Geocaching

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.

Your cluedo one is impressive! Good drawing.

[Texaco Shirley]

Thank you. It was fun to do, L thought it was hilarious when I talked him through it.

[Cerise]

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.

[Texaco Shirley]

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

[Cerise]

That’s what I thought. I’ll try.

[Texaco Shirley]

Which cache is it?

[Cerise]

GC19EQ3

The title translates to the RAF motto.

[Texaco Shirley]

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

[Cerise]

Yes! They are squadron crests. Yay! Thanks!

[Texaco Shirley]

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.

[Texaco Shirley]

Yay!

[Cerise]

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

[Texaco Shirley]

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!

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

[Texaco Shirley]

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.

[Cerise]

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!
