GCANV3D #06 Longworth Loop

    My geosense tingled and I found this cache straightaway, even while the geohound excitedly ran out into the open field ahead and exhorted me to follow. SL, TFTC!

    Found GCANV2R #03 Longworth Loop

    Searched high and low around the obvious hiding place before sitting down to have a think and immediately spotting another even better hiding place she the cache in pain sight: d'oh! The geopup didn't want to come all the all the way to it so she waited at the first obvious hiding spot.
    Great to see a good sized cache for the environment and in such good condition. FP awarded. Took 4x4 travel bug. TFTC!

    Found GCANV0A #01 Longworth Loop

    A morning walk for the geohound and I kicked off at this cache, near which we'd parked the car. Long been meaning to explore this loop: let's see how far we get before the pooch's tiny legs give her cause to protest! SL as DQ to save space at this QEF. TFTC!

    This checkin to GC9FHDP Kiln-ing me softly reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. The geopup and I took a walk from the Parrog to Newport Sands and back, this morning, and I'm glad we opted to find geocaches on the way back, rather than the way out, because it made โ€ฆ

    Found GC5JRP3 T'drath #3

    This checkin to GC5JRP3 T'drath #3 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I tried to find this cache back in 2016 without success. I'm confident I'd have looked in the place it's now hidden - which was today basically the first place I looked! - so maybe fast previous visit โ€ฆ

  • I was happy to get out of the traffic jam and get some fresh air, but the dog is REALLY happy! Running, rolling, sniffing, jumping... so excited to be able to move around!

  • Off to Pembrokeshire on holiday I've had to stop near Cardiff to put some more charge into the car... which provides the perfect opportunity for the doggo and I to explore a nearby sports field and take in All. The. Smells. ๐Ÿถ

  • What's that, girl? Two children are lost somewhere in this bookshop?

    Yeah, I should probably find them and take them home for lunch.
