Geocaching

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

40 I think. That includes a series of 24 I adopted after their owner developed bad arthritis and couldn’t do the maintenance any more.

I always thought I was good at puzzles but now I’m having to review that opinion of myself!

I have solved a Grange Hill based one this morning with the help of Google but them there are these which I don’t get.

They look like sports team logos or flags or something. Can you google image search a couple to see what they are?

GC19EQ3

The title translates to the RAF motto.

RAF squadrons (or whatever the RAF is divided into)?

The first one is bound to be 18, 19 or 20 so I would google RAF 18 etc to see if I got a hit.

It’s 20. I’ve found them all. I always forget that there’s often a clue in the name! :doh: Thanks for the prompts.

Well done! I spotted a nice looking puzzle when I was down your way recently but not in time to actually solve it. I don’t know the GC number but it’s at Leith (sp?) Tower.

I have cracked open a new notebook for solving puzzles! :geek:

I also need to find one 5 point cache tomorrow morning to make a nice round 200 points.

I have notebooks all over the place. You know the puzzle solving is serious when you have spreadsheets :)) I’m waiting for another one to be published.

Ooo, spreadsheets!

I popped up the road for a quick 5 points but it wasn’t there! So I headed further up the road for another which I eventually found. Should have taken 20 minutes actually took an hour. All because I couldn’t leave it on 195 points!
