Stopped by while cycling back from Witney. Made a moderately thorough search above and below the titular bridge, without success. Might benefit from a checkin/note from the CO.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, or else maybe it's vanished in the six months since its last successful find. Great place for a cache, though!

This checkin to GCAWNQH Light me up reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. QEF while cycling into Witney for an appointment. Cache lid is absent (missing?): risk of becoming waterlogged later in the year, I suspect. TFTC.

In case you weren’t already a little nervous or uneasy going in to the dental clinic, the doorstop at my dentist’s front door will fix that for you.

I recently read Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella. I guess it's got a 'werewolf'. It barely feels 'gay'. It certainly left me 'bored', at times. Turns out that it's a very middle-of-the-road story about Gen Z folks growing into their identities, using sexuality and lycanthropy as loosely-fitting framing devices.

Had to give up on this one for now. Found the plaque without difficulty and soon had a believable set of coordinates (though I briefly struggled with what was meant by the D & E description). Soon I was at the GZ and, after a brief hunt through the multitude of possible hosts, tried the hint. No use, though: I'm no wiser what I should be looking for. Sadly this is only a flying visit to Marston and I've got to go wrangle the kids now, but maybe I'll revisit next time I'm in the area.

I'm in Marston on an errand and figured I'd pick up a couple of local caches that weren't around when I was last in the vicinity: which I guess was way back when I lived near here! The puzzle didn't leave me stumped for long, but I always used to score highly at Dotty's kind of game! TFTC.

A quick and easy offset church micro if ever I saw one. I'll tell you what, I totally approve of this form of formula - this letter is this number plus or minus something, ten just string them all together - rather than the more-common algebraic backflips one sometimes has to do. SL, TFTC!

After a brief hunt in a couple of candidate places a hit the hint, which was reassuringly clear on which host I should be searching. Soon the cache was in hand. TFTC.

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

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 at retrieved entirely by feel while the geopup stood (well, sat) guard. TFTC.

A helpful geotrail led me right to this one, though I had to wait until a slow-moving jogger, talking on their phone, had passed before I could retrieve it. TFTC.

QEF at the one obvious hiding place within the GZ. Got pickled retrieving the cache, but that was nothing compared to how difficult it was to extract the log from its inner container. What a challenge! TFTC.

Great container in an excellent spot (have another FP!) but retrieval of this one was a bit of a stretch for my old bones! Amazing route you've picked out here, too, CO. TFTC!

A telltale sign to geocacher's eye made both finding and retrieving this cache pretty easy. TFTC!

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!

After initially following what I mistook for a geotrail but which turned out to be on entirely the wrong side of the path, I soon saw my mistake, crossed over, and had the cache in hand. TFTC.

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!

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!

Briefly overshot this one and then failed to get a good GPS fix, but the hint set us right. Gorgeous sun this morning on the poppies peeking up over the corn.

Could I rock an interview tech-test in a programming language I haven't touched in a decade? I wanted to know, so I found a tech-test... then solved it in six different programming languages in a single sitting.

Performed a quick checkup on this much-loved cache before the summertime cachers come out in earnest. All looks healthy here!

Dan Sinker looks at the symptoms and causes of the "Who Cares Era" we find ourselves living in, and raises interesting thoughts about AI's role in it. His post's worth a read, but here's my take.

I'm apply for a few roles that might be the next step in my career. And to my surprise, updating my CV and tweaking my portfolio is doing a world of good for my feelings of self-worth!

Seriously: looking back over the last ~25 years of my career and enumerating the highlights is giving me a better "big picture" view of everything I've achieved than I ever got from the near-focus of daily work. I should do this more often!

I don’t want to withdraw any of our children from sec [sic] education lessons. However they’re spelled, they’re a great idea, and I’m grateful to live in a part of the world where their existence isn’t the target of religious politics. But if I can withdraw consent to receiving emails about sex education in Comic […]

Stopped at the pub nearby for an incredibly late lunch and to recharge the electric car on my journey from Pembrokeshire to Oxfordshire, because I'd much rather get off the motorway and find somewhere nice to sit while the electrons do their thing. Spotted this nearby cache in the yard of this beautiful church, which made for a lovely walk as the well-tended flowerbeds were wonderfully fragrant. Followed a geotrail to find the cache. Amazing, loved finding this so much. SL, TNLN, TFTC, FP awarded.

Fellow Abnibbers and I, who see each other extraordinary infrequently in our diaspora, have a tradition of sharing a group selfie when we happen to coincide. I forgot to take one when @garethbowker@infosec.exchange and I met today, and by way of penance I tried to draw what I should have done. Unfortunately I can’t draw. […]

Out for a dog walk this morning along the Nevern Estuary, I spotted this brave fellow rowing his way (at least) half naked across the bay, on a route that pitted him against the wind, rain, and tide!

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 […]

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 […]
