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.

Re: Geocaching
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.

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

Re: Geocaching
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! Thanks for the prompts.

Re: Geocaching
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.

Re: Geocaching
I have cracked open a new notebook for solving puzzles!
I also need to find one 5 point cache tomorrow morning to make a nice round 200 points.

Re: Geocaching
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.

Re: Geocaching
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!
