01 Jan 2021 | AT | GL13F3GQV | Aoraki Thalamorph | Found it | Wicm | Our New Year's Day walk - joined the hoardes for the walk up to Hooker Lake. Well, far fewer hoardes than normal, we hear, but still quite busy. The weather forecast for later in the day wasn't very good so we started as early as possible (as early as possible for New Year's Day!). The mountain was clear as we arrived; cloud gathered later in the morning and swirled around the peaks. Luckily it mostly hung around Mt Sefton and stayed reasonably clear of Aoraki/Mt Cook so we got good views as we walked.
The view here was probably the worst of the trip, with a big dark cloud encroaching from the west. Unfortunately the photos didn't really show how awesome it looked due to the lack of contrast.
Found this quickly be following the hint exactly ???? - TFTC |

It was chilly but a pleasant walk with a number of caches found, mostly new but some previously found - Mini F and LittleMissF signed these.
I found this cache in May 2018. Busy here today but all fine and dry. Not found in 3 days short of two years but all in good shape here. Signed on behalf of Mini F and LittleMissF.

Finally got round to picking up Rally Round puzzles (and a few others competing for space) - many solved so many years ago. A beautiful part of the world and a splendid misty eerie day to be out alone.

Thanks to Mr Crow for all those Blue ?s on the map.. Hopefully a few yellow happy smiley faces represents some vain resistance to your evil puzzling.
There are some DNFs. I wanted to balance getting round In fading light.. I will though be back

DNF - The first detour off the roads and onto hard icy footpath. Sadly this one is linked to a load more and so very disappointed not to find. Spent too long scrambling around in the end and had to move on. |

DNF - The puzzle was right up my strasse but the find wasn't. Had the clue solved and spent far too long here exploring every possibility. Had to give up in the end and make do with some wonderful photos of the alien goblet rising up rom the mist.

DNF - Given the other polycache multi's were out of scope due to not founding the first I had brighter hopes for this one. I made my way up the rock solid mud to this nice little spot and then scrambled around again like a complete amateur. Not using my trusty GARMIN doesnt really help and i think the i-phone may have contributed to not knowing quite where to do the more serious poking around. Left disconsolate. |

#2 - A welcome relief to find my first Rally Round puzzle. The puzzle was completed years ago and whilst a simple one; i'm still not quite sure how I solved it looking back today. The find though was made simpler due to it being a little exposed. I made sure it was more secure when I left. |

#7 - Loved these puzzles and very happy to find the cache here. The cache was open (ie no lid) but the bag was well sealed and in good order. It was left in the open so covered it subtly. |

#16 - A great fun puzzle but still not quite sure what the theme is in real life. Took me a while.. Had a very muddy trudge across a field of clay to get this and back which left me 3 stone heavier.. Easy find at GZ and all in place.

#10 - You could argue whether I found this or not, but saw where the cache should be and could see the log although couldn't reach it. Mr Crow if you look down you will also see it and may want to bring a tool for maintenance. I enjoyed the puzzle and am logging it and can come back and do due diligence on log next time.

18 Feb 2021 | RR263 | GL13Q0ACJ | RR263 - Unusual Puzzle Cache | Found it | gillywig | Sooooooo long in the solving. I realised what I had to do but just couldn't. I have returned to it many times and despite a nudge a while back, still made no progress. A message about another RallyRound and during the correspondence my thoughts regarding the solve were confirmed. So with lockdown time on hand I ploughed through and collected more than enough data. What followed was a reasonable start then it all went 'Pete Tong/Ray wRong'. Further days passed and as the Northing weren't going anywhere I decided to attack the Eastings. I felt I had them sorted but was unsure, so I I messaged my previous correspondent asking if he could confirm my Eastings. With a minor correction to a digit I was unhappy about, I now had the necessary. Now it was just a case of returning to the tried and trusted conjecture. (... and I should have guessed) I felt detailed pace notes necessary but it was a GE alignment that took me where I needed to be, and even then, an unsure delve into the dark and damp.
Always a pleasure to sign a Rally Round. Thanks FTC&P. |

I parked 120m up the road and walked back to GZ. A number of potential hiding spots, but I found it in the second place I searched. TFTC. |
... | RR109 | GL13W4T3J | RR109 - When I'm 64 ... (2) | Found it | nathanjhunt | #5222: Solved 04/01/2021. I'd spent years looking at the previous cache but it never clicked as how to solve it. Today I looked at the Mk II cache, and I managed to get it straight away. Big fan of that band, so I'm glad to get it solved finally. Although I prefer a bit of Abbey Road over Sgt P.
Today I had a bit of daylight after dropping my girlfriend off at work, so took a small diversion to find this one.
I was quite excited to be here really, as a previous cache in this location was my 100th cache find nearly 6 years ago! I initially dived in a little too deep, and spent a few minutes searching for the illusive cache. It ended up being very obvious, but unfortunately I couldn't sign the log - the winter hasn't been good on it and the container and baggy were both swimming in water (photo attached).
After placing back, I backed out of the bush just as a jogger was coming by. A little awkward! TFTC. ___ This is my 243rd Jasmer Grid filled - November 2020. |

No problems finding a way in and as it’s still early in the year it wasn’t too overgrown so we soon found ourselves at the GZ. We were definitely at the right place but there was no sign of the cache. We even scouted the surrounding area in case the local wildlife had “relocated†it. No dice! |

... | RR080 | GL14PQVD8 | RR080(2) - TTTTTTTT | Found it | grinning_buddha | FTF 8 T's? Classically there are five styles: white, green, oolong, black and pu-erh. (In Japan they count more than 20. ) Binnie Hale liked five nice cups (morning, half past eleven, dinner, tea, bed). But I think the answer must lie in another song lyric, with multiplication understood: T 4 2 and 2 4 T clearly produce 8 Ts (twice over) as required. Anyway, inspired by the Mad Hatter's T Party (just Tzing ) and following a meticulous process of induction, deduction, experimentation, ambition, distraction, uglification and derision I finally extracted the coordinates. Even though it meant I missed my T, I set out straight away after solving. Finding this cache at night might be quite spooky, as GZ is currently guarded by an object which flashes lights if you get too close, though it's probably not a permanent fixture. Once I'd recovered from that, I achieved a nice quick find and discovered a blank log just waiting to be signed. 'T' FTC and a favourite for yet another smiling face in the Tiptree Triangle. |
30 May 2021 | CC | GL14PX0CZ | Crow's Cawlumn | Found it | weebiloobil | A tip: you may wish to do this cache when there is less foliage around. Also it is a lot easier to access with a slight bit of trespass into a conservation area. Make sure you get the right tree! TFTC |

... | DC | GL14PWVD0 | Dryhen Cackles | Found it | weebiloobil | Like other finders, I also made a silly mistake involving 1 and I.
I was puzzled as to why this wasn't a multi, but having seen how old this cache is, I guess multis weren't a thing back then.

31 May 2021 | CM8482 | GL14QG3W7 | Church Micro 848 - All Saints, Great Braxted (2) | Found it | T247 | Find 1504. Day 34 of streak. I decided to come out this way to place two trackables that I’ve had for a while, and as one needs to get to Canada, the further West the better!
This was my first choice for a suitable cache. A quick find here after walking up from the gates. Unfortunately, the cache was not large enough to fit one of my trackables in, so I left the other to continue its journey from here and went back to the car to plan an alternative. The cache here was in good condition.

... | LW1 | GL14QG3XM | GC1 - Rose 1 | Found it | T247 | Find 1506. Day 34 of streak. I decided to come out this way to place two trackables that I’ve had for a while, and as one needs to get to Canada, the further West the better!
I parked in a lay-by a little walk from GZ and stumbled through the woods, hoping that this cache would be big enough and dry enough to place the Mars Rover TB. Not as far towards an airport as I would have liked but hopefully someone will pick it up and move it on soon.
The cache was excellent! Good to see a well sized cache and well waterproofed. I signed the log, placed the TB to continue its journey and camouflaged the the cache.
Mission Accomplished

And to make matters worst I kept forgetting the save button ???? 2hours later I had the last piece but it wouldn’t go in ???? Then I realised another piece wasn’t in correctly Swapped them over and bingo some co ords I also hadn’t FTFs a Crow cache in yonks So off I went to find the cache Soon arrived and my heart sank looks like a trail in grass Thankfully it was Crows Soon had the cache in hand n signed clean log A fun puzzle n nice hide Gets a Frav from me Signed log TFTC |
... | RR279 | GL14V50WJ | RR279 - Introducing JigSwore | Found it | T247 | Find 1520. Day 43 of streak. I woke up unexpectedly early today and so decided to take a look at the Mr Crow cache that was published yesterday evening. I needs to grab a daily cache today and I am trying to improve my woeful tally of Multis and Mysteries. I have never gone for an FTF in a Mr Crow cache before and it was something I was looking forward to, as the Maldon to Tollesbury Essex 100 series was my first introduction to geocaching. I opened the puzzle page.
I found out that it was much easier to solve the puzzle using an actual computer rather than a phone or tablet. Once this was realised, I methodically began working my way through this well named cache. Ultimately, it didn’t take too long to solve (just over an hour) as I got quite lucky with some of the pieces I left until last. I plugged in the revealed coordinates and set off for the cache.
After a fairly trouble free trip to the cache, I arrived at GZ. Immediately, I spotted what appeared to be a cacher’s trail and my heart sank as I saw my hopes of an FTF fade. Perhaps it was just Mr Crow placing the cache?
I approached the likely location and had a look. An object caught my eye as likely camouflage and I gently moved it aside to reveal the cache! I opened the log, hoping, despite myself, that it was blank. It wasn’t.
It was clearly a late night for the FTF. I signed just below and got back in the car.
Thanks for the cache Mr Crow. I’ll have to work faster to be in with a chance of FTF it seems!
Fave for the evil variation. |

So it was with trepidation that I finally embarked on JigiSwore. However I was pleased to see rotation had been implemented. However mirror image was an evil addition, and straight sides [O:] Unperturbed I battled on whilst watching US Open. Once started I found it quiet pleasurable and only the sky posed any great problem. It did help that the pieces were not square.
Spooky driving up to GZ after staring at the picture for so long. Quick find , signed and returned. Not sure how the vertically challenged will get this cache ?

The puzzle was interesting and required a methodical approach. On completion it only clicked. (I know exactly where that is).

... | RR280 | GL152CN5C | RR280 - Mr Crow | Found it | gillywig | Now I recall its predecessor, a trad with a twist. When arriving (Jan 2012) I realised why the 'puzzle' element was included. I recall working the way through until being able to sign the log. So when this newer version appeared I looked at the cache page notes of RR080 and although something useful was there I had no idea how or why. The other day I reread the verse and a couple of words jogged the memory. I now knew how to solve. Even then all the required letters were not immediatly forthcoming. No worries I thought I should be able to guess. Making an assumption, which happily was correct, meant I could have hit the checker multiple times but fortunatly I saw half of what was still required. Sometimes the formula offers more than the 'A must be greater than B' type deduction but here that didn't help and finding the final piece was a surprise.
Solved, it was a case of when to visit. I felt sure it had been signed but not logged so I left it. A call yesterday from infinson about an unrelated matter and I mentioned that I had now solved it. It must have been curiosity as to who if anyone had found it that made me set out this morning. On route I received a call saying it was previously not found! but now was! With no need to rush I still visited and happily signed STF within 30 minutes of infinson.
Thanks Ray and Kitty!! FTC&P.

13 Jul 2021 | RR280 | GL153A8YB | RR280 - Mr Crow | Found it | StratOman | Whenever a cache is reincarnated I refer to my old notes as the puzzle is usually similar. But after reading my notes for RR080 I realised our solution didn't open the lock , I remembered that whilst Dee & I struggled to solve the puzzle again, ATM spotted the lock was broken so we signed the log and ran LOL This has now come back to bit me as I had no idea how to solve RR280. I tried combinations of all the obvious numbers but alas could not please the checker. So a little lateral thinking was required. The method of getting the numbers is nothing new but it took me an age to realise that this was the method. At GZ I was amazed the CO had found an almost identical tree to RR080. The log was quintuple wrapped by various ziplok's & pots, nice to see In fact it was the only bone dry log that I signed today. TFTC |

... | RR080 | GL155JR8Y | RR080(2) - TTTTTTTT | Found it | gillywig | 1. the subtlety of the title was wasted on me. 2. if I never see that chimp again I won't be upset. 3. this is the first time I have found every active rally round.
There was enough in the finders logs to warrant conjecture, or so I thought, then again not really. I eventually found one eighth (or should that be a Tenth) which was a help. The checker stubbornly refused my guesses so the painstakingly slow systematic approached commenced. Typically finding the things I'd guessed, first. 75% complete should have been enough but several more attempts followed before I knew.
Setting out early-ish to avoid the midday sun, I chose a route partly walked before. As the sun beat down I imagined the CO striding ahead in a hooded fleeced top working up a sweat. No need here to work one up, I was already ... glowing(?) I missed the path but happily traversed an easier route until arriving were I needed to be. Unbelievably there was a group of 'workers' nearby seemingly doing nothing and going nowhere. A discrete search revealed nothing hint fitting so a call to a friend to confirm my interpretaion was necessitated. Although correct it's inclination was not as expected. Much vegetation has I'm sure made the task more challenging. Explaning to my semi-inquisitive onlookers that I was looking for the FFP seemed to assure them that I wasn't completely mad. Happily the cache found as soon as the FFP was discovered.
Log signed I chose to return via the intended footpath. A decision I soon began to regret. Pressing on, under the oppressive raison d'être for the nearby installations, I finally made it to something that resembled, something I recalled as once being, a footpath. Then taking as much shade as possible, although further, I returned to where I'd parked.
Thanks Ray [for the Puzzle(?)] for the workout which has hopefully lead to me shedding a few ounces.
Great, as always, to find a Rally Round. |

(despite trying to update the early finds this one had not been) Pleased to say I mananged to solve it this time, stumbling on a couple of stages until the final step lead to the location. (I have no idea why I can't get it through the checker).
Finding was without issues due to the hint. SL just after 1pm TFTC&P.

Having solved their predecessors half a decade ago, I didn't have much hope of remembering the details, nor a detailed solution log, but I did find a partial screenshot of a solution which helped me to cut a few corners. GZ for both was less painful than the cache description suggested: certainly there were brambles underfoot and some nettles, but nothing like the shrubbery density of RR071. Despite the canopy the GPS took me straight to the right locations, where the hinted objects were pretty obvious, and the only fly in the ointment was that I was not the first to have signed the logs.

I still haven't decided whether I prefer to be tormented by JigSwore or the usual jigidis. What I was not expecting was having to solve both kinds. Either I cut and pasted something carelessly, or the checker was having an off day, and I ended up with the "you've solved the first part but there's more, now do this" message from an entirely different RR puzzle. (I thought those * pictures looked familiar ). So it's not surprising that I ended up at the GZ of a different cache, and couldn't relate what I was seeing to the hide or to other people's logs . Once that was sorted out, the real GZ fitted the hint (and indeed the jigsaw) and (unlike some ) I had no difficulty reaching the heights. TFTC. |

Unfortunately, in those days we kept few notes, so I did not have the original coordinates. Due to Covid I'm now caching solo, so I rolled up my sleeves and tried to solve unaided. It was an ideal puzzle to solve whilst watching the test match.
I bumped into Gillywig at GZ who still had Rebecca to pick up. Despite the warnings it was a relatively pain free find. TFTC

As ftf had almost certainly gone I decided to finish solving it properly. This done I discovered in a round about way, why I was failing the checker. (Don't stop at the penultimate stage!) Heading south once more for a few caches. Here I bumped into StratOman and after he found its sister, he accompanied me GPS/app free to the hide. No issues: initial pacing followed by a good hint. SL, all good here. Thanks Ray FTC&P enjoyed them more second time around. |

... | RR117 | GL15HF62M | RR117 - I've Got A Trike | Found it | jollyquest | Mr J. spent hours and hours trying to find analyse differences between the images. He did find some, but they weren't the ones that led to the solution. For that, thanks for the nudge from Ray. All good at the GZ. Cache resuscitation. |
... | RR184 | GL15HF7DA | RR184 - Unobtainable | Found it | jollyquest | Two lockdowns later and we are back at the cache site again. This time we had the benefit of an extra location hint from the CO. All is well with the cache. Have a FP for a puzzle which has challenged us ever since it was published. |
... | RR218 | GL15HEBPH | RR218 - Disdyakis Triacontahedron | Didn't find it | jollyquest | We couldn't make sense of the location hint. There's rubbish, hawthorn and bramble at the GZ. Not a pleasant location. We did find a curious item. An insulated mug wrapped up in a black sock - but that wasn't the cache! |
... | RR229 | GL15HFFGN | RR229 - Thorn & Tesa | Found it | jollyquest | I knew this puzzle could be solved using trigonometry, but that it wouldn't be easy. Picked up the puzzle after putting it aside over a year ago. I have now come to terms with chords, segments, sectors and sagittas. The approach to the cache was across a field we have crossed before in search of Mr Crow caches. (no blueberries) Camo bag has rotted but everything else is fine. It's not worth replacing as muggles don't pass this way (another cache resuscitation) |
... | RR254 | GL15HEDC0 | RR254 - Goal Rush | Found it | jollyquest | Goal plodding would have been a better description. It took two weeks of knocking balls round stadiums to finish off the tournament. It was the logic of Won/Draw/Lost/Pts where Mr J had a problem in scoring goals. He had to be taken off the field and Mrs J brought on as substitute. She helped England to score some more goals. Cache resusitation Fave for the puzzle. |
... | RR267 | GL15HE7J3 | RR267 - High/Low | Didn't find it | jollyquest | Mr J. wrote a computer program to give some guidance to the betting, but it still took a lot of goes before getting the green light. At GZ there was unfriendly vegetation and a deep ditch. With no hints to the cache location we gave up early, and moved onto other Rally Round caches. |
... | RR269 | GL15HF364 | RR269 - Decade Decode | Found it | jollyquest | Two Lockdowns later and we are back in Crowland for the first time in ages. This time it was a quick find, in an area we had checked on the previous visit. Sadly, the log was soaked, so we have replaced with a piece of paper. |
... | RR279 | GL15HE57G | RR279 - Introducing JigSwore | Found it | jollyquest | We had the same experience as grinning_buddha. Mrs J. was working her way through RR279 and some how got a link which diverted her onto RR278. She worked her way through the jigsaws until she got the message RR 278 CAN BE FOUND AT N 51 49.abc E 0 42.def. We did retry a link and managed to get the coordinates for RR279 without reworking any jigidis. Quick find at GZ, retrieved by Mr J. of average stature. |

06 Sep 2021 | LW1 | GL15MRAHJ | GC1 - Rose 1 | Found it | kareninwb | I have been meaning to do Rose and George’s caches for ages and decided today was the day to go and look for them. Having recently hurt my knee I was looking for a walk that wasn’t too taxing. It was a very hot day but the trees offered some shade.
Off to the final cache of the walk. I could hear the noise from the road as I got close. A small diversion from the path to get to GZ but with the hint it was obvious where I needed to head. Great hiding place for this large container. Rare to find one of these with most of the recently placed caches!
Walked back to the car via the main path and a short walk along the road.
Thanks for the hide, Rose. My first walk in Layer Wood! Have a favourite point. |
... | LW2 | GL15MR9P0 | GC2 - George 1 | Found it | kareninwb | I have been meaning to do Rose and George’s caches for ages and decided today was the day to go and look for them. Having recently hurt my knee I was looking for a walk that wasn’t too taxing. It was a very hot day but the trees offered some shade.
Onto the third cache of the day. Had to leave the path to get to GZ but once at the listed coordinates the cache was soon found.
Thanks for the hide, George. |
... | LW3 | GL15MR8VG | GC3 - George 2 | Found it | kareninwb | I have been meaning to do Rose and George’s caches for ages and decided today was the day to go and look for them. Having recently hurt my knee I was looking for a walk that wasn’t too taxing. It was a very hot day but the trees offered some shade.
Having found ‘Rose2’, I set off for ‘George2’. On my way to the joining of the two paths I say another main track to the right which seemed to be a short cut and so took that. As a result, I approached GZ from the opposite direction but not too much trouble getting there. However, finding the cache took me ages – it was so nearly a DNF!
The Phone GPS had me going back and forth, and after a good 15 minutes I decided the only option was to search every tree methodically. Eventually spotted some stickouflage and that led to the well concealed container.
Now to get onto the main path and find the remaining two caches. Thanks for the hide, George. This one was the hardest of the 4. |
... | LW4 | GL15MR8D5 | GC4 - Rose 2 | Found it | kareninwb | I have been meaning to do Rose and George’s caches for ages and decided today was the day to go and look for them. Having recently hurt my knee I was looking for a walk that wasn’t too taxing. It was a very hot day but the trees offered some shade. Parked at the given coordinates and as there seemed to be a path from there, I set off into the wood. This was a mistake! The path petered out after a couple of hundred yards and I found myself wading through ferns and brambles to get to the marked path. At one point I got foot caught in a bramble and fell flat on the ground – a couple of bruises sustained! Once on the right footpath I was soon at GZ.
I passed two horse riders on the way, but they were the only people I saw whilst in the woods. I searched on the wrong side of the path at first (the phone reception was quite bad), but once it had settled, I relocated and soon found what I was looking for. Loved the camo tape!
Thanks for the hide, Rose. |
... | RR025 | GL15MRGDT | RR025 (2) - Caroline | Found it | kareninwb | Decided to have a look at the the two new RRs (Caroline and Rebecca). One the cache page was open and the link to the first stage opened I remembered the MO from the Caroline (Version 1). I didn't start the puzzle until quite late in the evening and realised after the first few stages that I probably needed to complete it in one go! It actually took me nearly 3 hours! I couldn't get the checker to accept the coordinates I'd worked out from the information at final stage but decided to go with the location I had.
Pleased to find the cache without any difficulty. Some prior knowledge and familiarity with the local area certainly helped.
Thanks for the puzzle and the hide, Mr Crow. |
08 Sep 2021 | RR025 | GL15M446D | RR025 (2) - Caroline | Found it | greysman | Solved shortly after being published. I like this type especially when a bit of local knowledge is required.

15 Sep 2021 | CM1292 | GL15P0RC1 | Church Micro 1292 - Tolleshunt Knights - Annexe | Found it | The Haywood Hornet | Solving the puzzle took me a little time. The cache was almost where I initially looked but it was another 5 minutes before I actually found it. |
... | CM570 | GL15NZDZ9 | Church Micro 570...Tiptree - St Lukes | Found it | The Haywood Hornet | I parked opposite and came over for a quick find, after a short chat to a lady out walking her dog. I wonder if this cache is ever going to be registerred as a Church Micro cache? |
... | LW1 | GL15P1JC4 | GC1 - Rose 1 | Found it | rnorms | Found All in order |
16 Sep 2021 | CM2243 | GL15P86HC | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Didn't find it | mallykay | A lengthy search here but we couldn’t find it. |
... | VS959 | GL15P35AB | VS #959 - Kelvedon | Found it | OrientGeo | A good multi cache. The numbers were gathered simply and the maths was not too daunting. A short walk later we were fortunate enough to make a swift find. |
... | VS959 | GL15P5ZRJ | VS #959 - Kelvedon | Found it | caskhunter | After acquiring all the relevant numbers we were soon on the trail for this potentially difficult find , but that was unfounded as I soon discovered this camouflage cache very quickly. |
30 Sep 2021 | 1111 | GL15TK6G7 | 1-1-11 (Bridge) | Found it | tonyburton | Tucked away behind the nettle defence - very pink! |
... | 1111-4 | GL15TK7PF | 11-11-11 (A12) | Found it | tonyburton | Great location - if you can hear me above the roar |
03 Oct 2021 | LW1 | GL15VED8Q | GC1 - Rose 1 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Came to these woods in summer to find ROCKY ROAD and determined that I would come back on a fine day to find Rose and George's caches. After a dismal Saturday, and recovering from a recent cold, when the sun came out today I thought it might be time to take a drive to Tiptree and have a little bit of fresh air while hunting these down. All nice chunky caches, with plenty of goodies inside, and very accurate coordinates despite the tree cover, always a pleasing feature of any cache associated with Mr Crow. Managed to find them all. 4/4. Most impressive hide, and container, of the day. Don't see so many of these any more. Not difficult to spot the location, but made sure to cover well after signing. A delightful walk and worth a fav point for this one. Thanks, Rose, George and Mr Crow! TFTC #4493 |
... | LW2 | GL15VEC5R | GC2 - George 1 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Came to these woods in summer to find ROCKY ROAD and determined that I would come back on a fine day to find Rose and George's caches. After a dismal Saturday, and recovering from a recent cold, when the sun came out today I thought it might be time to take a drive to Tiptree and have a little bit of fresh air while hunting these down. All nice chunky caches, with plenty of goodies inside, and very accurate coordinates despite the tree cover, always a pleasing feature of any cache associated with Mr Crow. Managed to find them all. 3/4. Terrain a little more challenging to get to this one from the path. However, pleased to see that all the brambles have died - must've been even harder a couple of months ago! Once again, the GPS took me to exactly the right spot and once I'd removed the somewhat impressive 'stopper' from the hole, I could pull out the chunky cache. TFTC #4492 |
... | LW3 | GL15VEAXD | GC3 - George 2 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Came to these woods in summer to find ROCKY ROAD and determined that I would come back on a fine day to find Rose and George's caches. After a dismal Saturday, and recovering from a recent cold, when the sun came out today I thought it might be time to take a drive to Tiptree and have a little bit of fresh air while hunting these down. All nice chunky caches, with plenty of goodies inside, and very accurate coordinates despite the tree cover, always a pleasing feature of any cache associated with Mr Crow. Managed to find them all. 2/4. Found a good track to get me within about 40m of GZ then headed into the trees. The log from my experienced caching friend who was the previous visitor suggested that this could be a tricky search, but I trusted the GPS and that led me straight to a suitable hide, with stickoflage concealing another nice cache.

... | LW4 | GL15VE8BX | GC4 - Rose 2 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Came to these woods in summer to find ROCKY ROAD and determined that I would come back on a fine day to find Rose and George's caches. After a dismal Saturday, and recovering from a recent cold, when the sun came out today I thought it might be time to take a drive to Tiptree and have a little bit of fresh air while hunting these down. All nice chunky caches, with plenty of goodies inside, and very accurate coordinates despite the tree cover, always a pleasing feature of any cache associated with Mr Crow. Managed to find them all. 1/4. Wasn't sure whether to take a direct route through the trees from the layby where I'd parked or seek out a pathway. Luckily, the pathway was only a few steps away, and was definitely the best option. Made my way to GZ, along tracks already becoming squelchy after yesterday's downpours. Circled around a bit, hunting in suitable spots, but the GPS brought me back nearer the path and when I spotted what looked like it might be camo, I was able to make the find. TFTC #4490 |

15 Oct 2021 | SA | GL15Y7KJ3 | Steve and Angie | Found it | megz63 | What a nice mystery and what a special location. We enjoyed both and leave a heart.
Muito obrigado por esta geocache. Cumprimentos de Schleswig-Holstein (Alemanha). |
16 Oct 2021 | RR279 | GL160046J | RR279 - Introducing JigSwore | Didn't find it | kareninwb | This one took me an insane amount of time to solve - 3 hours and 3 minutes! Despite that I sort of enjoyed it!
Hoped to find it today. Arrived at GZ and realised I was probably in the right place. Spent a good thirty minutes looking but failed to find the cache. Resorted to a PAF to check I was looking in the correct area and at the right level, and I was. Back for another look but just nothing there.
I am pretty certain this is missing. Please Mr Crow would you check on it when you are passing by. Thank you. |
17 Oct 2021 | RR274 | GL15ZT7GV | RR274 - Onedrous Numbers 2 | Found it | kareninwb | Struggled with Onedrous Numbers 1 despite having a good idea of what I needed to do. Eventually stumbled on something on line that would help. Decided to look for this one today as I was heading home from Stanway. No problems with the hide, although I I was distracted by something on the other side of the path before realising where I needed to be looking. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide, Mr Crow. |
22 Oct 2021 | RR026 | GL16005YM | RR026 (2) - Rebecca | Found it | kareninwb | Solved this one and Caroline a little while back. Picking up some local produce nearby and on impulse decided to look for this one. i wasn't really suitably dressed and that became more evident as I headed in. lots of squelchy mud and pools of water. I imagine this will only get worse as the we get closer to winter.
The GPS was very jumpy and even with the hint it took me a while to find what I was looking for. About to give it when I spotted somewhere I'd missed. Pleased to discover the cache there.
Thanks for the puzzle and the hide, Mr Crow. Have a favourite point. |
... | RR273 | GL160078T | RR273 - Onedrous Numbers 1 | Didn't find it | kareninwb | Solved a while back along with number 2 of the Onedrous numbers. The final location wasn't quite so 'onederful'. Spent a long time searching lots of possible hiding places. Got caught on brambles and ripped my shirt. Also managed a two inch gash to my hand! Just couldn't find it!
Gutted! |

Got up nice and early to beat the average weather that was meant to roll in later on and I'm glad I did. Got picture perfect views of Aoraki the whole way along, and no crowds, so perfect for grabbing caches along the way. Tftc. |

One of my roles as a reviewer is to monitor the Eastern England region for caches that have been disabled for two months or more.
It would appear that this cache may benefit from some attention by the Cache Owner. May I ask that you check the cache and sort out any problems with it or give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.
If this cannot be done or if you no longer wish to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.
If the Cache Owner has visited the cache recently, then please post an Owner Maintenance log indicating that you have done so. You can then enable the listing and all should be fine.
In the future, if a listing is going to be disabled for a long time, then posting periodic notes to the page (once per month or so) keeps people up to date with what is happening.
This isn't a requirement to fix the cache immediately but if it's unlikely to be done within 30 days could the Cache Owner post a note to the cache page giving an indication of when the maintenance will be done, or an indication of why it cannot be carried out.
Sadly if there is no response to this log after 30 days I will have to archive the cache.
Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived. Here is the link to the relevant part of the guidelines [Ownership after publication](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56).

28 Nov 2021 | CF03 | GL1673A9E | Conyfield Wood - 3 | Didn't find it | thewoodgates | Came to the woods for the first time to walk our puppy with the intention of finding this cache and completing a Wonders of the World section for a souvenir . Best laid plans ! We enjoyed our walk through the woods on this very cold but dry day but as for the cache, we failed . I thought I knew where it must be and what it probably was, but we couldn’t find it. The souvenir will have to wait. Will be back. |

04 Dec 2021 | TTALC | GL167WR7T | Tiptree Tour Adventure Lab Cache Bonus | Found it | Mathsnut | #3200 Somehow, I had reached the last weekend for the current souvenir and was worried that I wasn't going to quite get close enough. I had a planned expedition with the gang to attempt a night cache, but was worried that we might not find it. So I searched for somewhere convenient to cache on the way, and noticed this Adventure Lab series. As they are a great way to earn bonus points and less likely to go missing, I set off early and parked at the recommended coordinates. It was pretty chilly out, so I walked briskly between the various points, but was pleased to find all of the locations and answers without any difficulty. At GZ for this bonus, there were quite a few options matching the hint, but my caching instinct selected the obvious one and, after a brief battle with the prickly shrubbery, I had the cache in my hand. Thanks for an interesting tour. TFTC |
