#geocaching — Public Fediverse posts

Despite immediately honing in on exactly the right host, it still took me an embarrassingly long time to find this cache. This, despite having found – and even hidden – cache contsibers of exactly this type before!My usual technique for lazily finding them, which involves swooping my phone through likely hiding spots with the camera […]

Found the grave, but this is now the second offset I’ve found here that’s asked me to double-back on my walk. Nope! I’m just going to save the calculated coordinates for the next time I’m in the area! Looking forward to returning!

Found the clues and solved the coordinates, but I’ve JUST walked past the final location a while ago and don’t feel like doubling back today! A=How many letters in the word underneath Knoxville? B=A*2 C=Number of letters in place where “Beckett” came from. D=C+1 E=F Number of letters in the word underneath Knoxville divided by 2 […]

Like many before me, from the looks of things, I didn’t find the cache at the published coordinates but about 11 metres away at N 51° 34.086′, W 001° 26.441′. Possibly worth the CO checking if those coordinates work better for them, too, during their next maintenance visit. TFTC!

A challenging but worthwhile find during a walk along and around the Ridgeway.My initial attempt to collect the coordinates was way off because I misinterpreted some of the instructions and it yielded a point almost 2km away! My second attempt looked better, giving a likely-looking spot… but the checksum was out by one!I triple-checked all […]

This morning I came up to explore the Ridgeway and escape from thinking about Life Stuff for a bit. (Although escaping from the rain wasn’t a possibility! It was real wet up here today!)I was wandering this path in a bit of a reverie when I spotted something unusual and thought it a good candidate […]

Found cache contents first, some of which I was only able to identify thanks to the photo in the previous log. Cache container, minus lid, was found a reasonable distance away, but this badly-damaged, nearly-destroyed cache is a goner, I feel.It’s seen no owner maintenance in most of a decade and CO doesn’t seem to […]

#checkin #cacheLog #geocaching

A few attempts at hacking through the brambles to get near the hint location had me thinking that perhaps this was a wintertime only cache… before I realised that there was a different route by which I might approach it. Soon I was directly atop the coordinates and immediately sighted what I was looking for.Unfortunately […]

A quick diversion before a hike up Gramp’s Hill and along the Ridgeway. After collecting the required information I pressed on to the cache, meeting some friendly ponies and horses on the way.The coordinates were spot on, which surprised me as the location didn’t seem to be accessible! But it is, just a little overgrown! […]

After a walk out with the dog to claim the FTF on nearby GCBX0R7, I figured that I still had a little a few minutes on my hands before the code I’d been writing for my day job finished deploying and testing itself, so I thought I’d try to go two-for-two with this, a second […]

After liaising with the CO to get the formula fixed following my previous effort, the geohound and I came out for a drizzly walk in-between the downpours to have a second attempt at the FTF. We’re living in Standlake temporarily while our house is repaired following a catastrophic flood earlier in the year, and while […]

Well I feel especially thick right now. Probably I’ve done something stupid, but I rushed down here between-meetings in hope of an FTF, collected all the numbers, did the maths, and got… the same coordinates I started with! Wot?The checksum even works out with the original coordinates, too! Which of course can happen organically but […]

With exceptions for those of us who had work to do at the start or end, my family and I just spent three weeks hopping around the East of Spain, featuring surfing, a theme park, exploring, dodging the heat, and - of course - a total solar eclipse.

When I visited two years ago I thought I’d solved the puzzle but couldn’t find the cache. I’m in the area again today and thought I’d make another attempt, but the recent ‘enabled’ seems to suggest that it isn’t actually available?Maybe I can try again in 2028!

A quick find exactly where it should be while driving from Tarragona to Barcelona. My family and I were in the area for the eclipse and then for a trip to PortAventura and are heading to Barcelona for a few days before flying home.My partner and our kids went to the bathroom and snack bar […]

After finding over a thousand geocaches, I wanted to check my total with the largest of the geocache listing sites I use, and discovered that you can't get the same answer twice from it even if you ask it three times for an answer. Wot?
