... | E412 | GLD2G6WZ | Essex 100 - 4/12 - Fleet | Found it | HollynCharlie | As I was home alone for a few days I decided to get these caches off the map as they'd been there way to long. It seems a long long time ago we did the original walk in the baking sunshine. So this was the first of the add-ons. I thought I'd have to park at the top of Old Hall Lane as the RSPB carpark used to be reserved for members only. As i got my boots on a local asked if I was off to the marshes to which i replied yes. They told me the carpark was open to all which was great news as it saved me a mile walk to get to the path. So as the began to set I wandered off. I'd forgotten how a mile as the crow flies turns into 2 on the windy coast path. Quick find at GZ and on to the next. TFTC |
... | E415 | GLD2G778 | Essex 100 - 4/15 - Downstairs | Found it | HollynCharlie | You could see how high the water level had come along here with it obviously going over the sea wall in places. Lovely clear night and great views of Mersea on the way to this. Quick find. TFTC |
... | E417 | GLD2G7PX | Essex 100 - 4/17 - Upstairs | Found it | HollynCharlie | Last one on the marshes. Pitch dark now but lovely to walk listening to the birds. Quick find here. Decided I may as well carry on along this side all the way back so I ended up walking the entire sea wall. Glad they're off the map. TFTC |
... | RR060 | GLD2HTH6 | RR060 - Crow-No-Logical | Found it | greysman | Solved the puzzle after a nudge from Mr.Crow and finding the correct programme to help with the solution. Very wet along the path to GZ but all is well with it.
Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. Left Duck Key Ring to journey on.
TFTC, and the hint. |
... | TMT02 | GLD2G9JB | Tolleshunt Major Tour 2 | Found it | teamhenry81 | So our second attempt for this trail and the weather was sunny, mild and not rainy/stormy so an improvement on a couple of days back.
Omg this was a sneaky one and my jeans just had to get muddy for this one! Glad no one was nearby to watch my gymnastics lol kids thought mummy had gone mad with this one :) tftc |
... | TMT03 | GLD2G9XT | Tolleshunt Major Tour 3 | Found it | teamhenry81 | Easy find with the clue. Much easier to retrieve than number 2! Tftc |
... | TMT04 | GLD2GA6H | Tolleshunt Major Tour 4 | Found it | teamhenry81 | Lots of options here but the rusty one held the clue. Tftc |
... | TMT05 | GLD2GAZ9 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 5 | Found it | teamhenry81 | Walking from 4 to 5 caused us trouble as the fields were extremely muddy and we took the wrong way and then nearly the wrong side of the water. Finally got to it and TH81 son found the tub with delight. Tftc |
... | TMT06 | GLD2GC0Y | Tolleshunt Major Tour 6 | Found it | teamhenry81 | Found this quickly thanks to the clue. Thankfully not many stingers. Tftc |
... | TMT07 | GLD2GE8X | Tolleshunt Major Tour 7 | Didn't find it | teamhenry81 | Well by this point the kids were a bit grumpy (aged 5 and 3) and trying to keep them safe by the road and not fall in the ditch was a bit too much for us to handle. Thought we would find this quickly as we found 6 easily but I did a quick scan and nothing. Had we looked harder we would have found it I'm sure but the traffic was too heavy and a white van close by was just staring at us too much! |
... | TMT08 | GLD2GEY9 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 8 | Found it | teamhenry81 | The children love finding tubs for swappable things. My daughter I think took a horse toy ( from this cache or #5). Think they left a marble! Tftc |
... | TMT09 | GLD2GGE6 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 9 | Didn't find it | teamhenry81 | Boo hoo we just couldn't find this one. Too many prickles to contend with and a long gate to search. As the kids were fed up by now, we decided to leave it hidden. |
... | TMT10 | GLD2GJV4 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 10 | Didn't find it | teamhenry81 | Met a couple of dog walkers on this road which made the find hard. Once they had passed, we attempted to hurdle the river under the tree without falling in. Unfortunately this was too deep and I just couldn't grab anything without landing in the water...damn those heavy rain showers! Had to pass on this even though I'm sure I spotted it. |
... | TMT11 | GLD2GNNF | Tolleshunt Major Tour 11 | Didn't find it | teamhenry81 | We really needed this one after not finding the last 2 but alas we couldn't find it. Being a tub we thought it would easy but we just looked at the chicken coup wire gap and thought "no way are we putting our hand down there!" Had a brief try and even on hands and knees (more muddy jeans) but no joy. :( |
... | TMT12 | GLD2GRQW | Tolleshunt Major Tour 12 | Found it | teamhenry81 | Relief! After not finding the last 3, it was a relief to find this one easily and quickly. Trail done...8 out of 12 on the trial done now! Thanks for the trail...maybe we should have waited for warmer weather and dry conditions. Can imagine this trail is beautiful when fields are in bloom. Total of 3 hours in heavy muddy fields with two young children was a challenge but we did it! Kids were treated to a much deserved meal afterwards with ice cream (in January!) and diet cola as a treat lol trust me...they needed the pick me up!Tftc and the trail. |
03 Jan 2014 | E402 | GLD2NCV7 | Essex 100 - 4/02 - Marsh | Found it | Square_Wheels | Third find of 2014 for me! Went for a walk along the sea wall on a glorious day and found a few of this series.

... | RR099X | GLD2TFPE | RR099 - A Big Number | Found it | mel-ray | 19648 (65/65)
We took a drive through Colchester for some local caching. Explored new areas and revisited some old cache hides. Overall it was a good outing, discovered a miniature railway, a few good cache hides, a hand full of church micros and the supermarkets also provide good cover for when it rain. We replaced a wet log or two, but after the recent rain majority of micro logs were damp or wet. At the end we bumped into Chequerdog, giving us a much needed hint. A big thanks to Murrkin for his much appreciated help.
Thanks to Mr Crow & T4T$ |

04 Jan 2014 | CN | GLD30EQN | Crow's Nest | Found it | SeaKing Hunters | Came back after my unsucessful find on New Year's Day ! Had saved cache to an off line list ages ago and did not have the correct code for padlock. Armed with the correct code as mr crow had kindly e-mailed me we got in. My son left one of our tbs that recently travelled to Lapland and we took two to help them move on in the winter. Thank you and sure we might be back if we need to place a tb in the future - lovely big cache ! |
... | E101 | GLD33MQB | Essex 100 - 1/01 - Bus | Found it | Kitty!! | # 4920 The day wasn't as wet as the BBC had predicted so I took advantage and joined the Crow on a maintenance tour of the Essex 100 - 1 series. The coastal section was incredibly windy but as always a pleasure to walk along. The inland stretch provided a sharp contrast in terrain but was equally enjoyable. Whilst the caches were all excellent I have to admit that the highlight of the walk was being treated by the CO to a luxury coffee stop at the Salty Dog Tearooms in Goldhanger. Cappuccino with scone, jam and clotted cream. I wondered why he has cachers queuing up to join him on maintenance tours - now I know! 13:42 1/17 13/18 Reinvigorated by the treat at the Salty Dog this was a quick find. Think we replaced the log here. TFTC |

... | E220 | GLD2YD6A | Essex 100 - 2/20 - Lopped | Found it | Denbymist | After my recent find at 2/22, and feeling like I could find anything, I thought I would give this another go, especially as others have found it since the last time I was here. I stood on the opposite side of the road, let the GPS settle down and thought, "It should be there". Walked over to that spot and, it was. I could not believe how quickly I found it, after all the searching I did last time I was here. I was glad to sign the log, as I have now completed the Goldhanger East Series. TFTC. and I will leave my favourite point for the series here. |
... | E222 | GLD2YA46 | Essex 100 - 2/22 - Gorge-ous | Found it | Denbymist | I had not planned to go far to-day, so I had plenty of time to give this a better search than the last time I was here when I had to log a DNF. I started at one end and meticulously searched every square inch until I found it. It was a real pleasure to sign this one. TFTC. |
... | RR098 | GLD3Z0VT | RR098 - Essex Cachers | Found it | julietr4 | At last this one is solved after picking it up time and time again but getting no-where. So simple when you know how! Thanks Ray for the clue. When we reached GZ we were sure the log inside would be wet as the container was buried in mud and goo, very pleased to say though it is bone dry. Another great puzzle worth a favourite. SL TFTC #1,691 |

I did manage to get there though, and once I had, the anagram became apparent. I entered my numbers into the checker and got a correct. At this point I was still unsure what the field puzzle element might be. I found the cache quite quickly on Saturday morning, still no sign of a field puzzle, then... OMG.... , its brilliant. SL.TFTC, and left one of my latest pathtags. I've got to leave a favourite point for this one. |

The themes will be covered in the presentation and there will be examples in the competition. So you really won't have any excuse to avoid converting five ?s on the map to smiley faces.

05 Jan 2014 | 1111-2 | GLD3F8QG | 11-1-11 (Stairs) | Found it | mustertherohirrim | I found myself doing a Gollum impression by the Ike I got to this one - small people will do well here!! Great cache, TFTC |

06 Jan 2014 | RR088 | GLD3TK4C | RR088 - a-Crow-phobia | Found it | StratOman | Had an idea on this one so passed it on to my mapping friends Deebooted & ATM who soon had the co-ordinates. Please add something by finding the cache . TFTC |
... | RR088 | GLD3VPKN | RR088 - a-Crow-phobia | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Those pesky little crows get everywhere and even places you didn't realise existed. StratOman is no map man so we rescued him with this one. Fairly soon managed a nice list and the rest fell into place quite quickly. A favourite for finding all those places named after yourself, you have been busy! StratOman became very useful at GZ as he who has good knees still managed best leap over recent river like ditch! TFTC |
... | RR102 | GLD3TKZM | RR102 - Julian, Greg or Ian? | Found it | StratOman | Another team effort here with Deebooted & ATM. At the location Dee was quickly onto the cache. TFTC. |
... | RR102 | GLD3VGWM | RR102 - Julian, Greg or Ian? | Found it | deebooted & ATM | All three of us inputting here with StratOman winding up the last minute problem. Interesting situation then but we weren't nearly so revolting! TFTC |
... | RR105 | GLD3TN4R | RR105 - As the Crow Flies | Didn't find it | StratOman | When the numbers all came together and gave feasible co-ords on a bridle path I was certain this was correct but the checker said no. Not being deterred I decided to add this to our list of caches for the day with Deebooted & ATM. Alas it looks as though it is back to the drawing board . DNF. |
... | RR105 | GLD3VQ32 | RR105 - As the Crow Flies | Didn't find it | deebooted & ATM | Can't "win em all" and we didn't here, YET. In the words of Arnie "we'll be back" but NOT here! |
... | RR107 | GLD3TNPF | RR107 - Be My Valentine | Found it | StratOman | All credit for this one goes to Dee who not only did the puzzle but snapped up the cache too. TFTC |
... | RR107 | GLD3VHTW | RR107 - Be My Valentine | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Being the sentimental one of our caching team I took this one upon myself to solve with a little bit of paper know how. Having said that it was ATM that found the right method. Once the task was done it all appeared nicely. StratOman just had heartfelt thanks when I found it at GZ. A favourite from us here. TFTC |
... | RR111 | GLD3TPM3 | RR111 - Hole In Tree | Found it | StratOman | I must give full credit to my son Andrew for this one, who looked at it during a Xmas get together. It was Deebooted who spotted a small mistake in the co-ords and finally the checker said yes. My only contribution was finding the cache .... TFTC. |
... | RR111 | GLD3VMX4 | RR111 - Hole In Tree | Found it | deebooted & ATM | We told StratOman what was needed here and he passed it over to his son who had the right tools for the job. StratOman told us the checker said wrong. So whilst he was eating again we had a last minute tweak and the checker did not disappoint. (He admits he can't count!) He came up trumps at GZ again though but thanks Andrew for your time and effort. TFTC |
... | RR120X | GLD3TTDM | RR120 - A Triggy Little Cache | Found it | StratOman | Deebooted's favourite subject, so she was quick of the blocks with this one. Once a small error was spotted we were back on the right track, but how to get the co-ordinates ? Took quiet a while to figure out the last piece of this puzzle. A joint find this time by ATM & myself. TFTC. |
... | RR120X | GLD3VNMB | RR120 - A Triggy Little Cache | Found it | deebooted & ATM | A real joint effort here right through with the last bit to StratOman for his new eye on such subjects. He found something out we didn't know and we reintroduced him to our idols of the countryside once more. All hands to the deck at GZ to find the little blighter. The inside pot was a little damp inside but we mopped it up so should be good for a while. TFTC and a favourite for honouring those little genius chaps that gave our country the best maps in the world before the satallite age. |
... | RR120X | GLD3VQ70 | RR120 - A Triggy Little Cache | Needs Maintenance | deebooted & ATM | This one may need some attention soon. The inside pot was damp within but we have mopped it out so will last for a bit. |
... | RR121 | GLD3TW3M | RR121 - Sequences & Series 100 | Found it | StratOman | What can I say about this puzzle ....... It basically took over several hours of each day for weeks I was a nervous wreck by the time I got to the last go. Very addictive but very frustrating too. Deebooted & ATM were hot on my tail but I just piped them at the finishing post. TFTC |
... | RR121 | GLD3VG9M | RR121 - Sequences & Series 100 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | I will make no comments other than ....... 1. Life is too short! 2. Where did the time go? Perseverance essential! Easy find at GZ & TFTC |
... | RR130 | GLD3TN8V | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Write note | julietr4 | Yay eventually I got there, plenty of pen scribbles along the way but success at last! Favourite point before we even go out to find it |
... | RR130 | GLD3TY3D | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Found it | StratOman | Speed has never been my strong point, especially with 69 year old neuron depleted brain. In fact the only way I managed to finish was to do it first thing in the morning, as I was lucky to get to 80 in the evening ...... Very muddy walk to the find which was made by ATM. Favourite for this one for the original idea. TFTC. |
... | RR130 | GLD3VJGJ | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman soared ahead on this one so we just sat back and watched him get to the finishing line with a win. The clue became clear at GZ where ATM was first to grab. TFTC |
... | RR133 | GLD3V25V | RR133 - Xmash Day | Found it | StratOman | My very first FTF This would have taken a lot longer had it not been for a previous RR puzzle that had given me plenty of practice. Very quickly got onto the scent despite the kippers Debooted came in with a good observation which saved many hours of work and helped with the find. A definite favourite ...

... | RR133 | GLD3VEFZ | RR133 - Xmash Day | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Our "invaluable" input to StratOman on this one was suggestion, support and a reminder of what seemed and should not have been forgotten. As it turned out the later saved many more hours of frustration. Well done StratOman on your very first FTF. At GZ it was appropriate that it would be he who found it too!
An interesting and bewildering puzzle with some very nasty twists. TFTC |
... | RR135 | GLD3V3Y8 | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | StratOman | Never been too keep on this type of puzzle but stuck at it. After wadding through a field Deebooted was quickly onto the cache once we were at GZ. TFTC. |
... | RR135 | GLD3VM97 | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Had a book with these in once. Still got it in prestige condition. Must sell it on ebay! StratOamn to the rescue here. We came into use at GZ after the swim to retrieve it. Took a little pathtag here. Thank you and TFTC |
... | RR136 | GLD3V5G9 | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | StratOman | Beautifully constructed puzzle from the Crow camp. Really enjoyed solving it. Another favourite. Deebooted was first to see the cache once we reached GZ. TFTC. |
... | RR136 | GLD3VFRA | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | deebooted & ATM | I bought a book once with this type of puzzle in and then stuck to Sudokus instead. StratOman reminded me why with this one! At least at GZ we helped! TFTC |
... | RR137 | GLD3V60D | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | StratOman | The Upminster division of the RR caching team can take full credit for this one. Well done Deebooted & ATM , and for Alan for the find .... But then came the best part, the field puzzle where I accidentally made my contribution. Favourite for the laughs we all had. TFTC

... | RR137 | GLD3VKPP | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Couldn't crack the anagram at first with the 111 ? Got on with the sorting out of facts and over did it with data but got a nice list going. Then the penny dropped at exactly what I was looking at. Found the total anagram when I found more data! Lovely one to get your teeth into. I was so excited that when the checker said yes I missed the bit about the field puzzle element. Luckily it all fell into place in StratOmans hands at GZ. Favourite point awarded. TFTC |

... | E110 | GLD44HF5 | Essex 100 - 1/10 - Pub | Found it | Team Edwards UK | took a while to find this one, marching backwards and forwards like a lost soldier, got it in the end then had a wry smile on the drive home when i passed GZ, yep, i know your secret tftc |
... | E113 | GLD44HQ3 | Essex 100 - 1/13 - Rusty | Found it | Team Edwards UK | a genuinely quick find, nice when it happens |
... | E114 | GLD44J4D | Essex 100 - 1/14 - Osea | Found it | Team Edwards UK | ive never really fancied a static caravan but seeing some with a roof terrace on the way to GZ certainley turned my head, cache found after a bit of marching about (again) tftc |

... | E118 | GLD44JZX | Essex 100 - 1/18 - Hawthorn | Found it | Team Edwards UK | clue helped a lot and i learnt something too (cant tell you what, spoilers and all that dont you know) |
... | E119 | GLD44KF1 | Essex 100 - 1/19 - Instep | Found it | Team Edwards UK | glad this cache was where i found it, the alternative was submerged |

... | E121 | GLD44MZ5 | Essex 100 - 1/21 - Channel | Found it | Team Edwards UK | certainly risked life and limb getting to GZ, thats what its all about isnt it lol |
... | E508 | GLD43FZJ | Essex 100 - 5/08 - Salcott | Found it | Hardyhaha | A flying visit to Tollesbury and return via Salcott allowed for the finding of these two caches. [:O)] Found in the company of my sister Lynne, now in peace.

... | RR010 | GLD442ZM | RR010 - 01derful | Found it | Team Edwards UK | I've been struggling with his one on and off for many months, then I had a flash of inspiration and tackled it from another angle and hey presto the coords were good, I found it a little amusing that I'd walked past GZ on the way to another cache TFTC |

10 Jan 2014 | RR135 | GLD4DMV0 | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | HelennTribe | Had been on a maintenance run today and a few caches that had crept onto the map. B had worked out the final coords for this and although I was out of time I thought 'Oh just one more'. Of course this has to be the one where I got wet. I waded my way along the footpath to GZ think I need to invest in Galoshes!! Cache was nice and dry but I wasn't!

... | E410 | GLD4JJ2A | Essex 100 - 4/10 - Stoned | Found it | Stones2005 | 5831 There was a man sitting right near GZ so we didn't think we would be able to look for this one; but luckily he was on his phone and had his back to us so I retrieved it no problem. There was a huge skein of geese flying near here and then they all circled round and landed on the pond - a brilliant sight. TFTC |
... | E412 | GLD4JMTM | Essex 100 - 4/12 - Fleet | Found it | Stones2005 | 5834 Our last one on the marshes, now we have all smiley faces again! TFTC and a fantastic walk. |
... | E415 | GLD4JKFN | Essex 100 - 4/15 - Downstairs | Found it | Stones2005 | 5833 As the tide was out today, there was a little beach near here so we had a walk on the sand and looked at shells. You feel like you have been to the seaside if you walk on the sand! TFTC |
... | E417 | GLD4JJP4 | Essex 100 - 4/17 - Upstairs | Found it | Stones2005 | 5832 Nice long uninterrupted walk before we got to this cache! TFTC |
... | E421 | GLD4JGRP | Essex 100 - 4/21 - Windpump | Found it | Stones2005 | 5830 Diverted down for the two on this path before continuing our way around the marsh. TFTC |
... | E423 | GLD4JG71 | Essex 100 - 4/23 - Gateway | Found it | Stones2005 | 5829 We weren't sure which way we were supposed to be walking for the hint to make sense, so we checked both sides anyway. Found after a few minutes as very well hidden. TFTC |
... | E425 | GLD4JFJ7 | Essex 100 - 4/25 - Brick | Found it | Stones2005 | 5828 As it was a beautiful sunny day today what better place to come than Mr Crow land and in particular Old Hall Marshes. We had a wonderful walk around here three years ago and as there were the odd few caches here now it was the perfect day for a long walk and the chance to take a few photos. We had noticed in Hollyncharlie's log that it was now possible for anyone to park in the car park on the reserve, so we started from there and did 7.6 miles in three hours. Quite muddy in a few places but expected it to be a lot worse. Some of the marshes were quite flooded but did not bother us walking higher up. Quick find here to get us started. TFTC |
... | E504 | GLD4JNY8 | Essex 100 - 5/04 - Gridline | Found it | Stones2005 | 5835 After our walk around Old Hall Marshes we headed for this loop as it is the last of the Essex 100s for us (except for one pesky one near Goldhanger!!) This loop was a lot muddier than the marshes and more hardgoing! Sun still shining. TFTC |
... | E505 | GLD4JPDF | Essex 100 - 5/05 - Kink | Found it | Stones2005 | 5836 There was water in the bottom of the hiding place, so the cache and log are a little damp, but still able to write on. TFTC |
... | E506 | GLD4JPP0 | Essex 100 - 5/06 - Reservoir | Found it | Stones2005 | 5837 I like this style of cache! |
... | E507 | GLD4JPZG | Essex 100 - 5/07 - Turf | Found it | Stones2005 | 5838 No problems here. TFTC |
... | E508 | GLD4JQCA | Essex 100 - 5/08 - Salcott | Found it | Stones2005 | 5839 There were some people following us, so we had to wait for them to go past before we could look where we suspected the cache was. TFTC |
... | E509 | GLD4JQHT | Essex 100 - 5/09 - Mill | Found it | Stones2005 | 5840 Quick find here. TFTC |
... | E511 | GLD4JQYG | Essex 100 - 5/11 - Sward | Found it | Stones2005 | 5841 Nice to walk over proper grass rather than a muddy field. TFTC |
... | E512 | GLD4JRAW | Essex 100 - 5/12 - Bridge | Found it | Stones2005 | 5842 Dave got pronged in the hand while looking for this one. TFTC |
... | E512 | GLD4M1KF | Essex 100 - 5/12 - Bridge | Found it | Denbymist | A lovely day to-day for a walk in the sunshine. I parked in Salcott and headed off. It was a bit soggy underfoot to start with, but when I reached the acres of grass it was fine, didn't even look damp. I got to the stile and crossed into the next field, and keeping to the edge managed to keep out off the mud. After all the rain we have had lately, this walk was not as bad as I was expecting it to be. I'm glad I made the decision to go. If it wasn't for the fact that this was the last cache I needed to complete the Essex 100 I may not have done. I reached GZ and was surprised at how different it looked to the last time I was here. Most of the prickly vegetation had gone, and it looked quite bare. As before, with DNF's I have logged, I found this one very easily this time. I signed the log and left a pathtag. Now for a pleasant walk back the way I came, happy, knowing I have completed the Essex 100. |
... | E513 | GLD4JRXT | Essex 100 - 5/13 - Agape | Found it | Stones2005 | 5843 It was surprisingly busy along this road. Dave got another prickle attached to him here, but luckily this time only to his coat. TFTC |
... | E514 | GLD4JT4F | Essex 100 - 5/14 - Colchester | Found it | Stones2005 | 5844 Quickly spotted this one. TFTC |
... | E515 | GLD4JTD4 | Essex 100 - 5/15 - Crossroads | Found it | Stones2005 | 5845 Hint items on both sides - I struck lucky. TFTC |

... | E517 | GLD4JV1J | Essex 100 - 5/17 - Backbend | Found it | Stones2005 | 5847 Last one for us before we are back to the car - just time for a couple of drive bys. TFTC |
... | RR071X | GLD4NHYW | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Write note | julietr4 | At last we found this today. Proper log to follow. |
... | RR071X | GLD4V768 | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | julietr4 | Having attempted this one a couple of weeks ago in the pouring rain and water logged fields, we tried again today on a gloriously sunny day. After a bit of a battle we got to GZ and signed the log. It's a shame we were so noisy as judging by the hoof prints there are some substantial deer roaming these parts.

Looking forward to going back to school. |

... | X-TVT | GLD58HDZ | Tiptree Virtual Tour | Found it | $tu | FTF Looked at this cache this morning and noticed that 8 people had correctly solved it but the cache still hadn't been logged as being found, so i thought i would attempt it. It took me a little while getting to grips with google earth and struggled to find the first clues initially and I was finding it all a bit frustrating but once I got going and found a few of the clues it started becoming quite enjoyable with each clue being ticked off. It took me about 2 hours i think to find all of the clues and have the co-ords worked out, i managed to get my sums wrong the first time i put the co-ords into the checker, but i was pleased that it was just a maths error on my part rather than getting one of the clues wrong! Once the checker confirmed i had the right co-ords it soon became apparent why there hadn't been any logged finds as of yet . Myself and gspleo decided to have some lunch first and then make our way to GZ. Once we arrived at GZ we had to wait around for a bit but we were soon on the hunt and found what we were looking for, but it wasn't going to be that straight forward and after about 15/20mins we could finally celebrate our FTF. A very good puzzle with a clever twist. Joint FTF with gspleo at 2:20pm. TFTC. |

17 Jan 2014 | RR137 | GLD5RNMN | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | vanguard3 | As far as I am concerned MMM is a song by The Crash Test Dummies. http://www.last.fm/music/Crash+Test+Dummies/_/Mmm+Mmm+Mmm+Mmm But it seems that I was the dummy as CO & I had talked about these thingys & their potential in the past. Even had a heads-up e-mail that didn't get my grey matter into the right mode. Eventually solved after being berated at Event #25 for not being FTF. (another erroneous website prolonged the effort) & got the 'successful' output from MrCrowChecker, who was relieved as he could then go to bed. Never mind the field puzzle that was mentioned in a log, what about the water hazard? Did it rain last night? I guess the moat around GZ will not always be there. TFTC. Obviously a FAV. I left Mr Crow & Miss Kitty coins for future cachers. #5443 |

I even skipped breakfast so I could do jistice to that supplied. got there to find an empty car park and locked gate, decided to check the cache page only to find Im a month too early.

... | X-QS2 | GLD6D1W4 | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | Today I went on a recce to set the five new puzzle caches that will be published at the event. A circular tour of about 2.5 miles from the Village Hall will to take you to them.
The first will be a "GPS-less" cache and the others will require straightforward puzzles to be solved which you will be able to do on the day with just a little mental agility and a calculator - trust me!
The terrain for the first three is currently VERY boggy and wet and I doubt it will improve much over the next four weeks. Come prepared.
There's already a nearby puzzle cache "I Love Kitty" which I found today and I will show you how to solve it during the teach-in. This will add one mile (good terrain) to your circular walk if you want to visit.

20 Jan 2014 | X-TVT | GLD6P1QE | Tiptree Virtual Tour | Found it | Millersville31 | Loved this puzzle, even if I did have to go backwards and forwards a few times to obtain the numbers.

Great container with lots of swaps, took pathtag and left a few goodies. Definitely a favourite. |

The bespoke caches have suffered muggling and the series has had it's day. I will, however, ensure it is in good order for the ? about ? event on 15th Feb.
We had thought of launching the new trail at this event, but it's so muddy we are saving it for another later in the year - probably May or June. |
... | X-QS2 | GLD6XAGK | ?s About ?s #2 | Will Attend | vanguard3 | There's me chivvying Team SoS to attend & havn't logged myself in. It's the call of the bacon rolls. Also just realised I have 15th as a blank on my calendar. |
... | X-TVT | GLD6TXEG | Tiptree Virtual Tour | Found it | HollynCharlie | I had an inkling about this cache and my inkling was correct, I thought I better solve the puzzle first though to confirm, which I did with speed luckily knowing Tiptree well helped alot, so when the geochecker confirmed my thoughts i wasn't suprised. I headed off to GZ to quickly find the cache, however an extra twist and turn meant that it was a few minutes later before I actually signed the sheet. Nice to see some familiar faces at GZ this morning too Left GC TFTC |
... | X-TVT | GLD6W9AT | Tiptree Virtual Tour | Found it | gillywig | A great fan of streetview, it wasn't long before a virtual find was recorded. A great way of combining a couple of familiar ideas. A planned Crow visit to discuss the future event, so diverted to sign the log. Glad to see the guardian of the cache working hard. TFTC. |

24 Jan 2014 | RR006X | GLD780AD | RR006 - Totham Triangle 2 | Found it | a1nnie | Extremely muddy walk to GZ, thankfully found the cache nice and dry. The footpath was completely flooded though. TFTC and another great puzzle. |
... | RR015 | GLD77WPJ | RR015 - Cache Championships | Found it | a1nnie | Solved this one ages ago. Out in the area today so went and had a look. We had DNF'd on the last visit. Thankfully a nice quick find today. TFTC. |
... | RR022X | GLD77YVE | RR022 - PolyCache 5 | Found it | a1nnie | Parked close by. Had a nice little muddy walk to GZ. A nice quick find here today. Thanks for a nice little puzzle and another great cache. |
... | RR023X | GLD781F1 | RR023 - Sum Problem | Needs Maintenance | a1nnie | Went looking for this one today whilst driving about the countryside. Squelched my way to GZ to be faced with the footpath blocked by a pond which I suspect is a lot larger than it should be. Managed to get to GZ, after getting a wet foot, only to realise that the cache is actually now under water! Advised CO that some maintenance might be required once the waters have dried up. Will come back another day. |
... | RR027X | GLD77WAJ | RR027 - Beetle | Found it | a1nnie | Found myself in the area today with some spare time so went to go and find this one. Inside the cache is nice and dry but the location is an absolute quagmire. Took TB, left a few trinkets from the Christmas crackers. TFTC. |
... | RR040 | GLD780H2 | RR040 - Mummy Crow | Didn't find it | a1nnie | Looked for ages in all the likely spots but no luck for me here today. It was quite wet and muddy here, so I hope it is still safe. Will try again when it is drier. |
... | RR071X | GLD77ZX8 | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | a1nnie | Solved this one ages ago. Was thwarted by an attempt to find the cache a few months ago by a broken car door!! But I was in the area today and the sun was shining so today was the day to tackle this long awaited cache. What an adventure. No footpath to guide me so just headed in the general direction. There were some people on the farm nearby and I was worried they might see me but they seemed busy enough sawing away at something. Found GZ easily enough in the end. It took 15 minutes to get in and 20 minutes to get back out. I was pretty pleased with that! Of course I got told off by the CO for going in on my own! LOL. Unfortunately as I was going in I managed to lose the pen out of my pocket - no chance of finding it on the way back of course! I was terrified of losing my phone and car keys as well but got out in the end alive. Had to leave a blob on the log and took photographic evidence which the CO has kindly accepted as my having achieved this long awaited goal. Thanks very much for a very memorable cache. |

... | RR116X | GLD779A4 | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Write note | Mr Crow | I tried to visit this cache today. Arrrrrgggghhh. The approach from the north is is now a two feet deep river with no way round. You'll need waders to get to the cache. The approach from the south is currently impossible as the footbridge across the river has collapsed. Take care. |
25 Jan 2014 | E118 | GLD7AY9P | Essex 100 - 1/18 - Hawthorn | Found it | BBsGeo77 | A quick find. That completes the link in the series. Time to head back to base. SL TFTC. |

... | E120 | GLD7AXGG | Essex 100 - 1/20 - Bounds | Didn't find it | BBsGeo77 | I had a real good look for this without success, dodging some large puddles. Wondered if washed away ! Maybe me ! |
... | E121 | GLD7AX1M | Essex 100 - 1/21 - Channel | Found it | BBsGeo77 | With ditch full of water, found myself sliding towards wet boots !! Managed to hang on and find this GC. Back to the top to SL and then the risky slide to return GC to location. All good fun !! TFTC |
... | E122 | GLD7AWM5 | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Didn't find it | BBsGeo77 | Number 2 today however stopped by flood water - I think ! The ditches are full of water which I think this GC is not accessible - perhaps with waders. On to the next. |
... | E201 | GLD7AZ2C | Essex 100 - 2/01 - Copse | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Another 5 in this series today. Timed out so back to the Swifts for pick up. Thanks for bringing me to this lovely village of Goldhanger. Two pubs and opportunities for circular walks - will be back. Topped by the lovely smell of burning wood fires.
Another slip / slide down a bank but soon found. SL TFTC. |
... | RR004 | GLD7XK0D | RR004 - Totham Tulips | Found it | The Avenue Two | Took us a long while to solve this puzzle, but it was a quick find at GZ as the cache was in the open. Signed log and replaced where we thought it should be. Thank you for bringing us here Mr Crow. |
... | RR097 | GLD7XFCD | RR097 - Cacher's Path | Found it | The Avenue Two | Took us a long while to suss this one, and have driven past before without realising its significance. Pleased to start off a new Rally Round year with this one. Thank you Mr Crow for another delightful puzzle. |
... | RR133 | GLD7XJF9 | RR133 - Xmash Day | Found it | The Avenue Two | Found this one entirely by accident. We had stopped because although we thought we knew where we were, we weren't where we wanted to be, because we had missed the sign which would have taken us to where we should have been. Caches instinct led Heather to investigate a potential hidey hole where we had fortuitously pulled up. Delighted to sign this almost clean log. Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR133 | GLD7ZJ73 | RR133 - Xmash Day | Write note | Mr Crow | Spotted TAT parked up and looking lost while out jogging. LOL. |
... | RR133 | GLDCEQKE | RR133 - Xmash Day | Found it | foxscout | When I was listening to Grahame Gillywig's talk at the recent ?s about ?s event and he was talking about Conjecturing and Crowjecturing, it dawned on me that there should be a third category...I can't think of a good word for it yet and usually just refer to it as 'Stumbling across'! I have stumbled across a few Rally Rounds. In fact it was stumbling across number 27 that got me started on Rally Rounds. I got home and looked at the cache page and then realised all those little blue ? on the map were related. I couldn't solve the puzzle at the time and it was only after solving a few more puzzles that I realised what had to be done. This Rally Round fell into the 'stumbled across' category. We weren't out looking for it. But sometimes your brain just wonders about something and there is a cache. It's a lovely feeling...and really exciting...and then the detective work starts...which one is it? With my terrible short term memory I sometimes find I have already found it I had thoroughly enjoyed trying to solve this, so I thought I won't log yet. I wanted to try and solve it first. A recent trip to Brighton gave me an idea and although there were two problems I have not yet resolved I finally got the lovely green success on the checker... Thank you for an intriguing puzzle that has given me lots of happy hours and thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR135 | GLD7XHMG | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | The Avenue Two | Had seen these puzzles in the Telegraph at weekends but had never attempted one before. These are certainly not the easiest of puzzles to solve, so happy when geochecker said success. It is such a pity that there is so much water on many of the fields, making life difficult for those living in the countryside. Thank you for the challenge Mr Crow. |
... | RR135 | GLD85MWY | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | foxscout | Saw all these lovely puzzles published on Christmas Day but I only had time for a brief glance at them as I had an afternoon bike ride planned. After copying out 136, I carefully copied this onto my graph pad. And sharpened what was left of my pencil I had never seen this type of puzzle and began with a little research. I quickly made some progress but then couldn't see how to move forward. The puzzle was placed on the top of my puzzle solving pile for a few days... Everytime I walked by, I looked at it. After school one evening I had an idea and after tinkering with a few of the numbers I had a nice plot! Thank you for another enjoyable and different type of puzzle Mr Crow and thank you for placing this cache! |
... | RR136 | GLD7XKD6 | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | The Avenue Two | Pete surprised himself by solving this puzzle quite quickly and the find proved to be equally quick. Thank you for the puzzle and cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR136 | GLD85HT6 | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | foxscout | Saw all these lovely puzzles published on Christmas Day but I only had time for a brief glance at them as I had an afternoon bike ride planned. This was the second one that I properly got my teeth into. No printer ink at the moment so I retrieved my A4 pad of graph paper and carefully copied the cache page. And then the fun began I really enjoyed trying to solve this. After a few days I felt happy with my work...the paper was worn thin and my pencil somewhat shorter But as I tried to work out the co-ords something was wrong... I looked again and spotted my mistake! I couple more days of playing and finally it all clicked into place! I have never seen this type of puzzle before and I thoroughly enjoyed trying to solve it! Thank you for a very enjoyable puzzle Mr Crow and thank you for placing this cache! Favourite! |
... | RR137 | GLD7XGG9 | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | The Avenue Two | We had some trouble in sorting out the correct website for solving this one, but got there eventually. Hadn't taken notice of the attributes, and so we all had a surprise when Pete retrieved this one from its watery surroundings. We passed it back and forth and finally the log was in Pete's hand. Thank you for an interesting puzzle Mr Crow. |
... | RR137 | GLD85G19 | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | foxscout | Saw all these lovely puzzles published on Christmas Day but I only had time for a brief glance at them as I had an afternoon bike ride planned. When I finally sat down to look at them, this was the first I looked at... I quickly spotted the theme. Many hours of sitting in various university bars listening to tales told by my friend Sean, over a few pints, was a surprise help here This was a pleasure to solve and I soon had a nice looking plot. I hadn't noticed the attributes on this either but after a few times round, Mr TA2 was rewarded with the log. I really enjoyed solving this and for that I am leaving a favourite point here! Thank you for a pleasing puzzle and hide Mr Crow! |

As no maths were involved in obtaining the clues I enjoyed the role - once I got Google Earth Man to travel in the right direction!

Had planned to find this cache last week but then I saw it was disabled so had to wait till today. Really enjoyed the google earth part. What a great way to find numbers. Driving through Tiptree today noticed a few of the places that the journey had sent me down. Not going to say anything else but Brilliant. Lots of new great ways to find a cache and get numbers. Definite Fav from me. STL. TFTC. |

Given the length of time since it was last found, I wanted to be the first to find in 15 months. Couldn't risk that so went out my way to travel here today on a lovely sunny day. A remarkably quick find at GZ. Will wait for better weather before I start my assault on all the rally rounds I've solved... TFTC #459 |

... | RR071X | GLD8Q1HX | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | heartstones1 | It took me longer to find the way in than it did to find the cache. I first drove a horseshoe around GZ, then after parking near an access point circumnavigated the area, only finding the correct access point after doing 350 degrees of the route, the car being within sight. I'd come with overalls and wore my climbing helmet for protection from spikey shrubbery but the latter wasn't needed at all. What an unusual place. With no leaves above I had a good gps signal but I imagine it's harder in the green half of the year. Thanks. Another T4.5 ticked off.

... | X-TVT | GLD95P32 | Tiptree Virtual Tour | Found it | HelennTribe | B had needed a work distraction the other day and had followed the Route. He had given me some coords so today I decided to locate the cache before I lost them. Quickly found the Next Location. Took the geocoin but the kids had brought nothing to swap so took nothing and left nothing. Obtained the necessary numbers and moved on to the final which No 4 soon had in hand.

05 Feb 2014 | RR131X | GLD9DJM5 | RR131 - Board Game 6 | Found it | The Avenue Two | FTF @ 16.40 hours Another FTF on a Mr. Crow puzzle, something we didn't think we would see ! Had looked at this before without much idea what to do, but picking it up again whilst Mrs A2 was out, and looking more closely at my scribblings, an idea began to form in my head. A couple more calculations and I was certain. The numbers came quickly after that, and the checker soon said "Success". Was there enough time and light left ? As there was an FTF up for grabs, there certainly was ! Luckily the traffic was relatively light, and with a convenient parking spot close to GZ, the crisp blank log was soon in my hand. Thanks Mr. Crow for another different challenge. |

Solved the route clues before the temporary disablement but had one wrong so waited until it was re-enabled before finishing off. Did this on Tuesday and went off for the kill this morning en route to Tesco for the newspaper.

Thanks, Ray, for another innovative cache. |
08 Feb 2014 | E117 | GLD9R6TK | Essex 100 - 1/17 - Grass | Found it | HollynCharlie | So after a very long wait we finally got round to getting this cache. It was our last Essex 100. We had been part of the mass dnf on the launch day many moons ago. We parked in Goldhanger and began our walk to gz. It was bright but blowing a gale on the seawall. But it was firm underfoot and sunny so we made our way quickly to gz. As we approached our hearts began to sink. The whole area was underwater. Not to be deterred we waded in to gz rolled up our sleeves and began feeling around. We had noted a previous cachers log saying about putting a lid back on. We found that and lifted it hopping to see something float up but nothing did. Another feel around in the mud and water and no luck. We expanded our search area and it was then that we spotted the cache about 10m away bobbing away in the water. A quick dash and grabbed it thankfully! We have placed it back under said lid but on higher drier ground close to gz so hopefully we dont get anymore rain! Thanks for all the caches on this series we have loved them all. Tftc |
... | RR024 | GLD9QBJM | RR024 - Two Duck Raid | Write note | Mr Crow | Puzzle updated because of dummy coordinate change. |
... | RR033X | GLDATK33 | RR033 - Quite Path-etic | Found it | The Avenue Two | We saw the most amazing rainbow as we parked the car fairly close GZ. Pete had enjoyed solving the puzzle and he enjoyed the wade out to this cache! Thank you for another interesting puzzle. |
... | RR060 | GLDATQRP | RR060 - Crow-No-Logical | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then picked Foxscout up to visit Mr Crow country. Another interesting puzzle that lots of things were tried before finally getting success on geochecker. Excellent coords led to a quick find this morning. Thank you Mr Crow. |
... | RR060 | GLDAVBTX | RR060 - Crow-No-Logical | Found it | foxscout | I love this one! I have spent hours and hours trying to find a way in to the puzzle...I love that moment when the penny finally drops and puzzle unravels itself. As I walked to GZ the heaven's opened, I looked at my GPSr and began to jog. The rain was heavy now and I hoped it might be a quick find. I looked around...lots of nice places to hide a cache but only one place really...and there it was! Lovely to finally solve this! and a really nice hide location! Thank you for a fantastic puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR061 | GLDATX0G | RR061 - Crow-nundrum | Found it | The Avenue Two | Dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country. This puzzle looked quite interesting, but it took a long time to finally solve it. A nice little stroll to GZ, where Foxscout quickly had the treasure in hand. Very pleased with another smilie on the map here, thanks Mr Crow. |
... | RR061 | GLDAVA24 | RR061 - Crow-nundrum | Found it | foxscout | Brilliant! What a lovely lovely puzzle! I have looked at it so many times, then the other day the penny suddenly dropped! I really enjoyed the walk to GZ. And after a little look I quickly spotted the hide. Thank you for a very enjoyable puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow.Definitely a foxy favourite! |
... | RR068 | GLDATH9Q | RR068 - Good Knights | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country, on what proved to be a very successful trip. Pete had solved this one recently and it was our first find of the day. Interesting to see the amount of money that had been spent near GZ. Pleased to say cache nice and dry in its hidey hole. Thank you for puzzle and our 100 rally round cache. |
... | RR073 | GLDATW77 | RR073 - Prime Evil | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to going birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country. Lots of attempts and chatting before this evil one was solved, but got there in the end. Thank you for a very clever puzzle Mr Crow. |
... | RR073 | GLDAV8Y1 | RR073 - Prime Evil | Found it | foxscout | This has been in and out of my puzzle solving pile so many times. Then over the Christmas break I suddenly realised what I was doing wrong. At GZ it took me a few moments to spot this nicely hidden cache. Lovely to finally solve this evil one! Thank you for a tricky puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR076 | GLDATNYZ | RR076 - Length Matters | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then picked Foxscout up to visit Mr Crow country. This one took a lot of time before Pete was able to solve. A nice quick find this morning at GZ. thanks to spot on coords. Thank you for another unusual puzzle. |
... | RR076 | GLDAV1BN | RR076 - Length Matters | Found it | foxscout | I have really enjoyed trying to solve this puzzle. As always there was no ink in my printer when this was first published, so I set about trying to replicate the page in my notebook. This was not without its problems! Much sharpening of pencils and scratching of my head and still no numbers... Tilly had little to say on the subject... More recently I decided to try another idea, I was hopeful but my numbers still didn't make sense. I spent a couple of days thinking about it...when suddenly the penny dropped! As we walked to this Mrs TA2 asked if there was a hint...I read it out and got a fit of the giggles...I was still laughing as I located this nicely hidden cache! Thank you for a very pleasing puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR078 | GLDATQ33 | RR078 - Genius and Luck | Write note | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow Country. A car was already parked as we approached GZ but they quickly drove away. Foxscout was searching one side and l the other, and l had the luck in finding the cache, but not in solving the puzzle yet. Cache nice and safe and dry in its neat hiding place. Thank you. |
... | RR078 | GLDAVDHB | RR078 - Genius and Luck | Found it | foxscout | Neither genius or luck for me But lots and lots of sheer stubborness not to let it beat me After I realised what had to be done, it slowly dawned on me that that was only the beginning! So many variables... Ever since this was published I had it in my mind where it might be and have looked there a couple of times...when I finally got the wonderful correct on the checker it was funny to see just how wrong I was At GZ I went one way and Mrs TA2 went the other. Mrs TA2 soon called out the lovely words...'Found it!'. Thank you for a wonderfully frustrating and clever puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR079 | GLDATHWQ | RR079 - Indi | Found it | foxscout | Tilly is the little black cat that shares my house. She is usually found laying on the back of the sofa. But she often helps me with puzzle solving. She likes to stand on my chair and meow the answers to me... She gets frustrated when I sit staring at the screen and scribbling notes in my puzzle book... Meow...meow...meow... I'm sure she knows the answer...but I don't speak cat We looked at each other I knew there was only one answer...I must learn a new language! I began before Christmas and was soon understanding quite a few words...but not enough to prize the answer from my feline friend... Two weeks hoilday and I set myself a target to learn a few more words... I have thoroughly enjoyed solving this puzzle. It has taken me back to the late 80's/early 90's, to something I had forgotton all about and for that I thank you. When I saw the plot I knew we were going to have fun Mrs TA2 and I soon reached GZ, I negotiated the water and began searching but no...no little cache... As we searched a few other places Mrs TA2 spotted something and bravely I went to investigate... The cache was soon located and happy to report that it is safe and dry! Leaving a favourite here for a fantastic puzzle and a fun search at GZ Thank you Ray for an intriguing puzzle and for placing this cache. |
... | RR086 | GLDATF8M | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | foxscout | When this was first published I had no idea what to do and it sat lonely in the furthest away pile on my desk...the destination of puzzles I suspect I might not ever solve... And there it might have stayed if it were not for a conversation which made me curious... I began some research and soon had quite a collection of trees Over a few months my collection increased...and my research continued...It had moved from the impossible pile to being tucked in the front of my work bag for quiet lunch times... And sat at my desk one evening I finally made the breakthrough! I really enjoyed the walk to GZ. The cache eluded me for quite a while and round and round I went searching different places until suddenly I spotted it! There are lots of reasons why I enjoy solving Rally Round puzzles and one of them is very true here...learning new things that I would probably never have discovered! This was the first find of a lovely day in Crow Country and I leave a favourite point here. Thank you Ray for a fantastic puzzle and for placing this cache. |
... | RR108 | GLDATMXV | RR108 - Eggsasperating | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country. I probably have the most attempts on geochecker for this cache, and very pleased it was located having driven through flooded roads to get here. Cache safe and dry, but we did look four times in same place, before Foxscout found it. Pleased to put a smilie in the map here, one we will remember for a long time. Thank you Mr Crow. |
... | RR108 | GLDAVEF3 | RR108 - Eggsasperating | Found it | foxscout | When I thought about how to log this, all I kept thinking was... 'Found eggsactly where we always thought it would be!' I have spent hours and hours trying to get to the bottom of this puzzle and wonder how many times we have each asked 'How goes eggs?' Today it was so lovely to finally find the cache. We almost thought we wouldn't get here. The roads and fields were very flooded but careful driving and we were soon where we wanted to be. At GZ we hunted for a little while, could it be 4th time lucky? Smiles all round as I suddenly spotted the cache! Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR125X | GLDAV1CR | RR125 - Five Diamonds 2 | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country. This was the last cache of the day, and we were all very pleased to at last complete this series. As expected a muddy walk to GZ, where the cache was soon located safe and dry. Thank you for placing this series of caches Mr Crow. |
... | RR125X | GLDAV3QY | RR125 - Five Diamonds 2 | Found it | foxscout | After my last visit to the Five Diamonds series I was determined to try and solve the remaining unsolved Diamonds. I am still bewildered by 4 and 5...but happy to say I have solved 2 and 3! I loved the walk to this! If the water had been any deeper I would have needed my water wings We splashed and sloshed our way towards GZ... At GZ this took us a little while to spot. After searching a few places Mr TA2 spotted it where I had already looked Great hide Thank you for a great little puzzle that had me baffled for ages and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR131X | GLDATZZW | RR131 - Board Game 6 | Found it | foxscout | I have looked at this puzzle a few times and had a good idea about what needed to be done. But time had eluded me. With a planned trip to Crow Country I shared my ideas with Mr TA2 and whilst I was busy washing test tubes he finally found the numbers we had been after. I love this puzzle! I love that I needed to use my new secret weapon for solving Rally Rounds I was initially surprised by the plot...I was convinced another Rally Round would be here At GZ I quickly located this neat little hide! Definitely a foxy favourite! Thank you for a superb puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR132 | GLDATTXN | RR132 - Batteries Not Required | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then picked Foxscout up to visit Mr Crow country. Wow, we enjoyed our second, but the most beautiful rainbow of the morning here. Three of us and two pairs of welly boots, l hadn't solved the puzzle but l had seen the mud, so only fair to let them find the cache. Gave Foxscout my walking pole, then l enjoyed a cup of tea whilst they waded through the mud. Cache safe and free of mud, not quite the same could be said of Pete and Foxscout. I so wish l had thought to take a photo not only of the rainbow but of them. Thank you for another smilie on the map Mr Crow. |
... | RR132 | GLDAV7KZ | RR132 - Batteries Not Required | Found it | foxscout | I really enjoyed solving this puzzle. I had a good idea what to do as soon as I looked at it. and quickly got to work...but something didn't look right... I redid it and redid it...hmmmm...I decided to put it in the bit of my brain where I put puzzles to be worked on whilst I get on with other things... Sometime later I returned to it and realised I had been right all along! What a fantastic way to get the numbers! As we pulled up here we had some serious weather and whilst I decided on the best way to attack this we were treated to the most beautiful rainbow! Mrs TA2 lent me her walking pole...without which I may still be out there The trip to GZ was fairly uneventful. A very nice walk and the rain had stopped. At GZ after a little look around we soon spotted this very nice hide! It was at this point that I decided to make this a terrain 5 cache... I have cached in water, up trees, in tunnels and +80 feet underground inside quarries but I can honestly say getting back to the car was the hardest terrain I have ever experienced whilst caching Rain was again threatening and I had left my coat in the car so Mr TA2 told me to go on ahead... So off I went...until I got stuck Stuck fast I waited patiently for Mr TA2...I waited and waited... Hmmm the sky was getting very angry to the west and I decided I should try to dig myself out... After sometime I finally extracted myself and now to find a safe way back...a couple of large stones acted as very nice stepping stones and slowly got me to safety. Once back at the car Mrs TA2 made me a very welcome cup of tea! The moment I realised how to do this puzzle you had a favourite point from me. But for the craziness getting to and from the cache I wish I could award you more! Great fun! Thank you for a brilliant puzzle and for one of the most physically challenging caches I have done Mr Crow! |
... | RR134X | GLDATKWW | RR134 - Endeavour | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country. Pete soon got to grips with this interesting puzzle. I soon found the cache in its clever hiding place. Thank you for puzzle and cache. |
... | RR134X | GLDATXKE | RR134 - Endeavour | Found it | foxscout | Once I had stopped thinking about my Staraptor's moveset, I made swift work of this nice little puzzle. Incidently I have never let a Staraptor or Staravia learn Endeavour. I always look at the description and think that looks good...but I favour Roost, Ariel Ace, Quick Attack and of course Fly! At GZ I was busy doing some precarious ditch hopping when I heard Mrs TA2 call out those lovely words...'Found it!' Thank you for a very enjoyable puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |

09 Feb 2014 | RR089X | GLDAVHDD | RR089 - Ovoidable | Found it | The Avenue Two | Pete looked again at this Saturday evening and spotted something he had missed before. A quick conversation with Foxscout and with a bit of team work the necessary numbers were forthcoming. Meet up Sunday morning and cache quickly located. Thank you for another great puzzle Mr Crow. |
... | RR089X | GLDAVHTE | RR089 - Ovoidable | Found it | foxscout | This was team work at its best...Whilst my dinner cooked I decided to have another look at this. I had a page of scribbles by the time my food was ready and put it to one side whilst I ate... 'beep' 'beep' 'beep' I was busy eating when I received a flurry of messages...dinner back in the oven and I have a quick look... A few emails back and forth and me and Mr TA2 have a very nice looking plot.
GZ was lovely this morning and after a little look we soon spotted the hide.
Thank you for an enjoyable puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow.
(The cache was very wet inside, but we did our best to dry everything before carefully replacing it.)
|
... | RR110 | GLDAVGN2 | RR110 - Board Game 4 | Found it | foxscout | I have looked at this so many times but just could not think how to start. With renewed enthusiasm I looked again on Saturday evening and with the anagram finally solved I soon realised what had to be done. That was the easy bit A bit of research and a bit of tweeking and I soon had a plot...I and the geochecker were not happy, so I carried on trying this and trying that. Suddenly I had something that looked very plausible and the geochecker did that lovely pause thing it does and then 'ordnancesurvey' GZ didn't present any problems and we soon located this nice little hide! Leaving a favourite point here for all those hours of staring at the screen and for the moment when I finally realised what you wanted me to do! Thank you for a very nice puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR110 | GLDAVJ6Q | RR110 - Board Game 4 | Found it | The Avenue Two | The anagram was the stumbling block for a long while, then with that hurdle overcome the calculations then presented another challenge. Finally geochecker said success. A nice quick find with Foxscout Sunday morning. We were pleased to have solved our second Board Game in a week. Thank you Mr Crow for another interesting cache. |

... | RR138 | GLDACHQ9 | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | foxscout | {FTF} 3:40pm When I opened this puzzle I knew just what I needed to solve it... Mrs foxscout fetched it from the top of the fridge and I soon had a nice plot! As I sat looking at the location on the map, Mrs foxscout called 'Pub!' to which I tentatively replied...'FTF?'... I loved the puzzle and I really liked the hide location! Thank you for another very enjoyable puzzle Mr Crow! Definitely a foxy favourite! |
... | X-QS2 | GLDA73R3 | ?s About ?s #2 | Write note | hublander | For Kitty me, Beanie28, Davemcwish and Sammyjw would like a bacon Roll. Don't plan on Breakfast before attending the meet. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDA9CYE | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | I've just updated the timetable for the day. Another announcement soon with the details. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDA9HHQ | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | Cones Having checked the size of the hall yesterday and with the expected number of attendees, there won’t be enough room to comfortably host the navigate-round-cones competition. Instead there will be a desktop quiz to tackle while you eat breakfast.
Attendees We have a few instances of attendees bringing other cachers who haven’t logged a “Will attendâ€. It would be very helpful to have these registrations as soon as possible so that we can pre-print their names on the crOw Level Certificates and arrange food.
Food For catering purposes, if you haven’t already, please pass your bacon/veggy preference to Kitty!! before she goes shopping.
Timing Because we need to vacate the hall by 12:00 sharp, the presentations and subsequent activities will now start 15 minutes earlier. The timetable has been updated accordingly.
Raffle We will be holding a raffle for a selection of prizes. If you have any unwanted Christmas gifts or cache containers please consider bringing them along to add to the prize fund. Remember the surplus income from the event will be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Attached Photo The attached photo has been doctored in 30 different ways to hold the coordinates of a Rally Round puzzle cache. I’ll explain how on the day. The photo was in fact taken near the same cache and shows the bridge which had collapsed during a recent landslide/flood. The cache has been moved from its precarious state to somewhere close by. |

I had been busy solving Rally Round puzzles during the long wet winter months. I solved this one yesterday after months of getting nowhere. This one bet us today, grandma Molly and myself had a realy good look but did not want to spend too long searching as two of the team were left in the car, the path to GZ was very wet and muddy. We will come back in the summer for another go. TFTP anyway. |

At GZ it took Peakat Major to show myself and Grandma where cache was hidden [:O)] TFTP & TC Favorite point awarded |

... | X-QS2 | GLDAEVB9 | ?s About ?s #2 | Write note | kareninwb | I am very tempted to come but know I will be an absolute failure at the puzzle caches! I just can't do them and they are invading my home territory. |
11 Feb 2014 | RR138 | GLDAH6FE | RR138 - 404 Found | Write note | Fenners1984 | Very much in the 'Ground Out' camp! Quite intrigued by what may be on top of Foxscout's fridge... |
... | RR139 | GLDAHVY2 | RR139 - Carrion Caching | Found it | gillywig | FTF I(Gr) had a good idea about what was necessary and started to list the contolling factors.Once I had given up on the 'there must be simpler approach' it was out with the sledgehammer to crack this nut! This was not without it's own problems and it became a mathematical puzzle, the like of which I had not enjoyed since RR84 Flarely Difficult and Quite Near Kitty. So the search began. What if I miss it? Soon it dawned it could take a considersble time, so how to narrow the search? After an hour or so the many thousands became a tad over a hundred, and stage 2 commenced. With each potential answer, an initial test, then on to the next. Surprisingly more passed this test than imagined. More than once did hopes rise but eventually something didn't fit until ... Yes Yes! Yes!! ... the Eureka moment when each test was passed. The chances that it wasn't correct where miniscule, so ignoring the checker, a quick squint at Google Earth would suffice. It was almost a shame to venture out and sign the log as inevitably fewer cachers will now attempt a solution. All I can say is persevere and you will find. I'm sure there's a better way to solve it, but I assure you, not as satisfying. An absolute favourite for the puzzle. TFTC |

Your event has been featured on ‘The Podcache Show’ Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thepodcacheshow/permalink/616161795087033/ Please feel free to update our page about your event. But whatever you do, have a great time caching.
Tracey and Pete aka The Amasons |
... | X-QS2 | GLDATH32 | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | Well, we are just about ready. The huge load of printing has been done, including your coveted(?) certificate and a laminated sheet which will be so valuable you might want to insure it!
Kitty!! says she has now got all the food/drink sorted. The only worry is that you will all turn up at 9am and have to queue for your breakfast. So many people are coming so please bear with us if you have to wait a bit - it will be worth it.
Don't forget your calculator (or phone app) and a pen. You won't need anything more technical to help you with the competition questions.
The weather looks rather suspect for Saturday - no change there then. It's only a short trail to visit the new puzzle caches, but the terrain for the first three is very brown and spongy. Slip on something waterproof when the event closes at midday.
From midday onwards Kitty!! and I will available to attend to your (reasonable) caching needs.
We are overwhelmed with your support. Some of you are coming from afar so take care on the roads.
See you on Saturday. |

... | X-QS2 | GLDAVQ8J | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | We have been belatedly informed that we have to vacate the Hall at 12 noon promptly as there is now another booking immediately after us. The following hirers are expecting a large number of people and we must, therefore, also vacate the car park by 12.
For those wishing to stay on after the event and find the new puzzle caches/other local caches I suggest moving your car to the Tennis Courts (N 51° 38.254' E 000° 28.800').
The White Horse Pub (N 51° 38.160' E 000° 28.425') also has a large car park for its patrons. |

... | Q1 | GLDB39QG | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | RachelnRedd | Walking round the new caches with a1nnie, happileigh and vanguard 3, we followed the instructions faithfully, paced, did the maths - and then found GZ with another group of cachers already signing the log book. Thanks to doggywalker who signed our names for us. Left Smurf TB. Weren't quite sure about the reference to the chess piece, but found enough of the other clues to rack it down anyway. Thanks for the cache! |
... | Q1 | GLDB3QWD | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Fenners1984 | Having solved the puzzles in the pub following the event nearby, Mrs F and I ventured out to find this one and were joined by the Mathsnuts on our trip round - lovely to meet you all! TFTC #471 |
... | Q1 | GLDB559T | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | cazmockett | #2466 found @ 14:45 After my FTF successes at Q5 and Q4, my intention was to do the circuit backwards but before getting too close to Q3, my iPhone battery died as well. It was also starting to rain heavily, so I decided to head back to the pub for some lunch.
After a nice dinner and chat with Kitty and others there, I managed to blag some spare batteries for my GPS, so set off to do the remaining puzzle caches in the proper order.
So glad of my waterproof trousers and wellies here - I was ankle-deep in mud/water while trying to retrieve this one but managed to find and sign without dropping anything in the ditch.
Decided to backtrack and use the road to the next caches, rather than risking even more mud. TFTC. |
... | Q1 | GLDB5D0T | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | vanguard3 | I picked a nice group to walk with -- me & three ladies. I had to behave myself all afternoon. Paced out well, OK, to be honest followed the group in front. TFTC. #5549. |
... | Q1 | GLDB6NJ1 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Bonanza K&D | Even after attending Mr Crows event learning how to solve puzzle caches this one was still to fiendish for us to solve on our own. But thanks to spending time with the other attendees in the pub after the event and more assistance from Ray we finally worked this one out. And after a very wet and muddy walk we found the cache. |
... | Q1 | GLDB76D3 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | happileigh | Inspired by Gilliwig's awesome caching methods, it was fun following this with friends after the Puzzle event. TFTC! |
... | Q1 | GLDB7DGB | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | greysman | Claiming FTF here Changed into wet weather gear as advised and it was justified - can't imagine how yukky this would turn out to be after a few dozen feet trod this way. Started off down the road with some others but they hung a right and disappeared into the chess piece hostelry so I was on my own. After measuring my pace, in true Gillywig fashion, I sailed past the rugby posts by quite a margin and had to backtrack. Compass bearing was good but with the mud my distance was short to start with, then cacher's eye took over and the prize was mine at 1210. Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. TFTC |
... | Q1 | GLDB7HN6 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | a1nnie | Joined up with vanguard3, happileigh and rachelnrio to pick up the newly published caches after having solved them in the pub. We enjoyed working our way round this very straight forward route. The mud and puddles were a delightful addition to the trail. TFTC. |
... | Q1 | GLDBA3CK | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | kareninwb | Adjourned to the pub after the ?s about ?s meet to solve some of the puzzle caches that had been set for the day, I didn't do much of the solving but watched it admiration whilst others close by did! Once all had been completed it was off with Mel and Ray to find them. The paths were very muddy in places but that didn't stop us. Quick find here in the obvious place. TFTC |
... | Q1 | GLDBJBC4 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Kris&Co | After the morning's lessons we moved over to the pub, at sat applying our new skills. Once we had solved the list we decided to set out and get them before having refreshments.
We started with this one, navigating the squishy paths was fun.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | Q1 | GLDBJBDA | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | infinson | No.3483
I had great fun doing this in the company of the Masters (Gillywig) and Mr Mercator ( One of the oldest) We followed the instructions and with some mental arithmetic soon arrived at GZ.A very pleasing second to find.

... | Q1 | GLDBR2R3 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Mr Mercator | #406. Followed in the footsteps of Infinson (who clearly had more ideas about things than I did), being tutored by Grahame, learning pacing techniques, very educational and far better fun using one's brain rather than following an arrow. TFTC. |
... | Q1 | GLDBR77R | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | gillywig | Knew where this was! Ventured out with sircache1 infinson and Mr Mercator (Scott, Ian and Rob). Great fun watching them calibrate their pace then finding the posts. After a very muddy traverse, Ian and Rob crossed the pool to sign the log. Thanks Ray for this one, enjoyed all aspects of it. |
... | Q1 | GLDBTP7Y | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Mathsnut | #486 Following the ?s About ?s event, we adjourned to the White Horse for lunch where we met Fenners1984 and enjoyed some very pleasant chat, food and puzzle solving. Then we set off to collect the new puzzle caches, catching up with Fenners1984 on the way. This cache was an entertaining change, solving on the go, providing Mr Maths with a chance to show off his flashy compass app. The extreme mud was a different sort of challenge! And we had been warned that it was worse further on So just the chaps and Mathsnut Junior waded through the last section, and she retrieved the cache for us. TFTC |
... | Q1 | GLDBVNEJ | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | mel-ray | We took part in these after the event. T4T£ |
... | Q1 | GLDBWW8Z | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Doggywalker | In true gillywig style we set out after working out the puzzles in pub.
Really muddy paths here but after a paddle through the mud Beastmarsta quickly spotted this one.
TFT Lesson and the Cache |
... | Q1 | GLDC70E7 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Box Teddies | After the ?'s about ?'s we retired to the local for refreshment and some solving. Enjoyed the walk with some great caching friends finding and signing as team Crow....... something. Some muddy areas and a bit of rain, all added to the fun. Thanks Mr Crow, enjoyed the day. |
... | Q1 | GLDCK9H9 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Mathsnut Junior | After the very useful meeting and a delicious lunch at the White horse, it was off to find some caches. It made sense to do this cache first. Off we went and followed the puzzle. After swimming through the lake and trekking through the mud we arrived at GZ. Great cache. TFTC :D |
... | Q1 | GLDD20P3 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | foxscout | After a really lovely puzzle solving session in the pub, we headed out to see if we could find these new caches. During the first Essex Camping Event I decided to have a go some Gillywig style caching and it was there that I discovered that 1 foxscout big pace is approximately equal to 3 foot. Today I wasn't in my usual walking boots and I wondered if I should adjust for the oversized wellies that I was wearing? I suspect I should have also adjusted for the slipping and sliding in mud I came up slightly short but BEASTIE soon spotted where this was hidden. Found in lovely company on a fantastic caching day. Thank you for the fun puzzle and for placing this cache Gillywig & Kitty!! & Mr Crow. |
... | Q1 | GLDF1DFD | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | BEASTMARSTA | This is the first of the 5 meat puzzle caches we grabbed today.
A nice hide.
Thanks four the cache

... | Q2 | GLDB3BWR | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | RachelnRedd | After leaving the village hall, settled down in the pub with a1nnie, happileigh and vanguard 3 to solve these puzzles. Was quite pleased that I could recall most of these capital cities, and with the help of Bob who could recall the rest, we worked out the GZ and plotted it on his map. Looked a bit out so recounted Argentina, that looked better. Getting to GZ required wading through ankle deep liquid mud, slipping and sliding in all directions we found GZ surrounded by many fallen trees and branches. Great location, lovely views, and a great container! Thanks for a fantastic puzzle caching day out. |
... | Q2 | GLDB3R1E | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Fenners1984 | Having solved the puzzles in the pub following the event nearby, Mrs F and I ventured out to find this one and were joined by the Mathsnuts on our trip round - lovely to meet you all! TFTC #472 |
... | Q2 | GLDB599P | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | cazmockett | #2468 found @ 15:10 My geography O Level was a looooong time ago, and although I knew some of the answers, I had to google some of the more obscure capitals on my phone in the middle of a field. Isn't the mobile interwebs wonderful? Huge gloopy mud between Q3 and Q2 and I remember this location from the former Downham Loop (now retired). Liked the container - that was fun! TFTC. |
... | Q2 | GLDB6NPW | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Bonanza K&D | Another of these clever puzzle caches published today that we solved in the pub after the event. That we then squelched down the very boggy footpaths to find. Thank you. |
... | Q2 | GLDB778Z | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | happileigh | Solved in the pub after the caching event and tackled the mud mob handed. TFTC! |
... | Q2 | GLDB7FG5 | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | greysman | Going backwards to here from Q3 realised that India's New giving a different result and much closer to my original route. By this time I was in the middle of two or three other groups, quick find and left others to replace the cache.

Epically failing on this one at the quiz, I had the chance to make up for it on this puzzle, one in particular my 'local knowledge' helped.

... | Q2 | GLDBR3RK | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Mr Mercator | More mental challenges, with a bit of verification from the internet. Thanks to Gilliwig, Infinson and sircache 1 who deserve most credit, I had minimal input. #407 |
... | Q2 | GLDBR9RE | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | gillywig | Really like this puzzle. Much discussion amongst the team about South America then off to find. Half of the team went passed before being called back. Great container in a familiar hide. SL jtj FTF . It appears that everybody else is attempting these in a different order. TFTC. Seconds after replacing greysman then mel-ray appeared ... the first of many cachers met en route. |
... | Q2 | GLDBTWTH | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Mathsnut | #488 Following the ?s About ?s event, we took advantage of the free WiFi in the White Horse, while we had lunch, to look up some capital cities. Mathsnut Junior did the maths and we soon had a solution. We approached from the direction of Q3 to avoid the rumoured waist-deep mud, so we only had ankle-deep mud! It turns out that Mathsnut Junior's boots are not particularly water-proof The hint helped us all spot the hiding place without difficulty, but the approach was more of a challenge And we loved the container. TFTC. |
... | Q2 | GLDBVNZ3 | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | mel-ray | We took part in these after the event. T4T$ |
... | Q2 | GLDBWWFW | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Doggywalker | Really liked this puzzle. Brought back memories of geography lessons in school

... | Q2 | GLDD20QB | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | foxscout | After a really lovely puzzle solving session in the pub, we headed out to see if we could find these new caches. I enjoyed solving this. There was much scratching of heads and searching on smart phones After debating a few we settled on our answers and had a decent looking plot. I enjoyed the walk to this and was glad I had pinched Mrs foxscout's wellies this morning Love this little cache and hide Found in lovely company on a fantastic caching day! Thank you for the fun puzzle and for placing this cache Kitty!! & Mr Crow. |

... | Q3 | GLDB3D20 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | RachelnRedd | After leaving the village hall, settled down in the pub with a1nnie, happileigh and vanguard 3 to solve these puzzles. I can't take any credit for this one .. A bit of a struggle here but luckily then along came Kitty. After a nudge we saw the light. Lovely footpath leading to this one from the road, great spot by Happileigh who tried to convince the group arriving from the opposite direction that it had been muggled, but they weren't convinced! Great hide, now on to the next! |
... | Q3 | GLDB3R4Y | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Fenners1984 | Having solved the puzzles in the pub following the event nearby, Mrs F and I ventured out to find this one and were joined by the Mathsnuts on our trip round - lovely to meet you all! TFTC #473 |
... | Q3 | GLDB57QN | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | cazmockett | #2467 found @ 15:00 A lovely schlepp through the mud from the road to this one. Initially I had the numbers wrong but a quick conversation with some of the puzzlers coming in the opposite direction and I realised my mistake. Once at GZ the find was straightforward. I was grateful to remain upright and glooped on to Q2! |
... | Q3 | GLDB6NM9 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Bonanza K&D | Another one solved thanks to the tips we picked up at today's event. And another splash and slide along a muddy footpath to find this very well disguised cache. |
... | Q3 | GLDB7EFT | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | happileigh | Had help with the co-ords at the puzzle event and enjoyed the walk with other cachers. Found the cache and made another group we met find the hidey hole before we handed it over TFTC! |
... | Q3 | GLDB7EW0 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | greysman | Claiming FTF here After a quickish find at Q1 I took off over the field and worked Q2 out but it seemed to be way off. Also worked this one on the hoof and decided to try for it. Fought my way through a wood and found the extra-muddy path along its southern edge, then cacher's eye took over and the prize was mine at 1250. Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. TFTC |
... | Q3 | GLDB7J56 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | a1nnie | Solving this one took me ages to work out but I finally got the numbers in the right order and away we went. Nice quick find here. TFTC. |
... | Q3 | GLDBA5JG | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | kareninwb | Puzzles solved in the pub it was off to find them with Mel-Ray. Soooooo muddy along here. Met several other groups of cachers along the route. TFTC |
... | Q3 | GLDBJDCT | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | infinson | No.3485
This was the puzzle that caused the most problems until a careful read of the information on the page was undertaken. We joined the line of signees at GZ (did we need to solve this!!)

... | Q3 | GLDBJGK0 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Kris&Co | After the morning's lessons we moved over to the pub, at sat applying our new skills. Once we had solved the list we decided to set out and get them before having refreshments.
It took a little while to get this one, as I was wrongly on another train of thought, thankfully there was enough people around to set me right.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | Q3 | GLDBR49G | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Mr Mercator | It was very wet and muddy, but so much better than being indoors. TFTC. #408 |
... | Q3 | GLDBRC0Z | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | gillywig | Caused much confusion. Even a mid-field conference failed to resolve it. Only plan: plot Q4 and look out for it on the way. Need not of worried, first greysman put us straight then nearing the hide Bob(vanguard3) and his 'three ladies' had the cache in hand. Finally the hint was quite clear. Great fun in the mud. Mel-Ray had joined the group as we set off to Q4. TFTC. |
... | Q3 | GLDBTTP1 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Mathsnut | #487 Mathsnut Junior solved this puzzle for us while we had lunch after the ?s About ?s event. There was a slight mishap over decoding/recoding, but she got there quickly enough. We had found Q1 in the company of Fenners1984 and then doubled-back following advice about the amount of mud on the circuit, so reached this cache before Q2. There was still lots of mud in this direction too, and a fallen fence panel blocking the path, but we soldiered on. Mr Maths found this one as the rest of us had overshot a little. TFTC. |
... | Q3 | GLDBVP2N | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | mel-ray | We took part in these after the event. T4T$ |
... | Q3 | GLDBWWR3 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Doggywalker | Solved all the puzzles at home afterwards and just followed the pack to these.
Thanks for the walk and the puzzle. |
... | Q3 | GLDC7150 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Box Teddies | Thought I'd sorted this puzzle, but wasn't on the right track. Soon got there with some tips from the others in the pub. Thanks Mr Crow. |
... | Q3 | GLDCKBE9 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Mathsnut Junior | Third find of the day. After solving the puzzle at lunch, we set off to our co-ordinates. As we had been warned of extreme mud, we had to go past this on our way to get Q2. It took a bit of searching before we found and signed the log. |
... | Q3 | GLDD20RX | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | foxscout | After a really lovely puzzle solving session in the pub, we headed out to see if we could find these new caches. I enjoyed solving this. Whilst the others where still debating capital cities, Ray of Mel-Ray and I made swift work of this one Lovely muddy walk to GZ and just as I began searching, Beastie walked over and pointed straight at the cache Neat little hide! Found in lovely company on a fantastic caching day! Thank you for the fun puzzle and for placing this cache Kitty!! & Mr Crow. |
... | Q3 | GLDF1J3B | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | BEASTMARSTA | This is the third of the 5 meat puzzle caches we grabbed today.
Got to gz and instantly though "i wonder if this is it" it was! good hide.
Thanks four the cache
@BEASTMARSTA |
... | Q4 | GLDB3E7N | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | RachelnRedd | After leaving the village hall, settled down in the pub with a1nnie, happileigh and vanguard 3 to solve these puzzles. I enjoyed solving this - yes, you had to be careful with K! Arriving at this cache, lovely footpath from the road although happileigh had been drenched by a passing car splashing through a puddle, I managed to get my hands on this one. Met greysman here who had had an adventurous walk through paths and woods, and he joined our happy throng. Another great puzzle and cache, thank you! |
... | Q4 | GLDB3R93 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Fenners1984 | Having solved the puzzles in the pub following the event nearby, Mrs F and I ventured out to find this one and were joined by the Mathsnuts on our trip round - lovely to meet you all! TFTC #474 |
... | Q4 | GLDB51RA | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | cazmockett | #2465 FTF! found @ 13:20 Made a bit of a hash of this one. Worked out the numbers at the village hall and then had the devil's own job finding a way to the right GZ from Q5. Then I realised I had a number wrong. Recalculated and had to backtrack a long way to get to the right place. Didn't help that my GPS batteries ran out at Q5 and so I was using my iPhone to navigate to this one. Got there in the end. Even more surprised to find a fresh blank log sheet here. Whoop! I get so few FTF's I have to make the most of it |
... | Q4 | GLDB6NT7 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Bonanza K&D | This one we would not have solved without the tips we learnt at today's event. Thank you once again for organizing it Mr Crow. |
... | Q4 | GLDB7H46 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | greysman | Thanks to a nudge I worked this one quite quickly, but which way to go from Q2? Decided on south to De Beauvoir Chase and an approach from the south as I was fed up with all that mud. It was a much better tramp south and to the main road but from there the footpath pointed straight into a wood with no obvious way out. Managed to get through and found a path pointing in the correct direction to a find with a group, vanguard3, happileigh rachel'n'rio and a1nnie, coming from the other direction along the blocked - from the south - path which I wanted.
Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out.
TFTC |
... | Q4 | GLDB7JRT | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | a1nnie | The morning's puzzle solving session had equipped us with the tools to solve the puzzle which we did in the pub after the event. Nice quick find in the early afternoon with vanguard3, happileigh and rachel'n'rio. Here we met up with graysman who had had a more adventurous route to this GZ. TFTC and a spectacular puzzle. |
... | Q4 | GLDB7M35 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | happileigh | Puzzled this out in the pub after the puzzle event. K was certainly tricky. Thought I was on dry land when we reached the road but a passing car deliberately drenched me from head to foot pressed on and met greysman who had had his own adventures-nice to meet you! TFTC! |
... | Q4 | GLDBA6GH | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | kareninwb | Number four for us as well. Our initial coordinates were slightly wrong (the K being the tricky component). Fortunately our error was spotted by Mr Crow before setting off. Arrived at Gz just before another group of cachers. TFTC |
... | Q4 | GLDBJEVQ | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | infinson | No.3486
This was soon solved and also soon found at GZ.Now on to the last.

... | Q4 | GLDBJHTN | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Kris&Co | After the morning's lessons we moved over to the pub, at sat applying our new skills. Once we had solved the list we decided to set out and get them before having refreshments.
So pleased that my thoughts about how to do this were right, though it took some time to get the right numbers, as we miscalculated one at first.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | Q4 | GLDBR4P6 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Mr Mercator | Thoroughly enjoyed today's puzzle caches and the company of fellow cachers. #409 |
... | Q4 | GLDBRD52 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | gillywig | No problem with the puzzle after the meet. Just followed the many to here. By the time the log was signed the group that returned to the road was in double figures. TFTC. |
... | Q4 | GLDBV29X | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Mathsnut | #489 I'm not sure I would have worked this one out without attending the ?s About ?s event earlier in the day, we certainly didn't get around to solving it during the competition. But luckily we had a handy answer sheet to help us out while we had lunch and the answer was quickly found We were still in company with Fenners1984 and very much enjoyed the sunshine which made a lovely change to the reent weather. Incredibly muddy underfoot though TFTC. |
... | Q4 | GLDBVP6P | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | mel-ray | We took part in these after the event. T4T$ |
... | Q4 | GLDBWX0F | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Doggywalker | Actually solved this in the pub afterwards once Kris had explained what to do. Smart! Thanks |
... | Q4 | GLDC71QR | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Box Teddies | I do like alphabits... A very clever puzzle. thank you. |
... | Q4 | GLDD20VE | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | foxscout | After a really lovely puzzle solving session in the pub, we headed out to see if we could find these new caches. A is for alpha...B is for bites...C for yourself...they taste just right I love alphabites with fried mushrooms and sosmix sausages! Mmm that's got me thinking about Kitty's lovely breakfast... We met up with lots of other cachers as we got to GZ... Found in lovely company on a fantastic caching day! Thank you for the fun puzzle and for placing this cache Kitty!! & Mr Crow. |

@BEASTMARSTA |
... | Q5 | GLDB3FNR | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | RachelnRedd | After leaving the village hall, settled down in the pub with a1nnie, happileigh and vanguard 3 to solve these puzzles. Crikey, don't know how Bob did this one, but I was really helpful and just wrote down the numbers. Soon found GZ after walking along some lovely lanes and admiring the snowdrops. I will give this one my favourite for the series due to nice little footpath, the sunshine, the well made cache and the fact that I was the one standing ankle deep in mud in the ditch! Had a fantastic day, thanks for all your hard work. |
... | Q5 | GLDB3HWX | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | julietr4 | This is the only cache we grabbed today as muddy fields didn't appeal today. DT would like to award this a favourite point! Great puzzle and one we could actually do! TFTC #1,757 |
... | Q5 | GLDB3RHZ | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | Fenners1984 | Having solved the puzzles in the pub following the event nearby, Mrs F and I ventured out to find this one and were joined by the Mathsnuts on our trip round - lovely to meet you all! TFTC #476 |
... | Q5 | GLDB4ZB8 | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | cazmockett | #2464 FTF! found @ 12:20 Crunched the numbers for this at the village hall. Then moved my car to the tennis courts car park so took quite a walk to this one. Surprised and very pleased to find a blank log sheet - especially given the number of clever folks at the event who usually pip us to the FTF post |
... | Q5 | GLDB6NWV | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | Bonanza K&D | Another clever puzzle cache that we solved with help after the event. |
... | Q5 | GLDB7JTF | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | greysman | Quite an easy puzzle solved on the hoof between Q2 and Q3. Then accompanied vanguard3, happileigh, rachel'n'rio and a1nnie to this and had some good chat on the way making the time go by quickly, many thanks. Park Lane extremely busy with Chelsea tractors ferrying offspring to and from the riding stables. Wonder how many will see a pony or horse when they're older?

... | Q5 | GLDB7KE6 | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | a1nnie | Found whilst caching with caching pals after the puzzle solving event this morning. Thanks for a nice puzzle, cache and series. A really enjoyable day. |
... | Q5 | GLDB7QPH | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | happileigh | Solved mob handed after the puzzle event - well the mob solved it rather more than me- well done the Vanguard! Enjoyed the walk-was that the sun I glimpsed?? TFTC! |
... | Q5 | GLDBA7AV | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | kareninwb | I thought this was the hardest of the 5 puzzles but it was solved by Julietr4 who had joined our table in the pub. The final find of the five new caches. Thanks for all the hard work. Enjoyed the walk round to collect them despite the mud. |
... | Q5 | GLDBJGBH | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | infinson | No.3487

... | Q5 | GLDBV9RZ | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | Mathsnut | #491 The last cache of the day, and this puzzle was definitely right up our street We really enjoyed the ?s About ?s event in the morning, solving the caches over lunch whilst chatting with new acquaintances, and then finding the caches. It was great to have such lovely weather - we haven't been able to go out for such a long caching walk for a long time. We were rather exhausted by fighting through all the mud, so we were pleased to find this last in the series, and head home. TFTC. |

A thoroughly enjoyable morning and a great opportunity to finally put some faces to names! Great tutorials from Ray and Grahame - I'm thoroughly impressed with GPS-less caching!

... | X-QS2 | GLDB3TMK | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | xlive2 | A big thank you to Mr Crow for hosting another really good informative event. Even tho most of it went straight over my head the bits that I did get will be really valuable. Thanx for the puzzle checklist as I think that will be a big help. Hopefully will be able to find more RR caches in the summer. TFTE. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB3WQA | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | jacqui52 | I was looking forward to this so much, I attended twice! Thank you so much for such a brilliant morning, the talks were really helpful and informative, I used to think I was reasonably smart, now I just feel dense :(. I need to practise more on puzzles. Am determined to try more of Mr Crows puzzles, laptop out tonight I guess. Unfortunately we couldn't stay to cache this afternoon as had to repair shed roof whilst vaguely dry but will returns soon to get the new ones. We didn't pick them up at the event and so are waiting with bated breath for them to be published.
Special thanks also to your catering crew, they did a brilliant job keeping us fed. I hope you made lots of money for MS.
Thanks again, already looking forward to the next event |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB45V0 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | beanie28 | Thank you to Mr Crow for hosting another really good informative event.The different types of way to solve these caches went straight over my head but the laminated sheet will be really handy when solving these types of puzzles. Hopefully will be able to solve and find some of these RR caches in the future. TFTE. tb drop also |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB47WR | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Mathsnut | #485 We really enjoyed last year's event, so were delighted to be able to attend another one. Many thanks to Mr Crow and Kitty for their great efforts organising it all - the lessons, the catering and the competitions. We were very interested too in Graham's talk about not using your GPS - something I hope to use with the kids at school. It was a shame to have to rush out of the hall but the nearby pub provided a perfect opportunity to solve the new puzzles and make new friends. The day was then finished off with a rather squelchy walk with Fenners1984 in search of caches - always a pleasure to meet other cachers. Thanks again. Junior is now inspired, so hopefully we can put our heads together and get solving. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB4ME2 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | vanguard3 | Lovely Event Ray. A massive effort on your part to pass on information to assist in puzzle cache solving, particularly yours. I will try better. Most enjoyable too. Great catering (can Kitty & the lads do me bacon & eggs tomorrow morning please?, about 9ish). Graham's gps-less caching stories were fun too. A good second venue in the pub - solving puzzles with friends and a beer, leading to a walk when the sun shone for a while. Thanks. As I can't give favourites for Events I'll just have to send kisses XXXX. Lots of them to the whole crew.

... | X-QS2 | GLDB4QER | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Grandpa_Steve | Great even Mr Crow and Kitty. Lovely to meet you and so many other cacher's at last. Picked up some valuable tips. Decided not to try to solve the new puzzles today but will return with Grannie_Steve.
Thanks for organising this, I know it takes a lot of effort and I'm sure we're all really grateful. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB4VKA | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | cazmockett | #2463 found @ 09:30 Excellent event as usual, very informative, delicious bacon sarnies and all the tea you could drink. What more could you ask for? Tried to get my brain into gear for the test, didn't do quite as badly as I feared. Thanks for all the RR hints - I still hate anagrams with a passion, but I guess we have no excuses now |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB4YMB | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | geralduscambrensis | I, too, really enjoyed last year's event, so was overjoyed to be able to attend another one. Many thanks to Mr Crow and Kitty, delicious bacon roll, for their great efforts organising it all. I'll be glad when there are more vegetarians and we get sent round the spare bacon butties. And thanks to Grahame for his entertaining and inspiring presentation on the mystique that is GPSr-less caching.As a retired geography teacher I find it and the Gillywigs awesome. Disappointed not to have bumped into Kareninwb but I hope the event lived up to my PR. TBs for mileage #1244 |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB5FBF | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Bonanza K&D | Arrived to a warm welcome Thank You Mr Crow and the delicious smell of Bacon & Coffee Thank You Kitty, we logged in and got all our tickets and The first test of the Day, armed with Coffee and Bacon Butties we sat ourselves down. Mr Crow explained the mathematical equations and ciphers used in puzzle caches and our heads spun with information, after the quiz, the raffle and the awards the question of were we ready to put the information we had learned to the test? With a sheet of puzzle caches we adjourned to the pub with many other geo buddies to solve the new Puzzle Circuit!
Thank you Mr Crow & Kitty and to all those who assisted with the event and a special Thank you to Gillywig Grahame for the entertainment :) |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB5VDP | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Lesleyanne | Well walked in on a very full hall, smell of bacon still sizzling in the air and plenty of tea and coffee. Head still spinning from the info given regarding solutions to Mr Crow's puzzles but feel more inspired to attempt some but not Gillywigs way, I like my gps. Did not manage to put many names too faces but hopefully will in time, thanks for arranging and would like the recipe for that delicious cake presumably made by Kitty x x |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB65CA | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | peegeenine | Thanks for a great morning especially the bacon butties, not sure how much we can remember but hopefully we can now attempt some more puzzles. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB6YFY | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | happileigh | Thanks for all the hard work that went into this and the help with the caches ,which we enjoyed finding in the afternoon. Gillywig -awesome! |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB79JA | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | greysman | Great morning, thanks Mr.Crow, you and Kitty have really worked hard and we all appreciate it. The other attendees have said it all. The next time we sit crOw levels remind me to start with the harder questions and work towards the easier ones, great fun. Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. TFTC |
... | X-QS2 | GLDB7H5G | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | a1nnie | Arrived just in time for the morning's event after having navigated round fallen trees, overflowing ditches and other detritus in the roads following last night's dreadful winds. Thanks for another very well organised event. Oodles of bacon sandwiches and tea topped off with 'Kitty cake' which was. as always, absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed Graham's tales about paperless caching. Sounds like too much hard work for me - I always end up losing count when pacing! After a hurried decamp out of the hall, we all hightailed it to the pub just a few hundred feet down the road - good planning guys. A quick drink and puzzle solving session followed. Afterwards we did the small circuit of the newly published caches. The mud we encountered was described as just like "cow pats". Really enjoyed the day; thank you so very much for all the massive amount of hard work that has been put into it; most appreciated. I now feel inspired to try some more RR puzzles, particularly the playing card ones which I originally had no idea where to start on. Another FAVE point for a brilliant event. |

... | X-QS2 | GLDB9RH3 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | kareninwb | I had been on holiday in Norfolk for the week but returned early to attend the ?s about ?s event. It took almost three hours to get there but I'm glad I attended. I find the Crow's puzzle caches very difficult and for most of them I don't even know where to start. I probably still won't be able to solve them without help but I've nw got a better understanding on where to start. Hopefully a few more of those blue question marks will turm to smily faces on my map.
Please to see so many people there - many of whom I have met before but lots of new faces as well.
Thanks Ray, Anne Gilly and Graeme for all yor hard worK. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBC325 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | gillywig | A huge thank you to Anne & Ray for the incredible amount of planning and preparation. Thank you also for the food, prizes, competitions, certificates and caches. A particular thank you to Ray for the lesson and laminated handout. I(Gr) would like to say how much I enjoyed the opportunity to talk, and thank all the attendees for the kind words they have written in their logs. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBFMVV | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | King of the Pundits | An honour to meet the Crow at long last and to put many faces to names. I've been slow recently in adding solutions to my existing haul of Rally Rounds but after some enlightening moments during the day I feel sure I can add enough to put Ian under some pressure at some point this spring. The food was great; was pleased to at last meet Bean and Sprout and although I had to rush off to football I had a great time. Thanks Kitty and Crow and everyone else who put in such an effort. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBGHZP | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Malpas Wanderer | Enjoyed what I stayed for but wasn't in the mood for the exam and left early.
Novel to see cachers solely using maps and I compared it to one of our local cachers also a teacher that solely used maps in her early days of caching.
Thanks for staging the event. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBJ4PG | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Kris&Co | A big thank you to Ray and Anne for putting on and organizing another great event. I made it just in time after having to re-route due to fallen trees and whatever other debris was laying on the roads. The bacon butties were lovely as were the cakes. Thank you to Anne and all your helpers for being great caterers. And thank you Ray for enlightening us a bit more, I think I understand a little bit more some of the methods used. The quiz was a bit stressful as reflected on my results , but it was a laugh. A Thank you to Graeme for explaining some of the howto's without a GPS, it was interesting to hear how it's done. If it's possible to get a quiz sheet sent please, so I can have a look and work through the questions to help understand even more, without the pressure After the event Teamed up with Doggywalker, Foxscout, Decker1257, Beastmarsta and Boxteddies to go out and grab the new puzzles. Thank you for the Event Mr Crow |

This was a very informative event once again. revealing some interesting cache solving methods. A great anecdotal filled presentation from Graham (Of Gillywig Fame) Bacon buties from Kitty and a lot of infromation from The Crow. Wonderful I would be sory if I couldn't attend if the event was run again. Now out to grab a few puzzles inn he area.

... | X-QS2 | GLDBJGMF | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Box Teddies | I had an amazing day today. The puzzle talk from crow, the breakfast from Kitty and crew, and Grahams talk were fantastic. Not so good at the quiz,but I knew that would be the case anyway. Well done to all involved in the event. A lot of happy cachers in one place. I've never known a meet so quiet....
After some frantic solving in the pub a group of us enjoyed a dirty walk to pick up the puzzles, signing as team Crowbar, crowmatose, etc etc. Enjoyed spending some time with caching friends. Thanks again. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBPJQV | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Tot66 | Attended with Caliber2000
A very interesting and informative event.
Thank you to Mr Crow and Kitty for organising it. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBR1C0 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Mr Mercator | Excellent event, a big thank you to Mr Crow and Kitty and everyone else who helped. Thoroughly enjoyed the very informative lectures from Ray and Grahame, and sort of enjoyed the test in a masochistic way (or was it just the huge relief when it ended and the pain stopped?). The successful day continued enjoying great company, caching with Gillywig and Infinson and others, a pint of Doom Bar in the pub, and to top it of I won a brilliant OS Nature Atlas in the raffle, what could be more appropriate for Mercator! #405 |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBVN68 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | mel-ray | Thanks to all the effort made to make this happen. This was different from the previous one, but looking forward to the next one. Thanks for a wonderful day, it was a great turnout. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDC7X1E | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | hublander | #2162 Attended this event with Beanie28, Davemcwish and Sammyjw. A great event and was able to use the stuff learnt at this event to help find the cache (GC34JKG Northwest) on Tuesday night after this event. Since we found this cache by not solving the puzzle that is published on the page. Using the spoiler photos and the fact we had found a nearby cache puzzle cache so knew where the cache could not be. When doing the exam we put our rating down a D but we found out when putting the answers it we should have been in a different band. But then with 4 of us working together you could say our combined rating should be D. Since beanie28 is good with Anagrams and me and Davemcwish are good with Mathes puzzles we worked well as a team. I always like Mr Crow and Kitty Events you learn something new and get a good Breakfast. TFTE Mr Crow |
... | X-QS2 | GLDCZ0TF | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | foxscout | Thank you for an excellent event and big thank you to everyone that helped out. Thank you so much Kitty! for the wonderful vegan breakfast and cup of tea I thoroughly enjoyed both Ray and Grahame's talks. I could have listened to Grahame and his geocaching tales all day As 12 o'clock ticked closer we moved on to the nearby pub to solve the puzzles. After a fun and muddy walk, I finished the afternoon with a lovely pint of Aspalls Thank you for my laminated puzzle sheet, which has already proved useful and for my chocolate rabbit and bison. I'm not sure where I will place the bison yet but I am still on the look out for 'foxscout's rediculously easy tree climb' Thank you Mr Crow for another wonderful event. |

... | X-QS2 | GLDF1Y0N | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | whambarqueen | We managed to win an award for best newbie pair in the puzzles exam! Id always assumed I was terrible at anagrams, but its amazing what you can do under pressure :D After the event we went off to find some caches near the reservoir...unfortunately none of them were puzzle caches. We are saving those for another visit in the summer :) |
... | X-QS2 | GLDF3XR3 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | mattwhiskers | Lots of useful info, thanks again (and for the bacon!) |
... | X-QS2 | GLDHBAEA | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | ObiWan2002 | I attended the puzzle event with Whambarqueen and Mattwhiskers although I didn't do any of the puzzles and mostly just ate delicious bacon sandwiches and lovely cakes.....which benefited charity! After the event I ran around the car park tracking down trackables for Whambarqueen and then we went for a long walk and found various non-puzzle caches...which totally doesn't make sense! |
... | X-QS2 | GLDKT8V3 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | davemcwish | Cache find #1622.
I missed the prior event so was anxious to get to this one. On the face of it, sitting in a hall wasn't one of the most entertaining events but it was certainly the most useful with loads of tips in how to solve puzzle caches and handouts to keep.
Travel BABE was very please to get out and have fun somehwere she is allowed .
Attended with sammyjw, hublander & beanie28 at 9:16:00 AM.
Thanks to Mr Crow for organizing.

... | X-QS2 | GLDPFG1G | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Bean & Sprout | Goodness me time has flown by since I aTtended this event. Sorry for the tardiness of my logging! After a very stormy nigHt, it was no surprise to find that I had to divert from my chosen route to the event to avoid closed roAds, falleN trees and other assorted debris. It was still very blustery and I was rather concerned about being able to get the venue at all. I thinK the most worrying thing I passed on route was a van lying on its side in a field several feet from the road (and the other side of a subStantial diTch!) However I did eventually make it, and in gOod time for breakfast. ThanK you for my veggie sausage bap and cup of much needed caffeine (aka tea). Over breakfast there was some discussion about the 'find the cache' puzzle. I was in the right vIcinity with my 'guess', but I was one letTer wrong in my final choice. So after a lovely (although brief) time chaTting over breakfast it was time to knuckle down to some brain gYmnastics. Ray's talk mAde more seNse this year. Or rather, it maDe more sense to me (as I'm sure he was perfeCtly lucid last year too). I think because some of the topics coveRed last year were cOvered again this, so I had more chance to let them sink in without it appearing quite such a whirlWind tour. The laminated sheets are also proving very useFul, althOugh I don't have much time for caching cuRrently, let Alone puzzle solving! ONe of the tips I picked up last year has cOme in useful for solving a mysTery cacHe on the Isle Of Wight, so hoping to collEct that on our tRip there later this year. I'm sure more of the tips will also prove useful in due course (iF/when I start looking at some puzzle caches). GrAham was up next and it was enlightening to hear what GPS-less caching involves. We didn't have a GPS for the first few caches we found, so used a comBination of google maps, cache page info and clUe to find them. I also know of a young Lad near us who gOes out caching withoUt a GPS or smart phone so relieS on a similar method of planning before hand and checking the map and clue (as well as calling his mum for hints). Now we cache with a GPS it is far easiEr I have to say, although not as challenging obViously. I didn't do so wEll on the quiz that followed, although I was only a couple of perceNt off the (bottom of the) leader board, so didn't feel quite so bad about that. Marangas (Anagram: one word) are not my strong point! So onwards it was to the pub after a quick tidy up all ‘round, where I stayed until it was time to go home. Too muddy and wet for me to go out caching today I'm afraid, although I did spend the time trying to work out the puzzles, along with much naTtering and chip eating. Thanks for organising this, I have also ‘hidden’ a message in my log for you to spot.... |
16 Feb 2014 | E101 | GLDBDM2P | Essex 100 - 1/01 - Bus | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1389 A quick find after a feel about and a refreshment break, for myself and my GPS TFTC |
... | E102 | GLDBDNBD | Essex 100 - 1/02 - Blind | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1390 A very quick find, I dropped off a travel bug I'd had for a little while, it's looking forward to carrying on it's journey! TFTC |

... | E104 | GLDBDPFK | Essex 100 - 1/04 - Wash | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1392 I got attacked by a few trees here but in all a quick find, signed log and returned where found! TFTC |
... | E105 | GLDBDQ2M | Essex 100 - 1/05 - Lonely | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1393 A very quick find, signed log and returned, nearly at the end!!1 TFTC |
... | E106 | GLDBDQXX | Essex 100 - 1/06 - Rook | Write note | squirtchy | Muggles of the fishing kind parked up at nearby gate and decided to let themselves into the parking for the lake in their many numbers so had to abandon search for this one and unfortunitly a few others |
... | E107 | GLDBDRFK | Essex 100 - 1/07 - Passing | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1384 A quick find after waiting for a few cars and a walking muggle to pass! My last cache find for the day!! TFTC |
... | E110 | GLDBCY88 | Essex 100 - 1/10 - Pub | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1380 I've been waiting to do this series for a while, I a) wanted a nice day to start it and b) wanted a GPS to use rather than my phone, this sunday seemed like the perfect day to do it. I got dropped off right outside this one, and walked straight to it, a nice quick find, can't believe this is so in the open yet so hidden Now the walk begins!! TFTC |
... | E111 | GLDBD0D8 | Essex 100 - 1/11 - Beach | Didn't find it | squirtchy | I did have a little look at where i thought the cache would be, however muggles galore around the sea wall so searching became a bit of an issue, although the cache still may be there, just another excuse to spend some time near the sea to find some more caches |
... | E111A | GLDBD314 | Essex 100 - 1/11A - Escape | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1381 A quick find after some muggles who had decided to look through their binoculars right where i wanted to be had moved on TFTC |
... | E112 | GLDBD5W4 | Essex 100 - 1/12 - Wall | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1382 A quick find here once looking on the right wall TFTC |
... | E113 | GLDBD7JJ | Essex 100 - 1/13 - Rusty | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1383 I went straight to this one which makes a change, waited for a few passing muggles though before returning the cache, sounded like a domestic going on up on the sea wall, all over beach huts apparently!! haha TFTC |
... | E114 | GLDBD9HF | Essex 100 - 1/14 - Osea | Didn't find it | squirtchy | I looked over, under, on and around the only two possible places (going by the clue) that the cache could be, there was a nice cachers path all around GZ, but alas, no cache , onto the next one> |
... | E115 | GLDBDA82 | Essex 100 - 1/15 - Sluice | Write note | squirtchy | DOH! for some bizarre reason this one wasn't on the GPS, more of a reason to come back here again soon! |
... | E116 | GLDBDBAC | Essex 100 - 1/16 - Rock | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1384 At this point i must have had a group of about 50 muggle ramblers behind me and approaching fast, i had to quickly get cache (which i did) sign (which i did) and leave without them catching up to me (mission successful) On to the next one! TFTC |
... | E117 | GLDBDDE5 | Essex 100 - 1/17 - Grass | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1385 As i approached this one my feet began to slowly sink in to the mud, but i waded on, looked around and thought, who would hide a cache in some grass, but my Cachers eye worked in my favour and i saw what pervious logs had said, cache was soon in hand and signed! TFTC |
... | E118 | GLDBDEQM | Essex 100 - 1/18 - Hawthorn | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1386 A quick find after looking under the wrong tree first! A large cachers train around here so you can't really go wrong! TFTC |
... | E119 | GLDBDF9Y | Essex 100 - 1/19 - Instep | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1387 A quick find, them rambling muggles seem to be catching up to me, and fast, time to start jogging to the next cache! TFTC |
... | E120 | GLDBDGCN | Essex 100 - 1/20 - Bounds | Didn't find it | squirtchy | Had a good look but couldn't find anything, judging by others logs this can be a tricky one so maybe i was just blinded by the sun, on the plus side, me rummaging and hiding/ taking photos/ dropping my gps and having to dry it meant the formula one style rambling muggles had time to walk past me |
... | E121 | GLDBDHKD | Essex 100 - 1/21 - Channel | Found it | squirtchy | Cache find 1388 A very quick find however this will need maintenance as log book was soaked, i didn't take it out of the container as i didn't want to risk not being able to get it back in thus leaving the cache empty TFTC |
... | E122 | GLDBDKA6 | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Write note | squirtchy | As i get 30ft away from gz, a muggle walks straight past, stops right beside me, turns to me, then shouts to a man cutting a nearby tree "hiya" nearly causing me permanent deafness and meaning i couldn't look for the cache I'll be back! |
... | Q2 | GLDB9ZXV | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | vanguard3 | Very muddy 3 to 2. Puzzle was fine. Solved it while still trying to get access to the pub's WiFi. Never did get on line. TFTC. #5551 |
... | Q3 | GLDB9ZDA | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | vanguard3 | I've already forgotten how the group solved this one: It is a day later now!. Made this our No 2 cache to avoid some mud -- failed. Enjoyed a bit of fun hiding the cache when another group arrived. TFTC. #5550. |
... | Q4 | GLDBA100 | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | vanguard3 | Our No 4 cache was indeed No 4. That simplicity did not last for long. Puzzle was solved as we were led by previous exposure to such conundrums. TFTC. Did I mention mud? No - not so bad here. #5552 |
... | Q5 | GLDBA3NK | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | vanguard3 | A Fav for this one (& the day, & the series) not least because I understood the mathematical symbols so could get straight down to working on this one. I knew I'd brought my calculator for a reason. TFTC. #5554. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBEE7X | ?s About ?s #2 | DK | Mr Crow | Kitty!! and I were overwhelmed with your support and enthusiasm. So many attendees which made the hall cosily busy. Many happy smiley faces at the end and now many smiley faces appearing on the geocaching map having arranged a sunny Saturday afternoon and Sunday for you! We were very appreciative of those that helped set-up and clear-up on our busy schedule especially Mel, Ray, Grahame, Gilly, Gary and Julie; our junior chefs (Ted and Jake) for cooked breakfast; Mathsnut for chocolate cakes; and those that brought prizes for the raffle and made donations. I'd really welcome feedback from anyone that makes use of the "Mr Crow Puzzle Cache Checklistâ€.
Applause for Grahame and his (too) brief and funny expose of life without a GPS. I think we will have to organise another event and give him a two hour spot to do the subject real justice. I hope the "exam" wasn't too stressful. When you work through the solutions provided you should be in a position to add quite a few Rally Round puzzle caches to your haul. Congratulations to all the class winners in the exam. Eat your bunny, place your bison and display your certificate with pride. Top scorer was Fenners1984 with 75% who took away a framed certificate. Other notable scores were: Mathsnuts(67), Grandpa_Steve (63), gillywig(60); julietr4(60), King of the Pundits(57), Greysman(56) and Foxscout(52). There were four correct answers to the breakfast quiz and Grandpa_Steve was drawn as the winner.
Funny that Mr Mercator won the atlas in the raffle and that the holder of ticket 914 didn't claim their bottle of Presecca, which Kitty said she will drink if not claimed within a week! If you would like PDFs of the breakfast quiz, exam, exam answers, or the presentation slides please email your request.
We have some photos from the official photographer for the event (Kitty's daughter Jessica) which we will post later. I've done a quick tot-up of income and expenses and I'll be passing about £80 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Again many thanks for your support and enabling us to make this donation. |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBF21V | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | olivesmith | Just like to add my thanks to Ray and Kitty for all their hard work and also to Gilly/ Grahame -( I agree with Ray I could have listened to Grahame for a couple of hours!!!) why were teachers never like him when I was at school? I am not sure how much of what we were shown will result in me managing to do some RR's but I will at least now give them a go. olivesmith & jeanief |
... | X-QS2 | GLDBF8G5 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Kitty!! | I was there!
I reiterate Ray's thanks to all the people who helped us set up, cater and put away - difficult naming those to thank as so many of you did. I was in a mild state of panic near the end as the owners of the hall were insistent that everything had to be put back and the hall vacated at 12 noon. Thank you so much for helping us. I am so glad the pub was nearby - not because this cat is a dipso but because it meant the event could continue and I could chat to more lovely cachers!
I must add thanks to Mathsnuts who provided some delicious chocolate cake and to all those that contributed to the raffle.
I loved Graham's talk on GPSless caching - inspiring and a pleasure to listen to. I regret not realizing that the event was his (and Gilly's) 4 thousand and first cache found without a GPS - worthy of a prize me thinks!
When we decided to run this event we thought we might fill about 40-50 seats - panic set in as the event drew closer and the No of bacon butties to be produced in a 20-30 minute time slot became apparent -250 thick cut rashers of bacon, 4 Linda McCarneys and 42 Quorn sausages were consumed! We couldn't have managed without our chefs!
As for the exam - Mr Crow ran the test by me a few days before the event and to say I squirmed as I sat the exam is an understatement! I was prohibited from leaving my seat 'til completion - it took me nearly two hours - with constant tutorials and cries of "No!" from the Crow as I demonstrated how much fluffage is in my cranium! Bit gutted you were all allowed calculators as I was made to do it in my head!
It was fantastic to see so many happy smiley faces and welcome new cachers and cachers from as far afield as Wales.
Roll on the next event ...

... | X-QS2 | GLDBFPP5 | ?s About ?s #2 | Attended | Doggywalker | Left early in the morning sunshine which stayed all day. I'd had an early night in the hopes that I would be more alert and be able to take it all in. Well that didn't happen. Still think that loads went over my head.. there's still one or two (or maybe three) bits that passed me by, but I'll have a go at a few more puzzles, but may have to stick to my old way of finding crow puzzles Mind you... I was quite pleased with my exam result, for which I thank you for the certificate and puzzle checklist. It was a great event with perfectly cooked bacon butties, yummy cake and an excellent lesson with Graham which I wish could have lasted longer. Thanks Kitty and crew for the catering, raffles and keeping the Crow in line. Thanks Mr Crow |
17 Feb 2014 | RR011X | GLDBVTAE | RR011 - HomeBase | Found it | StratOman | I have been struggling with this puzzle for many months, so was delighted when ATM said he had done it. He also found the cache single handed so I feel a bit guilty claiming this one , but we are a team. TFTC |
... | RR011X | GLDBZ156 | RR011 - HomeBase | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Sometimes you get on path of thought and can't get off. Team man StratOman and I were on just that path with this one, ATM approached from a different angle and bingo a correct solution. He even found it at GZ too. TFTC and a favourite from us. |
... | RR032 | GLDBVWPB | RR032 - Quite Near Olive | Didn't find it | StratOman | A puzzle that had been on the "To do" pile for months. All credit again to ATM for finally coming up with the correct numbers.
We had visited this location in January, when we though we knew where the cache was hidden but got a DNF. This time, armed with the correct co-ords, we were confident but again the elusive cache was nowhere to be seen. A chat to Ray on our way home has lead us to believe the elements may be playing a part in the elusive cache , so we will add it to the list for our next visit. DNF Again !!! |
... | RR032 | GLDBZ0H5 | RR032 - Quite Near Olive | Didn't find it | deebooted & ATM | An odd puzzle presenting a confusing result or rather results. We tried before but were a little out so checker said no and at GZ we made no find. This time after sifting out some more hidden info ATM worked on it again and came up with a solution the checker liked! Headed off today to GZ and with the recent weather we very much think it is rather inaccessible right now without getting very wet. So sadly we report a DNF for now. Roll on summer! |
... | RR069 | GLDBWNNV | RR069 - Much.Wittiness | Found it | StratOman | This puzzle had been on the "To do" pile for a long time so Deebooted & I decided to give it another go. We were chatting on FB when I suggested something. Dee came back immediately with the answer. I said , you have done it Dee put it in the checker. She said have I , and two minutes later came back , it's correct.
The find unfortunately wasn't so easy as we found a river blocking our route to the cache. I looked round to see Dee legging it over a fence into an adjacent field. I quickly followed but soon we were confronted by a fallen tree. After climbing over we eventually got to GZ and the cache.
A well earned cache TFTC |
... | RR069 | GLDBYW09 | RR069 - Much.Wittiness | Found it | deebooted & ATM | How the solution was arrived at for this one is explained by our friend StratOman in his log. I couldn't believe I had solved it just like that after so many other ways we had all looked at it some time back! grabbing the cache today was not so easy! We strolled along after ATM dropped us off and were met by dreadful flooding blocking our path completely. Well I wasn't going to let that stop me now! I remembered spotting a fence and a track alongside a little way back so went for it. Over the fence along the track, over the fallen tree and back over the fence and through some hawthorn bushes hence cutting out the flood area by a short trespass! at GZ the cache was the easiest part of the exercise. TFTC and and favourite point for much silliness! |
... | RR071X | GLDBWHCY | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | StratOman | Solved this one middle of 2013 but decided to wait until the foliage had died back before we attempted a fine. We decided to go for it on this visit despite the rain. Unfortunately most access routes were flooded but Deebooted and I eventually got into the woods. Nowhere near as bad as we had both expected and we both got to GZ reasonably unscathed.
That was the easy bit, now to try and find our way out. Thankfully Deebooted had taken a waypoint on the way into the woods. Even then it took us a lot longer to get out , than to find the cache, although this was also due to Dee taking many photos of the incredible winter plant life.
One of my all time favourites .... TFTC |
... | RR071X | GLDBZ4V1 | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Can't remember the puzzle solving it was so long ago. Realised the best way for this one was in winter without trees being in leaf. Needed to achieve this before dark on one of visits to the area collecting other puzzle caches. Today seemed good as light is lasting bit longer. We left ATM in the car as he is having a knee replacement operation later this week so this one was not a good idea for him right now! As StratOman and I approached we nearly gave up at the first hurdle when we saw the condition of the ground outside the wooded area! Well it has only not rained for two days since early December! We wandered around looking for the best and driest way in and actually found one! After setting a much needed waypoint at the entrance we had chosen we headed off for our adventure. Our route was one of zig zagging about avoiding the thickest areas of growth. We came out into a bit of clearing and there it was, the tree we had been looking for. I have forgotten my ipad so luckily I had looked at the spoiler last night! Photos of elation added including a "selfe" of the two of us! TFTC and the experience and many photos I took of the delightful trees, moss and lichen. So enjoyed this one and feel chuffed I managed it as my knees are not what they were either! A favourite here for sure! |
... | RR086 | GLDBVY2C | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | StratOman | Thoroughly enjoyed solving this puzzle. Took a while to get my head round building trees but once done the numbers flowed. Fairly easy find at GZ TFTC |
... | RR086 | GLDBYRGC | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Found out what it was, took a look, saw the light through the trees and passed over to StratOman! Atta boy! Easy find at GZ. Took Cloverleaf trolley coin and left card puzzle. TFTC |
... | RR092 | GLDBW5RN | RR092 - Board Game 3 | Found it | StratOman | Deebooted & ATM solved the first part of this puzzle many moons ago but couldn't get the co-ordinates. Recently they sorted the second part of the puzzle and with a nudge from me got the green light from the checked. I converted the the co-ords and we set off for the find feeling very confident. Deebooted & I made our way across a ploughed field only to find the cache was in the middle of it !!! Out came Dee's trusty iPad and we soon realised that I had done the conversion wrong. Not likely to live this one down for a long time, so was glad when the new location lead us to the cache. Must try harder TFTC |
... | RR092 | GLDBZ2HD | RR092 - Board Game 3 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Lovely, right up my street I thought and off to a flying start. Ah now what? Ok stage two done and then? Yes got it. Checker said yes. Left StraOman to convert (he knows about this stuff) Off to GZ today. Long walk in mud. No sign of anywhere it could be. Not happy. Back to car. Grrrr! Photo added! Good job I have mobile data! Conversion done again. Wrong place. Brownie point lost. Off again another long walk in mud and success. Easy find but not where my anagram solved! Anagram wrong! Finally TFTC and a favourite point from us |
... | RR095 | GLDBW29D | RR095 - Ingot Ordeal | Found it | StratOman | Our 100th Rally Round cache, also our 100th correct Rally Round puzzle. (No conjecture for the Statoman/Deebooted & ATM team).
And what a great puzzle to celebrate the occasion. Fairly obvious what to do but how to do it ? Spent ages trying to find the right tool for the job. Definite favourite.
My thanks to Dee and Alan, my caching partners, for putting up with me on all our vists to Tiptree and getting me into this crazy pastime. TFTC and Favourite. |
... | RR095 | GLDBYY5B | RR095 - Ingot Ordeal | Found it | deebooted & ATM | All credit to StratOman for solving this one. When we established what needed to be done I thought my best contribution was to navigate there today. We both thank him too as he has brought brain cells in both of us to the surface that we never knew we had! We work as a team each bringing our own skills into the joint effort. He is a perfectionist who loves puzzles and will not claim a find if he, we or all three of us have not done the puzzle. We agree with him when he says "The whole point of a Puzzle Cache is to do the puzzle so what is the point in conjecturing when there are plenty of traditional caches out there if you don't want to do puzzles" As this is our 100th Rally Round Cache a photo shoot was insisted upon by the man himself. My photo is just of us. Where is he, you may ask? Well he fell in the ditch so we thought he may as well take this whilst he was down there! TFTC |
... | RR103X | GLDBRG80 | RR103 - QRow | Found it | mel-ray | Nice little find on a afternoon stroll. Very muddy, T4T£ |
... | RR105 | GLDBWC2K | RR105 - As the Crow Flies | Found it | StratOman | Well after a previous DNF it was back to the drawing board but only to get exactly the same result It was then I realised I was inputing the co-ordinates incorrectly into the checker. Quick adjustment and up came the green light. So we returned today to exactly the same place as our last visit and there was the cache. Why we didn't see it last time I will never know ... TFTC |
... | RR105 | GLDBYWX3 | RR105 - As the Crow Flies | Found it | deebooted & ATM | These birds have flown back today for another go! Same place too! This time more confidence made us search a tad more thoroughly and there it was safe and sound tucked in nicely! TFTC |
... | RR113 | GLDBW7WR | RR113 - Pontifex | Didn't find it | StratOman | Printed out the playing cards for this puzzle ages ago and finally got round to solving it. Got the North co-ordinates without too much trouble but couldn't do the East. Stayed on the "Must finish" pile for months until one day I looked at the cache page and realised Ray had uploaded a different cards for the East co-ordinates. Armed with the new information the puzzle was soon solved.
However we were greeted at GZ by the field puzzle, which we had no time to solve as we only have limited time on each visit, so will collect cache on our next visit. DNF |
... | RR113 | GLDBYWAP | RR113 - Pontifex | Write note | deebooted & ATM | StratOman was annoyed today that this was a two part puzzle that couldn't be done easily at GZ. We will add it to our next visit. There is no log style for finding half of it! |
... | RR119X | GLDBRQ0M | Rally Round 119 aka Kasan Kurosu | Found it | mel-ray | Find this ok as the path was not too muddy. T4T£ |
... | RR135 | GLDBTKCK | RR135 - Futoshiki | Didn't find it | mel-ray | Had some trouble here. Not sure if it still around, looks like someone clearing up. |
... | RR136 | GLDBRM7Z | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | mel-ray | Another nice little find. Not so muddy here. T4T£ |
... | RR138 | GLDBVYYV | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | StratOman | Delighted when Ray put out two new caches as we were struggling to get enough puzzled solved for this trip. Realised what was needed fairly quickly so passed the puzzle over to Deebooted & ATM to grind out the numbers. Nice easy find at GZ TFTC |
... | RR138 | GLDBYRYX | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Missed out on FTF with StratOman No idea at first, then StratOman came up with the idea and left me to crick my neck jotting it all down! Your devilment Mr Crow had me going with the twist though! Naughty. No problem at GZ TFTC and the sore neck. This entry was edited by deebooted & ATM on Tuesday, 18 February 2014 at 13:17:25 UTC. |
... | RR139 | GLDBWF3H | RR139 - Carrion Caching | Found it | StratOman | Hmm , that's a big number. Where is it I ask myself. Soon had a method for getting "Mr Crow", and the numbers followed.
Great puzzle , thoroughly enjoyed getting a solution and being the first to log it into the checker. Another favourite TFTC

18 Feb 2014 | RR116X | GLDC0F4K | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Write note | Mr Crow | Maintenance walk. 7.4 miles, 23 caches visited, very muddy and showery. Still flooded from the north. DNM. Didn't fancy getting feet soaked and then having to walk 4 miles home. |
... | RR128X | GLDC10T1 | RR128 - Five Diamonds 5 | Write note | gillywig | Having found it but not solved it, a very very generous fellow (cacher) provided the necessary nudge. Easy when you know how! Most elegant. |
... | RR138 | GLDBRGRM | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | gillywig | solved and found Sorted the Eastings first then conjectured with the aid of GE. Still not sure so embarked on Northings. Soon gave up and guessed. A nice surprise when the checker said yes. No trouble with the find. Log signed TFTC. Might try for the 'in one' 404 found find sometime.

19 Feb 2014 | Q1 | GLDC4ZX3 | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | The Avenue Two | Parked close to the village hall as workmen were repainting the yellow lines. We followed the instructions, did not understand the chess move, but soon collected the necessary numbers and after a short muddy stroll the cache was soon in Pete's hand. Thank you for another different sort of puzzle. |

... | Q2 | GLDC51A8 | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | The Avenue Two | We had to check up on a couple of countries, then had a good looking plot and checker said success. Two dogs were running up and down inside the nearby fence as we approached GZ this morning. Thank you for puzzle, interesting cache and location. |
... | Q3 | GLDC51VD | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | The Avenue Two | A nice morning for a stroll around Ramsden Heath. Spot on coords led to a nice quick find. Thanks for another puzzle and cache. |

... | Q5 | GLDC5441 | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | The Avenue Two | I was given a lesson in solving this from Pete. We had an enjoyable walk around Ramsden Heath this morning, along some new paths to us. Thanks for the puzzle, and the cache, which was soon located. |
... | RR079 | GLDATJ5B | RR079 - Indi | Found it | The Avenue Two | We dropped Andrew off to go birding with Stephen, then collected Foxscout to visit Mr Crow country on what proved a very successful trip. A short stroll to GZ, and after a few minutes l spotted something and pointed it out to Foxscout, who was already in the water. Cache was safe and dry in its resting place. Log sheet signed, but we have still to solve this puzzle. Changing this to a "Found It", as after some extremely patient tuition from an expert, in the finer arts of computer science (how things have changed since the Sinclair Spectrum), we were finally able to produce some numbers today which the geochecker said were "purrfect". Thank you for a puzzle which proves you can teach an old dog new tricks ! This entry was edited by The Avenue Two on Saturday, 22 February 2014 at 21:40:51 UTC. |
20 Feb 2014 | RR140X | GLDCCVKK | RR140 - Posthall Collection | Found it | foxscout | {FTF} 9:43pm I woke to a lovely rainy morning, perfect for puzzle solving I had a few ideas about this and began some research. I soon had a lovely collection/mess of lines all over the map. I looked at them...and wasn't sure I was any closer to the answer It's funny how the mind works. Whilst looking at the puzzle it dawned on me that something looked very similiar to something else... I spent some time playing with this idea and discovered an intriguing thing. Like one of those words that reads the same backwards and forwards... This led to a bit more research but no answer... Whilst pondering all this I stumbled across something else and I soon had a vaguely plausable plot...if only that house had been built slightly to the west Ever since Saturday and Kitty's wonderful sausage wraps I have been craving the same sandwiches. A break from puzzle solving to try and recreate her sandwich making skills and the penny dropped! And finally a very nice looking plot! I looked at my bike and it's very slack chain...would it make the journey? I looked at the clouds...black and angry! The heavy raindrops against the window answered my questions Tonight the sky cleared and once at GZ I spotted this nicely hidden cache after a little search. This has got to be a favourite! Thank you so much for a very nicely crafted puzzle and for placing this cache! |

This required a different set of skills - keen eyesight and a steady hand - plus another test of our tutor's patience, in order to generate some numbers which not only looked good, but also made Bonzo purr contentedly. This cache, being our 6000th, is a fitting tribute to both the CO, and to our ever patient tutor. Thank you, and a favourite point. |
... | RR138 | GLDCVMR4 | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | The Avenue Two | We had looked at this casually several times since it came out, but today we made a determined effort to solve it.

25 Feb 2014 | RR129X | GLDE1Y36 | RR129 - Nil And Zero - Do It | Found it | gillywig | This is a very satifying puzzle to solve once you know what to do. Once I(Gr) had resolved the anagram I knew. That however was the problem. A-Z something was the fixation and round and round in ever increasing circles, spiralled nowhere.
It was a combination of factors that resulted in it's undoing. The internet google predictive search facility provided the final step. (via a superstar)
The third of today's RR haul and a touch of déjà vu. SL TFTpuzzle&C.
(ps 3 RR's in quick succession now for the 4th) |
... | RR140X | GLDDWBAH | RR140 - Posthall Collection | Found it | gillywig | This is a great puzzle (as are all RR's) Once I(Gr) had the correct idea there was just one issue to be resolved. Much experimenting with possible solution sets without progress. Then the internet never ceases to amaze as not for the first time lately, google predictive search facility provide the necessary link. The second of today's RR haul. SL TFTC has to be a favourite. |
... | RR142 | GLDDWA4N | RR142 - Cluckable | Found it | gillywig | This was such an caching experience. It had almost everything. The unusual solving, the not knowing where to park, the thinking I(Gr) knew where to go, the weather, the time pressure, the passing of previous finds, the memories of previous finds, the mud, the country smells, the insufficient sketch, the forgetting if there was a clue, the uncertainty of where the footpath is, the inability to pace in a straight line, the iffy co-ords, the difficult (though good) hide, the nice container, the almost dnf, the call to the CO, the ftf, the pen that (at first) wouldn't write, the dropping of the contents, the poacher muggle, the imaginary muggle, the longest log sentence, a favourite and all the other aspects that you want to write in a log but cannot as it would give away too much. Brilliant for so many reasons, listed and not listed above. TFTC |
... | RR143 | GLDDNXG4 | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | CurioCT | FTF Joint with Kris&co After spending a couple of hours on this shortly after publication last night, after one false start which involved serious work only to reach what I already had d'oh, I was certain I had the solution it was far to close to to be wrong with the complexity of the maths. So working this through on the phone with Kris&co and a couple of failed verifications I finally plucked up the courage to mail the CO. A quick correction from the CO and the verification was ours A short discussion around immediate collection with Kris&co seriously conflicted after missing out previously in this fashion. In the end though sense prevailed and we settled on after the school run today. At the GZ the cache was easily located and we dropped off TB jack sparrow which my son had retrieved from a cache during the previous week's half term. So I have finally collected my first Mr. Crow (I have others solved) Thanks for the cache and the support Mr Crow |
... | RR143 | GLDDNY63 | RR143 - Super Cachers | Write note | gillywig | Congratulations CurioCT So I have finally collected my first Mr. Crow and a FTF to boot! Do you know what you've started? Welcome to this Mad Mad Mad world. |
... | RR143 | GLDDWW0K | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | Kris&Co | FTF With CurioCT. My First Mr. Crow FTF. Having missed out on one over Christmas, I wanted to get one and have been looking at all the latest Rally Rounds. (scratching my head on all of them) When they came out last night I thought now is my chance . So I sat with all of them open looking and contemplating; a call from CurioCT made the decision as to which one we were going to focus on after a few theories we settled on an idea, one of which looked somewhat plausible on the map. Not being entirely sure I didn't want to put them in the checker, he did and it kept spitting out incorrect. So he eventually mailed the CO with what we had and got a response back as to where the problem was, everything sorted, I plotted it on the map and was much happier, as was the checker . Then it was the debate as to whether to go for it at 11:30pm or leave it to the morning, eventually common sense (what little I have left ) prevailed. And the Decision to go in the morning after the school run was taken. Lovely drive from the school in the Sun , hopefully it'll last a few days at least. At GZ it was a there was a nice blank log awaiting us which was promptly signed and a TB Dropped. Thank you for a fun puzzle that had us one the phone for a good few hours Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | RR144 | GLDE221N | RR144 - Oinkment | Found it | gillywig | FTF Sometimes when searching for a Rally Round Bob Dylan's "How many roads must a man walk down..." comes to mind. Today it was more of Highway Revisited. Most people probably know of Highway 61 Revisited but he also released a song entitled Highway 51. The lyrics are as follows: Highway N51 runs right by Mr Crow's door Highway N51 runs right by Mr Crow's door If I don't get the cache I'm seeking Won't go down to Highway 51 no more. Well, I know that highway like I know my hand Yes, I know that highway like I know the back of my hand Running from up Tiptree way down to Maldon's land. Well, there's a hole in time a cache should come And if I should die before that time should come Won't you bury my body out on the Highways of N51. Highways in N51 run right by Mr Crow's door Highways in N51 run right by Mr Crow's door At last he's placed the cache I'm seeking And I don't have to go down to Highway 51 no more Should have conjectured but solved without too much difficulty, before a huge smile when looking on Google Earth. Great contents, added to and cache replaced. Recommended for loads of reasons. SL TFTC. |
26 Feb 2014 | PP | GLDDZR1J | Pegman Perambulation | Write note | Mr Crow | For solvers of/visitors to the previous incarnation of this cache - the solution and the final are still in the same place. |
... | RR081X | GLDE4BTM | RR081 - Blank Look | Found it | Kris&Co | Out With CurioCT for a spot of night caching , perfect night for itwith clear skies and all the stars out, looking mainly for drivebys as it was late and we didn't fancy getting too cold. have had this one sitting in the solved pile for a while but couldn't help picking it up as we were aimlessly driving around and happened upon it. It took a bit of searching, and tracking down, even going and having a think before finding it's hidey spot. Another nice puzzle that I enjoyed solving. Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | RR116X | GLDDZQ5M | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Write note | Mr Crow | First solver about to be registered after a missing digit needed an image correction. New image now in place. Sorry. |
... | RR116X | GLDE0NG5 | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Found it | Kris&Co | FTF With CurioCT. Well Well, What can I say, there must be a roll happening somewhere . It's funny how something out of the blue can give one a brainwave for something else. Have been looking at this off and on for quite some time, not making any headway, it was put to the back of the pile. CurioCT arrived at mine with a load of solved MM's, we had been discussing those. After the school runs, we had a look at a few more puzzles around the country. I had mentioned this one again and let CurioCT have a look, but we still hadn't a clue. In between preparing dinner and shifting papers around I spotted some papers with other workings and that's when an idea hit me . At first I thought no it can't be, but I had to try. Sure enough there was one number then another, could it be?! Was it cracked?? after a bit more working we had some likely numbers but one was missing and the checker wasn't happy with our try's. I was pretty sure we had the right idea and a good set of numbers and decided to message Mr Crow with what we had. CurioCT was happy and wanted to rush out there and then, I wasn't convinced and said it was wise to wait as I didn't fancy going out for a DNF. There were also kids that needed feeding and sorting, etc. CurioCT kept trying various numbers in the checker while waiting. We had a response back, and had everything sorted . I had promised to take my neighbour to work and had to wait for her, before we could go. Having read the maintenance logs, the wellies were put in the car ready for the journey, after dropping her off we were finally on our way. It was such a lovely night clear skies and lots of stars, perfect for a bit of caching, we donned our hats and grabbed our torches and set off. After a stroll we began the search, after a while we realised we were looking in the wrong place and backtracked to GZ. spotted a likely hide and there was nothing , but as this was unreachable for awhile I decided to look further and upon closer inspection there it was a bit more covered over, but safe, clean and dry. We approached on the path from the north, where there are still a few thick swampy muddy spots, but for the most part it has dried up. This is a great puzzle, infuriating for awhile, however thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for the Cache Mr CrowThis entry was edited by Kris&Co on Thursday, 27 February 2014 at 18:10:29 UTC. |
... | RR116X | GLDE1TEP | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Found it | CurioCT | FTF Joint with Kris&co I arrived at KriS&co's for some puzzle solving in the afternoon having solved nearly half of the MM series in the previous 24 hours, I was feeling on form. Having looked at this one previously I had had little clue on how to solve it especially since I was told one element was believed to be a red herring. About 10 minutes in the session, whilst looking at another puzzle, Kris had a 'eureka' moment. So we sat there working through the details. A couple of false starts later it was clear we were definitely on to something. I was certain she was right (and she was) but we were losing the light and we couldn't get a verify from the checker. I have to confess when we realised the issue I tried a number of conjectured elements, however no dice. With the light situation and the recent maintenance logs, given my confidence in Kris's solution, I wanted to go look but Kris took the sensible approach and mailed Mr Crow. In short shrift we had our response and our solution. Then an agonizing wait while domestic issues meant we could not go for the cache immediately. Patience is not my strong suit. As it turns out the wait was sensible as we would in all likelihood have had a DNF if we had traveled immediately. The journey over was fun every car in front of us was another cacher beating us the punch we stopped for a couple of very close drive bys on the way but finally parked up near the GZ fearing the worst and having felt the cold a little on route I put on many layers and we headed out. 10 minutes walking later and I realised we'd over shot the GZ moving back towards it I spotted a very likely looking spot and a minute later Kris fished out the cache complete with blank log Thanks for the assistance and the cache Mr CrowGuess you were right Gillywig |
... | RR138 | GLDDZ9EZ | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | HollynCharlie | This one has been bothering Jen for sometime especially being so very close to home. Knew some of the idea on this one but just couldnt link it, thats where her knight in shining armour came in too help and after some toing and frowing he advised that he had some co-ords - Yippeeee!!! So armed with the information, we set off together for the find. (well Simon and GT did) Jen stayed at home to give Evie her tea. As GZ approached the cache was soon spotted and retrieved. TFTC Lovely evening for a nice stroll from home. |
... | RR138 | GLDEAE8K | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | geotrowel | Knight in shining armour? The amount of armour it'd take to cover me would mean I'd sink into the mud before I'd got six feet along the footpath!
Had a quick look at this one the evening Jen told me about it, but I wasn't really awake, so left it. Lunchtime the next day, I looked again and immediately knew what was going on. I thought I knew how to extract the information quickly, but several attempts, using several different methods, failed to produce the result I wanted.
Soooo, the long way round it was! Before too long (well, fairly long!), I had the numbers I needed and got in touch with HnC and we decided not to waste any time and I went over straight after work. A very pleasant evening stroll with Simon over to gz was brought to a splendid conclusion with the discovery of the cache.
Still working on a quick solution (I have another idea, which I'll be investigating in due course), but a very enjoyable puzzle, even though I took the long way round.
Cheers for the cache! |
27 Feb 2014 | PP | GLDE2C0H | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | HollynCharlie | Evie is at nursery and I had just finished some accounts so Jen had a quick look at this new cache, Had all the answers and information from the previous question mark cache so decided to give Holly and charlie a little walk. Pleased with a nice quick find and a nice one to walk too. TFTC |

28 Feb 2014 | PP | GLDEM3JK | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | greysman | Needed to go round Tiptree again as I couldn't find my previous answers . When GZ came up as the same as before I decided to see if the final resting place had changed - it hadn't - so an extra tick for something already found, but canine friend Murph had a walk out. Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. TFTC |
... | RR138 | GLDEATVM | RR138 - 404 Found | Write note | Mr Crow | Interesting ... looking at the audit log, two of the solvers/loggers have recorded exactly 311 visits to the cache page! (That's not a clue) It can be done in two visits: 1) read the cache page -> eureka moment! 2) read the cache page. |
... | RR142 | GLDEAZ3J | RR142 - Cluckable | Write note | Mr Crow | Intel from a pacing gillywig suggests that the hide "may" be 43 feet away from the solution coordinates on a bearing of 286 degrees. The tree cover does seem to make a GPSr waver but doesn't affect Grahame's stride length? Feedback from other visitors would be very welcome |

... | E405 | GLDET2H4 | Essex 100 - 4/05 - Blocks | Found it | orangepeel99 | Retraced our steps to find this one. Quick find. TFTC |
... | E406 | GLDERXGF | Essex 100 - 4/06 - RSPB | Found it | orangepeel99 | Just Mum and Dad Orangepeel today. Down in Essex for the weekend to visit friends. Combined birding with caching! Very wet and muddy but still do-able. Dad found it as Mum did not read clue and got muddy gloves! TFTC. |
... | E407 | GLDERYHX | Essex 100 - 4/07 - Conservation | Found it | orangepeel99 | Bit squelchy underfoot. Found with no problem. TFTC |
... | E408 | GLDERZCG | Essex 100 - 4/08 - Stilish | Found it | orangepeel99 | Bit breezy walking along the sea wall looking at birds. Found this straight away. TFTC |
... | E409 | GLDERZYE | Essex 100 - 4/09 - Fenced | Found it | orangepeel99 | Yet another quick find. Great photo opportunities. TFTC |
... | E411 | GLDET1AR | Essex 100 - 4/11 - McClure | Found it | orangepeel99 | Another quick find. Only walked up to here as not much time. We would love to come back and finish the series off. Maybe in the summer when a lot less mud and muck! TFTC |
... | E535 | GLDEHQY7 | Essex 100 - 5/35 - South | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Number 2 without 'hint'. Had to wait for dog walkers to pass on by. Then searched and went past it - on return spotted. Onto the next. TFTC SL. |
... | E536 | GLDEHQ0P | Essex 100 - 5/36 - Newbridge | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Having struggled to get to the GC along Pages Lanes decided to head back as time running on. Discovered that I had passed 3 GC en-route for which I did not have the 'hints'. Decided to have a go - SUCCESS difficult to reach due to water filled ditch. TFTC SL |
... | E537 | GLDEHMB7 | Essex 100 - 5/37 - Giant | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Tricky start today as access to the planned GC restricted by farmer not allowing access along Pages Lane. Having made detour was able to quickly pick up this GC without too much problem. TFTC SL |
... | E538 | GLDEHMZ7 | Essex 100 - 5/38 - Crumble | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Very wet underfoot. Quick transfer from the 'Giant' to this find. Well hidden and took a while but go their in the end. TFTC SL |
... | TMT01 | GLDEM4HH | Tolleshunt Major Tour 1 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 5/10. Parked at The Bell and made our way along to the start of the series. Had a good idea what to expect when we read the hint and mercifully, the cache was exactly where we looked first. Would not have wanted to be hunting around this location too long. Signed, replaced and headed off into the open fields. TFTC #774 |
... | TMT02 | GLDEM5G2 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 2 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 6/10. Terrain much more like a 3 on the way to this one today, and once at GZ, we were flummoxed for a while. Read previous logs and had the idea it was somewhere sneaky so tried a different angle and finally spotted it. Pleased to have PB Jnr with me as he was much better equipped to make the grab and replace after signing - a great team effort. Fav point from us. TFTC #775 |
... | TMT03 | GLDEM62P | Tolleshunt Major Tour 3 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 7/10. A short and pleasant walk down from #2 to this one. Ground much drier on these paths so the going was getting ever easier. Soon spotted the location and PB Jnr went for a speedy find. TFTC #776 |
... | TMT04 | GLDEM7G5 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 4 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 8/10. Considered turning back after #3, but decided to push on to #4. Passed a lady muggle with an excitable puppy over which she had absolutely no control but which was happily frolicking all over the fields and paid us no attention. Another quick find for PB Jnr at GZ, and have added a photo of him enjoying his walk on the way. Would have been a long stretch from here to #5 so made this one our last of the day in this section of the loop, as the sun was getting lower. Will be back another time, but enjoyed a pleasant stroll back to the car for now. TFTC #777 |
... | TMT07 | GLDEM90H | Tolleshunt Major Tour 7 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 9/10. Realised that we would be driving past this one on the way home, and it was still light enough to search, so pulled up right near GZ and, with a quick check of the compass, worked out where to look, or rather where to feel. Nearly lost my footing but just managed to find, sign and replace without any major issues. TFTC #778 |
... | TMT10 | GLDEKHVN | Tolleshunt Major Tour 10 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 4/10. Having covered heavy ground to pick up #12 and #11, thought we could nab this as a driveby. Convenient parking spot not too far away, but the ditch was anything but dry so needed careful negotiation to permit a search at GZ. For once, PB Jnr's usually sharp instincts did not lead him to the right spot and it was down to Dad to find the cache, duly signed and replaced. He was not too disconsolate, however, as the massive puddles created a welcome distraction, giving his wellies what he called a "nature wash"! Time for a cake break before moving on. TFTC #773 |
... | TMT11 | GLDEKFZ2 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 11 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 3/10. Although not far from #12, the route did not look promising with big puddles stretching the breadth of the footpath. Suitably booted, we pressed on and had great fun slipping and slooping in the sticky mud. Once at GZ, the cache was soon located and signed, before we tackled the trip back to the car with equal gusto. Favourite point from us, as it may just be one of the loop at another time of year, but thanks to the terrain today, this is one we will certainly never forget. TFTC #772 |
... | TMT12 | GLDEKEKA | Tolleshunt Major Tour 12 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out for the afternoon around Tolleshunt Major with PB Jnr to get my March tally off to a flyer. Sunny skies, not too cold and some fun finds, especially with the little fella enjoying the squelchy conditions in his wellies. 2/10. Realising that the whole walk might be a bit too much for little legs in the heavy conditions, decided to pick up the ones at the end of the loop first, then get a few at the start and come back for the ones in between another day. Managed to park not far from this one and although the early spring conditions had caused some plant growth around GZ, and the cache was well covered with debris, we forged our way in and made a quick find thanks to the hint. Always nice to sign a fresh, dry log. TFTC #771 |
02 Mar 2014 | CNB | GLDEXCR4 | Crow's Nest (Bonus) | Found it | kareninwb | Visited the Crows's Nest sometime ago but didn't know then that I had to pick up the bonus or how to use the chirp feature on the GPS! Chatting to fellow cachers at the Worship the Bean event and realised that this was a Crow Puzzle cache that I might be able to find. Still had to work out how to use the required feature but having done that the cache was soon found. |
... | E122 | GLDFA9DN | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Found it | CrazyHedgehogs | First cache of a nice walk around Goldhanger coast and marshes, this road was unbelievably busy and so many dog walkers!!

... | E546 | GLDFAEJ2 | Essex 100 - 5/46 - Sheep | Found it | CrazyHedgehogs | Title says it all really! There was quite a few around today, cache was exposed so moved it round the side and covered it, TFTC! |
... | E547 | GLDFACC2 | Essex 100 - 5/47 - Lauriston | Didn't find it | CrazyHedgehogs | Have to agree with last log, cache seems to be AWOL again.... |
... | E548 | GLDFABRM | Essex 100 - 5/48 - Joyce's | Found it | CrazyHedgehogs | All good here, nice walk so far too, TFTC! |
... | E549 | GLDFABJ7 | Essex 100 - 5/49 - Divert | Found it | CrazyHedgehogs | No confusion here, straight in for the kill! TFTC! |
... | E550 | GLDFAB41 | Essex 100 - 5/50 - Conclusion | Found it | CrazyHedgehogs | Some confusion here due to position of footpath sign (in the ditch) but some searching revealed the goods, muggles starting to thin out now thankfully, go walking and caching to get away from the wretched things........ TFTC! |
... | RR075 | GLDFA92H | RR075 - Bonzo | Found it | foxscout | I roped Tilly in to help with solving this. But after tip toeing across the keyboard a few times and giving Bonzo a few suspicious looks she wandered off to curl on in the warmest place in the house...on top of the modem! My initial plan of attack didn't work for this. I had a interesting set of numbers...but they weren't right. I sat back I could see where my problems were, but I couldn't think of a way to correct that. So I started a 4 pronged attack! This was full of errors and for a few weeks I tinkered with this and changed that. More nice looking numbers appeared but not the right ones... I knew one more way to try but I made a silly error which how ever hard I looked I could not spot. Errors scrolled by as I waited for a long list of error reports...a spark of an idea formed in my mind... A few minutes later and I knew I finally had it right... I love this puzzle! I have looked at that little cat so many times. I knew what had to be done right from the beginning and the learning process has been great fun!. The walk to GZ was lovely and once there we soon spotted Bonzo's sleeping place. Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow and thank you for another fascinating puzzle.Leaving a favourite point here for the puzzle and location! |
... | RR095 | GLDFAA2Z | RR095 - Ingot Ordeal | Found it | foxscout | Ordeal is definitely the word I would use I often make a pig's ear out of finding what other people think is a really easy find and after smashing away at this with a sledgehammer for quite some time it suddenly dawned on me what I needed to do. After an hour or two of tinkering with this and that... The answer came in an elegant and surprising way. Of the four Rally Rounds I was visiting today, three of them had a favourite point before I left home...this one I wasn't sure about...It's a fantastic puzzle...but I still remember the pain At GZ that all changed...I love these containers! So for the superb puzzle...the pain is fading ...and for the hide/container i'm leaving a favourite point here! Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR115 | GLDFA9CV | RR115 - Mordor | Found it | foxscout | Do you know the best thing about finally getting to go and look for this? I got to plan my route to Mordor!!! I had initially planned to come by bike. Was it possible to cycle to Mordor? Google Earth certainly thought it was and gave me a lovely route As I packed my bag, I wondered what I might need for my journey... I had no elven cloak or lembas bread... I was rediculously excited...I wished someone would ask me where I was off to? Imagine me giddy with excitement...'I'm off to Mordor', I would answer GZ had me worried, I searched here and there and nothing...I couldn't come this far and fail...then suddenly I spotted something and a few moments investigation revealed the cache! This is a favourite for so many reasons! Thank you so much for setting this puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR139 | GLDFA9QH | RR139 - Carrion Caching | Found it | foxscout | During a busy lunch break I began to construct a list of constraining factors. I soon realised the enormity of the task ahead. I looked at my paper and at the clock...this would have to wait till after school! Once home, I grabbed a few things out of my Rally Round puzzle solving 'box'...and began the task. I really enjoyed solving this puzzle and as I approached the answer it was lovely to see it fitted within my initial constraints. I ventured to GZ alone and soon spotted this nice little hide. Definite favourite for this! Thank you for a great puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |

04 Mar 2014 | RR051X | GLDFGV1H | RR051 - RGB | Found it | geralduscambrensis | Solved a while ago but never had cause to be in the area. On my way home looking for CMs and as this was en route it seemed a shame not to check it out. Thought at first I was going to be defeated by the Sleeping Beauty garden but after a number of practice tries I managed to lay a hand on it. It is minus its top. Thanks for the puzzle and the two workshops which helped me solve it. Signed log and gingerly replaced. TBs for mileage #1256 Sometimes sign as gcb |

... | Q1 | GLDGB6KC | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | theboybuzzer | Cache 518. 7th of 7 caches today, found at 5pm while out walking with Magic Girl on a lovely Spring afternoon. After one or two wrong turns (and a few 'Doh!' moments), we tracked down the cache. It was on the ground, not hidden, but nothing appeared to be missing. Although we hadn't worked out the anagram, we put the cache back in the 'obvious' hiding place (which turned out to be correct, once we had solved the anagram, with hindsight). We really enjoyed this puzzle cache, which topped off a great afternoon's geocaching. |

... | RR018 | GLDG7RH9 | RR018 - Sheepcoates | Found it | RachelnRedd | This was one of the puzzles I had solved at the FIRST ? about ? event which was quite some ago! But I kept all the info and sorted out three that were close to my parents' house, as I was due to visit first thing this morning. So a nice early morning stroll to this cache, and would you believe it, given it's the middle of nowhere and the early hour, as I arrived at GZ but luckily before I started grovelling about, I could hear voices - and spotted two runners approaching. Switching to casual walk-in-the-country-as-you-do mode, I had to walk on then double back. Anyway, once the runners were out of sight, the cache was a quick find in the promised location. All well here, signed RnR and returned. TFTC! |
... | RR053X | GLDG7ZT4 | RR053 - Totham Plains | Found it | RachelnRedd | The last of my 3 finds today, on an early morning drive round the neighbourhood before visiting my parents nearby. I had solved this one at the first ? about ? event last year, but had kept all my numbers safe for just such an opportunity. Loved the village and location, very interesting old notice about the byelaws. Used a stick to bash down the baby nettles and poked about until the cache revealed itself, well hidden. All contents nice and dry, TNLN, SL. Thanks for another Rally Round! |
... | RR061 | GLDG7XEV | RR061 - Crow-nundrum | Found it | RachelnRedd | On a drive around the neighbourhood this morning. Had this one in my solved book as had been given an extra extra hint of how to do it, and once I knew how, all the numbers seemed to slot into place quickly. The cache was a quick find in the second of the hint items I looked at, although it was very very wet inside complete with very wet parrot. I removed parrot, dried out the pot with tissue and replaced with a rather nice compass on a clip. Log was quite wet too - my pen made a couple of holes as I signed it - but nice to see original log sheet. Lovely location too - I won't give too much away, but this was a lovely little path. TFTC - eight Rally Rounds down - many many more to go! |

... | E542 | GLDK929A | Essex 100 - 5/42 - Wycke | Found it | Kitty!! | # 5055 I joined the Crow on a maintenance tour of the Essex 100-2 series. 14 miles in glorious spring sunshine. Dry paths, blossom on the Hawthorn hedges and a mass of Snowdrops assured us that spring had well and truly sprung. I heard a woodpecker (or two) and saw a hare - so big big smiles today. What could be better? Ah, yes, an open cafe and a flush Crow treating me to filter coffee and a cheese bap. 15:24 30/38 I started looking the wrong side of the hedge. Quick find when on the right side. TFTC |
... | E543 | GLDK92E0 | Essex 100 - 5/43 - Eyelet | Found it | Kitty!! | # 5056 I joined the Crow on a maintenance tour of the Essex 100-2 series. 14 miles in glorious spring sunshine.

What could be better? Ah, yes, an open cafe and a flush Crow treating me to filter coffee and a cheese bap. 16:01 35/38 Signed the replacement cache before we arrived at GZ so it was ready for the Crow to insert in its hidey hole . Helpful hint so that this can be found swiftly and avoid suspicion. TFTC |
... | E548 | GLDK92EM | Essex 100 - 5/48 - Joyce's | Found it | Kitty!! | # 5061 I joined the Crow on a maintenance tour of the Essex 100-2 series. 14 miles in glorious spring sunshine.

Just a short walk now back to the car. Sadly no time to stop off at The Chequers. Favourite for the series here. TFTC/Series. |
12 Mar 2014 | E108 | GLDHQAR2 | Essex 100 - 1/08 - Parking | Found it | chequerdog | Think Mr C'dog needs to go to Specsavers, don't know how it was missed last time, quick find, TFTC |
... | E117 | GLDHQBN8 | Essex 100 - 1/17 - Grass | Found it | chequerdog | Like HollynCharlie this was our first visit since the original meet, quick find this time. Had a laugh recalling the original mass DNF and the photo. TFTC. Completed the circuit at last. |
13 Mar 2014 | CM2243 | GLDHYC01 | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Found it | Nickiandjack | Parked here for a walk in the sunshine. Couldn't find at the start of our walk but easy spot at the end once we had our focus! |
14 Mar 2014 | E533 | GLDJ75N4 | Essex 100 - 5/33 - Alfalfa | Found it | chequerdog | Quick drive by find today, TFTC |
... | RR005 | GLDK8XYA | RR005 - Totham Triangle 1 | Found it | kareninwb | Solved the puzzle a while back and went off to collect it today. The path wasn't too muddy but arrived at GZ to find that some off the trees in the vicinty of GZ had been lopped. Hoped it hadn't affected the cache and fortunately it hadn't. TFTC and the puzzle! |
... | RR006X | GLDK87NX | RR006 - Totham Triangle 2 | Found it | kareninwb | Solved this one a long time ago but after attending the ?s and ?s event I now have a new resolution for this year which is to solve and find more puzzle caches. So today I went to collect Rally Round 5, 6 and 7. This was the hardest of the three puzzles and the most difficult to retrieve due to flooding in the immediate vicinity of the cache. Squelched my way back to the car and then off to find number 5. Thanks for placing. |
... | RR007 | GLDK8YRQ | RR007 - Totham Triangle 3 | Found it | kareninwb | Final Crow puzzle of the day. Approached via the footpath but the gate had been tied shut so had to climb over the fence. Wondered if I was in the right place so kept a low profile and headed for GZ. Some tree coverage at the final coordinates so not too obvious what I was up to. This was the least muddy of the three Crow puzzle caches found today.

... | RR078 | GLDK6R5D | RR078 - Genius and Luck | Found it | HollynCharlie | Another one that we have nicely ticked off the list and Evie went with Daddy to retrieve this one. Super duper as she said here, obviously taking note of her mothers lingo :) TFTC |
... | RR098 | GLDK6NW7 | RR098 - Essex Cachers | Found it | HollynCharlie | Collecting a few solved rally rounds this evening as it was so lovely, Evie was fast asleep so was pleased with a nice swift find here TFTC |
... | RR116X | GLDK943R | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Write note | Doggywalker | 3rd picture lucky. |
... | RR140X | GLDK6RHT | RR140 - Posthall Collection | Found it | HollynCharlie | Last one of our little trip and Simon jumped out here and found it in the first place he looked, woohoo. Only 70 odd more to go. TFTC |
... | RR143 | GLDK6PAE | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | HollynCharlie | Collecting a few solved rally rounds this evening as it was so lovely, we have lots solved and still to grab so making a start. Pleased with a nice quick find that was all good here TFTC |
... | RR145X | GLDK6QE4 | Rally Round 145 aka GT86 | Found it | HollynCharlie | Jen had a big hunch about this one so whilst collecting a few solved rally rounds we decided to head to GZ for a search, well I never Jen isnt quite so silly as she thinks. Yeeha as Evie said (she has now woken up) and even better we have a FTF - this must be our First FTF for a very long time as we never rush out anymore. Jen says her heart is smiling TFTC |
... | RR145X | GLDK94HH | Rally Round 145 aka GT86 | Write note | Mr Crow | Still to be solved. |
18 Mar 2014 | RR115 | GLDKB8C1 | RR115 - Mordor | Found it | HollynCharlie | This took me a while to solve, i soon established the first part but the second was much harder to crack and took sometime. I Jen needed to get the dogs out for a run and this was perfect as it wasnt too far and I was running out of time today, so we headed off and parked up and jogged to GZ. (I will run a marathon one day) and then soon spotted the likely hide at GZ and was pleased to be rewarded. Then a nice jog back to the car as we were half way back it started to rain so i picked up the pace. TFTC |
19 Mar 2014 | CN | GLDKJPQG | Crow's Nest | Found it | peegeenine | Really liked this cache. There were 5 TB's waiting to be moved on so we took them and left 5 new ones, signed log TFTC. Fav point left as really liked the cache. |
... | E220 | GLDKH17A | Essex 100 - 2/20 - Lopped | Found it | Madboy247 | TFTC. |

... | E541 | GLDKH9Z3 | Essex 100 - 5/41 - Pipe | Found it | Madboy247 | TFTC. |
... | E547 | GLDKHA01 | Essex 100 - 5/47 - Lauriston | Didn't find it | Madboy247 | I think this needs moving. Seems to have gone again and I suspect mr muggle is responsible. Very frustrated. Didn't stay for a thorough check as I didn't want a repeat of last time. Checked the hinted place but obviously no joy. |
... | RR001 | GLDKKXA5 | RR001 - Wilkin's Grove | Found it | peegeenine | Our last cache of the day and the only one that was really muddy to get to but we managed without too much difficulty, signed log TFTC |
... | RR005 | GLDKKR2Q | RR005 - Totham Triangle 1 | Found it | peegeenine | Continued on our slight detour from the Tolleshunt Major series to pick up this puzzle that we had solved ages ago. When we arrived at GZ we were not confident about finding this cache as GZ had been almost flattened but the cache is still there waiting to be found, signed log TFTC |
... | RR007 | GLDKKQQ4 | RR007 - Totham Triangle 3 | Found it | peegeenine | We had worked this puzzle out ages ago and while in the area doing the Tolleshunt Major series decided to do a short detour here to pick up this and RR5 caches. At GZ soon located the cache, signed log TFTC |
... | RR009 | GLDKKTX9 | RR009 - Noughty One | Found it | peegeenine | After visiting the nearby Church Micro took the short walk to this cache, signed log TFTC |
... | RR086 | GLDKJ6NA | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | denarius | We could do with a few more trees after the winter storms we seem to have lost so many. A tricky puzzle that I don't think we would have solved it without a bit of guidance in the right direction. Delighted to finally tick this one off of the list and put a smiley in its place.
Arriving at the GZ we soon spotted a likely location and the log was finally signed. Thanks for another challenging puzzle. |
... | RR121 | GLDKGFN4 | RR121 - Sequences & Series 100 | Write note | smudge42 | I suggest this deserves a D5 rating. With the limit of one login each 24 hours, the challenge is made even harder than simply solving the puzzle element. In particular, today I lost internet connection just as I hit return on Q1 - I now cannot do anything more until tomorrow. Arghhh!! |
... | RR132 | GLDKHYF2 | RR132 - Batteries Not Required | Found it | denarius | The clue pointed us in the right direction and we soon realised what was required. Sitting down with a coffee while the rain was lashing down outside we managed to find the information we needed and we were on our way. Glad we waited until there had been a dry spell as I can imagine the terrain could have been a bit of a nightmare as obviously poor foxscout and The Avenue Two found out on their epic journey. We enjoyed the method of this puzzle and as always the conclusion when the SUCCESS message flashes up onto the screen. Then, once solved it sat until today, waiting for the right moment, the terrain today was fine although the route a little convoluted. Thanks for another Rally Round and a favourite for the pleasure in solving and the final cache. |
... | RR134X | GLDKJ12J | RR134 - Endeavour | Found it | denarius | Sometimes it takes an age to realise what is required but not with this one thankfully. We knew what was required here and it was just a matter of time before we were playing once more with the Geochecker.
Once we arrived today at the GZ nothing jumped out at us but a pleasant stroll to where the coordinates led and we soon had the pristine cache in hand.
Thanks for turning another question mark into a smile and another excellent puzzle. |
... | RR135 | GLDKJ4DN | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | denarius | An brilliant rainy day puzzle and one I enjoyed solving. There is great satisfaction when the last field is complete and you can then watch the numbers appear. I wasn't aware of the name Futoshiki so it was a pleasant surprise when I logged on to the page and glancing, realised I knew what to do which doesn't happen often enough.
Thank you for another clever puzzle. It has been a while since we have visited Crow Country as we don't have quite as much free time as we did. I'm so glad we waited a few months as the GZ is still squishy to walk on. A good hide, thanks. |
... | RR136 | GLDKHZ64 | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | denarius | Solved this puzzle back in the days of the long rains. At last, after a few dry days and a window of opportunity we decided to visit the area and turn a few more question marks into smiley faces..much more pleasing to the eye.
A nice straightforward and enjoyable cache to solve and a nice quick find at the final location. Thanks. |
... | RR137 | GLDKJA6H | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | denarius | Bit of an uphill struggle with this one to begin with but once we were on the right track we soon found what we were looking for and it was all downhill from then on. An enjoyable and interesting puzzle with a few ups and downs but we eventually had some reasonable looking coordinates. Geochecker gave us the green light . It has been waiting as have we for the right weather and a free moment and today was that time. An enjoyable puzzle and a brilliant cache. A favourite from us for the excellent and puzzle and the woodwork. Thanks |
... | TMT01 | GLDKKM2Z | Tolleshunt Major Tour 1 | Found it | peegeenine | Having parked at the suggested spot we soon arrived here but after a long search we had to leave with a DNF. We did not have access to the website so did not have any hints available to us for the series. After completing all the other caches in the series we decided to have another look here and this time still without a hint Mr peegeenine went straight to it. All we can say is if you are in the same boat as we were with no available hints for this series trust your GPS as the coordinates for all the caches are good, signed log and pleased we have now completed the whole series. TFTC. |
... | TMT02 | GLDKKMF8 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 2 | Found it | peegeenine | After a bad start we soon arrived here and quickly spotted the cache which gave us a boost and an idea of what we were looking for with this series. Signed log TFTC |
... | TMT03 | GLDKKNFK | Tolleshunt Major Tour 3 | Found it | peegeenine | Met a large group of ramblers at GZ so had to hang about pretending we were working out where to go but we were actually working out where the cache could be. Soon spotted a likely place but actually found this cache in the ditch. Placed where we think it should be and after we returned home and checked the hint we feel we have placed it in the correct spot, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT04 | GLDKKNPN | Tolleshunt Major Tour 4 | Found it | peegeenine | Soon spotted this cache getting an idea now of where to look, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT05 | GLDKKP29 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 5 | Found it | peegeenine | Soon found this cache. The container was full of water and needs some TLC. Luckily the log was only damp so able to sign, TFTC. |
... | TMT06 | GLDKKP77 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 6 | Found it | peegeenine | We went straight to the correct place here, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT07 | GLDKKPF3 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 7 | Found it | peegeenine | We took a couple of minutes to locate this cache which was being well guarded by some vicious nettles, signed log. TFTC |
... | TMT08 | GLDKKPJC | Tolleshunt Major Tour 8 | Found it | peegeenine | Very quickly located this cache, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT09 | GLDKKQ9D | Tolleshunt Major Tour 9 | Found it | peegeenine | Arriving at GZ there were lots of places a cache could be placed and not having the hint available meant we had nothing to guide us but after about 10 minutes and trusting the GPS we spotted the cache well guarded by prickles. We are really enjoying the series in lovely countryside and as we feel this is the hardest cache of the series we will leave the fav point here. Signed log TFTC |
... | TMT10 | GLDKKR8D | Tolleshunt Major Tour 10 | Found it | peegeenine | Back on the series again soon located this cache, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT11 | GLDKKRBZ | Tolleshunt Major Tour 11 | Found it | peegeenine | Another quick find here, signed log TFTC |
... | TMT12 | GLDKKRKB | Tolleshunt Major Tour 12 | Found it | peegeenine | Soon found this cache and signed log. Now heading back to No1 in the series to see if we can locate that only DNF before heading off. Thanks for the series which we have really enjoyed |
20 Mar 2014 | PC1 | GLDKTZ26 | PolyCache 1 | Found it | vanguard3 | Another historic set of caches. This traditional to start, then some multis & puzzles previously solved. Backstracked to this one as we set off over a meadow rather than down the FP away from the parking location. TFTC. #5717. |
... | PC1 | GLDKX9PM | PolyCache 1 | Found it | starguider | Parked up and set off with Vanguard 3 to find this set of caches. Set off across the meadow instead of down the footpath and had to scramble across the ditch before finding the path. Found the cache, recorded the numbers, did the sums and headed for the next one. tftc |
... | PC2 | GLDKV15N | PolyCache 2 | Found it | vanguard3 | This was our exercise walk. Expected an hour or so of walking. With the numbers from #1 we got straight here. Lovely new cache log BUT NO NUMBERS to calculate 3 & 4!!. Wrote exactly that on the log (of course I will look stupid in future as we have now added the numbers to the back of the sheet). Here comes technology - managed to find the e-mail address for CO on the phone & mailed our demise. After visiting #5 an answer. A list of 4 numbers. It was like winning the lottery. So I leave a FAV here for Mr Crow responding so fast, & the lovely cache series of course. TFTC. #5718 |
... | PC2 | GLDKXAFR | PolyCache 2 | Found it | starguider | Arrived at the spot indicated by our sum and took a while to find the cache, my fault. Bob opened the cache and signed the log but no numbers. We checked both sides of the log sheet, inside the pot, on the pot, even held the log to the light. At this moment Mr Crow was not our favourite person. Anyway as Bob said technology won the day numbers are now on teh log for the next finder. tftc |
... | PC3 | GLDKV3MX | PolyCache 3 | Found it | vanguard3 | This one was on our way back. TFTC. #5721 |
... | PC3 | GLDKXB4M | PolyCache 3 | Found it | starguider | Another quick find here. tftc |
... | PC4 | GLDKV3FC | PolyCache 4 | Found it | vanguard3 | We had just got back to PolyCache #2 when I checked my phone & a response was there from the CO. The missing numbers were E=* F=* G=* H=* ( You didn't think I'd write them down here did you?). (They are on ther log sheet now). Standing on the bridge a lot of calculating , checking, looking at maps had us heading back for this one. I said it was our exercise caches!! TFTC/ #5720 |
... | PC4 | GLDKXB1T | PolyCache 4 | Found it | starguider | Because of Mr Crow fast reply to our call for help we were able to get the co-ords for this and Poly 3. Once again found without any problems. tftc |
... | RR001 | GLDKV5V8 | RR001 - Wilkin's Grove | Found it | vanguard3 | How old is this one? I'll look in a minute (5 years!). It is a very old solution & I can only assume I had the assistance of Mrs Mary Muggle (although this type of puzzle isin my domain now). TFTC. #5725. |
... | RR001 | GLDKZNQF | RR001 - Wilkin's Grove | Found it | starguider | I solved this puzzle many years ago and I think at some point had to alter the answer in some way. As we headed to the cache Vanguard 3's co-ordinates were taking him to a different point from me. We looked at the map and decided that as my waypoint was on a footpath we would go there first. We soon spotted the camo and there was the pot. tftc |
... | RR006X | GLDKTJWW | RR006 - Totham Triangle 2 | Didn't find it | starguider | Second time looking for this and again could not find it. |
... | RR006X | GLDKTWMC | RR006 - Totham Triangle 2 | Didn't find it | vanguard3 | Having left my complete file at home the GZ checker hints were not available to us. Hasn't been a problem before nor was it after, but here a little help would have been fine. Now I've read the hint I think it may have been useful. Never mind -- there will be a lot of trips over the next 20 years to finish the RRs. |

... | RR023X | GLDKXAQA | RR023 - Sum Problem | Found it | starguider | As we had missing information for the multi's we decided to head straight for this one. A quick find here. Then off to get RR 22. tftc |
... | RR040 | GLDKTHAK | RR040 - Mummy Crow | Found it | starguider | Enjoyed solving this series of puzzles, something I could do with a bit of research and a bit of number crunching. Found the cache without any trouble, it helps having a hint that is not a puzzle in itself. tftc |
... | RR040 | GLDKTVDM | RR040 - Mummy Crow | Found it | vanguard3 | I was tasked with solving these last evening. Got all the conversion info together. Set off at a rush & got a geochecker fail on one of the caches I wasn't meant to be solving!!. For a completely different task I was struggling with using Open Office instead of MS Excel & taking ages to sort out a file for the Ramblers, so time caught me up. Checked my efforts with SG today & she pointed out my errors. TFTC. #5716 |
... | RR042 | GLDKV66Y | RR042 - Grandpa Crow | Found it | vanguard3 | Must work on that anagram again, but no problem without. Easy to say when it's the last cache of the day. Most enjoyable day. TFTC. #5726. |
... | RR042 | GLDKZPEE | RR042 - Grandpa Crow | Found it | starguider | On to the last of the day. Soon spotted the cache. Thank you for bringing me into "Crow Country" again another enjoyable day. |
... | RR043 | GLDKV4CH | RR043 - Grandma Crow | Found it | vanguard3 | Drove over very close to Mr C's nest for a series of 4 caches over & around fields. A little searching here, but found without solving the anagram (will look at that again).. TFTC. #5723 |
... | RR043 | GLDKZKPC | RR043 - Grandma Crow | Found it | starguider | One to our last set of caches, found somewhere to park and headed off for this one. Took a little while to find. Watch out someone uses this area to practice their golf!. tftc |
... | RR086 | GLDKND30 | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | HollynCharlie | As it was such a beautiful morning I decided to come and grab this one. A quick find at gz and enjoyable round walk after. Tftc |
... | RR246 | GLDKTAFA | RR246 - The Nearest FarAway Place | Found it | vanguard3 | This is hintless caching. Forgot to solve anagrams before setting out (Forgot most things really!) No problem here though. TFTC. #5714 |
... | RR246 | GLDKTDKK | RR246 - The Nearest FarAway Place | Found it | starguider | The second of the day and on the way to this one we were joined by a field vole, very cute. The ditch near Gz has recently been cleared and we wondered if the cache would still be in place but once again it was tucked safely away. tftc |
... | RR247 | GLDKT8WN | RR247 - Panglossian | Found it | vanguard3 | Just two of us left for a geocaching jaunt this week. myself & starguider. Why not some RR's? Well more like a wider choice of MrC's caches. Some puzzles solved long ago. This series would be a trek, but we knew it & looked forward to the much dryer walking. Lovey to mop these up. TFTC. #5713 |
... | RR247 | GLDKTC70 | RR247 - Panglossian | Found it | starguider | Out with Vanguard 3 to find a few more Mr Crow puzzles. This was the first of the day. After finding the information from the sign and doing the maths, checked by Bob. We set off across the fields it was a bit blustery but the sun was shinning. Soon found the cache, the rabbits have been busy around GZ but the cache was safe and sound. Also found the remains of a skull. tftc |
... | RR249 | GLDKTEQ9 | RR249 - Thalamorph | Found it | starguider | The third cache and a straight forward find if a bit of a stretch. It is good to finally have completed this series of caches, I solved them in 2010! tftc |
... | RR249 | GLDKTKW2 | RR249 - Thalamorph | Found it | vanguard3 | The last of the book caches. I've only read one so far, and did enjoy it. TFTC. #5715 |
21 Mar 2014 | Q1 | GLDNA6RV | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Found it | Kitty!! | Out with the Crow doing a maintenance tour of the ? about ? puzzle caches. I tested the puzzle and hide out for the CO prior to publication so this was a quick find. Given the hideous weather we've had recently it was in great condition and path drying out nicely! TFTC |
... | Q2 | GLDNAHJD | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Kitty!! | Out with the Crow doing a maintenance tour of the ? about ? puzzle caches. I tested the 5 puzzles out for the CO prior to publication and found this the easiest of them. Last time I walked this route it was necessary to wear wellies - amazed how dry it was today. TFTC |
... | Q3 | GLDNAJ6J | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Kitty!! | Out with the Crow doing a maintenance tour of the ? about ? puzzle caches. I tested the 5 puzzles out for the CO prior to publication. This one was a case of "simple - when you know how!" Path still a little sticky here but not too bad. TFTC |
... | Q4 | GLDNAJTW | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Kitty!! | Out with the Crow doing a maintenance tour of the ? about ? puzzle caches. I tested the 5 puzzles out for the CO prior to publication - I was delighted to find some anomalies in the original puzzle which required some tweaking!! Last time I walked this route it was necessary to wear wellies - amazed how dry it was today. TFTC |
... | Q5 | GLDNAMW9 | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | Kitty!! | Out with the Crow doing a maintenance tour of the ? about ? puzzle caches. I tested the 5 puzzles out for the CO prior to publication. I didn't like the look of this one as it involved "numbers" but once I understood what was required it was a simple matter of tapping numbers into a calculator and the coordinates just rolled out.

... | RR028X | GLDMA0TM | RR028 - Owl | Found it | RachelnRedd | On a walk around the Heath today with my elderly parents, my non caching daughter and Purdey the golden retriever. I had warned everyone that I would be looking for this cache on the way, having saved the co-ords after solving them, with loads of help, at the ? About ? Event last year. Luckily recent clearing, meant the walk across from the car park was a swift and easy one. Found GZ immediately, with the cache on the ground nearby. It was still in its camo, and all dry and intact. A quick sign, and left a toy puppy (seemed appropriate). Replaced back as per hint. Thanks for another RR ticked off! |

... | RR036 | GLDMEJ0E | RR036 - °De | Found it | gillywig | Been waiting for a reason to head south to pick up some solved rally rounds. A possible solution on another plus solving the re-working of RR36 was the incentive.
It appears that 'solving' this one is stretching it a bit. Success on the checker is sort of solving, maybe. Arriving at a familiar point and setting off, after 50 yards or so the toot of a car horn announced the arrival of family infinson. Quick I thought, leg it, ftf still up for grabs. Teasing over we chatted on the way to the find. Not the first time, or the second either, that I had accompanied Ian along this route. No problems with the hide. SL TFTC jtftf. |
... | RR037XX | GLDM96KP | RR037 - °Rø | Found it | infinson | No.3649

... | RR117 | GLDM8PGK | RR117 - I've Got A Trike | Found it | gillywig | Been waiting for a reason to head south to pick up some solved rally rounds. A possible solution on another plus solving the re-working of RR36 was the incentive.This eluded all efforts for quite some time. Then one evening recently, watching the news on tv planted a word in the subconscious and an hour or so later the way to solve just occured. No problem with the find except for a hundred earwigs. SL TFTC Not too many minutes later did I pass the Trike plus rider! |
... | RR131X | GLDM8X88 | RR131 - Board Game 6 | Found it | gillywig | Been waiting for a reason to head south to pick up some solved rally rounds. A possible solution on another plus solving the re-working of RR36 was the incentive.
The Board Game caches are a particular favourite and once into the solution the coordinates came one by one. Certainly think it was the long way of extraction. Loved the simplicity of the hide. SL TFTC.
Now which way next? |
... | RR141 | GLDM4JED | RR141 - Palettable | Write note | Mr Crow | As a courtesy to other cachers who are hopeful of a FTF, it would be appreciated - nay demanded - on my caches if the first to find would be honourable and log their find as quickly as possible even if it is just a "Found, will log later" entry.
Thanks. |
... | RR141 | GLDMC224 | RR141 - Palettable | Found it | gillywig | Many apologies. Had harebrained idea involving the Essex 100 141 caches which led to co-ords but wouldn't pass the checker. Speculative outing to search and stumbled across some 100 yards away. SL.
Will try a bit more to solve before logging.
update
Logging now it has been solved and found. Thanks Ray. (still can't solve)
Congratulations Fenners on a monumental Rally Round day. |
... | RR143 | GLDM97RM | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | gillywig | Been waiting for a reason to head south to pick up some solved rally rounds. A possible solution on another plus solving the re-working of RR36 was the incentive.
En route and a little disorientated when a white flash running across the field caught my eye. A minute later and confirmation of my thought led to a U-turn and a catch up with Mr Crow. Pleased to have a quick chat then be put back on the correct route. (Feel as though the interconnections of roads and caches is finally falling into place but not quite there.)
The solving came about with the aid of the anagram. This though didn't immediately lead to a solution due to an incorrect assumption. I should listen to myself!
The location of this was particularly well known to me(Gr), I had visited at least four times previously, once just prior to its' publishing, when missing a turning and having to turn around. Arriving it was soon found. SL quick trade (can't resist yo-yos) TFTC. (and the mention)
If there is ever a cache ... aka Super Cache Setters, Ray you'd be first on the list.

27 Mar 2014 | RR071X | GLDNPKEK | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | greysman | Solved this one some time ago and only now got round to seeking it. It's a good time of year as the water has gone and the leaves haven't yet sprouted.
Soon found a possible entrance into the wood and recorded my track in to GZ. Then easy to retrace steps to the entrance, but don't think I'd have needed it as the sun was shining to provide a direction. Was accompanied by canine friend Murphy.

31 Mar 2014 | CN | GLDYV76N | Crow's Nest | Found it | AlyNorth | Oh my goodness! What a fabulous cache, very impressive! I absolutely loved this one. Foxscout and I were discussing whether we would get caught, but it was nearly 10pm, so we figured we wouldn't! Dipped some TBs in for mileage but didn't take any this time round. Hopefully when I return in the Summer I can grab some to take on holiday. Thanks so much Mr Crow for a brilliant cache. |
... | CNB | GLDYV7P1 | Crow's Nest (Bonus) | Found it | AlyNorth | Had to borrow Foxscout's GPS for this one - it would have been a shame to miss it. What a brilliant bonus! Thanks for the cache Mr Crow, I had a great evening adventure in the area. |
... | RR146X | GLDQ6A49 | RR146 - Stamp Out Crow | Found it | foxscout | {FTF} 9.38pm Sunday was a day for keeping busy. I had initially planned a visit to Crow country but fatigue meant that wasn't to be. I decided on a day of kitchen chemistry. I made two types of vegan cheese, a herb garlic gournay and two blocks of monteray jack. With them safely setting in the fridge I turned my hand to a batch of peanut butter cupcakes. They were soon cooling on the rack, tempting me...What next I thought? Then I remembered this Crow. It's been nagging at me. The stamp looked so nice... The first batch of cheese was soon ready. I sat down to crackers, garlicy herb loveliness, a cupcake and this puzzle... The crackers and cheese were soon gone and the crow was still sitting there... Maybe a cake would help... Suddenly I knew what to do and I had a set of co-ordinates. I popped them in the checker...but no they weren't right. I took another look and made a slight change and this time I saw the lovely ordnancesurvey in the corner No chance of heading out on Sunday so I filed this away for my next visit. Tonight under a lovely mild, starry sky I found the cache. It was lovely to open the box and find a blank log. I spent some time stamping my book before carefully replacing everything. I loved the puzzle and the stamp and for that I am leaving a favourite! Thank you for a superb puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow!This entry was edited by foxscout on Wednesday, 02 April 2014 at 18:09:39 UTC. |
... | RR146X | GLDYV4M5 | RR146 - Stamp Out Crow | Found it | AlyNorth | Confession time - I drove Foxscout down to this one so she could attempt the FTF and she did! Yay - well done!
I signed the log on 31.03.14 after Foxscout, but I hadn't solved the puzzle. Anyone who knows me, knows that this 'incorrect process' completely stresses me out big time - I'm a bit of an OCD, rules freak!
As soon as we got home from our evening caching trip, I set to work straight away, determined to solve it so I could log it correctly. It wasn't as straightforward as I first thought. It took me a couple of late nights and more work than I expected, to finally get the 'correct' message on geochecker. I have a screen shot of this at 1.46pm on 03.04.14 if Mr Crow needs to see it? I also have a few sheets of workings too!
Great letterbox stamp cache, loved the crow, great hide. Thanks for the cache and for making my grey matter work hard. I'm trying hard with other puzzles as well! |
... | TMT07 | GLDYV60R | Tolleshunt Major Tour 7 | Found it | AlyNorth | On an evening caching adventure with Foxscout. Thought it would be good for me to grab a few caches in the area, as I've not cached in this area before and it would be rude to drive past! Would like to come back and complete the circular tour of these caches, hopefully in the big Summer holidays. TBs visiting. Had a great caching night. Thanks for the cache Mr Crow. |

The lane was surprisingly quite busy for such a small lane. I'm glad there were grass verges to walk on, other wise it could have been a little hairy when the cars passed. Everything in good order here. TFTC |
... | E105 | GLDQBT0A | Essex 100 - 1/05 - Lonely | Found it | blessed&loved | My GPS pointed me towards the farm and I wasn't sure if I should walk though as there were lots of farm machinery in operation. Cachers with children take note. Feeling unsure I decided to ask as I didn't fancy gun shot in my buttocks for trespassing. My GPS was right, the footpath went straight through the middle of the farm. Everything in good order here. TFTC |

... | E109 | GLDQBN8N | Essex 100 - 1/09 - Barred | Found it | blessed&loved | I had a little trouble reaching the cache not because it was awkward to get to but just because I kept snagging my jumper on the hawthorn bush. I decide to take my jumper off thus reducing the risk of permanently damaging it and as it was sunny and warm, topping up my vitamin D and getting a few wonderful rays of sunshine. Ahh the cache was now safely in m hands. TFTC |
... | E110 | GLDQCC6C | Essex 100 - 1/10 - Pub | Found it | blessed&loved | This was my starting point. This one was soon in my hands signed and replaced. TFTC |
... | E111 | GLDQCB44 | Essex 100 - 1/11 - Beach | Found it | blessed&loved | Quite a few muggles around here so stealth was required. I waited for a few strolling muggles to pass before I started my search. This one took more time than it should have, but I wasn't going to give up easily. Perseverance paid off and there it was. Every thing in good order here. TFTC . Thanks Mr Crow and Kitty for yet another thoroughly enjoyable series |

... | E114 | GLDQC63B | Essex 100 - 1/14 - Osea | Found it | blessed&loved | Stealth was required here as the golden muggles were venturing out from what seemed no where. I think they thought I was lost and so the Friendly golden muggles asked if they could assist me. Detracting them from what I was doing I asked about Osea island, only to be informed that when the tide was out it could be accessed via a small path. I think that's going to make a interesting visit. Every thing in good order here. TFTC |

... | RR257X | GLDQJCJR | RR257 - Great Braxted Wall 1 | Found it | Hardyhaha | I have looked at this series for a while and thought it looked quite good, so today was the day. Printed off the page to make it easier for me to follow and parked at the parking co-ords. The first set of numbers were soon found then I was faced with "well where do they go within the grid?" A light bulb pinged and off I went for set number two. Just after I had replaced set #2 a hoard of Muggle Ramblers rambled noisily along the field beside the track all too engrossed in their conversations to even notice the country side that they were there to enjoy! Set three found and then I had the fun of transposing the numbers to the co-ords for the caches. No problem finding the cache, log signed and off again. [:O)] |
... | RR258X | GLDQJFWH | RR258 - Great Braxted Wall - 2 | Found it | Hardyhaha | This one had me wandering up and down abit but got it in the end. [:O)] |
... | RR259X | GLDQJGKD | RR259 - Great Braxted Wall - 3 | Found it | Hardyhaha | Third find or is it really the sixth, after finding the numbers. [:O)] |
... | RR260X | GLDQJHYW | RR260 - Great Braxted Wall - 4 | Found it | Hardyhaha | Another quick find, found two logs books in some caches so signed the older ones. Picked up the TB that had been here a while. [:O)]

... | RR262X | GLDQJM9V | RR262 - Great Braxted Wall - 6 | Found it | Hardyhaha | Last find of the day as my GPRS decided to dump all the loaded geocaches so it was home time. Nice walk in the country side together with a reason to get out there. Thanks for putting this walk together and as others have said 'a good idea for a there and back walk' [:O)] |
03 Apr 2014 | Q2 | GLDTJZX7 | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Postmanpete | My regular walking / geocaching friend, Graham, was not available this week as he told me he had a few appointments to attend to so I decided to head out here for the fourth time in recent weeks mainly as a clear up exercise on my own. After re-locating from the reservoir fishing lodge car park to the waterside away from the time restrictions of the main car parks I set off for the afternoon. I had managed to work out three of the five puzzle caches in the area and got the thumbs up from the brilliant checker, which is always very useful. Seeing that these were in the immediate vicinity and would provide me a continuation of a nice circular walk back to my car I thought I would attempt them. This was the first on my list, unfortunately it meant walking down one path along a short stretch of road and back up another to get to the other side of the field which fenced with barbed wire. I did find a point where, with care, I could have got through and cut some distance of my route. I decided against this mainly because I had no knowledge of what I would have been faced with on the other side of the field. As it happened I needn't have worried because once I got to GZ the woodland that bordered the field had no fencing at all. Once I read the excellent hint I soon spotted the requisite hiding place and the excellent container and cache were soon in my hand. SL / TFTC. |

Seeing that these were in the immediate vicinity and would provide me a continuation of a nice circular walk back to my car I thought I would attempt them. This was the second and at the previous one, "Capital Cities", there was a path through the woodland that wasn't marked on my 1:50,000 O.S. map. As it took me roughly in the correct direction for this one I decided to take it. After a short stretch of road I picked up a footpath again not far from GZ taking me past an amazing property on my left. It's through geocaching that we manage to get to see all these types of properties so thanks for that. It didn't take long from here to get to GZ as indicated by my GPS. Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing foliage it turned out to be the wrong tree with no hole in the back. So after relocating to a better tree the hole and covering were soon found and the cache was soon in my hand. SL / TFTC. |

04 Apr 2014 | RR001 | GLDR1NP2 | RR001 - Wilkin's Grove | Found it | Fenners1984 | Today was my big Rally Round collection day. It all started in July last year when I first came across the puzzles and I've been trying (and often failing) to solve them all ever since. For today's outing I'd prepared a total of 90 solved puzzles to collect and while finding them all was ambitious, I wanted to get as many as I could and at the very least, overtake Infinson's impressive record of 61. The day started in the south of Crow country and headed north and I was joined by Mr Crow himself for caches 11 to 44 and I was glad of the company and navigational assistance. In all, my day totalled 71 caches, of which 68 were Rally Rounds and ended only because of fading light. Somehow, I managed to walk nearly 25 miles - I never imagined it would be that far and my legs are now complaining but it was most definitely worth the effort!

... | RR045 | GLDR1M28 | RR045 - Board Game 2 | Found it | Fenners1984 | Today was my big Rally Round collection day. It all started in July last year when I first came across the puzzles and I've been trying (and often failing) to solve them all ever since. For today's outing I'd prepared a total of 90 solved puzzles to collect and while finding them all was ambitious, I wanted to get as many as I could and at the very least, overtake Infinson's impressive record of 61. The day started in the south of Crow country and headed north and I was joined by Mr Crow himself for caches 11 to 44 and I was glad of the company and navigational assistance. In all, my day totalled 71 caches, of which 68 were Rally Rounds and ended only because of fading light. Somehow, I managed to walk nearly 25 miles - I never imagined it would be that far and my legs are now complaining but it was most definitely worth the effort!

For today's outing I'd prepared a total of 90 solved puzzles to collect and while finding them all was ambitious, I wanted to get as many as I could and at the very least, overtake Infinson's impressive record of 61. The day started in the south of Crow country and headed north and I was joined by Mr Crow himself for caches 11 to 44 and I was glad of the company and navigational assistance. In all, my day totalled 71 caches, of which 68 were Rally Rounds and ended only because of fading light. Somehow, I managed to walk nearly 25 miles - I never imagined it would be that far and my legs are now complaining but it was most definitely worth the effort!

... | E302 | GLDRF9PV | Essex 100 - 3/02 - Decoy | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Dropped TB here (Furtif Geocoin) after another quick find. TFTC SL |
... | E303 | GLDRFA0K | Essex 100 - 3/03 - Marsh | Found it | BBsGeo77 | this one must be placed by 'dwarf', none the less soon found and on the next and some sunny views across the estuary this morning. TFTC SL |
... | E304 | GLDRFACW | Essex 100 - 3/04 - Bohuns | Found it | BBsGeo77 | According to my GPS now entering the sea for this find !! Soon found without getting wet and on to the next. TFTC SL |
... | E306 | GLDRFAVQ | Essex 100 - 3/06 - Mell | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Superb views along estuary. A 'cocklepicker' revealed, probably in search of worms for fishing. He did have a bike so perhaps expecting fast approaching tidal flows !! Soon found and on to next, time is pressing. SL TFTC |
... | E309 | GLDRFB8K | Essex 100 - 3/09 - Wall | Found it | BBsGeo77 | This one laying in the 'shallows' of Bradwell Power Station - did not see any 2 headed fish !! Well camouflaged by seagull poo - not for the faint hearted of sensitive smell ! Carefully retrieved. TFTC SL |
... | E310 | GLDRFCNW | Essex 100 - 3/10 - Mill | Found it | BBsGeo77 | End of the road today - time to turn back. Number 7 of 7 and another section of the series completed.
Can recommend the views and quite scenery. Blessed with some sunshine too - would love to see the tide in on of these Saturday mornings.
Up against time so a brisk walking pace maintained, a steady 5.8 KM/hr allowed me to complete ahead of schedule and snatch a take out coffee at Chigborough Lakes on way back to Heybridge Swifts. With just 10mins stopping time for 7 cache an impressive morning ! Sounds a bit too 'geeky' and perhaps competitive but nonetheless enjoyable. |

... | PP | GLDR5Z2J | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | The Growler | A lot involved in this one but surprised by the final. TFTC |
... | PP | GLDTQNV2 | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | denarius | I was so confused by this cache as we solved it a while back and then finally got round to picking it up. I came home and went to log the find but alas it had been archived. Talking to TG about it while we were out today (10/5) and he said it was called Pegman Perambulation. No, we said it's called Tiptree Virtual Tour. Checked it out when we got home and found they were the same? A fun cache which we enjoyed solving. Thanks. |
... | RR091 | GLDRP3N0 | RR091 - Susan Fellgate | Found it | King of the Pundits | A rare day to myself at late notice; and one where plenty of unfinished business was seen to. Thirty seven caches from the crack of dawn until shortly before the classified results on Radio 5L. An eclectic mix of the previously unfound, the solved but never looked for and a smattering of Village signs and telephone boxes; all predominantly against the backdrop of the Dengie peninsula – one of the few places that bewitches the stress from your body within minutes of arrival.
#22/37 - With an eye on the Rally Round record at some point I reckoned I might not need this one as it's out on a limb and so decided to pick it up today. I solved the puzzle during the winter and one of the longer and most enjoyable puzzles to solve. Met some odd characters for sure. There were even a couple of odd characters at GZ today while I tried to put the container back in its hiding place. Just seen the record for RRs has been extended to 68 and this one may be beyond me this year now sadly. With another royal addition to the family in April due. |

... | E122 | GLDRMEJ4 | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Didn't find it | ryanessex | 2nd time of trying but no luck. Not sure the instructions are ideal or the coordinates are exact, a bit overgrown aswell |
... | E301 | GLDRF7DR | Essex 100 - 3/01 - Graticule | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Opportunity today to try and complete another section of the series. First of 7 targeted. A quick find and 2 for the price of one here ! SL onto next. |
... | E322 | GLDTJMC8 | Essex 100 - 3/22 - Assignment | Found it | steelr | Found but no pen had to use the mrs lippy |
07 Apr 2014 | CM1292 | GLDT4KTG | Church Micro 1292 - Tolleshunt Knights - Annexe | Found it | Fenners1984 | I spent quite some time roaming the graveyard trying to find the information and failing (D, I, E and G eluded me) and not for the first time today either... Nonetheless, managed to find the cache using a little speculation and the hint and was pleased to be able to sign the log. TFTC #877 |
... | CM848 | GLDT4GCW | Church Micro 848 - All Saints, Great Braxted | Found it | Fenners1984 | Another day, another outing into Crow country and a good find here. Took two circuits to find most of the information (didn't see E at all!) but happily conjectured the rest and located the cache where I suspected it was in the first place! TFTC #874 |
... | PP | GLDT4HGJ | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | Fenners1984 | I believe I was the first to solve the original incarnation of this cache, Tiptree Virtual Tour within about an hour of publication, but never managed to get out to pick it up before it was rudely archived. Today I was passing by and decided to grab this while I had the chance and found it without any problems. TFTC #875 |
... | RR097 | GLDT4Q7B | RR097 - Cacher's Path | Found it | Fenners1984 | On my way back home, I passed something I'd seen before and hadn't given much thought. Today I passed by again and decided to take a speculative look, having this cache in mind. I was extremely pleased to be able to sign the log and tick this previously unsolved cache off my now shortening list of Rally Rounds to do! TFTC #879 |
... | RR135 | GLDT4K0D | RR135 - Futoshiki | Found it | Fenners1984 | As I was in the area, I had to pick up a few of the Rally Rounds I'd missed last week on my epic run. This was one of them and a quick find at GZ. Picked up the nearby Church Micro too before moving on. TFTC #876 |
08 Apr 2014 | CM2243 | GLDTA60J | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Found it | team Tong | A quick park and cache whilst on my way to collect Mimi and Mao from the Cattery. Easy find using hint as no GPS today. Container not as expected from description, but a good hide nevertheless! TFTC |
... | CN | GLDTAW3Z | Crow's Nest | Write note | Mr Crow | TBs dropped. |
... | RR032 | GLDTG3C1 | RR032 - Quite Near Olive | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Third visit and with the tide having gone out we retrieved the cache successfully today. A real team effort with this puzzle all having input in one way or another! TFTC |
... | RR036 | GLDTG5Y7 | RR036 - °De | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Another familiar location to walk to with this replacement cache. Cache soon to hand once at GZ TFTC |
... | RR037XX | GLDTG5KA | RR037 - °Rø | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Another one for us to finish whilst StratOman could move on solving something else. A sense of deja vu from some time back with this replacement. Quick and easy find at GZ. TFTC |
... | RR064 | GLDTG4DB | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman passed this one over for us to finalise and a quick and easy find at GZ amongst the nettles! TFTC |
... | RR065 | GLDTG4KG | RR065 - °R | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman started this and we finished it after he told us it was easy enough for us to do! Sneaky little hide but StratOman spotted it surprising quickly. We must remember not to teach him too much for actually finding the caches otherwise we will be redundant in the future! Keeping him on the puzzle solving side will be much more advantageous and then we will remain useful! He is even getting better at anagrams LOL TFTC |
... | RR067 | GLDTFZ4Q | RR067 - Drapers Farm | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Another StratOman solved puzzle but we did do the anagram! Easy find once past the vicious guards! TFTC |
... | RR077X | GLDTG6JW | RR077 - Pure Conjecture | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Last one of the day testing ATM's new knee! It works The team don't do conjecture. For us solving the puzzle is essential. After taking tea with Mr Crow and Chick we headed for GZ and would not have found the cache without massive guidance from Mr Crow himself. TFTC |
... | RR109X | GLDTG0M9 | RR109 - When I'm 64 ... | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Never was a Beatle fan (deebooted) so very little help here! Pleasant stroll singing the song all the way to GZ. Easy find once there. TFTC |
... | RR113 | GLDTG27C | RR113 - Pontifex | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Great puzzle and very involved as others will find when they solve it. Today we collected the actual cache after solving the first part some while ago. Super hide, Mr Crow at his devious best! TFTC and a favourite point |
... | RR120X | GLDTCBNP | RR120 - A Triggy Little Cache | Found it | Fenners1984 | In the area (again!) and picked up another of my solved caches. Had plenty of trouble with the puzzle and put it aside for some time before revisiting and persevering with it. Had equally as much trouble finding somewhere to stop here, but found a suitable spot and wandered across to the hide. Spotted quickly but extraction was more troublesome but with the help of a big stick, the prize was eventually mine. TFTC #881 |
... | RR129X | GLDTFYN6 | RR129 - Nil And Zero - Do It | Found it | deebooted & ATM | First of another day picking up RR caches with StratOman. It was he who did this one almost unaided by us. Bright and breezy weather. Field of rape to walk through to arrive at GZ. Easy find here. TFTC |
... | RR143 | GLDTG1AR | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman beat us to it here whilst we were committed elsewhere he got on with the solution yet again! Nice to feature in the puzzle! Easy find at GZ Great views of open countryside and even more rape. TFTC |
09 Apr 2014 | E122 | GLDTPDGW | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Found it | blessed&loved | Yipee I found it on the second attempt. One very happy bunny. Thanks Mr Crow and Kitty I look forward to doing the Goldhanger west series. TFTC |
... | RR032 | GLDTG9CJ | RR032 - Quite Near Olive | Found it | StratOman | With a DNF on our last visit we were delighted to get our hands on this cache at last. Thanks to ATM for solving this frustrating puzzle ..... TFTC. |
... | RR036 | GLDTGAQG | RR036 - °De | Found it | StratOman | Third of the four replacement caches, all with the same theme. Done the arithmetic and passed it to my mapping experts Deebooted & ATM to get the coords. The cache had not been replaced correctly, so we made sure it was nice and secure this time. TFTC |
... | RR037XX | GLDTGB20 | RR037 - °Rø | Found it | StratOman | Final of the four replacement caches, all with the same theme. Done the arithmetic and passed it to my mapping experts Deebooted & ATM to get the coords. Quick find once at GZ Pleased to get our 4 points back again :) TFTC |
... | RR044 | GLDTHW9G | RR044 - Ms Kitty | Found it | Fenners1984 | No bother with puzzle or location. A quick find and back to the car here. My last of the day before having to get on with some housework (Groan!)

... | RR064 | GLDTGAAV | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | StratOman | Second of the four replacement caches, all with the same theme. Done the arithmetic and passed it to my mapping experts Deebooted & ATM to get the coords. Nice hide .... TFTC |
... | RR065 | GLDTGA2J | RR065 - °R | Found it | StratOman | First of the four replacement caches, all with the same theme. Done the arithmetic and passed it to my mapping experts Deebooted & ATM to get the coords. Quick find once at GZ TFTC |
... | RR067 | GLDTGJDR | RR067 - Drapers Farm | Found it | StratOman | Pondered over this one for a long, long time before the light bulb moment. So easy when you know how, as with so many of Ray's puzzles.
Once at GZ it took ATM & I a little while to get the cache in hand. TFTC and yet another favourite. |
... | RR075 | GLDTHTXB | RR075 - Bonzo | Found it | Fenners1984 | This one took me quite some time to work out what I needed to do, despite having spotted something that would lead me in the right direction. At GZ I was nearly muggled by, of all people, a work colleague but thankfully he disappeared off while I found the cache. TFTC #898

... | RR077X | GLDTGNA2 | RR077 - Pure Conjecture | Found it | StratOman | It was very fortunate that we popped into Ray's for a cuppa before heading north for this last cache of the day. As we always do the puzzle before we go hunting for the cache this one wasn't really up our street. However thanks to very generous nudge from Ray, we didn't have to waste too much time finding this cache. So ended out 10th visit and another 11 to add to our total. It was such a pity our team was one light this visit with Deebooted busy getting ready for her & ATM's next holiday. Big thanks to her superb map which allowed ATM & to do an adequate job without her Still lots more RR's to get in the coming months. TFTC |
... | RR080X | GLDTHVM8 | RR080 - Mr Crow | Found it | Fenners1984 | I had no problem finding the cache here and took it through to the next field where I disturbed a snake (assume grass) and a couple of lizards (photos taken - poor quality on my phone, sadly). Although I had the necessary details to open the pot, it took a few attempts... Only one thing wrong in the end. Swapped TBs here to celebrate. TFTC #899

... | RR085 | GLDTHTEV | RR085 - Blue Cross Code | Found it | Fenners1984 | I can't recall how I solved this puzzle but had no real bother at GZ. Just a matter of finding the right spot really! TFTC #897
This entry was edited by Fenners1984 on Wednesday, 09 April 2014 at 17:25:46 UTC. |
... | RR086 | GLDTHT31 | RR086 - Huffman | Found it | Fenners1984 | This was one of those puzzles I looked at and put aside several times, despite knowing exactly what to do. It took some effort to decrypt the coordinates but I got there in the end. Picked up the cache today without much bother. TFTC #896

... | RR109X | GLDTGCB8 | RR109 - When I'm 64 ... | Found it | StratOman | Now I am a great Beatles fan being spoon fed on it as a boy, and I am a musician, so surely this 2.5 star puzzle would be a gift. Quite the opposite, it has been on my "To do" pile for over 6 months !!!! It wasn't until my son Andrew took a quick look that the penny dropped. How could I have missed something so obvious. Well there was a reason but it would give the game away. Both I and ATM spotted the cache as soon as we got to GZ. TCTC and a favourite ... |
... | RR113 | GLDTGE9R | RR113 - Pontifex | Found it | StratOman | Back in March with Deebooted & ATM we got to GZ and found the field puzzle. Oh no, why didn't I bring my notes, always a good idea when you live 35 miles away !
Returning this time with ATM and the field puzzle solved, we finally started searching for the cache. What a great hide, it took my experienced caching friend ATM a long while to get this one in hand. Very cheeky hide Mr Crow.
If I could give this 2 favourites I would ... but glad to be second to find .... TFTC |
... | RR129X | GLDTGH11 | RR129 - Nil And Zero - Do It | Found it | StratOman | I really must make better notes after I have solved a puzzle. It is often so long before we collect the cache that I have no idea how I did it. Once the anagram was solved it was all downhill with this one, if I remember correctly. It was probably a blessing that Deebooted couldn't make this trip as ATM & I had to walk through a field of rape seed to get to the cache. She would have been sneezing for the rest of the day bless her. Nice easy find once at GZ TFTC and another favourite |
... | RR137 | GLDTHRHD | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | Fenners1984 | You can't keep me away at the moment! I picked this one up as I was in the area and took no time at GZ. I too wondered what the field puzzle could be. It posed no problems of course... As for the main puzzle, also no problems once the right way forward had been deduced. TFTC #895

... | RR143 | GLDTGK3F | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | StratOman | Wow, we are famous Didn't take too long to figure this one out thanks to the generous hint. Deebooted & ATM and myself all contributed to this one. TFTC |
10 Apr 2014 | CC | GLDTXXG6 | Crow's Cawlumn | Found it | anorthite | TFTC! |
... | CL03 | GLDTVK4W | Chigborough Lakes Nature Reserve - 3 | Found it | greysman | This turned into a 'Gillywig' experience. I knew almost whereabouts the cache was and was heading towards GZ when the batteries failed on Garmin. In the dark, as it were, I carried on searching left and right until I got to the Pit Road when I knew I'd gone too far. There's been a mass of cutting down and chopping of timber following high wind damage so was thinking that I may have been hunting for something which wasn't there. But I persevered and came up with the goods on the way back towards the start. Nice walk on a great afternoon, but I decided that I'd come back for the other two another day - with fresh batteries!! Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out. TFTC |
... | CM2243 | GLDTT0CJ | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Found it | Spooney15 | This was a nice quick find thanks to an excellent hint
TFTC |

... | SA | GLDZDMVW | Steve and Angie | Found it | svenucool | Zusammen mit Buddi gefunden. TFTC!!!! |
11 Apr 2014 | RR029 | GLDTZ4QJ | RR029 - Kelvedon South | Found it | Fenners1984 | Had to chuckle as I drove nearby to see a tailback on the A12. Thankfully it didn't affect me on my way home. Anyhow, it was an easy find. Not that I recalled the picture from the cache page at all. TFTC #918 |
... | RR030 | GLDTZ16B | RR030 - Du Cane | Found it | Fenners1984 | Another foray into Crow country to mop up all the outstanding loose ends in the area. This was a simple one to find in the end, despite my GPS sending me far too far beyond the hide... TFTC #910 |
... | RR040 | GLDTZ2J4 | RR040 - Mummy Crow | Found it | Fenners1984 | After the difficulty of A Bad Sine, this was picked up without having to duck or weave over and between trees. I was quite thankful for that! TFTC #912 |
... | RR064 | GLDTZ314 | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | Fenners1984 | Another on the list of solved Rally Rounds not collected yet. Parked up carefully nearby and found without much of an issue. TFTC #914 |
... | RR071X | GLDTZ2AM | RR071 - A Bad Sine | Found it | Fenners1984 | Well this was a challenge! First I needed to find a suitable stopping point and found such a spot just down the road from the entrance to the wood. Getting into the wood was tricky enough but it only got worse as I traipsed on, ducking under branches, hopping over trees, picking up rogue golf balls (inexplicably in such a place, I found three...) and finally reaching my destination to be able to sign a remarkably well visited tree. I took a photo of the tree to celebrate although I suspect it's very similar to another seen here! Getting back was more interesting as I took a slightly different route (I think) and found an easier path back to near the start point. There began my trouble in bridging the gap between a particulaly thick section of wood and the entrance. Eventually I found a way round and I escaped, pleased to be able to stand up straight again! TFTC and the challenge. #911 |

13 Apr 2014 | E218 | GLDVRK7X | Essex 100 - 2/18 - E-vil | Found it | Kris&Co | The plan for today was supposed to see me completing the Essex 100 loop 4, however a change in plans meant I didn't have as much time as I would've liked so being already here I decided to do a few and then try to get a few more on the way home.
This was another that I didn't have the time to give a proper search to last time, so after the success at the previous one I took a little further wander and gave the area a good going over and happily found it, not quite sure how I missed it last time but pleased to get it this time.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | E220 | GLDVRK6G | Essex 100 - 2/20 - Lopped | Found it | Kris&Co | The plan for today was supposed to see me completing the Essex 100 loop 4, however a change in plans meant I didn't have as much time as I would've liked so being already here I decided to do a few and then try to get a few more on the way home. As this was another one that I missed last year, I took a short detour to it today and was able to find it this time around another smiley ticked off. Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |

Got a little off track and ended up here, which turned out okay as not having enough time for the whole loop this made a mini loop for me today.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |

The only problem with nice days, is it brings everyone and their brother out. Took some pics while waiting for four different groups of people to pass. Had a little think about where this might be, whilst debating where it may be I spotted something which turned out to be it . Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |

Couldn't figure out the way to this one last year, but today as I had to cut my walk short I had a better look and found the path. Nicely hidden.

... | RR022X | GLDW0QFG | RR022 - PolyCache 5 | Found it | kareninwb | Solved back in March but waited until I had a few RRs to find. Approached this one from the other end of the path. The container had lost its natural camouflage and so was visible from the path. Covered a bit better before leaving. |
... | RR034 | GLDW0GRB | RR034 - Proxim.Ity.me.uk | Found it | kareninwb | At Last! I looked at this cache about two years ago and decided I couldn't do it even with a nudge in the right direction from the CO. It has been on the back burner ever since.
I was revisting the RR caches closest to home recently and had another look at this one. Suddenly the penny dropped and I realised what was required. Took a bit of searching on the internet to find what I needed but found a good site. Entered the numbers into the Crow Checker and got a great sense of satisfaction when the word CORRECT came up.
Went to find the cache today. I'm not sure if I took the correct route to this one - I sort of expected a farmer to appear from nowhere and tell me I wasn't on a footpath ( I'm not actually sure whether I was or not). Felt happy once under the cover off trees. Rooted around a bit at GZ and eventually located the cache. Saw the two logsheets and so signed them both! Have a favourite point. |
... | RR040 | GLDVRK8M | RR040 - Mummy Crow | Found it | Kris&Co | The plan for today was supposed to see me completing the Essex 100 loop 4, however a change in plans meant I didn't have as much time as I would've liked so being already here I decided to do a few and then try to get a few more on the way home.
Mmm not sure how I got here, but somehow this one appeared on the map not to far away, so I took a little break and went to add this to the list. Must come and have a puzzle collecting day soon.
Thank you for a fun puzzle, took me a little while but once I worked out what I needed to do the answer soon was at hand.
Thank you for the Cache Mr Crow |
... | RR109X | GLDW0YHE | RR109 - When I'm 64 ... | Found it | kareninwb | Third Rally Round today. The Beatles weren't really from my pop listening days, the seventies being more my era! However, their songs are so well known.
Having attended the ?s about ?s event earlier this year I had an idea of what to look for here. Took a little longer than I'd anticipated but always very pleasing when the Crow checker says you've got it right. Nice peaceful final location - not a soul insight. Have a favourite point. |

... | PP | GLEJJZ87 | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | gillywig | Found the previous incarnation though not here! Out with foxscout in RR country. Tried to conjecture final but woefully out. Found in the end. SL. Visited the host of the original and sadly no more. Nice book mind. Thanks Ray for your efforts(as you know a bit of a strret view fan). Will transfer fav when I work out how.

... | RR036 | GLDX7BJC | RR036 - °De | Found it | foxscout | I saw these published whilst I was eating my porridge and wondered, could I solve one before our planned day trip to Brighton The answer was no! They would have to wait till Sunday. I spent a fun Sunday morning solving the four of them. And soon had four nice plots on the map. I really enjoyed the walk to GZ in the wonderful afternoon sunshine. Once there it took me a few moments to spot this nicely hidden cache. Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR037XX | GLDX7BJ2 | RR037 - °Rø | Found it | foxscout | I saw these published whilst I was eating my porridge and wondered, could I solve one before our planned day trip to Brighton The answer was no! They would have to wait till Sunday. I spent a fun Sunday morning solving the four of them. And soon had four nice plots on the map. As we approached GZ I was filled with fear and trepidation...I remembered my last fateful journey along here When I packed my bag this morning I nearly included my walking pole...just in case! I needn't have worried. The sun and wind have dried the paths Once at GZ I quickly spotted this nice hide. Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR064 | GLDX7BHD | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | foxscout | I saw these published whilst I was eating my porridge and wondered, could I solve one before our planned day trip to Brighton The answer was no! They would have to wait till Sunday. I spent a fun Sunday morning solving the four of them. And soon had four nice plots on the map. Once at GZ I quickly located the cache. Putting it back took a little longer as the resident nettles stung both my hands! Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR064 | GLDYZFB2 | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | gillywig | Strange. Sure I put this location in the checker. Must have made a typo' Quick find where suspected it would be. Log signed TFTC. This entry was edited by gillywig on Wednesday, 14 May 2014 at 21:40:05 UTC. |
... | RR065 | GLDX7BH1 | RR065 - °R | Found it | foxscout | I saw these published whilst I was eating my porridge and wondered, could I solve one before our planned day trip to Brighton The answer was no! They would have to wait till Sunday. I spent a fun Sunday morning solving the four of them. And soon had four nice plots on the map. This was the first of the four we visited and my GPSr took me straight to GZ. We had a good search but we both suspected the cache might be AWOL. Thank you for letting me log this and thank you for the fun puzzle Mr Crow. |
... | RR116X | GLDX9TTY | RR116 - Clefer Crow | Found it | foxscout | This puzzle print out has sat on my desk at home and at work for so long! I have pages and pages of different ideas and I can even hear the crazy 'tune' in my head It's quite challenging to try and play on a mandolin! With the list of unsolved Rally Rounds diminishing this puzzle kept coming back to the top of the pile. I decided to go back to the beginning and pretend I had never seen it before. I started from first principles and again sat staring at the page. Ages ago whilst trying to solve another puzzle I had an idea in my head for a way to solve it, I was completely wrong and it remains unsolved but I had never thought to try that method on this. I grabbed a clean piece of paper and was soon faced with a page of goobledygook That doesn't usually deter me and on I ploughed...after a few more scribbles I reached for my Rally Round puzzle solving box and one of it's latest additions. It looked so good I thought I must be close but the checker kept saying no... I checked and rechecked it and clocked up a few more failures on the checker I decided an email to Mr Crow was in order and sent him my scribblings meticulously reproduced via the gift of paint A quick response revealed I was looking at the old image. A few more scribbles and the lovely green light on the checker! I loved the walk to GZ today. I approached from the north. The ground is drying nicely and wellies and walking pole were not required!!! This a great puzzle and well worth the effort and time it took to solve. I'm leaving a favourite point here for the very enjoyable puzzle and the fact that I got to use possibly the most unusual item in my puzzle solving box! Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR142 | GLDX7BG8 | RR142 - Cluckable | Found it | foxscout | Well! Where to start with this? I have a list of things I do when presented with a new puzzle. But for some reason I got sidetracked and fixated on something. I was adamant I was looking at the right thing. I tried this and that. Feeling absolutely sure I was right! Of course I was completely wrong Today I had the most wonderful walk to GZ. We didn't walk the shortest or most direct route, we enjoyed the sunshine and the lovely countryside. At GZ it took me a few moments to spot the hide. Nice hide in a nice location and for the fun trying to solve it...definitely a favourite! Thank you for the puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR143 | GLDX7BGK | RR143 - Super Cachers | Found it | foxscout | I did the same as CurioCT with this and spent a happy hour or so working out what we already had After that I sat looking at it. The anagram was solved quickly but the solve took a little longer. The location for this made me smile! How many times have I been here? Once at GZ it took me a few moments to spot the hide. No swapsies with me today otherwise I would have taken that lovely little duck Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
18 Apr 2014 | CL01 | GLDXJBRT | Chigborough Lakes Nature Reserve - 1 | Found it | $tu | Arrived at the suggested parking co-ords just to find that the gate was locked but I was able to park at the side of the road so it didn't cause any problems.
Managed to retrieve the required information off the welcome board and worked out the co-ords for the three caches.
I think I probably took the longer route to this cache but enjoyed the stroll to GZ, found the cache without any problems then took a couple of minutes to take in my surroundings.
Now on to the next one.

Managed to retrieve the required information off the welcome board and worked out the co-ords for the three caches.
Really enjoying the stroll around the lakes and taking in all the lovely views. Another straight forward find here.

Managed to retrieve the required information off the welcome board and worked out the co-ords for the three caches.
On route to the final cache amongst all the lovely surroundings was an unfortunate little rabbit that had been decapitated, hopefully not the Easter bunny!
Managed a quick find here to complete this little series, thank you for bringing me to this spot that I have never been to before. Giving a fav point for the series.

... | PP | GLDXCTC3 | Pegman Perambulation | Found it | Denbymist | I did the Tiptree Virtual Tour back in January, and found and signed, thank-you very much. I did notice after that there were a few problems, and it was renamed, but I thought it had stayed in the same location. However, when I was in that location recently, I thought I would sign again and get a smiley face for the new title. But it was nowhere to be found, whats going on? When I got home and did some checking, there was an additional puzzle to solve. Soon had that puzzle solved, entered the new numbers into the GPS; thats even closer to me than the original. A short walk and the new location and cache found. Signed the log and replaced TFTC. |
... | RR013 | GLDXKRZK | RR013 - Moduko | Found it | peakat | Pleased to say that after not finding this one in Feb we were back today, having received a hint from CO to where it might be it was quickly found Thanks for the puzzle and the cache |
... | RR030 | GLDXKXQT | RR030 - Du Cane | Found it | peakat | Sadly Du Cane PH is closed and up for let . This one was not in the direction tha I thought it was and it took Grandma to put me on the right path [:O)]. Lovely walk to GZ and as I had solved the anagram for the location it was an easy find. a new log book to sign as well. Thanks for the puzzle which is harder than it looks and the cache. |
19 Apr 2014 | RR065 | GLDXX89E | RR065 - °R | Found it | gillywig | Finally found the missing half of the 'necessary' for these four. Not the first time visited and suspect not the last . SL TFTC. This entry was edited by gillywig on Wednesday, 14 May 2014 at 21:35:28 UTC. |

... | RR029 | GLEGR6M6 | RR029 - Kelvedon South | Found it | mattwhiskers | I was definitely on a mission with this one, spending a hour or so on a lazy Easter afternoon solving this one to exercise the little grey cells! On a meandering trip back from another cache, just enough time to grab the cache as the gloom descended for the evening! Thought I was going to have to disappear somewhere very dark and gloomy, but an obvious spot for a hide popped up just in time! TFTC :) |
... | RR073 | GLDYKBPK | RR073 - Prime Evil | Found it | HollynCharlie | Simon had looked at this sometime ago and as we were out and about he had some co-ords but had never had them checked as he was busy at work at the time however it seemed that they were spot on, Very nice hide TFTC |

... | RR144 | GLDYK313 | RR144 - Oinkment | Found it | HollynCharlie | Having a leisurely day today collecting a few caches, thankfully the rain was still holding off. Evie loved the piggiee and it made her squeal with laughter. TFTC |

... | E122 | GLE22A8P | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Found it | smatti68 | On a gloriously sunny, if somewhat blustery day, I ventured forth with Fenners1984 & Mrs F to an area I'd not been to before for a little caching walk. I was slightly incapacitated having dropped and broken my phone and, as a result, had to rely on Fenners1984 to provide locations and hints to all the caches attempted. It was a fabulous walk with lots of birds spotted, wonderful scenery and more than a touch of sunburn. It seemed only right to retire to my garden in the evening with a well deserved beer whilst the sun set.
How do you look inconspicuous standing in a ditch whilst muggles pass by?

... | E203 | GLDZ8PYP | Essex 100 - 2/03 - Barrier | Found it | Fenners1984 | Out caching on a glorious Bank Holiday today with Mrs F and Smatti68. We walked the Essex 100 section 2 almost to Tollesbury and returned to Goldhanger on the latter part of section 5. About 10 miles in all and 30 plus caches collected on the way plus, infuriatingly, one DNF.
Lots of birds around, including chaffinches, oystercatchers, stonechats, a buzzard, kestrels and geese (although unidentified from great distance) along with plenty of people walking the sea wall. One poor horse was chased by a rogue dog at one stage. Thankfully the ordeal didn't last too long and all seemed to be ok on our return past the poor horse.
No issues with any of the caches apart from 2/02 where we failed to find anything. Another section of the Essex 100 crossed off.

Lots of birds around, including chaffinches, oystercatchers, stonechats, a buzzard, kestrels and geese (although unidentified from great distance) along with plenty of people walking the sea wall. One poor horse was chased by a rogue dog at one stage. Thankfully the ordeal didn't last too long and all seemed to be ok on our return past the poor horse.
No issues with any of the caches apart from 2/02 where we failed to find anything. Another section of the Essex 100 crossed off.

Lots of birds around, including chaffinches, oystercatchers, stonechats, a buzzard, kestrels and geese (although unidentified from great distance) along with plenty of people walking the sea wall. One poor horse was chased by a rogue dog at one stage. Thankfully the ordeal didn't last too long and all seemed to be ok on our return past the poor horse.
No issues with any of the caches apart from 2/02 where we failed to find anything. Another section of the Essex 100 crossed off.

I was slightly incapacitated having dropped and broken my phone and, as a result, had to rely on Fenners1984 to provide locations and hints to all the caches attempted. It was a fabulous walk with lots of birds spotted, wonderful scenery and more than a touch of sunburn. It seemed only right to retire to my garden in the evening with a well deserved beer whilst the sun set.
Another quick find.

... | RR050 | GLE08VAH | RR050 - Hernaman's Hike (Essex) | Found it | Stones2005 | 6242 As the Piffle today was very close to Crow Territory, a couple of weeks ago Cass and I decided to make a day of it and collect some Rally Rounds. I hadn't really tried to crack my unsolved ones for quite a while, so we both set to and tried to solve as many as we could before today. A bright and early start, we made good headway until we succumbed to a cup of tea at Jen's complete with serenading by Evie . After that we collected a few other caches before the meet. Cass came in handy here! TFTC |
... | RR052X | GLE09KTP | RR052 - Keep Smiling | Found it | Geocass&Andy750x | Ooh well it would have been rude not to pick this one up today after I had spent so much time trying to solve it a year or so ago. Just when I thought I had the solution I was knocked back after just a few seconds of success. I sat for ages working out what was wrong when I knew I must be right. I got there in the end and so this was a very satisfying solve. I'll add a favourite point here as it bugged me for so long. A quick find at GZ. Signed 'GCAX'. TFTC!

It was good to pick this one up today though as it had been on my solved list for so long. Quite a nice hiding place with lots of nooks and crannies for a cache which I eventually spotted.

I felt quite smug about that, but it didn't get me anywhere!!! The coordinates were very slow to follow but I did really enjoy this one despite the brain ache it caused!!! Quite overgrown on the way ot GZ and we didn't manage to work out the location anagram until we were at GZ when Mrs. Stones2005 had her hands on it. Signed 'GCAX'. TFTC!

I had spent ages looking at this one and worked out what I thought it could be, but I couldn't see one anywhere! I bit more indepth study and I found that there was indeed a possibility. I used Google Earth to suss out the possibility and put my coords through the checker. Checker said no, but I thought I was maybe just a few numbers out and went to look in that location today. To my surprise I found a different cache there, but then we noticed a second possibility and it was second time lucky! TFTC |

Once at GZ, me and Mrs. Stones2005 had a few candidates to search. We were both looking for some time before I rechecked somewhere Mrs. Stones2005 had already looked at and saw something suspicous. I removed the camo and AHHHHHHHHH! A city of earwigs and milipedes. We waited a little while for them to all disperse and carefully, very carefully I pulled the cache away from it's hiding place not wanting any of the creatures to touch me.

... | RR122 | GLE09KVP | RR122 - Internet Mad | Found it | Geocass&Andy750x | Seeing this amount of numbers always freaks me out. However, I'd seen a lot of these "things" back at uni in a "Computer graphics programming in Java" module so some fond (Don't know if that's the right word) memories came flooding back. Thankfully this puzzle didn't quite hurt my brain as that module (Which was by far the toughest one I had to do). A very nice walk to GZ, but lots of hiding places once. After we'd checked about 10 or so places I eventually spotted something suspicious which was indentified as being the cache only after the huge pile of earwigs on top had run away.

Enlisted the help of a dear friend, who was a music and maths teacher at Moulsham High, she was unable to fathom it either, and like us found it frustrating. With a watch put on the page, months later CurioCT and Kris&co found an error on the cache page and after an adjustment to the page the FTF was rightly theirs. Even with a new cache page to work on, we still could not solve it. Talking last month about this puzzle, we were asked if we knew that there was another amended cache page, "no" was the answer. Finally solved using the 3rd edition and geochecker said "Success". Pleased with a nice quick find at GZ this morning. TFTC. |

30 Apr 2014 | E106 | GLE2JMMB | Essex 100 - 1/06 - Rook | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 had an evening fixture tonight (3-0 win, scored 2) so while he was warming up prior to kick off, I dashed down the road to Heybridge to grab a cheeky chunk of this series. Managed to get all 4 on this short stretch in under 15 minutes. 4/4. Great hide and an ingenious container; quite fitting since the CO is an author after all! Cacher's instinct and nimble fingers are the order of the day here. Very pleased with my quick excursion. TFTC #856 |

Telltale sign soon spotted and cache safely in hand. SL and replaced. TFTC #855 |

Managed to get all 4 on this short stretch in under 15 minutes. 2/4. Plenty of activity for early evening in the nearby fisheries car park, so had to pick my moment for a swift search, grab, sign, replace. All done and dusted in no time, then off again. TFTC #854 |
... | E109 | GLE2JJGD | Essex 100 - 1/09 - Barred | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 had an evening fixture tonight (3-0 win, scored 2) so while he was warming up prior to kick off, I dashed down the road to Heybridge to grab a cheeky chunk of this series. Managed to get all 4 on this short stretch in under 15 minutes. 1/4. Pulled up about 50m away and soon spotted a way in to GZ. Quick feel about revealed the cache. While signing log, a van pulled up to let an oncoming car pass - I gave the driver quite a fright, crouching in the hedge! TFTC #853 |

Every time we came across a cache on the sea wall it was muggle central so lots of waiting around/admiring the view/tying of shoe laces and various other tactics were employed.
A lovely walk - TFTC |

18 May 2014 | E405 | GLE8KNNT | Essex 100 - 4/05 - Blocks | Found it | smatti68 | On yet another fabulously sunny day, what else is there to do but go caching?
Upon stepping out of the car to the sound of a cuckoo there followed many more bird sightings including Avocet, Lapwing, Terns, Little Terns, Swans, Geese, Oyster Catchers , Swallows, Skylarks, a possible Marsh Harrier and a very suprised Hare.
The route was practically deserted apart from when we came upon a cache at which point every twitcher suddenly appeared so the usual delaying tactics were deployed, even to the point of sitting in some long grass hiding while an elderly couple had their lunch looking at the cache.
All caches were found easily apart from No 15 where, even with the help of two lovely gentlemen from the RSPB who were guarding a nesting site, we were unable to find it. They will ask their colleagues if they've found it as they arranged for the area to be strimmed during the last week.

All caches were found easily apart from No 15 where, even with the help of two lovely gentlemen from the RSPB who were guarding a nesting site, we were unable to find it. They will ask their colleagues if they've found it as they arranged for the area to be strimmed during the last week.

Quickly found the clues on the board, hurriedly processed the information and initially made an error by missing one of the "+2"s. However, later realised that the locations could not be right, and made the necessary adjustments. 1/3. Enjoying the walk when I remarked to PB Jnr that "that would be a good place for a cache". Freakily, once the coords were corrected, they took me straight back there and Hatfield12 made the grab. TFTC #914 |

However, soon realised that the locations could not be right, made the adjustment and set off for the caches. 3/3. Sound of thunder in the air and storm clouds gathering overhead as we neared the final cache of the walk, so it was left to dad to nip in for the find and to sign the log while the others hastened through the trees. We were about 200m from the car when the heavens opened, so we had just about timed it right to run the last stretch and jump in, dripping but laughing.

28 May 2014 | CN | GLEBJQVT | Crow's Nest | Found it | Peverel Blue | Out and about in Crow Country this evening with PB Jnr, picking up the clues needed for RR38 and RR49, so thought we might just drop in on the abode (or should I say 'perch') of the man himself. The little fella really enjoyed opening the treasure chest and what a wealth of TBs for us to discover inside! Left one that we have had for a while and took Spiderman to move on. SL and resealed the container. Tried to get my Oregon 450 to pick up the Bonus Chirp but even with Chirp searching on this did not work. Had the same problem on Yorkie's 50th series, so I must be doing something wrong - any advice on this would be welcome. TFTC #932 |

... | RR148X | GLEBK0G8 | RR148 - NeuroCrow | Write note | grinning_buddha | Well, that was fun. I certainly won't be wearing _those_ shoes to work tomorrow.
One obvious feature of the cipher gave me an idea, which was quickly confirmed by finding the expected crib (I do like a well-punctuated message). That allowed me to reveal the real nature of CROW and proceed to the next level, after which the remaining layers unfolded quite easily. (I was especially amused by the CO's creative way of handling the limited palette at his disposal.) On to the Solution Checker, where I noted that since I last looked it had gained a green "?". Better hurry up and go for the FTF, it's still light, I can be there in under an hour...
Unfortunately I had failed to note the checker's helpful directions for the correct route to GZ, and arrived at the parking area with only the mapping in my phone, in a fine mist of rain and entirely the wrong clothes. However, I can now report that many fields in the vicinity of GZ contain extremely high-quality soil which adheres extremely well when mixed with a little moisture, and I have brought several pounds of it home with me. I don't think I followed anything like the CO's intended route there or back, so the mileage was greater than necessary, too.
However, on arrival at GZ I was pleased to find that the coords were accurate and within a couple of minutes I had a blank log in hand. I still don't understand the hint, but it didn't seem to be necessary.
Thanks (and a favourite) for a neatly nested puzzle (and some rather muddy exercise). |

... | RR146X | GLEEAH24 | RR146 - Stamp Out Crow | Found it | gillywig | Very slow to spot this one had been published. Once spotted the solution process was understood immediately and ... Oh so close! Knew what had to be done but, when first attempt stalled, became sidetracked. Much proving of what it couldn't be ensued but no solution. This was followed by a foxy-find. Well done Karen. A chance conversation subsequently led to the discovery of what should have been obvious from the start and soon the co-ordinates followed. So, as solved, it sat there waiting... More than one aborted attempt before "a what should I(Gr) do today" moment and " Oh go on then" After a speculative hunt for NaviCrow here I arrived. No gps, no notes, no sketch and no map! Just a vague recollection of a 'landmark' and so the search began. Much in and out, up and down and "it won't be there" before "I suppose it might be" preceded the well overgrown and surprising hide. A lovely stamp and a log signed before departing, and what do you know? Minutes later, after missing a turn, who should I drive past? ... the road running CO! Persuaded to detour to RR151 ... well that's another story. Thanks Ray for another great puzzle. Fav's running out, but how could this not be. |

No first in that regard, but not signing a blank log is a first. As not FTSolve the fates have decided no FTF(today). Thanks for the fun. Nicely hidden and quickly found (unaided and without making a hash of that bit) and it was funny(at the time). update10/6/2014 A puzzle which, not for the first time, I(Gr) made hard work of. Mathematically pleasing but with an error in the minutae a solution was closed in on. Only then did the easier way to solve present itself. After ReNavi-gating myself around TD came here again. This time with pen, pencil & camera. Pleased to see the nice clean log remained to be signed. TFTC left pencil! |

... | TMT06 | GLEDAE6W | Tolleshunt Major Tour 6 | Found it | rocketuk | The walk between 5 and 6 is quite tricky. I think that there is a footpath sign missing, and the path itself is very overgrown. Found the cache though! TFTC! |

£47? you were robbed!
For once (not often the case for Rally Rounds?) there's no doubt about what's required to solve this one, so not much need for tiptoeing around the spoilers. The problem is that there are 6,227,020,800 different routes from Crow to Crow - though knowing what to look for eliminates a few possibilities and reduces the number to under a million... However, although you can work out the first few steps and a few in the middle by simple logic, the number of possibilities to be tracked quickly explodes. So I did what any self-respecting software geekguru would do and wrote myself a little program. A bit of recursive descent with pruning later and within a minute or so it had churned out a recognisable row of digits (several, in fact, but the right one was clear).
A few hours later, after a pleasant drive (blue sky, rural vistas, fluffy clouds etc.) I found myself at a perfect cache-&-dash location, the kind where you can look at your surroundings, walk straight up to the obvious spot, put out your hand and there it is. So I did that, and there it wasn't. Cue several minutes of frantic ransacking and bold exploration of bushes, rusty things and depths. (Note for following seekers: if you feel tempted to put your hands in holes filled with dubious liquids, my advice would be, don't do it. You won't find anything and you will need to wash your hands very thoroughly afterwards.) At this point I wiped my hands, went back to the point of first approach, and there it was where it had been all along, hidden exactly like one I've seen somewhere else (that one took far too long to find, too. Isn't perception strange sometimes?) FTF duly logged.
Thanks to Mr Crow for a nice cache and the excuse for a pleasant outing after work.

05 Jun 2014 | RR117 | GLEE8Q71 | RR117 - I've Got A Trike | Found it | StratOman | Very nice puzzle which had me going for a while until the penny dropped. Nice easy find at GZ. TFTC |
... | RR117 | GLEE9Q7C | RR117 - I've Got A Trike | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Told our other member of the team, StratOman, some info on this a while ago but he thought I was barking up the wrong tree. Then he finally came round to the same way of thinking and solved this one whilst we were away. TFTC |
... | RR146X | GLEE8QPF | RR146 - Stamp Out Crow | Found it | StratOman | Puzzle had me going for a long time and even after solving it I still had some reservations. Wearing short trousers at GZ was not a good idea, but I am sure the stinging will die down eventually. Very nice little crow stamp .... TFTC

07 Jun 2014 | CN | GLEEREG1 | Crow's Nest | Found it | redders50 | Had heard about this cache from others, so though it was about time to visit it. And what a cache it was. Think the Geofairy might have visited recently because it was so neat and tidy inside!! Loads of Trackables to discover and geoson noticed one more that I didn't see straight away! Took one TB to move on. Signed the log. TFTC!! |
... | E101 | GLEERM4C | Essex 100 - 1/01 - Bus | Found it | redders50 | Found this one, using the hint, so was a nice quick find on our way home. Signed the log and replaced. TFTC!! |
... | RR103X | GLEGHVDM | RR103 - QRow | Found it | julietr4 | 2000 2000 We just had to solve a Rally Round to mark our 2000th find and this was the one using Blue Peter-esque methods. Took a lovely walk to GZ and spotted a likely hidey hole and thankfully there it was. Thanks to everyone who has helped us get this many finds. |
08 Jun 2014 | E212 | GLEF7ZN3 | Essex 100 - 2/12 - Topped | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 9/21. Had decided that this would be the last of the Essex 100 series 2 for me today and that I would make my way back to Tollesbury via a section of Essex 100 series 5. However, before leaving the coast behind, I had time for one last stunning view (photo added) and grabbed this one from a predictable hide. Will come back for the last loop another day. TFTC #970 |
... | E213 | GLEF7XJX | Essex 100 - 2/13 - Treet | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 8/21. Bumpy terrain on the way to this one suggested I might have been better taking the high road and staying on the sea wall, but once at GZ, my choice proved well made as I was in prime position for a quick find, once I could determine the correct angle of approach. I suggest getting low to the ground is best. TFTC #969 |
... | E214 | GLEF7W33 | Essex 100 - 2/14 - Trunked | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 7/21. Some fabulous fungus growing all over the 'trunk' of the cache name. Good hint meant that I didn't have to root around for too long. 'Log' safely signed and cache replaced. TFTC #968 |
... | E215 | GLEF7V47 | Essex 100 - 2/15 - Sidestep | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 6/21. On the way to this one along the sea wall, I encountered a lady in an all-terrain mobility scooter, who kindly recalled her alsatian to let me pass (I'm not great with dogs!). She reassured me that the dog was friendly and also told me that the tracks ahead had been mown by the farmers so were easily passable by bike, especially if her scooter could get through! A quick find at GZ with the cache name to help. TFTC #967 |
... | E216 | GLEF7P1Q | Essex 100 - 2/16 - Ironing | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 5/21. Climbed to the top of the sea wall and was greeted by the most beautiful view across the estuary which was as calm as a millpond, with one lone dinghy, outboard humming, making its way out onto the water. Soon found the cache and swapped my Oliver the Orca TB for a Steve McQueen Maker Tag. Fav point for bringing me here to enjoy this. TFTC #966 |
... | E217 | GLEF7GGT | Essex 100 - 2/17 - Vil-lain | Didn't find it | Peverel Blue | Rooted around for a fair few minutes, getting scratched and stung in the process but ultimately conceded defeat. This is not the right time of year to be looking for caches in hides like this, will need to come back in early spring. |
... | E218 | GLEF7GBB | Essex 100 - 2/18 - E-vil | Didn't find it | Peverel Blue | Rooted around for a fair few minutes, getting scratched and stung in the process but ultimately conceded defeat. This is not the right time of year to be looking for caches in hides like this, will need to come back in early spring. |

Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 4/21. Had a fair idea what to expect but went to the wrong location first. Clever little hide, took a few moments to spot it. TFTC #965 |
... | E220 | GLEF6Y16 | Essex 100 - 2/20 - Lopped | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 3/21. Didn't look promising at GZ with a lot of foliage and no obvious way in. Perseverance paid off and although tempted to give up when I read the previous DNF log, eventually got the cache in hand. Very pleased with this one. TFTC #964 |
... | E220A | GLEFCZ53 | Essex 100 - 2/20A - Concrete | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 19/21. Flummoxed momentarily at GZ but when the GPSr settled, a possible route through to a potential hide presented itself. Cache found quickly but with no lid. Contents still dry and in good condition. Replaced cache so as to protect it, but a visit from CO needed. Giving a fav point here as this was my last Essex 100 cache of today and I had thoroughly enjoyed my ride. Thanks, Ray! TFTC #980 |
... | E220A | GLEFCZC9 | Essex 100 - 2/20A - Concrete | Needs Maintenance | Peverel Blue | Lid missing from cache container. |
... | E220B | GLEFCXCZ | Essex 100 - 2/20B - Crossing | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 18/21. Really dense undergrowth around the 'crossing' itself, but made my way to GZ for a quick find as cache was visible. Did my best to hide more securely after signing, then ploughed off through the tall grass. TFTC #979 |
... | E220C | GLEFCT42 | Essex 100 - 2/20C - Decay | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 17/21. Back on to the Series 2 caches for this little spur to complete my loop. Terrain a bit tougher for the bike in this section, and no easier at GZ where a leap of faith was needed to get to the likely hide identified on approach. Luckily, my instincts were correct, but I did slip on the way back. No harm done. TFTC #978 |
... | E221 | GLEF6TX3 | Essex 100 - 2/21 - UnDitched | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 2/21. Off and running now after a DNF at 2/22. Found a way in and soon located the hide. Dropped off my Traveller Steam Engine TB and picked up a London Bus TB - seemed a fair swap. TFTC #963 |
... | E222 | GLEF6R8C | Essex 100 - 2/22 - Gorge-ous | Didn't find it | Peverel Blue | Not happy at starting off with a DNF but the bridge was totally overgrown. Despite somehow getting myself into the ditch, I couldn't turn or really see anything, so gave up and got out. |
... | E539 | GLEFCQG7 | Essex 100 - 5/39 - White | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 16/21. This one was just off my route but near enough for a small detour. Sent fearful rabbits scattering frantically ahead of me as I approached, but once at GZ, the hide was quickly spotted. Perfect place for a cache. TFTC #977 |
... | E540 | GLEFCP2W | Essex 100 - 5/40 - Pheasant | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 15/21. Nice to get in the shade for a few moments. Spotted the hide very quickly, SL and replaced. TFTC #976 |
... | E541 | GLEFAE0M | Essex 100 - 5/41 - Pipe | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 14/21. Things didn't look good here at all, at first, with nettles and undergrowth obscuring any clues that might have been visible. Had to work hard just to find the pipe let alone the cache, and feared that I would be facing a DNF in a similar hide to those earlier in the walk. However, angling my head just right allowed me to spot the cache. Quite tricky getting it out of the bag, but SL and replaced safely, although the weeds might take some time to recover! TFTC #975 |
... | E542 | GLEFABEF | Essex 100 - 5/42 - Wycke | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 13/21. Discouraged by the wall of foliage at GZ until I spotted a way to get in behind. Once there, it was a quick find as I've seen these Crow creations before. Lots of flies about now and the sun getting hotter as it gets higher in the sky. TFTC #974 |
... | E543 | GLEFA9HG | Essex 100 - 5/43 - Eyelet | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude. Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 12/21. Met a lady with an excitable puppy near this one, which she kindly held and encouraged me to pass. Had to pretend to be confusedly reading a map until she'd gone so that I could stop and search. Quick find once the plants had been brushed aside. Another photo added of the view from here.

Managed 21 caches in total, with 3 DNFs, starting and finishing with a Church Micro, and saw some wonderful wildlife en route, including countless baby rabbits, finches, pheasant, geese and a majestic heron. It was a lovely circuit and a great time of day to be out and about. 11/21. Followed the path around the corner and soon spotted the hinted item. Have found a few in hides like this before. Just time for a quick top-up of fluids before heading across the fields. Great views again from here (photo added). TFTC #972 |
... | E545 | GLEF9FEC | Essex 100 - 5/45 - Banked | Found it | Peverel Blue | With the weather forecast looking promising, decided to get up early (5:30am), take the bike out to the east and pick up some Essex 100 caches near the coast in glorious tranquil solitude.

13 Jun 2014 | E534 | GLEGWXGZ | Essex 100 - 5/34 - Rural | Found it | Bracken43 | Arrived at nearby motorhome site and decided to have a wander before our dinner. It was a good decision by Mr B43 to take a stick and thick leather gloves as this turned out to be more a exercise in forensically examining the scenes for previous disturbance then hacking some of the nettles to allow a search, followed by donning the gloves and in. Thank goodness we followed Mr Crows maintenance as we could see the tell tale trails which helped! TFTC |
... | E535 | GLEGWXYB | Essex 100 - 5/35 - South | Found it | Bracken43 | Mr B43 is very good at jumping in, rummaging and finding - it's the jumping out where old age shows. Much grunting here! |
... | E536 | GLEGWZA2 | Essex 100 - 5/36 - Newbridge | Found it | Bracken43 | It seemed fairly obvious where it might be, and although the general location was correct, I looked in many nooks and crannies with no result. About to give up ( perish the thought) when I saw something that didn't quite fit. Had a peek and there it was. Many stingers around. |
... | E537 | GLEGWZAE | Essex 100 - 5/37 - Giant | Found it | Bracken43 | A relatively quick find compared with our struggles at the others. It is a beautiful warm evening so we are enjoying the stroll |
... | E538 | GLEGWZ07 | Essex 100 - 5/38 - Crumble | Found it | Bracken43 | Mr B43 was determined to find this, despite going down the wrong rabbit hole at first he bravely carried on, his determination paid off but the price paid was high - nettled arms and legs, scratches to arms and a cut head. The cache was safely bagged however, I took the lucky shamrock as it was Friday the 13th and left a pencil TFTC |
... | RR006X | GLEN7JEE | RR006 - Totham Triangle 2 | Found it | Team_Awesome2012 | After months of headaches and stress, and wasted "work" hours from solving the Rally Rounds, Daemonic and I finally had a whole day available where we were both in the same county that we could utilise to try and set a Rally Round record. With 99 rally rounds solved (104 if we include the archived leg-abilities) we had planned to find them all. Sadly it didnt go to plan. After a delayed start, we were then held up by an accident en route, and forced to take a detour. We took the oppurtunity to grab a few caches once we made it, but decided to save the solved puzzles to attempt the record another day.
In hindsight, perhaps Friday the 13th was not the best day for an undertaking as large as this. In anycase, we shall return at a later date for another attempt.

With 99 rally rounds solved (104 if we include the archived leg-abilities) we had planned to find them all. Sadly it didnt go to plan. After a delayed start, we were then held up by an accident en route, and forced to take a detour. We took the oppurtunity to grab a few caches once we made it, but decided to save the solved puzzles to attempt the record another day.

15 Jun 2014 | 1111-2 | GLEHC2YD | 11-1-11 (Stairs) | Found it | RachelnRedd | On the way to the GeoCoffee Club at Rivenhall this morning, had to pass here so seemed rude not to stop. Was a very quick find thanks to meeting Beastmarsta up the road at the last cache who gave me a little nudge in the right direction . Great place! Cache in very good condition, log nice and dry. Nice to grab a straightforward Crow cache - thank you for placing. |
... | 1111-2 | GLEHMV1R | 11-1-11 (Stairs) | Found it | greysman | After the nearby Coffee-Meet thought I'd clear off one or two outstanding locals. Chose this one as it was on my way home. Spent some time looking around 'my' GZ but as it was in the middle of the road the 'real' GZ had to be somewhere else. As I hadn't solved the anagram it was a bit of a hit-and-miss thing but persistence paid off and the cache was found, obvious really! Both my GPSr units showed an offset of 60ft at the true GZ.
Logging my Scenic Traveller TB in & out.
TFTC and I'll be back for 1-11-11 some day.

... | E117 | GLEHEGNG | Essex 100 - 1/17 - Grass | Didn't find it | Squidge007 & Co | Sadly we couldn't find this one. There was a lot of long grass here so after spending about ten minutes looking we gave up. |
... | E117 | GLEHEGQ2 | Essex 100 - 1/17 - Grass | Didn't find it | hollyberry2000 &clan | Spent ages looking for this to no avail. Clue of little help when early summer growth leaves grass at waist height in the area of GZ. Akin to saying the needle is in the haystack. |

... | RR018 | GLEHK05X | RR018 - Sheepcoates | Found it | jollyquest | Mrs J solved this easy puzzle a long while ago. The title is appropriate, as we saw 32 sheep coats in the field next to the cache final. TFTC |
... | RR019X | GLEHKAP7 | RR019 - Spickets Wood | Found it | jollyquest | Solved last year. Originally tried an elaborate technique to get a solution. In the end the solution was simpler. Found today. Our coords were 12m out but found using the excellent hint. TFTC |
... | RR020 | GLEHK34W | RR020 - Sains Approach | Found it | jollyquest | Not an easy puzzle at first - spent a while trying to convert British Grid but no sites would accept decimals. Easy once anagram was solved. But then GZ checker rejected our solution. Still convinced we were right and so it proved as we found the cache only 8m from our solution coords. TFTC |
... | RR063 | GLEHJYKV | RR063 - Off Set | Found it | jollyquest | Solved 24/8/13, but only visited today. Quickly found at the GZ. TFTC |

... | RR130 | GLEHK8HQ | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Found it | jollyquest | Solved on first attempt on 29/10/13 (17 attempts in total). We were about to give up the search when suddenly the hint made sense and we had the cache in hand. TFTC |
... | RR156 | GLEHFAP1 | RR156 - Krowpki | Found it | jollyquest | FTF # 56 We were already planning a long overdue trip to Crow Country when this new cache popped up. The puzzle is of a type we enjoy regularly so after a few minor mistakes we managed to fill the grid with sensible numbers. We are chuffed to have got our 5th FTF on the excellent Rally Round puzzles. Then went on to find 7 other RR’s that were waiting to be logged.

16 Jun 2014 | RR060 | GLEHX1M6 | RR060 - Crow-No-Logical | Found it | StratOman | This puzzle has been on the "to do" pile for a long time. Finally got the anagram but still struggled to get the numbers. The agony continued on the find when Deebooted couldn't find the right footpath. But eventually after several skirmishes with the locals and a horse, we headed for GZ. TFTC |
... | RR060 | GLEHX9HJ | RR060 - Crow-No-Logical | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Had ideas of what this may entail right from the start but was barking up the wrong beak! Whilst we were away on holiday StratOman had a light bulb moment and here we were today trying to find the little blighter! After a few attempts and failing miserably we finally found the way into the footpath and as they say the rest is history. TFTC |
... | RR097 | GLEHX4G0 | RR097 - Cacher's Path | Found it | StratOman | I was trying a certain analysis on RR144 Oinkment and failing miserably, when I hit on the idea of trying it on the two chefs. To my amazement out popped the coordinates !!! Still can't see the relevance of the title but hey, what do I know. Nice easy find at GZ TFTC This entry was edited by StratOman on Monday, 16 June 2014 at 19:24:09 UTC. |
... | RR097 | GLEHXAQV | RR097 - Cacher's Path | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Positive. Negative. Nothing. Forget and move on. StratOman by chance managed to solve it. Easy find at GZ Hurrah! TFTC |
... | RR101X | GLEHXCY3 | RR101 - You've Been Framed | Found it | StratOman | This puzzle has been driving me mad for months, so easy yet so hard. Just not thinking laterally enough... A definite favourite for winding me up for so long. TFTC |
... | RR101X | GLEHXJ36 | RR101 - You've Been Framed | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Learnt a lot about scoring in bowling along the way, I don't think! This was a nightmare sending us off course down the alley many times before we had a strike good enough. Easy find at GZ today. TFTC |
... | RR145 | GLEHTJVF | RR145 - GT86 (2) | Write note | Mr Crow | A couple of 'A' team cachers dropped by to say the cache was missing. It helps if you've transcribed the co-ordinates correctly! |
... | RR145 | GLEHXMD4 | RR145 - GT86 (2) | Found it | StratOman | Thank you Ray for republishing this cache and giving us a much needed hint. So easy when the penny finally dropped. After spending about 45 minutes at GZ searching a lovely old vine covered tree, we realised something was badly wrong. A visit to Mr Crow revealed we were about 50 yards from GZ. It does help if you tell your caching partner the right coordinates. Brilliant hide once we got to the right place. Not only a FTF but also my 300th cache Yet another favourite for puzzle and hide. TFTC |
... | RR145 | GLEHXXXY | RR145 - GT86 (2) | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Known the car for a while, known the owner for more years than I care to admit! StratOman had a light bulb moment upon the creation of Mark 2 of this cache and off he went to solve it. Trouble was today he had given me the wrong co ords for my map so when we got there, spent nearly an hour searching for a FTF and his 300th cache, we were in despair. Off to tell Mr Crow it wasn't there! That's when he realised he had passed over the wrong co ords after he sought it out in his folder! We then went to the correct location and there it was. A very clever hide indeed and another favourite. TFTC

At the hide we just couldn't find the cache and gave up, but returned for another search on our way home. Thanks to the hawk-eyes of Deebooted we finally had the cache in hand. Brilliant puzzle and equally brilliant hide. A definite favourite. TFTC |
... | RR155 | GLEHXQQR | RR155 - Travelling Cacher Problem | Found it | deebooted & ATM | This came out during our holiday so we left StratOmanwith the worry and went off to enjoy ourselves. by the time we had returned he had the co ords. Super. Today, however, things did not go well and we missed it the first search and had to go back again! There it was hiding very well. A favourite for it's clever position. TFTC |

... | E216 | GLEJ1ZGC | Essex 100 - 2/16 - Ironing | Found it | Black Five | Return visit to the area to do some more coastal walking this time Tollesbury to Osea. Picked up some caches on the way but missed out a few away from the footpath as the recent rain had made the long grass soaking wet.The first stretch was very overgrown but fortunately the farmer had strimmed further up making it more pleasant. This one found no problem. Picked up the TN SL TFTC |
... | RR139 | GLFPJ1R9 | RR139 - Carrion Caching | Found it | Doggywalker | Out tonight on this lovely evening as Mr Crow 'navicrowed' me round the villages so as we passed this one he so very kindly allowed me to log it. |
... | RR224X | GLGFQCK7 | RR224 - Tolleshunt Major 30 mph (NaviCrow) | Found it | Doggywalker | Sorry for the late log.
After three failed attempts with O2 on Android I was invited by Mr Crow who had his technology and very graciously guided me round the lovely circuit on a warm sunny evening visiting interesting places.
Its always better to go with someone in the 'know' of the area as I didn't spend all the time with my nose in the phone and could look round.
Thank you for accompanying me and a favourite point for giving up your time. |

19 Jun 2014 | RR156 | GLEJNN4M | RR156 - Krowpki | Found it | Denbymist | I don't normally go caching this time of week, but solving a Mr.Crow puzzle always gives me a buzz, and I try to find the cache as soon as possible. This cache took me down a road that I used to use nearly every night in the late 60's and early 70's, so brought back memories as well, could not resist taking a peek at the place I used to visit. But back to the cache. I found the puzzle enjoyable, and was surprised when I entered the solution into the checker and got an incorrect. I checked my answers and spotted a mistake, and was lucky it was not too difficult to correct. I entered again, and got my confirmation I was correct. I drove to a parking place near to the cache site after work, and a short walk took me to GZ. I soon spotted a likely location for a cache, and was rewarded with a find. I signed the log and replaced. Thank-you for another puzzle of the kind I like, and a favourite point from me. |

21 Jun 2014 | CN | GLEK93JT | Crow's Nest | Found it | RachelnRedd | Wow, what a great cache in a great location. Drove along these lovely country lanes on a beautiful morning, so quiet and peaceful around here. Loved the cache guardian, and soon was admiring the lovely treasure within. Discovered some of the TBs, took 2 trackables and left a Stonehenge geo coin which I thought was quite appropriate given the date The CO appeared just as I was about to venture into the world of chirping, good to see you Ray But unfortunately I couldn't get the technology to work, so was given a hint in the right direction (well, more than a hint!) so I could get the bonus too. Many thanks for setting this cache, a great one. I took a little plastic dog which looks like Rio, and left a character pencil sharpener and pink dinosaur pencil topper. Thanks for setting this and for bringing me to this lovely location. Would award a fav point if I had one! |
... | CN | GLEKC9EY | Crow's Nest | Write note | Mr Crow | Checked the chirp this evening and the battery's died after three years of use. Can't complain at that. So ... not Rachel's fault or her technology's.
New battery installed and now re-chirping. |
... | CNB | GLEK971R | Crow's Nest (Bonus) | Found it | RachelnRedd | Unfortunately my technology didn't seem to want to pick up the chirping crow. So Mr Crow himself obligingly cheeped the location , and I hot-footed it along for a quick find. Lovely location. Now off to my parents' house in Great Totahm to take my mum to the open gardens. But there is another cache quite close by - time for just one more....? Many thanks for placing this cache. |

The same thing happened to us, only when I switched mine off did Ray's mobile get to work on only one bar. So one can only use one phone at a time. |

24 Jun 2014 | CM848 | GLEMG4ZX | Church Micro 848 - All Saints, Great Braxted | Found it | Peverel Blue | Needed one for the calendar tonight, so set off for Braxted after the disappointing England game to pick up another CM and kick start my second thousand caches. Parked at the end of the tree-lined avenue and walked down to the pretty church. Lots of places to look for clues and I suspected that Mr Crow would not make it too easy, so a good deal of searching was needed, which just made it all the more fun to find one. Still missing one clue at the end, but thought I could get close enough to GZ without it. First guess proved fruitless but raised the number by one, which led to a more suitable location and the cache was soon in hand. SL and replaced as found. TFTC #1001 CM #103 |

... | RR114X | GLEMKWXD | Rally Round 114 aka +|- | Write note | Mr Crow | With a possible hypothecated visit to come I jogged out to check the cache was well. At GZ there was a litter collection contractor with work in progress. The area does occasionally attract litter and I hope the cache hasn't been vacuumed up. My check will have to wait until next time. |

... | E534 | GLEN3RYV | Essex 100 - 5/34 - Rural | Didn't find it | RachelnRedd | More of a "did not attempt" than a DNF, I'm afraid I wimped out here. No bonus point for me . Will return - maybe in winter |
... | E535 | GLEN3R2P | Essex 100 - 5/35 - South | Found it | RachelnRedd | The second one on this route for today, with Purdy the golden retriever who was quite alarmed when I dived in the hedge here. Luckily ducked around the hawthorn, and spotted the pot when I turned round. Camo bag quite chewed, but pot clean and dry. Signed and returned, TNLN. Thanks for a lovely walk this afternoon and for the cache. Photo uploaded. |
... | E536 | GLEN3Q0X | Essex 100 - 5/36 - Newbridge | Found it | RachelnRedd | On a mission to take my parents' dog for a walk; this looked like a nice route not too far from their house. I have found a lot of the Essex 100 caches but not these particular ones, so a nice afternoon for a walk, and off we went. I had read all the warnings about overgrowth and undergrowth, but luckily this really wasn't too bad as I approached from the other side, and soon spotted the "hay-o-flage". Nice little pot, everything dry and in order, quick sign and return. Now the dog was covered in bobby's buttons so tried to pick some off her, and on to the next. Thanks for the cache, another one ticked off. |
... | E548 | GLEN8XN4 | Essex 100 - 5/48 - Joyce's | Found it | Bracken43 | This one took much longer than it should have. Mr B43 had a bramble bush stuck in his head, dirty knees and nettled hands. We were about to give up when Mr B43 then looked over to the other side and immediately spotted the cache! TFTC |
28 Jun 2014 | E101 | GLENDZM6 | Essex 100 - 1/01 - Bus | Found it | Bracken43 | Last cache of the day, rain has finally eased off and we are squelching back to the motorhome TFTC |

... | RR224X | GLEP8MX3 | RR224 - Tolleshunt Major 30 mph (NaviCrow) | Found it | greysman | Second attempt, this time with a fully charged 'phone. Still took some time to get going but once up and running all went well - until I got to #6 when I needed to see just how far I was away from GZ. So I pressed the back arrow...and lost everything . Should have kept the cache page alive as then I wouldn't have had to wait another 15min or so back at the start getting going again. Once up and running again the clues fell into place extremely easily and the finish came up after only 20min or so. One final hurdle was the large pile of dog pooh not cleared up right where I parked my bike and guess who didn't see it, that's right, YT. Thanks for an enjoyable evening out, Ray, even if I messed things up a bit. A Fav Point . Logging my Scenic Traveller TB and my Time and Space Geocoin in and out. TFTC |
01 Jul 2014 | RR032 | GLEPB8QG | RR032 - Quite Near Olive | Found it | HollynCharlie | With it being the 1st of the month we thought we would try for a puzzle a day again as if nothing else it gives us a break from all things mega that seem to have taken over our lives at the moment and come full time jobs. We have a few solved from a while back and this was one of them, I admit I needed some guidance on this one but thankfully with a little bit of help and a few swerve balls i was on track and had some co-ords. This morning Jen and the doggies went for a nice erly morning walk to GZ and was pleased with a nice quick find here. TFTC Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |

... | RR052X | GLER287X | RR052 - Keep Smiling | Found it | the_fullers | I can't say for sure how much time I sat looking at those smilies but each time I did I was sure they were like techno-vampires, bleeding the happiness from me as I failed each time. Finally after many attempts I made some progress and things were looking .... oh that's not right either and there it sat in the pile once more. I looked at this puzzle a few weeks back and suddenly there was that "what if ..." and suddenly there was progress, took a little time but numbers came. Shortly after, the Mr Crow checker confirmed all was good and the smiles returned Was not aiming for this cache today but after a number of failures (and not of the DNF variety) we ended up passing. From memory we approached GZ but the cache was nowhere to be seen so we widened the search only to find the cache on the floor some distance GZ. Cache and log all in good order. SL. Replaced where assumed it would be hidden (CO advised). TFTC. |

... | RR033X | GLEV3ZTX | RR033 - Quite Path-etic | Found it | the_fullers | Having attempted this cache last weekend we seemly lost the footpath and with a techno issue had no map to follow and soon found ourselves following any route back. Having re-reviewed the footpath route at home soon realised where we had been unable to follow the correct route and got thrown off course. Planning a return I took every measure possible to ensure we would not suffer the same fate, with plenty of offline maps ready and waiting The walk to GZ is simple enough if you know where you are going, parts fairly unmarked but got there quickly enough given the pre-planning. At GZ a quick and easy find. SL. TFTC. |

Then a 'Oh! that's interesting' moment lifted the gloom and soon a small holding of possibles appeared. Honing in on the correct one seemed easy and in one respect it was. In another respect a virtual nightmare, eventually resolved with a vauge recollection and a bit of luck. FTF? no chance. Mind you you'd a thought some people would have better things to do Sunday morning . Nevertheless a STF will surffice. (apols for the tardy logging.) Another good cache which renewed the faith as much failing of late. Always pleased to find a Rally Round, thanks Ray. |

... | RR030 | GLEVEKAM | RR030 - Du Cane | Found it | jollyquest | Mrs J solved the puzzle last August. We were in the area today to log some more recent Rally Rounds. It was a tough walk to the cache. First the official FP was overgrown with nettle and bramble. When we made it through that into the wood, we then lost the path. The GPS go us to the cache for a quick find. On the return journey we followed the FP to start with, then popped into the field to avoid the vegetation, and returned to the Du Cane across a corrugated bridge we had spotted on the route out.

15 Jul 2014 | RR003X | GLEVY8YN | RR003 - Herringbone | Found it | the_fullers | With such nice weather Mrs_Fuller and I decided that an evening walk would be in order after my return home from work. We decided to see if we could strike off a Mr Crow cache or two and during my review of the map decided that this would be ideal. I looked at the puzzle some time ago and speculatively placed a marker on the map but never got validated numbers. Mrs_Fuller re-reviewed the puzzled much more recently and came to a different conclusion but the Mr Crow Checker would not pass those numbers either. Whilst on the train home, I took another look at the puzzle and came to a different conclusion to Mrs_Fuller and on arrival at Fuller_HQ shared my findings. A better look on the big screen and we came to a new location very close to the original speculative pin Mr Crow said no so we said go We spotted a nice location where we could easily park our rather large GeoBus, allowing for a longer walk to GZ. What a most pleasant evening wonder it was too We arrived at the location derived earlier and at the same time Mrs_Fuller and I pointed at an obvious location whereby ImpBoy retrieved the cache SL.

... | RR145 | GLEVQ58E | RR145 - GT86 (2) | Found it | gillywig | The previous in CARnation drove me mad. What was the way in? It didn't help that I couldn't count. Finally a moment of lucidity and the ammended hint unlocked this very clever puzzle. Today, after posting a over-confident note, there was much egg on face. Pacing led to an odd position so eventually widened the search. After a while and a bit of hedera removal, still nothing. Only one thing to do, confess my inadequacies and reconsider. Pleased to report that after a wonderful and much needed refresment, together with a dash of laughing a my expense, a return to inspect more closely revealed the well hidden cache. SL TFTC A favourite. (how could it not be?) |
17 Jul 2014 | RR064 | GLEY5826 | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | julietr4 | Grabbed this one after a lovely evening crabbing at Tollesbury. Another puzzle solved with our new found technology skills. TFTC and puzzle. # 2057 |
... | RR225X | GLEWBPQ3 | RR225 - Tolleshunt D'Arcy 30mph (NaviCrow) | Found it | greysman | Hadn't really intended to go for this this pm but as I was passing after the bell practice at Tollesbury and there was still some light left I thought I'd give it a go - for the third time.
Parked in the church car park - I know - and set off, having already logged on and got the first stop details up whilst in Tollesbury. I'd got past #1 previously so it was a quick find. Now the second stop; last time I got here and my 'phone stopped doing what it should have been doing and I gave up after trying to get some sense from O2's data after about 15min, but all was well and on to #3..and #4...and...on to the end. An easy find once there which was at 2150 having started at about 2125, not bad on shanks's.
A good walk round the village in the relative cool of the evening, but doing it blind using the compass only and a couple of dots on the map made it extra interesting. The map refused to load up at all.

... | RR036 | GLF0T2YZ | RR036 - °De | Found it | We do checks and cache | The last of this mini series to be solved with some grateful assistance from the cache owner. Decent walk along a familiar path to gz where after a short search the tucked away ache was found. |
... | RR037XX | GLF0T1D2 | RR037 - °Rø | Found it | We do checks and cache | Another in the short series where we followed the methos used in the others. Took the wong route to gz where the cache was soon located and then followed the correct footpath back to the parking. |
... | RR064 | GLF0T1B2 | RR064 - °Ré | Found it | We do checks and cache | Knew what was required to solve the puzzle and after a bit of trial and error we got the number required. We did not chose the safest of places to park but we had a short walk to gz where the cache was soon found. |
... | RR065 | GLF0T1BC | RR065 - °R | Found it | We do checks and cache | Following the pattern of others in this small group we soon worked out the difference and then how to get the numbers. No problem in locating the cache. |

... | RR102 | GLF0T1C6 | RR102 - Julian, Greg or Ian? | Found it | We do checks and cache | A bit of a giveaway on the cache page and then onto the calulation. Failed to locate the cache on a last visit to the area. Arrived at gz and the gpsr too us to the opposite side where we laid our hand on the cache immediately. |
... | RR103X | GLF0T182 | RR103 - QRow | Found it | We do checks and cache | Worked out what was required pretty quickly and then after some careful work we got to the point to obaain the coords. Worked first time. Good walk to gz where the cache was soon found. |
... | RR109X | GLF0T17R | RR109 - When I'm 64 ... | Didn't find it | We do checks and cache | Familiar as we are with a lot of the back catoalogue of the fab four working out how to solve the puzzle took us some time. After several attempts we worked out the code and soon had a solution. In the area to do a few RR's this was the first of the day.parked up and a good weaving walk to gz where after a hefty searcjh we failed to find the cache. |
... | RR112 | GLF0T8BF | RR112 - ?s about ?s | Found it | We do checks and cache | A nice straightforward puzzle. A good sturdy walk to gz. A not so easy hide. |
... | RR118 | GLF0T19G | RR118 - Board Game 5 | Found it | We do checks and cache | An unsual one in the board game sub series, in that we solved it within an hour compared with the other that we have managed to solve. Pretty quick find once we got to gz. |
... | RR119X | GLF0T1CJ | Rally Round 119 aka Kasan Kurosu | Found it | We do checks and cache | A few of these puzzle done over the caching years. A walk along another familiar path to gz where the hide, today in the sahdow of one very large peice of farm machinery, was soon spotted. |
... | RR122 | GLF0T1BV | RR122 - Internet Mad | Didn't find it | We do checks and cache | We didn't have these sorts of number when we did this sort of calculation in maths at school. Once we complete dthe first one we saw what the patterns was going to be. Parked up and a walk in a familar caching spot. Th eonly rain of the day as we walked to gz. Banged around between locations, favouring a couple but could not find the cache. |
... | RR124X | GLF0T8CK | RR124 - Five Diamonds 1 | Found it | We do checks and cache | After looking at the cards for some time the code revealed itself and we had an answer. Long walk from the parking spot along a narrow avenue. Arived at gz and soon spotted the hide. |
... | RR134X | GLF0T18F | RR134 - Endeavour | Found it | We do checks and cache | Solved after lunch on christmas day. There's method in the apparent nonsence of the text all the clues on the cache pages fall nicely into place to enable us to work through to get a solution. Nice hiding place even though we started on the wrong side of the hedge. |
... | RR136 | GLF0T18W | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | We do checks and cache | This puzzle didn't pose any problem having recently solved a whole bunch in the big fish series on the south coast. Passed by a group of cyclists as we reached our parking spot for gz. Short walk to gz where the cache was soon located. |
... | RR137 | GLF0T8B1 | RR137 - >MMM | Found it | We do checks and cache | The these behind the puzzle was clear from the outset. Acquired the information and then put it all together to end up with a wrong answer. We checked what we had, defintely what was required. Another failure. Did a bit more searching and found some new information. Played around ith this and finally got the correct answer. Good fun at gz. Soon loated the cache and then took some time to sign the log. |
... | RR138 | GLEXC215 | RR138 - 404 Found | Found it | the_fullers | First time I looked at this one I knew what would be required, just lacked the time so placed it in the "solution known, unresolved" pile. Mrs_Fuller came across the puzzle a week or so later and asked what I knew, so having outline my theory she asked "how do you do that then?" Some quick guidance and education and she soon had things falling into place. A review of the numbers at the GZ Checker confirmed we were correct and the coordinates were placed in the solved bucket. A nice evening for a short wonder so we decided to head along to this one. We had to pass by GZ as too many dog walking muggles but this allowed to loop back a while later. 101 ... 200 ... 300 ... 406 ... 417 ... 418 ... 302 ... 101 SL. TFTC |
... | RR139 | GLF0T1AB | RR139 - Carrion Caching | Found it | We do checks and cache | When we looked at this several months ago he first thought turned out to be wrong. Another look a couple fo days ago and we had a hunch, made a rough calc and then searched out what was needed. A wrong selection to begin with gave us the right magnitutude but the wrong number. More careful consideration got us the answer required. Locating the cache was much more straightforward. |

Spent ages searching for this one without the clue but to no avail. Eventually had to sit down and puzzle out the anagram (not my speciality). Once I had the clue the find was easy and I realised that it had been right above where I was searching before but I had somehow managed to miss it. Thanks for a great cache and puzzle. |
... | RR019X | GLEYAE24 | RR019 - Spickets Wood | Found it | suprisefish | My initial thoughts on this puzzle turned out to be wrong but after solving the hint the solution came quickly. Following the previous cacher's advice I navigated to the point 12m away from the coords and quickly spotted the cache out in the open. The bag was split inside but everything still dry. Hadn't solved the clue so wasn't sure where the cache was meant to be. Rehid at base of large tree but CO might want to come and have a look. Still, a lovely area for a cache and a nice puzzle.

A hang up on the person depicted in RR152 led in completely the wrong direction. Even so, an initial vital discovery was made very quickly indeed. The breakthrough came via an interesting and very informative development to the COs related statistics pages. Most useful in other ways , but particularly so here. After picking up a couple of other Rally Rounds in the proximity, I called in on the CO at home. Soon pleasant refreshment was dispensed. After a brief chat, in which I mentioned I had this to collect, I sensed a need on the behalf of the owner to get out and exercise. A quick plan was hatched. Park nearby, include this in a few maintenance visits and then the owner would return to his nest unaccompanied on foot. We arrived at gz and I was pleased to have company. Whether I would have found it alone I don’t know because the area had been disturbed. Luckily knowing what to look for helped and widening the search led to the find. Checked, signed (with a pen also found nearby thankfully) and returned as per hint. Thanks Ray for another caching masterpiece. |

I'm tempted to add some purple prose about the beauty of the countryside around here on a fine summer evening, but it's evoked far better than anything I can write by another native of these parts in "The Beckoning Lady". I solved this one almost as soon as it appeared - the puzzle held no terrors for a Great Computational Fiend - and some numbers rapidly emerged (only pencil and paper required, honest) so I was slightly surprised not to see any new log entries even a day later. So I sallied out towards the Far East... The only problem for foreigners venturing into Crow territory is the scarcity of safe parking spaces on all those twisty little country roads, so I had a quite lengthy (but very pleasant - see purple prose above) evening stroll to GZ, where the cache was soon in hand.

... | RR163 | GLEYGPZR | RR163 - Routemaster | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman informed me of this cache yesterday morning. I took a look and thought "that's right up my street" So in 20 minutes I had solved the navigation and was ready for part two? Oh how I underestimated that bit with the checker saying no so many times I lost count. So much for my initial thoughts of not actually involving StratOman, the third member of our puzzle solving team. I had to explain everything and ask for his assistance. We had not done it by bed time at 2.00am but this morning whilst I had popped out he had managed to get it right with the checker. So a visit to Mr Crow country seemed the order of the afternoon to pick this one up along with a few others. Success, found quickly at GZ. TFTC and a favourite point from us. The fastest one I have solved for a long time!

... | RR163 | GLEYKWBK | RR163 - Routemaster | Found it | StratOman | As soon as I saw the title "Routemaster" I knew I was redundant. Deebooted & ATM soon had the puzzle solved but couldn't get the final coordinates. I was called to check the final calculation after a crash course in map reading Done the last part using Google Earth and got the green light. Off to Crowland today to try for FTF for Deebooted & ATM, they having done all the work. Delighted to find a clean log .... Well done you two ,, TFTC |
25 Jul 2014 | RR140X | GLEYWP9Y | RR140 - Posthall Collection | Found it | The Avenue Two | I was in the area after collecting RR161 and RR165 so detoured here for a quick find. TFTC. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR144 | GLEYWT9Q | RR144 - Oinkment | Found it | The Avenue Two | I was too late getting to RR165 as log already signed, so decided to pick up remaining three on my way home. Thanks for puzzle and very appropriate container. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR157 | GLEYTZW6 | RR157 - Proximity Rules | Found it | Denbymist | Solved this a while back, but was not able to go caching last weekend, so had to wait til to-day before I had the chance to get out. Another great puzzle that I enjoyed solving. I arrived at GZ and it was not long before I found the container. I signed the log and left a pathtag. TFTC. |
... | RR161 | GLEYVW3D | RR161 - /ˈduËmzdeɪ/ | Found it | The Avenue Two | Looked at this while waiting for a electrician and soon had a nice plot. Had not known about these interesting facts. TFTC. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR162X | GLEZ1N98 | RR162 - Good Clean Fun? | Found it | gillywig | I had computational failure preceded by mathematical aberration. A good courteous friendly nudge and all was clear. Now, how can fun be clean when searching after a downpour? Pacing along passing a good calibration fixture and then on the remaining twenty or so. No immediate nor obvious hiding place. So got a little wet before looking the other side and got a little dirty. Still no find. Hummm co-ords failure or poor pacing? Getting considerably frustrated to say nothing of considerably wetter, widened search and spotted a good Crow feature and soon had the gleaming cache firmly in wet and dirty hands. Signed (remembered pen) below grinning buddha. Congratulations on ftf. Another great puzzle which should have been solved sooner. Great Caching Fun. |
... | RR164 | GLEYTXD5 | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | Denbymist | FTF I had not planned to have this afternoon off work, but they say things happen for a reason. I just could not believe the e-mail I read at just gone 2pm informing me a cache has been released nearby. And it gets better, it was a Mr.Crow puzzle that I knew I could solve. Checker agreed, and I got ready to go, only problem was, the boiler man was still here. Eventually, the boiler was serviced and the man left. I don't normally go caching in the rain, but the thought of a first to find was to great to wait. The only thing I had to worry about now was the field puzzle. I arrived at GZ, a brilliant container, well done Kitty, and I soon solved the puzzle. It was a nice blank log sheet, so it was worth getting wet. I signed the log, and swapped pathtags. TFTC, and a definite favourite point from me. |
... | RR164 | GLEYWTQG | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | gillywig | 2nd TF Well done Denbymist on the ftf. Knew what to look for here and it was wonderfully positioned. Despite running out of fav points this has to have one, lovely. SL @17:00 TFTC. |
... | RR165 | GLEYVNGD | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | The Avenue Two | Second to find. Well done Gillywig. Nice puzzle. TFTC. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR165 | GLEYWPKC | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | gillywig | FTF How do you get geocaching.com to send you an SMS when a Rally Round is published? Wasted at least an hour before noticed the recent RR pair. No problem mast-ering this one, so made notes and re-looked at RR164. Pleased to say that didn't take too long to resolve. Ok, what about finding Good Clean Fun? and that unresolved field puzzle. Hummm better make notes. Eventually set out and still managed to miss the turning. After a RR159 re-visit finally arrived @ 16:45. Found with the aid of the cool, nay groovy clue and a blank log. phew. I Perhaps should have gone for Hertz a Lot first but who knows. SL TFTC excellent as always. |
26 Jul 2014 | CM2243 | GLEZCQ2B | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Found it | Lord_Lady_C | Nice quick and easy find for the evening whilst on way home. TFTC |
... | CM2243 | GLF03PCT | Church Micro 2243 - St Mary, Great Bradley | Found it | dcutts666 | Quick find with Lord_Lady_C on our way home

... | RR076 | GLF4G485 | RR076 - Length Matters | Found it | infinson | No.4006 Length does indeed matter this took far to long to unravel, very pleased to make the find whilst in the area to gather some other information. TFTC Mr Crow

27 Jul 2014 | E201 | GLEZJ68G | Essex 100 - 2/01 - Copse | Found it | gamehawkers | Our first go at geocaching had lots of fun.. ????. Couldn't sign as there was no pen .. |
... | RR100 | GLEZNJ6V | RR100 - conjecTURING | Write note | gillywig | J'aimerais beaucoup visiter, mais ... mein Französisch und Deutsch sind nicht gut genug. |
... | RR152 | GLEZQRCK | RR152 - e.1/27^x | Write note | Mr Crow | I've extended the hint as the resource is hard to find. |
28 Jul 2014 | CM831 | GLF053XB | Church Micro 831 - Little Totham Evangelical | Found it | StratOman | Not having enough Rally Round puzzles solved for a trip to Crowland deebooted decided to tackle this and it's partner. After a little chat with me on messenger about navigating the little man, she soon had the coordinates. Very amusing little puzzle. TFTC

... | CM831 | GLF06674 | Church Micro 831 - Little Totham Evangelical | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Didn't quite get exactly what to do here with the letting go part and kept getting it wrong in the checker! A nudge from StratOman made it all clearer and off I went for a correct answer. Not being locals we couldn't find the way in to GZ at first and then it all fell into place after spotting a car parking area we had seen once before. Nice easy find where it said. TFTC |
... | CM831A | GLF051VV | Church Micro 830 - Little Totham - Revisited | Found it | StratOman | Flushed with success having solved Micro 830 deebooted moved on to the follow up puzzle. "It's the same puzzle" she complained to me ! Well not exactly I said. After a little chat she was off getting the second cache's coordinates. Another very neat little puzzle. Got a little lost trying to find the cache, but eventually found the right path. ATM made the find. TFTC

... | CM831A | GLF0672Y | Church Micro 830 - Little Totham - Revisited | Found it | deebooted & ATM | I had a lack of understanding the word "continue" here at first and started to curse the little bloke. StratOman to the rescue for an explanation and off I went for a successful flight. TFTC |
... | RR021X | GLF01NTE | Rallye Runde 21 aka Goat Lodge | Found it | peakat | Solved this one six months ago but on the first attempt to find we had a abandon because a workmen were clearing trees from the path. Back for a quick visit in Crow country today, glad that we came to look in the summer Thanks for the puzzle and the cache. |
... | RR063 | GLF01PYZ | RR063 - Off Set | Found it | peakat | Solved this puzzle a while ago but only picked up on a quick visit to Crow country today Thanks for the puzzle and the cache. |
... | RR159 | GLF04HQB | RR159 - Magnets | Found it | StratOman | I set my fellow cachers deebooted & ATM on this one, as it looked right up their street. Good progress was made, but they kept falling over at the final hurdle. One small suggestion from me, with one of the magnets soon set them back on course and the puzzle was soon solved. It took a while before we got the green light from the checker. No problems finding the cache and the field puzzle for RR160 Very nice original puzzle. TFTC and favourite. |
... | RR159 | GLF05ZF9 | RR159 - Magnets | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Lots of attempts with little oblongs of paper trying to make it work. Then came up with a path which made things fall into place with the right numbers after a little prod from StratOman. However the checker kept saying no as we hadn't managed to put in the right numbers the correct way round. Over to StratOman to finalise things. Today we picked up the first part. TFTC and a favourite point for the frustration of a puzzle that at least we knew how to start and even knew what was required! |
... | RR162X | GLF04MT6 | RR162 - Good Clean Fun? | Found it | StratOman | My face always lights up when I see a puzzle with images ... The title and hint soon revealed what to do, and a little chat with deedooted soon had me churning out the numbers. Nice easy find with the location hint. TFTC |
... | RR162X | GLF063RP | RR162 - Good Clean Fun? | Found it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman thought he was in his element here but stumbled a little until I decided to give him a colourful nudge in the right direction. TFTC |
... | RR164 | GLF04Q5E | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | StratOman | Being a retired electrical engineer I knew instantly what to do with this puzzle. Greeted at GZ by a wonderful cache container worth a favourite all on it's own. TFTC and favourite. |
... | RR164 | GLF062JR | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | deebooted & ATM | One for StratOman here and he soon had it sussed. At GZ today we all wondered "Who lives in a house like this?" A favourite point for the container and the cheeky location. TFTC |
... | RR165 | GLF04ZAE | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | StratOman | Deebooted was quickly on the case with this one, and did some great detective work. Unfortunately the final coordinates didn't look plausible. The hint quickly lead me to the correct location allowing deebooted to finished the puzzle and get the green light from the checker. At GZ she & ATM were soon onto the cache. TFTC |
... | RR165 | GLF0611Y | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Groovy idea for a cache. Got the right supplier but wrong location at first then StratOman came up with another better option. soon solved and collected today. TFTC |
... | RR246 | GLF06939 | RR246 - The Nearest FarAway Place | Found it | deebooted & ATM | A nice quick result with this one only stopping to check a few things along the way. An easy find at GZ today too. TFTC |
... | RR246 | GLF06FAP | RR246 - The Nearest FarAway Place | Found it | StratOman | Played no part in the puzzle which was done by caching partner deebooted. Easy find at GZ TFTC |
... | RR247 | GLF068BW | RR247 - Panglossian | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Easily spotted results. A similar story at GZ with a quick find. Found the co ords a little out here. TFTC |
... | RR247 | GLF06GBH | RR247 - Panglossian | Found it | StratOman | Another cache courtesy of deebooted. This series requires a lot of walking but got there aventually. TFTC |
... | RR248 | GLF06AAR | RR248 - Schoolfrenz | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Couldn't find the right amount of numbers for quite some time. We went out leaving StratOman to check things through and we had missed one! Now armed with the right answer it was another easy find at GZ although a mucky little cache bag in need of some TLC. TFTC |
... | RR248 | GLF06FZ3 | RR248 - Schoolfrenz | Found it | StratOman | The only one of this little series that my assistance was required. Solved the puzzle but was a number short. Eventually found the missing letter. Easy find at GZ TFTC |
... | RR249 | GLF069MD | RR249 - Thalamorph | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Another easy puzzle to solve with no hiccups. Sent StratOman over to retrieve at GZ, he who has two good knees. TFTC |
... | RR249 | GLF06GT5 | RR249 - Thalamorph | Found it | StratOman | Another one solved by deebooted. Long walk to GZ and a bit of gymnastics to get the cache. Good job one of the team has two good knees ! TFTC |
29 Jul 2014 | RR130 | GLF0DT1P | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Found it | Impboy | Nice easy find. TFTC |
... | RR130 | GLF1BNNW | RR130 - Maths Teacher | Found it | the_fullers | This was one of those puzzles that was more up Mrs_Fullers street than mine. Mrs_Fuller was determined to but it was her persistence that paid off in the end With the coordinates stored for another day, it was today that we found time to venture up to find and sign. After parking up and some initial confusion with the footpath(s) we eventually found our way on the right path and soon at GZ. Mrs_Fuller was able to spot this one with ease SL. TFTC. |
30 Jul 2014 | CN | GLF19YCW | Crow's Nest | Found it | becndave | This one has been on our to do list for a while and we were happy to find it! picked up a tb |
31 Jul 2014 | RR144 | GLF1AKHR | RR144 - Oinkment | Found it | foxscout | Oh piggy piggy! How long have I stared at you? You run on the spot, your eyes watching me all the time and your ears wagging! But would you tell me your secret? Well...yes you would actually but I in my usual way over complicated it! I have two puzzles I keep coming back to. This and Trees and Towns. I can't leave them along. I open their pages and make them both fit on the screen and sit staring at them. Tonight I decided to fire up the beast in the corner. This only happens for The Very Most Serious Puzzles! It takes a while. It's old but once it's worked it's way through the various things it likes to do on start up it is a very nice machine with a lovely screen. I sat patiently waiting. Then I sat staring at two screens. Suddenly after months I had a flash of inspiration. I thought I knew what I had to do but I had no idea how to do it. After an hour or so of playing I still had no idea how to do it I grabbed a pencil and paper and suddenly I knew his secret!!! I am so happy to have solved this and at GZ was rewarded with a lovely cache and container! Thank you for a fun puzzle and cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR151 | GLF1BE42 | RR151 - #u10w991hechm | Found it | foxscout | What a fab idea for a puzzle! Even when I thought I knew what I was doing I still couldn't get the answer. I sat scratching my head and put it back on the unsolved pile. The other night it came back to the top of the puzzle pile and I had another look. I quickly spotted my mistake And shortly after had a nice plot. At GZ it look me a few moments to spot this nicely hidden cache! Thank you for a very nice puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR160 | GLF164KJ | RR160 - Magnets' Bonus | Found it | gillywig | Noted the info at RR159 and returned to study. Realised that a return visit to its' parent would be necessary. Even with the fantastic new discovery I(Gr) was only 75% of the way there. Today at the final, some initial confusion before finding. An obvious ommitted clue only dawned afterwards. SL sure in the knowlege that it will be found again. Fantastic bonus. Favourite left at RR159 if for multiple reasons: the puzzle, the contents, the eventual dawning moment(s) ... Thanks Ray another excellent addition. |
... | RR161 | GLF1A6BY | RR161 - /ˈduËmzdeɪ/ | Found it | foxscout | It's been a while since I have had some spare time for puzzle solving but today I finished school for five whole weeks I glanced through the list of puzzles...25 lovely shiny puzzles all waiting to be solved As I looked down the list this one caught my eye... I knew what I was looking for and after a happy half hour or so, I had the lovely green 'correct' on the checker. At GZ today I had fun...round and round I went...where could it be? I rechecked my GPS...am I in the right place? Then suddenly there it was! I like the container! Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR162X | GLF1BB43 | RR162 - Good Clean Fun? | Found it | foxscout | My heart usually sinks when I see puzzles with images but I saw this and grabbed my puzzle book and pencil. I soon realised my first idea was wrong and set about with another idea. A few scribbles here and a few scribbles there and the numbers began appearing This was a very enjoyable and satisfying puzzle and I soon had a nice plot. At GZ today I stood and looked hmm...where could it be? I couldn't immediately see a hiding place. Two more paces and there it was! Very neat hide and a lovely little puzzle Thank you for placing this cache Mr Crow. |
... | RR165 | GLF1AAWQ | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | foxscout | I like to keep my puzzle finds at 10% of my total finds and with my recent puzzle solving slump it had fallen to 9.59%. After having fun solving 161 I decided to look at this one next. I read the cache page and made a fresh cup of tea. I thoroughly enjoyed trying to solve this And it didn't take long to have a nice plot. I put the numbers in the checker just to be sure and got the lovely green 'correct'. At GZ I soon spotted the cache. Neat hide and a neat puzzle! Thank you for a fun puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow. |

They were convinced as the tree looked so nice this was high and with a TR of 2.5 I had to agree. No 4 went up first and had a good poke around. No 3 soon followed and climbed down into the bow but came back up empty handed. Nothing for it but I had to go up and still nothing it was as I clambered down that a wee bit of cloth caught my eye. No need for any of our exhersions, but they enjoyed it anyway.

04 Aug 2014 | Q1 | GLF5Y5PM | Q1 - Gillywiggle | Didn't find it | hublander | On the day the cache was published we worked out the coords for this cache and saw people find it. So we saved coming here since we was doing a cache a day and may need the find later.
But now the the ground around here is flooded for some reason. Think there is a Burst Water Main under the road and it is coming out here. The other problem is the area is very overgrown since March and could not find the cache. |
... | Q3 | GLF5Y5Q2 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | hublander | #2632 After failing at No. 1 we came here to find this cache as it was getting dark it took some finding by torchlight but found it. We was going to get the other cache down this footpath but we gave up since we was only wearing trainers and the path got very muddy further down.
Signed in for us as H+B28 D+S+F or was it the other way round this saved us writing Hublander, Beanie28, Davemcwish, Sammyjw and Fidget2014. Also this saved space on the logbook.

07 Aug 2014 | CNB | GLF3YZDB | Crow's Nest (Bonus) | Didn't find it | deebooted & ATM | StratOman has finally bought himself a new toy in the form of a Garmin GPS and found a thing called chirping. We then realised after all this time where to access mine from on my GPS! Whilst in the area today we thought we grab this bonus chirp. Well what can one say! We spent far too long here, sussing the anagram straight away, but the little blighter hid securely from our prying eyes. Note it has fairly recently been seen by CO so perhaps we need our eyes testing! |
... | CNB | GLF41VJC | Crow's Nest (Bonus) | Didn't find it | StratOman | So that's what a chirp is Armed with the coords we moved on to GZ and spent almost an hour trying to find the little blighter. That included lunch ..... DNF |

... | RR152 | GLF3JMMR | RR152 - e.1/27^x | Found it | StratOman | FTF Must confess to making little progress with this one until the hint was extended. On a roll after that with the numbers coming easily. And then another problem emerged. After a bit of head scratching it became clear what was required. Another beautifully crafted puzzle, which and a definite favourite. At GZ ATM was soon onto the cache. TFTC This entry was edited by StratOman on Friday, 08 August 2014 at 16:21:38 UTC.

... | RR152 | GLF41VDR | RR152 - e.1/27^x | Found it | deebooted & ATM | We did very little on this one except we managed to understand what StratOman did. We agreed the final bit even though we found it a bit confusing. Putting it on the map we went for the first team decision and it paid off. Cache was found within a couple of minutes. TFTC |
... | RR160 | GLF3YWP6 | RR160 - Magnets' Bonus | Found it | deebooted & ATM | After having taken a photo of the contents recently of RR159 ready to do this puzzle we realised that we were barking a little was up the wrong tree so a re-visit today soon solved the problem and a set of co ords were found quickly. Here at GZ a cache was in hand in quick time. TFTC and another favourite point from us. A clever puzzle. |
... | RR160 | GLF40RD0 | RR160 - Magnets' Bonus | Found it | StratOman | Took the details of this puzzle home on the last visit but realised it had to be done "in the field" And indeed it was on our second attempt. Great concept worth a favourite. TFTC |
... | RR257X | GLF3XDEZ | RR257 - Great Braxted Wall 1 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. The day began with a flat battery in the van. We flagged down a lovely guy who helped up jump start the engine and finally we were on our way. We parked at the parking co-ords and started with some fine dining on the lawn. After packing up the tables and chairs we went in search of the first micro. I stood back and let my companion search, this was her first experience of geocaching. After a little search the first micro was spotted and it's contents noted. The second one took us a little longer. We overshot the co-ords and searched in a couple of wrong places before backtracking and then after another little search located where it was hiding. The third one was found by my companion whilst I searching a completely different place We found a nice place to sit and soon had six nice plots. We both loved the walk along here. We were intrigued by all the little gates that gave us small glimpses past the wall. Once at GZ I stood back and let Ab do the searching. She soon called me over to show me how it was hidden. We signed and carefully replaced the cache. I loved all the trees off to the left it looks like someone has created their own arboretum. The cedar is amazing. Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. |
... | RR258X | GLF3XEKN | RR258 - Great Braxted Wall - 2 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. We continued our walk and were soon at GZ. We began searching, I thought I saw a good spot, but no cache. I gave Ab the GPS and she wandered around trying to get the distance down to zero. The lowest we could get it was 15 feet and we began searching again. Still nothing. We searched a long area but nothing. Hmmm...where could it be? I read a few logs and we widened our search. Suddenly I spotted something and there was the cache. It was about 60 feet from the original GZ. I opened the cache and Ab had a look through all the contents before we carefully replaced the cache. Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. |
... | RR259X | GLF3XFAM | RR259 - Great Braxted Wall - 3 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. Onward we went, really enjoying the walk. At GZ we both quickly spotted where this was hidden. Ab was asking me many questions and at this point I was explaining that some people have a certain style of hide. This is a classic Mr Crow hide Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. |
... | RR260X | GLF3XFRA | RR260 - Great Braxted Wall - 4 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. The late afternoon sun was streaming through the trees and it was so beautiful and peaceful as we walked along here. Our GPS took us straight to GZ but I couldn't spot the cache. It was the Ab that discovered this one. Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. |
... | RR261X | GLF3XH1R | RR261 - Great Braxted Wall - 5 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. We continued our lovely walk and suddenly I realised we were 100 feet past GZ. We backtracked but I couldn't get the distance down to lower than 75 feet. We checked our numbers and we had one of the northings wrong. We set off again and were soon at the right place. Oh no! I took a step forward and quickly jumped back. I was sinking! My heart pounded...it was RR132 all over again I gingerly put my foot forward and found a slightly firmer piece of ground. Slowly I edged forward until I could lean and grab a tree. I pulled myself up into the tree and to safety I wasn't sure how I would get back, but I wasn't worried about that yet. I hoped this was GZ After a little search I spotted some camo and then the cache...phew I found a much easier route back to the path Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. |
... | RR262X | GLF3XJBH | RR262 - Great Braxted Wall - 6 | Found it | foxscout | What fun! I have looked at this walk many times but most cachers I know have already walked it. Today we had a few hours spare between a trip to Go Outdoors and our weekly visit to the local climbing wall. We decided to head this way for a nice picnic and a walk. Whilst we had been looking for the micros I said to Ab that this looked like a nice spot for a cache! As our walk continued I wondered when we might end up back here. I still had 100 feet left on my GPS, another wrong northing was the reason for this. We stopped and had a look. I let Ab search. No...no cache...'Are you sure?' I said. It looks perfect. I went to have a look and there it was nicely hidden away. We signed and looked through all the contents. There was a nice ring that Ab tried on but we had no swaps with us today so the ring remains for the next finder Thank you for a fantastic walk and thank you setting and maintaining this lovely series of caches for us to find Mr Crow. Favourite point added for this nice hide and for a lovely walk and set of caches |

11 Aug 2014 | RR124X | GLF5BNCF | RR124 - Five Diamonds 1 | Found it | Fenners1984 | It's been quite some time since I last looked at a Rally Round puzzle, let alone solved and/or found one so I though it about time to pick up these five caches as they were pretty much the only ones I'd got vaguely ready. The puzzle was solved in reasonably short shrift but upon getting to the vicinity, the first problem was finding where to start from but a bit of a scout round solved that issue - a likely looking footpath sign was forthcoming and I parked up nearby before heading down the path. The GZ was soon found and a likely looking hide yielded nothing but a quick expansion of the search came up trumps (pardon the pun). A quick calculation of the next coords gave another promising plot and off I went across the ploughed field, just as the rain started to fall. TFTC #1104 |
... | RR125X | GLF5BQ7T | RR125 - Five Diamonds 2 | Found it | Fenners1984 | It's been quite some time since I last looked at a Rally Round puzzle, let alone solved and/or found one so I though it about time to pick up these five caches as they were pretty much the only ones I'd got vaguely ready. Having solved the puzzle, I knew the series was a little more involved than first thought so having collected FD1, I knew what came next. A quick find at GZ and a new calculation to make... I hadn't got as far as solving online so I was pleased to have a moment of inspiration in the field to take me to FD3. TFTC #1105 |
... | RR126X | GLF5BTQR | RR126 - Five Diamonds 3 | Found it | Fenners1984 | It's been quite some time since I last looked at a Rally Round puzzle, let alone solved and/or found one so I though it about time to pick up these five caches as they were pretty much the only ones I'd got vaguely ready. On a bit of a roll now and found GZ without much bother. Now to solve the puzzle for FD4... I spent some time trying various permutations but nothing came forth so tried to think of ideas as I walked... TFTC #1106 |
... | RR127X | GLF5BVGP | RR127 - Five Diamonds 4 | Found it | Fenners1984 | It's been quite some time since I last looked at a Rally Round puzzle, let alone solved and/or found one so I though it about time to pick up these five caches as they were pretty much the only ones I'd got vaguely ready. Having picked up FD3, I was a little stumped as to the workings of the puzzle so after a fruitless ten minutes or so, I decided that conjecture might work. A likely suspect seemed too good to be true and it was but the second hide came up trumps and there was the cache! I'll get to the bottom of the puzzle eventually... TFTC #1107
Edit: Puzzle eventually found after some perseverance and a change in method.

... | RR128X | GLF5BYRY | RR128 - Five Diamonds 5 | Found it | Fenners1984 | It's been quite some time since I last looked at a Rally Round puzzle, let alone solved and/or found one so I though it about time to pick up these five caches as they were pretty much the only ones I'd got vaguely ready. I didn't manage to solve the puzzle for this at all and gave up, happy to give the puzzle another go when at home. A complete fluke then, that I should bump into the CO in Tesco in Tiptree just as I was heading home who kindly gave me a hint as to the method. A quick calculation in the car and a revisit to the area and the cache was soon in hand. Glad to have another five ticked off! TFTC and hint! #1109 |

16 Aug 2014 | CM1292 | GLF6ZE5C | Church Micro 1292 - Tolleshunt Knights - Annexe | Found it | Denbymist | I was not sure there would be parking near here, so I thought I would park up at the village hall and walk to GZ along the footpath at the bottom of the field. That was a mistake, this path is obviously not used very often, and I was shredded by all the brambles by the time I had got to the end. All the pain however was rewarded with success at GZ. SL TFTC. Now I've got to get back up that footpath. |

18 Aug 2014 | RR152 | GLF9A878 | RR152 - e.1/27^x | Found it | gillywig | Well here’s a tale. Many times has this place been visited.
The first was for a cache not by the CO. The second occasion was an epic conjecturing day in which the impossible feline cache was eventually found. This year, three or four visits for newly published Rally Rounds. One visit in particular that sticks in the memory was the encounter with the silent Alsatian with the wet nose. The most recent visit occurred after a visit to the Crows Nest. The CO enquired if I would like to accompany him on a maintenance trip. Not having solved the puzzle, a found it log would have been inappropriate, but I was amazed to see the cache sitting in a previously conjectured place!
The solving was a journey of several visits too. The first hurdle was understanding the hint’s notation. Even then (and perhaps I should have known) it took a while. The next stage was really enjoyable with many an interesting diversion before finding the required ‘tool’ . It was here that the solving stalled and the puzzle hit the unsolved pile until a most benevolent nudge. The only problem now however was the ‘tool’ wasn’t as available as before. An attempt at mathematically resolving it myself would be futile, but what if? Oh I had! The co-ords now came relatively easily but not without a final twist.
I believe this Rally Round to definitely be worthy of its' difficulty rating.
A return today and the log was signed. TFTC another memorable and must favourite cache. |
... | RR163 | GLF9C202 | RR163 - Routemaster | Found it | gillywig | "... we're on the road to somewhere"
Sometimes when searching for one cache you find another. Well that was almost the case here. It may well have been if not for solving.
A return to the classic rally round format of some of the early rally round puzzles. Soon got the idea and was en-Route. Mastering was more challenging than expected and I could not catch one particular mode, however hard I tried and however fond of it I am. So there was only one thing for it. Shocking as it may be, but jump started at a later part of the route and continued my omnibustic experience. Once up the junction, pleased to get the checker to agree on the second attempt.
A good sketch was required here as some latitude due to tree cover. Pacing calibrated over the first eight yards, so I thought it would be fine. However another reference point was needed before deciding to investigate further. Nothing where I was standing required pliering so I applied some Indypendant thought and ding ding room for a log on top!
Great puzzle cache and hide. TFTC |

Having explained to the walk leader what I was doing she was interested in seeing a cache for herself so no problems with leaving the group to grab this one.

... | RR156 | GLF9ZRVY | RR156 - Krowpki | Found it | gillywig | Not seen nor heard of this type of puzzle before. Not having a working printer meant solving other rally rounds took precedent. Once created in excel and a bit of 'must be' assumptions the grid started to be filled. Couldn't quite complete the grid correctly but the coords had looked good and the checker agreed. I had been very near here recently so could picture the terrain. Knew some pacing would be required and a second attempt at 87 paces was required before finding. Glad of the clue. Thanks for fun Ray. |
... | RR158 | GLF9ZBTE | RR158 - Quid Pro Crow | Write note | gillywig | Just a note for now. Found this afternoon. I had a £1 for Crow but it wouldn't fit in. Got something more worthy (m?) which I will give him next time we meet. Full log to follow. |
... | RR158 | GLFAFFTW | RR158 - Quid Pro Crow | Found it | gillywig | A great little puzzle that was solved only when the penny dropped. Latin duly noted, it was over to excel and after a tweek (swopping tit for tat you could say) very plausable co-ordinates appeared. For the second time today I was extremely grateful for the clue. Even so it was lucky when finding in the second place searched. There was no room for the £1 coin so left only a signiture. TFTC |

30 Aug 2014 | 1111 | GLFCKMEG | 1-1-11 (Bridge) | Found it | mustertherohirrim | Found with brissybrooker. This hide had previously eluded team Purple Peeblers, but with renewed gusto (and owner maintenance to confirm it's existence) we set off again to find it. Staying close to the GZ as possible according to the map, we hacked down all the nettles that had grown back since our last visit(!) and checked somewhere that had been previously accessible due to how many nettles there were! Once located it really didn't seem too difficult. I should also remark on the quality of the swaps; we traded a Florida seashell for the Colchester castle badge. TFTC |

I got so far but could not see a way forward; coming back to it the next morning and I noticed the next link and it all slotted into place. I really love this type of puzzle, so more please (loads of people are probably shouting "nooooo" now I've written that!) Quickly spotted the cache today. TFTC |
... | RR159 | GLFCF955 | RR159 - Magnets | Found it | julietr4 | This had us pulling our hair out for a while until the penny dropped. Favourite again for another brill puzzle. Now to work out the bonus...... TFTC #2,113 Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR159 | GLFCMY20 | RR159 - Magnets | Found it | Stones2005 | 6994 Solving this was a joint effort, and Dave and I had about 6 goes on print outs before we got it right. I had to try different combinations of the numbers left to get the coordinates as I couldn't see the logical order for the northings. Eventually one combination made a good plot and checker said "yes". I came prepared for the bonus, but the numbers I came up with did not plot well; so will have to think about that one a bit more. TFTC We enjoyed solving this one. |

GT heard someone shouting from a car that we were "in the right place this time" it could only be the man himself! Thank goodness we had it right as we had already given him a good old laugh on the checker yesterday with our feeble attempt at solving this. Yet another favourite point being used here.

... | E5472 | GLFEVVBF | Essex 100 - 5/47(2) - Design | Found it | julietr4 | We knew that there was a huge chance that we would be pipped to this one but we headed out anyway for a lovely morning walk. Realised at GZ we had been beaten by Mel-Ray (aaaaaaaaaaarggghhhhh!) shame we didn't see you guys on the walk we could have all had lunch at the pub - or at least a beer. Never mind, pleased with a STF. Thanks Ray for another reason to visit the area. #2,120 |

Thought we should start with this one, thinking we would see a certain name in log. Nope ..yay FTF for us. Sorry we missed Julie & Gary. certainly would have been great to have walked with you.. A bit overgrown now but was fine to retreive cache..TFTC |
... | RR031X | GLFF76Y7 | RR031 - Urban Bishops | Found it | geotrowel | I seem to have solved this ages ago, but I've no idea why I didn't go and retrieve it! So, after finding the coords in my notes and having them confirmed by the checker, it seemed rude not to pick up the cache at the earliest opportunity.

12 Sep 2014 | 1111-3 | GLFGWJGF | 1-11-11 (River) | Found it | windywetmud | Found safe and sound (Thank goodness!) Obviously I should have tried this one sooner being the closest not found to home for soooo long but I just couldn't build up the enthusiasm based on its location and previous comments. So.. An extra incentive?. First to find in over a year? Yep that will do nicely After leaving the noisy A12 behind and negotiating the nosy old goat (An actual goat not a miserable one) It was a pleasant walk through the field (more rabbits in one place than I have ever seen)And then onto the knee high stingy bit(Long trousers required). Now where is that cache? Well..It was laying on the edge of the bank with literally a dried leaf stopping it from dropping to oblivion. Saved and logged Replaced high and dry. Thanks Mr Crow (P.S. I am still using your Schoolfrenz mug for tea at work ) In summary a favourite for me.Because even though it didn't involve a mountain climb or bungee jump it did require a certain mental effort to bag the booty |

... | RR257X | GLFGWGN7 | RR257 - Great Braxted Wall 1 | Found it | starguider | I printed out the cache details for this in May 2010 and since then it has sat in my "Mr Crow" folder, yes you have a folder all to your self. Before leaving home I thought it would be an idea to check to see if the information was the same. It was a good job I did as some of the co-ordinates had changed and the formula for the caches were different.
After arriving at the parking place I set off to find the first micro, an easy find, and noted down the numbers and set off for the second one. This took much longer to find as I had not updated all the information and did not have the full hint for it. After a few scratches I found it. The third also took a little while to find. I then spent some time working out the co-ordinates and entering them into the Gps.
My co-ordinates put me the other side of the wall but i guessed where I should be looking and found the cache quickly and signed the log. I had to return as I had taken the plastic bag with me. Caching in good order. tftc |

... | RR262X | GLFGWMFJ | RR262 - Great Braxted Wall - 6 | Found it | starguider | Another quick find again the cache was in good order. This walk had me wondering just how many bricks are in this wall? Really enjoyed this walk. Thank you. |

Log to follow, but first we walk back to the car because we forgot to bring a pen!
Edit: Not too many caches around that have gone so long without a find, but we did a quick search on the site, and decided to pick this one as our next challenge. We did so mainly because, unlike some others we saw, this one clearly had a responsible owner with puzzles that are hard but not impossible, and who checks on his caches regularly to ensure they're really still there! Thank you for that, Mr Crow!
So this puzzle was definitely a team effort, and there was no way the two of us could have done this on our own. But between four of us we were able to make it through each step and finally get the coordinates. Solution checker gave us the green light, and so we made plans to visit the Malden area on Sunday, hoping none of the watchers would race for a solution, knowing we were coming!
Sunday came around, and so we jumped in the car, drove an hour and a half to the site, and quickly made the find. Well, not before an 'incident' involving some dirt sliding away under my traction-less shoes, an unfortunate amount of bare skin and a LOT of nettles. (see photo)
We were very excited to find a beautiful custom medal in the cache, and, even more exciting, a pathtag! We looove those, and suddenly realized we'd forgotten to bring one of our to leave behind. Oh yeah, and we also FORGOT TO BRING A PEN. Doh.
Log in hand we strolled back through the lovely countryside to our car, signed the log, and returned it to its hiding place. Well, the Master did. I wasn't going to try my luck with those nettles a second time, I earned that terrain rating!! (I'm still earning it as we speak)
Anyway, thank you Mr Crow for the fantastic challenge. This puzzle is brilliantly engineered, and we learned a whole new puzzle trick (the hardest step) that will come in handy for future puzzles of our own, if Mr Crow doesn't mind. We ended up having a lovely day in Malden, which happened to have some kind of heritage festival on, so we got to climb to the rooftop of Moot Hall for a splendid view of the area. We picked up a variety of other geocaches too, several worthy of a favorite point. A good day overall!
This puzzle, of course, gets a favorite point too.

After last nights storm we decided this might be a good walk todo without mosquitoes and long wet grass. Proved a good idea as it was lovely and dry under foot. The sun was shining and got very hot, brought back memories of previous walks in the heat here, No 1 got very sun burnt we were really unprepared for the heat today. We had a really lovely walk, lots of bird life and loads of huge dragonflies whizzing around. Saw a beautiful herd of black cattle with lots of babies and daddy bull guarding over them all. All caches found safe and well.

... | E120 | GLFKNE6Y | Essex 100 - 1/20 - Bounds | Found it | RachelnRedd | Gosh, can't believe it was two and a half years since I was here last and DNFed it. Today walking my parents' dog along from Goldhanger, dodged various muggles and tried one of the possibilities, which came away easily but contained nothing except some pieces of chalk. The other one needed more prising, but the cache was then revealed. Great hiding place, thanks for hiding. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR074 | GLFKRMKY | RR074 - Dial-A-Ride | Found it | grinning_buddha | I solved this some time ago and was planning to save it until I had enough RRs solved to spend a day in Crowland logging them, but as it was directly on my route to claim a FTF at RR168, it seemed only polite to pick it up on the way. As indicated by the hint, it was quickly found and the unusual container extracted from its hiding place and log signed.
TFTC. |
... | RR096X | GLFMBXNQ | Rally Round 96 aka Crowlympics | Found it | Dobunnis | What can we say about this one. Obviously H had looked at it on and off over the years then a German version pops up as we are leaving for a holiday in Europe (including the world's first Giga event in Munich). Along with that some new hints and confirmation that she had been thinking along the right lines before.
It was only when we came back from holiday that she noticed another new piece of information on both cache pages and this was key to cutting down the number of options. Rather annoyingly she solved the English version really quickly with the first method she tried but then it got found after all that time! As future solvers will find, once it comes out in full there is no need to check it (although obviously she did before we went looking for the container). Annoyingly we could not get over to this side of the country before this weekend but that's the way it goes.
The German version proved more tricky due to some intrinsic complications in the encryption but there was also one wrong digit that distracted her. She did finally solve that one but only on the Friday night during the drive to Clacton to visit H's mum for the weekend. Being a FTF opportunity, we detoured and looked for that one but could not find it in the dark. This cache involves a walk so we decided to leave it.
We detoured on our way home on today but this time with some daylight. The German version was found and the blank logbook signed then we decided to find two more, this being the first. We arrived near GZ and parked up on the verge. Plenty of doggie muggles on their late afternoon walks but they all left as we headed up the track. The GPSr counted down and C spotted a possible gap in the hedge over a ditch. She sent H in (why when it is C that finds them?) where she prodded some likely spots without success. C suddenly joins her and finds the container in the next tree. Ah well...
Another mini adventure while on our travels to the east coast. Just time for a one more before the long drive home. TNLN, TFTC,

... | RR166X | GLFKVJ3D | RR166 - Krähelympiade | Found it | Dobunnis | {FTF} @ 5pm What can we say about this one. Obviously there is an English version which H had looked at on and off over the years then this one pops up as we are leaving for a holiday in Europe (including the world's first Giga event in Munich). Along with that some new hints and confirmation that she had been thinking along the right lines before. It was only when we came back from holiday that she noticed another new piece of information on both cache pages and this was key to cutting down the number of options. Rather annoyingly she solved the English version really quickly with the first method she tried but then it got found after all that time! As future solvers will find, once it comes out in full there is no need to check it (although obviously she did before we went looking for the container). This one proved to be a bit more complicated. Obviously her German is not as good as it could be but there are other intrinsic complications. It did not help that one number had one digit wrong (now corrected) and it was one she could not immediately guess. The checker was employed with some of the possibilities from looking at the map but she forgot about one piece of information that she had translated that moved the coords. Once she used that, the checker said yes with one of the numbers she had thought of from the start which was close enough that it could just have been a mistake on the page. We should probably mention that this latter part of the solving was being done in the car on the Friday night as we drove to Clacton to visit H's mum for the weekend With the coords confirmed, a detour was required. It was dark by this time but worse a fog had descended and the visibility had really dropped. H knew there was possible parking nearby so directed C to it and then we searched. There was a ditch with a field behind it beyond some trees with plenty of undergrowth surrounding them but we only knew of this on our return on the Sunday; the torch light just produced a glare. H found a nice hole on this side but no container and even though we searched the other side of the road the cache remained unfound. We detoured again on our way home and parked up as before but this time we had some daylight. H finally went in for the find (even though it is C's job to find the puzzles that H solves ) and it was not a surprise that we did not find it before. The area is very overgrown and the cache was well out of sight until various prickly and stinging things were moved. Ouch! She was not letting this one get away though and a blank log was duly found and signed. Another mini adventure while on our travels to the east coast. Just time for a couple more (the English version of this cache being one of them) before we headed home. TFTC, Helen and Carolyn .

... | RR167X | GLFKT74R | Rally Round 167 aka Otter & 'Otter | Found it | StratOman | Not FTS but FTF Travelling back from Devon on Friday evening Deebooted was on her iPad and noticed a new Rally Round puzzle had been published. We had a look whilst ATM was driving the last leg of the journey home and the theme was soon established. I said we could do it the next day when a PC was at hand for the number crunching. The next day the numbers soon started to roll out until an anomaly halted our progress. Took a while to cross this hurdle and complete the puzzle. As ATM was off to Brands Hatch the next day, Deebooted and I decided to pay a visit to Crow land to get the cache and spend some time caching in Tiptree. Was a little surprised to find an empty log as three other cachers had solved the puzzle by morning. TFTC and an interesting puzzle. |
... | RR167X | GLFM0Y0C | Rally Round 167 aka Otter & 'Otter | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Interesting puzzle with some heat generated between us on many counts! Kept coming up with different figures and the checker kept saying NO until the early hours of the morning. Another light bulb moment and we had the real answer albeit a confusing one. We really thought someone would have got there before us at 11.15am! Sadly not a first to solve though. TFTC |
... | RR167X | GLFMBYW8 | Rally Round 167 aka Otter & 'Otter | Found it | Dobunnis | H was busy solving the German version of Crowlympics as we drove to Clacton on the Friday night to visit H's mum. Unfortunately even though she went online she did not check for new caches and only spotted this one and another on the Saturday. She recognised a number immediately (let's just say she has an advantage ) so no need to look anything up (her job involves similar conversions) with the resulting coords out first time. On our way home today and we stopped off to get the FTF (which we could not find in the dark on the Friday night) and Crowlympics and then to this one. We already knew it had been found but it was not far away so let's get it done. No parking nearby so C waited with the car while H set off where she made a quick find (for a change) of the nicely tucked in container. Another mini adventure while on our travels to the east coast but now it was time for the long drive home. TFTC, Helen and Carolyn |
... | RR168X | GLFKT12H | RR168 - Birth Day Crossword | Found it | grinning_buddha | FTF Like the CO I have always had a passion for crosswords, so when this appeared I thought it was just up my street, and for once it was obvious what had to be done. Then I looked more closely, and I could see why it had taken Mr Crow ages to solve it... It would be rude to inquire exactly when Mr Crow was born, but clearly the standards for cryptic crosswords were different then. The setter of this one had never heard of, or chose to ignore, Afrit's dictum "You need not mean what you say, but you must say what you mean", still less Ximenes' rule "A good cryptic clue contains (1) a precise definition; (2) a fair subsidiary indication; (3) nothing else". I don't think it's giving anything away to say that this puzzle (the crossword, not CO's use thereof!) suffers from some or all of the following: missing definitions, ambiguous spelling, proper names, words invented purely for the Scrabble trade, and unverifiable solutions. Consequently, solving it took a little longer than boiling M R James' breakfast egg: in places it needed not so much literal-minded logical deduction, as a good cryptic should, as a kind of mind-reading: "if he really thinks he can get away with X as an acceptable clue for Y, then maybe P is supposed to mean Q?". Be that as it may, eventually I had a filled grid and a little arithmetic yielded a plausible solution, so 9:45 this morning (early for me on a Sunday, but conveniently I had to be on Mersea later in the day) found me at GZ on a nice sunny (in parts) but wind-chilly morning, after an easy stroll through curious but unthreatening livestock from a convenient parking location. Some valuable minutes were wasted on searching for something that matched the hint, together with some wild speculation on what it might mean, until cacher's instinct finally pointed me to the right spot and all was revealed, including a pristine log duly signed. A favourite, of course, for the subject matter. TFTC and many happy returns! |

23 Sep 2014 | RR167X | GLFM8H4V | Rally Round 167 aka Otter & 'Otter | Found it | gillywig | By the time I had noticed this brace appear I felt sure this would be solved so I immersed myself in its’ partner RR168. On return, there is only so much wordplay one can sustain, I spotted something familiar in the numbers. Not wanting the printout to self-combust, findings were stored in excel. More than one caused some concern (not least 280.40 ) but soon they made some sense. It was at this point that the hint clicked, d’oh! Today with another reason to venture out I visited here first. A quick find and a very pleasing container nestled in its’ holt. SL (despite lack of pen) and returned. Good to have a relatively easy Rally Round which hopefully will have many visitors.

... | RR168X | GLFNJ01Q | RR168 - Birth Day Crossword | Found it | gillywig | I have never completed the Times Crossword so an even greater challenge than your usual Rally Round. Initially progress was steady and hopes of a ftf briefly crossed my mind. Not to be as the easier clues dried up. However with some answers in place came a few more and a small snowball effect developed clearing up one corner and most of two others. One or two more plausable answers came as crossword solver aids became more and more employed. Then a complete brick wall and the grinning budha find(well done) and solving seemed a more distant prospect than ever. Since it had been solved and found, I sought confirmation of the answers so far and was very much encoraged until finally I arrived at the point were I decided the 6 unresolved clues were impossible.
And so to phase two, put the answers in order and conjecture, the puzzle became even more interesting. Guessing the possible values of 5,6 & 8 letter words and where they might occur led to seemingly endless "what ifs"? One possible senario though stuck out but one digit at least was very ambiguous and it was a great surprise when the checker returned success!
The walk was pleasant in warm sunshine and the last part paced. At 8 yds to go there was a very attractive hide but confindent the coords would be spot on I continued past and soon found what I had come for.
Log signed (3rd tf) I decided to avoid the unthreatening livestock and returned a slightly different route to the car. TFTC. A favourite, of course, for the puzzle and for the reverse engineering needed.

28 Sep 2014 | CL01 | GLFQ7EWH | Chigborough Lakes Nature Reserve - 1 | Found it | julietr4 | Finally got the time to come here and have a lovely walk through a part of Chigborough Lakes that we didnt know existed. Had spent the morning doing the Tiptree Canoe day at the local yacht club and thought this would be great way to spend the afternoon. Clues found at the start of our expidition and away we went. DT with the GPS got us to GZ and the cache straight away; all ok here. TFTC. # 2144 |
... | CL02 | GLFQ7J73 | Chigborough Lakes Nature Reserve - 2 | Found it | julietr4 | DT guided us again to GZ and cache found safe and sound but we had to use a little ingenuity to sign the log. The cache however is so safe we are not convinced this one is able to be fully retrieved without breaking the container. TFTC. # 2145 |
... | CL03 | GLFQ7M8Z | Chigborough Lakes Nature Reserve - 3 | Found it | julietr4 | Third and final quest of the day. DT guided us to GZ and found the cache with an abundance of 'Brians' attached. Log signed and replaced with the squatters unphased. TFTC and a fav from us for the series. # 2146. |
... | RR056X | GLFP55Y6 | RR056 - NiJE | Found it | Doggywalker | Talking about when I'm 64 and old things, I decided to come and find this after it had caused me to turn grey over a very short period of time. Luckily my little computer knowledge and an OCR Level 1 and 2 in Word and Excel helped me more than anything else. So many times I'd picked this up and put it down. A lovely sunny day for a walk in a very familiar place. Yes I've walked past this gz several times A fav for helping to keep my brain working in my old age and a very sneaky hide. Thanks for the cache Mr Crow .

I use it alot but it don't work. IA fav point added Thanks for the puzzle and cache Mr Crow .

Parked at Goldhanger church and enjoyed a lovely walk along the footpaths to GZ. On the way I discovered that my GPS didn't have this cache on it, being a recent addition to the series and my PQ was obviously well out of date, but I had spent so longing perusing the maps beforehand, trying to decide the best angle of approach, that I could remember exactly where it was going to be - and there it was. Once signed, we found a footpath to the sea wall, and returned on a beautiful warm sunny afternoon with beautiful views up the estuary. Thanks for giving us a lovely walk, and TFTC. Photo uploaded.

Before taking this path I shared my (lack of) progress with the CO. My interpretion of the hint being correct and the tools at my disposal resulted in a most grateful nudge. The solution still required some work however, but my previously acquired knowledge helped.
A wonderful puzzle worthy of its' rating. True solvers, I salute you.

When looking yesterday, I discovered that an extra cache had been placed in this series, so it would not complete the set unless I got that one as well. So this turned into a 6 mile walk for 2 caches! It was a lovely walk along the seawall watching the birds on the water, and I was very pleased that I found the cache when I got there! TFTC |
... | E5472 | GLFW2169 | Essex 100 - 5/47(2) - Design | Found it | Stones2005 | 7140 Number 17 Grass has for a long time been my last remaining Essex 100 cache still unfound, so I decided I would take the long walk along the seawall to collect it. When looking yesterday, I discovered that an extra cache ( this one ) had been placed in this series, so it would not complete the set unless I got this one as well. So this turned into a 6 mile walk for 2 caches! After finding the other one I retraced my steps and walked across the fields to this one, which was quickly found. TFTC |
... | RR034 | GLFW1YNA | RR034 - Proxim.Ity.me.uk | Found it | Stones2005 | 7133 It was a bit damp and muddy in the caches' hidey hole but all dry inside the container. TFTC |
... | RR095 | GLFW1ZV7 | RR095 - Ingot Ordeal | Found it | Stones2005 | 7136 I had done something similar for a puzzle a few years ago, but using a different subject matter; so I soon realised what was required. Cass and I were going to pick this up when in the area a few months ago on our Rally Round collecting day but were unable to stop as the road was being resurfaced and there were lots of lorries around. Nice and quiet today, so I parked up for a short stroll. TFTC |

... | RR160 | GLFW287N | RR160 - Magnets' Bonus | Found it | Stones2005 | 7141 I hadn't quite worked out the numbers correctly in the field when I found Magnets, so I had another jiggle at home and came up with some much more promising numbers.

... | E501 | GLFXZ05R | Essex 100 - 5/01 - Fourgone | Found it | Max the dog! | Didn't fool me this time |
... | E502 | GLFXYZB8 | Essex 100 - 5/02 - Curlew | Found it | Max the dog! | Very suspicious muggles round here. Picked the cache up twice looking for the cache! Yes it was one of those days Have a favourite for fooling me. Left trackable |
... | E503 | GLFXYXY6 | Essex 100 - 5/03 - Northwards | Found it | Max the dog! | Quick find. Only one possible place based on the hint. |
... | E513 | GLFXZ9PX | Essex 100 - 5/13 - Agape | Found it | Max the dog! | Another good hide. Great series. Lots of good sized caches for trackables. Have a favourite for the lot and we'll be back to do some more in the near future. |
... | E514 | GLFXZ8WP | Essex 100 - 5/14 - Colchester | Didn't find it | Max the dog! | Looks like something's amiss here. Of the last eight logs there have been 7 DNFs with only Sylivie finding it (when out with the CO). Blackthorn isn't my favourite hedging plant to poke around in so I will place it on my watchlist and try again later. |

... | E520 | GLFXZ4EF | Essex 100 - 5/20 - Backscratch | Found it | Max the dog! | Like the hide, but got covered in sticky buds and dead ivy flowers. |
... | E521 | GLFXZ5TJ | Essex 100 - 5/21 - Carrington | Found it | Max the dog! | Had to give up on the trip down as there was so much traffic on the road. On the way back we parked across the road from the cache and managed to spot the hide this time. Could only just reach the cache, but grabbed it and dashed back to the car before another line of cars came past. Signed then made a quick dash to replace. |
... | E523 | GLFXZ6AT | Essex 100 - 5/23 - West | Found it | Max the dog! | Parked the car and gave the dogs a quick walk to find this cache before we had to go back home. Thanks for an great day caching Mr Crow. |
... | E528 | GLFXYVWA | Essex 100 - 5/28 - Guishes | Didn't find it | Max the dog! | Had a good look round but no joy. One for the watchlist methinks. |
... | E529 | GLFXYTRJ | Essex 100 - 5/29 - Garden | Found it | Max the dog! | Quick cache. The dogs enjoyed a run in the fenced in bit. I have to beware of rabbits and squirrels as for some reason my dogs go deaf when they are about. Nice and safe here though. Max awards a favourite. Trackable left |
... | E530 | GLFXYT1K | Essex 100 - 5/30 - Boundary | Found it | Max the dog! | Quick cache and dash. |
... | E531 | GLFXYRQ5 | Essex 100 - 5/31 - Pol-ution | Found it | Max the dog! | I walked to this with the dogs while hubby went back for the car. He still beat us to the cache but had to wait for me to sign as I had the only pen. |
... | E532 | GLFXYQD7 | Essex 100 - 5/32 - Chapel | Found it | Max the dog! | Parked at the pub and grabbed a couple of quickies in the village. |
... | E533 | GLFXYPPM | Essex 100 - 5/33 - Alfalfa | Found it | Max the dog! | Grabbed after a meal at the Queens Head, which welcomes dogs. Impressed a couple of muggles with my exellently behaved dogs. They thought they were sitting so they could pass us with their puschairs, but we were just waiting for them to pass so we could grab the cache. |
... | RR114 | GLFY056H | RR114 - +|- (2) | Found it | grinning_buddha | FTF When I first looked at the deceptively simple code of this puzzle, all kinds of possibilities came to mind, but I couldn't see how to decode the hint, without which nothing seemed to lead me anywhere useful. So, like many more puzzles, it went on the pile for later consideration. Two days ago (not for the first time) I looked at it again, and had a thought, did a bit of scribbling, realised there was another problem, and put it down. Yesterday I picked it up again and started an interior dialogue. - What if I was right yesterday after all? - But you found a problem. - What if I just ignore it and see what's left? Oh. That's an interestingly simple idea. I wonder... - Too simple. How would you deal with this? - But if that didn't happen it wouldn't be a problem. - But if it did? - Aha! That's what the hint is about! - But there's still the other thing - So I'll try all the possibilities. There can't be too many. And shortly afterwards I had sensible looking numbers for the first half of the location. The second half was more challenging, until another layer of the puzzle unwrapped. Even that wasn't the end, as I discovered when the checker said "no". A total of 10 times "no", in fact, until it finally conceded. Fortuitously, a power cut meant that I was sent home from work early today, so I set a course towards GZ. I was slightly hampered (and occasionally terrified) by a series of encounters with enormous vehicles not meant for country roads, as they tried to find their way around an accident on the A12. Nevertheless I eventually arrived at GZ and within a few minutes had a very familiar style of container in hand, together with a satisfyingly blank log. TFTC, and a favourite for the ingenious encryption. (PS I subsequently solved the original (archived) RR114, which was considerably easier ) |

It's also quite mathematical. 6 is the smallest perfect number, the only even perfect number that is not the sum of successive odd cubes, the only number that is both the sum and the product of three consecutive positive numbers. 501 is the sum of the first eighteen primes, there are 501 degree-8 polynomials with integer coefficients, all of whose roots are in the unit disk, there are 501 ways of partitioning the digits from 0 to 9 into two sets each of which contains at least two digits, and 501 ways of partitioning a set of five elements into any number of ordered sequences. But I digress. Taking this one in reverse order: Cache part 3: On arrival at GZ I soon had a blank log in hand and duly signed it. (That was the positive.) Cache parts 1 and 2: Unfortunately (this is the negative) it wasn't really that simple. I had already visited on two other occasions, by day and night, and was mildly mortified to find nothing. I ransacked thorny hedgerows, paddled in evil ditches, turned over every potentially fake stone, and even, heeding the hint and mindful of a recent Event, dragged the ditches for rubber ducks. Finally I had to resort to emailing a plea to the CO, who quickly responded with a shove in the right direction. But in my defence I must say that the hint would probably only be useful to Superman . Puzzle: looks simple until you actually try to solve it. Then it rapidly disappears off towards infinity in a combinatorial explosion which soon exhausts pencil & paper methods, and even taxes a computer. However, meditating on negativity, positivity, that which is both positive and negative, and that which is neither, I noticed that you can state the problem in a slightly more symmetrical way that a mathematician (which I am not) might consider more elegant. That shaves a tiny bit off the complexity. A hint elsewhere on the cache page removes even more, so I set my Mechanical Turk off to test possibilities with no idea whether it would take hours or weeks. While it was running I continued to reflect on mathematical elegance, which led to a hypothesis which (if true) would make the problem vastly simpler. At this point I noticed that I was too late: the Turk had beaten me to it and found a solution by something hardly more elegant than brute force. I didn't time it, but it came out in under 2 days. But I tried the improved hypothesis anyway, just to see what happened. It found the solution in about 2 seconds. [edit 2021: subsequent research revealed an even more SATisfactory method that can solve it in just over 0.2 seconds] Anyway, thanks to Mr Crow for another fine puzzle, and a favourite for the educational content and the annoyingly ingenious hide. PS Incidentally, while looking for a neat way to solve this problem I really did discover some related ideas which have been studied by serious mathematicians, some of them Hungarian. I'm not giving anything away by describing them, as in the end they were No Use At All. **Sidon sequences** are sets of numbers chosen so that if you take them in pairs, no two pairs have the same sum. **Golomb rulers** are sets of numbers such that no two pairs have the same difference. A **perfect Golomb ruler** can generate all differences up to its length. No perfect rulers exist with more than 5 elements. All Sidon sequences are Golomb rulers, and vice versa. All very interesting, and yes, they do have practical applications, but no use here. |
... | RR171 | GLFYC0J3 | RR171 - Int16 | Found it | StratOman | Bugger, knew I should have picked up the cache BEFORE my morning walk with the Brentwood ramblers Wonderful little puzzle which required a very big hammer to crack. Still amazes me that it only has one solution. No trouble at GZ except the grinning_budda's signature . Must listen to my caching partner Deebooted next time when she says "it will be gone this morning" This has inspired me to look back at my unsolved RR catalogue with the winter evenings looming.

... | RR171 | GLFYFPE4 | RR171 - Int16 | Write note | Mr Crow | Excellent and educational log grinning_buddha. Thanks |
... | RR171 | GLFYGK6Q | RR171 - Int16 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Out of our depth here. StratOman's efforts produced a far quicker method than we could even comprehend. We would sadly have taken months to arrive at any conclusion. Cut to the chase and we warned StratOman that as it had a solver the FTF would go on the Saturday. So we all went walking in the morning instead of rushing over to Crowland which resulted in both a second to solve and second to find. Congrats to buddha for getting there first. At GZ the clue reminded us of that old saying "as much use as a chocolate teapot" but the old cachers nose came in damm useful along with an accurate GPS. The cache was in hand quickly. TFTC and another puzzle for our team. |

It was a lovely walk with plenty of caches to break up the journey and the weather was glorious for late October - far too warm for my ski jacket! Along the way there were sightings of brent geese, curlew, redshanks, shelducks, various pipits, an as-yet-unidentified tern (photos taken, will investigate!) and marsh harriers along with the occasional lesser-spotted human. I did manage to overtake one couple three times at one point - I'm sure they were only slightly confused! Most caches were found without a problem although one was missing the main part and one log was soggy (I replaced this). Thanks for the series Mr Crow - I'm slowly working my way through them all!

It was a lovely walk with plenty of caches to break up the journey and the weather was glorious for late October - far too warm for my ski jacket! Along the way there were sightings of brent geese, curlew, redshanks, shelducks, various pipits, an as-yet-unidentified tern (photos taken, will investigate!) and marsh harriers along with the occasional lesser-spotted human. I did manage to overtake one couple three times at one point - I'm sure they were only slightly confused! Most caches were found without a problem although one was missing the main part and one log was soggy (I replaced this). Thanks for the series Mr Crow - I'm slowly working my way through them all!

For those nearby that have not picked this up because the the owner...they are away on holiday at the moment, returning Saturday evening...get in quick if you want to visit with little hassle :) |
... | RR172X | GLG00BPP | RR172 - Knight Cache | Write note | foxscout | Solved...I think...but a recent mishap means no cycling and it is a little far to walk Good luck to the FTF. |
... | RR172X | GLG00Q9T | RR172 - Knight Cache | Write note | Mr Crow | Hey! Lots of people already cracking this one. Bit of a walk though. |
... | RR172X | GLG00QYW | RR172 - Knight Cache | Write note | grinning_buddha | This time a week ago I had some free time and it was still light enough to find RR114(2). Today... Good luck to the FTF! |
... | RR172X | GLG01VXJ | RR172 - Knight Cache | Found it | foxscout | (FTF) It's been a while since I have looked at a Rally Round. I don't have as much free time as I used to but after a mishap last week I am unable to cycle or climb at the moment and was catching up on some logging when a new Rally Round appeared in my inbox. A quick look at it revealed a very nice puzzle I grabbed some things from my puzzle solving box and set to work. My first, second and third go were fruitless. I stared at it. Maybe I could do it just by looking... When I was small my Dad used to set me puzzles like this and I have always been fascinated by the knight in chess. Who decided on it's move? Why did they choose that combination? Suddenly I had it. I checked and double checked and then plotted it... Lovely! I didn't expect to have a chance to go and look for it for a while. But I had chocolate fudge cake cooling in the kitchen and I knew Heinz would soon be here to collect it. The cake was a sorry for instantly finding a cache last night and spoiling the fun of a lengthy and maybe fruitless search!!! No such problem this evening. I liked the walk to GZ in the moonlight and once there we had an appropriate length search before I spotted the very nicely hidden cache Thank you so much for the puzzle and for really nice cache Mr Crow. Favourite point awarded! |
... | RR172X | GLG02A0W | RR172 - Knight Cache | Found it | HeinzBeanz | With the promise of tasty chocolate brownies from Foxy i was on my way to pick it up and stuff my face. A message was sent earlier saying that she had solved this cache and that i needed to get on it so that we could go pick it up when i picked up the brownies, so i did. I played lots of chess when i was younger for schools, competitions and all that but not for a few years now. Liked the puzzle and didn't take too long to solve.
Straight from work i picked up Foxy and my brownies and we headed to the GZ, neither of us checked the coords but we were fairly sure we were right. Was a nice walked to the GZ and the moon was pretty bright that we didn't need our torch for most of the walk. Short search at the GZ and foxy came up with the goods, struggled to open the container but we got there in the end. She unrolled the log to reveal a nice clean sheet for team The Fox's Beanz to sign. Well chuffed i tucked into one of the brownies i brought along for the trip to celebrate.

05 Nov 2014 | RR125X | GLG1X5VQ | RR125 - Five Diamonds 2 | Found it | StratOman | Did this failry easy puzzle 12 months ago but had little faith Following the new hints I realised I was right all along , penny just didn't drop. At GZ had a choice of brambles or crawling on hands and knees, chose the later TFTC |
... | RR125X | GLG21JJ9 | RR125 - Five Diamonds 2 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Our puzzle team member StratOman said he was in a fix with these Five Diamonds series some time ago so we left them on the back burner all this time. A new hint and Bingo it all fell into place and even we understood it! Cannot believe we missed the follow on of RR124 either! Bah! Today if was StratOman to the rescue at GZ with decent knees for the collection of the cache itself. TFTC |
... | RR126X | GLG1X65F | RR126 - Five Diamonds 3 | Found it | StratOman | Another fairly easy puzzle ... On a roll now with Deebooted & I doing the field puzzle between us. Easy find at GZ. TFTC |
... | RR126X | GLG21JXW | RR126 - Five Diamonds 3 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | On a roller with the team work for the field puzzles already we headed off to grab this one with ease. TFTC |
... | RR127X | GLG1X6ED | RR127 - Five Diamonds 4 | Found it | StratOman | Much trickier puzzle that I only solved with the latest very generous hint. It was now getting dark so Deebooted & I were solving the field puzzle under torch light. Another bit of crawling on hand & knees to get the cache. TFTC |
... | RR127X | GLG21K4E | RR127 - Five Diamonds 4 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Armed with a decent torch and plenty of enthusiasm we managed this one even though more tricky. another for StratOman's retrieval at GZ. TFTC |
... | RR128X | GLG1X6R7 | RR128 - Five Diamonds 5 | Found it | StratOman | Another tricky puzzle which Deebooted tackled while I wrote down the answer. Now pitched dark and the GPS had decided to pack up when we approached GZ. Thankfully cachers eyes spotted the hide and the final cache of the series was signed.
Wonderful series, very cleverly thought out. Delighted to get five smiling faces on the map ... TFTC and favourite |
... | RR128X | GLG21KKT | RR128 - Five Diamonds 5 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | Team work proving successful here along with careful placement of duties in the dark. GPS's both froze here for some odd reason so we couldn't get closer than 40 plus feet! Shone the powerful torch around the area and spotted a likely host. Correct! There it was. TFTC. A favourite for the series now we have managed to do them! |
... | RR170 | GLG1Y1BM | RR170 - Navigator 1 | Found it | deebooted & ATM | FTF A real team effort here with all three contributing along the way. Taking a first look and trying to find out some elusive facts we had an idea where the search was to begin, but StratOman had a look and said "No" When discussing it again we persisted he take a further look and it turned out that although we thought we knew, we were a bit out in our idea, but were indeed up the right track. After he found what we were after the troubles were not over and finding all the rights bits to make sense took a real team effort with bunter on messenger as it all developed into a set of co ords. There was one we were not happy with so when the checker said "No" we knew which number was wrong. Another few minutes and we were there with the checker saying "Yes!" Easy find at GZ and a smile to our faces. TFTC and a favourite point. Nice to see the old photos too of people we remember form our rallying days. |
... | RR170 | GLG1Y5TD | RR170 - Navigator 1 | Found it | StratOman | Puzzle of two parts , so good job we had the skills in our team to tackle both. An idea from Deebooted lead to a fruitful discovery, although for the wrong reason. Over to my caching partners for the next tricky bit , which I confess I am hopeless at. Finally after many Facebook messages we had a set of coordinates. Easy find at GZ TFTC and favourite This entry was edited by StratOman on Friday, 07 November 2014 at 10:16:25 UTC. |

Thanks to the generous hint from the checker, this was soon in hand.
TFTC. |
... | RR002 | GLG293XQ | RR002 - Water Tower | Found it | grinning_buddha | I solved this a while ago, when the solution just appeared as if from nowhere.
As I was in the area today chasing (unsuccessfully) a FTF on RR173, it was time for a visit, and that's where things went a little bit wrong. After following the arrow to the middle of a large field, with no hint of a cache within half a mile, I sat down and solved it again. This time I wrote down what was actually there, and remembered to add the offset, and finally all was well. After a short but muddy walk the pot quickly appeared from its mossy environment and the log was duly signed.
TFTC. |
... | RR099X | GLG291NW | RR099 - A Big Number | Found it | grinning_buddha | I solved this a while ago (a number's just a number, no matter how big ) but as I was in the area today chasing (unsuccessfully) a FTF on RR173, it was time for a visit. Interestingly I found the pot on the ground in front of its hiding place. Maybe something is trying to nest there? Replaced, with a big stone in front of it - let's see if that deters whatever it is. TFTC. |
... | RR111 | GLG296YQ | RR111 - Hole In Tree | Found it | grinning_buddha | I solved this a while ago - a digital substitute for patience soon yielded something I could count on - and it went on the "solved" pile. As I was in the area today, it was time for a visit. The accurate coords and generous hint soon revealed a pot, and another signature went in the log.

... | RR156 | GLG39X26 | RR156 - Krowpki | Found it | foxscout | I hadn't seen this type of puzzle before and stared it for a while before delving into my puzzle solving box... My printer was out of ink and I reached for my squared paper pad and coloured pencils. I soon had a grid that looked very similar to the one on the cache page. Now the fun began... There was lots of scribbing... Lots of head scratching... Followed by lots of rubbing out I'd get almost to the end and then get to a bit I just could not resolve! For weeks this sat on my bedside table. I kept picking it up and then getting stuck at the same bit...near the K! What was wrong? Was anything wrong? Suddenly I spotted it! I had copied the grid wrong!!! I corrected my small mistake and off I went again... This time the grid filled! I starred at it. I didn't believe it and thought I must have made a mistake... Had I made a mistake? My eyes scrolled across the lines, checking...no everything looked good. I entered my numbers into the checker and got the lovely 'correct' message It was then that I spotted an error...and another...oh no! I tried swapping the two but that only made it worse... This was all sometime ago and I have since completed the grid correctly! Today I was nearby and had the chance to stop and have a look for this. As I arrived at GZ I remembered there had been a location clue...I thought for a moment and remembered and went straight to the cache. Love the colour I signed and carefully replaced the log. Thank you for another different type of puzzle Mr Crow! Favourite point awarded for a very enjoyable puzzle! |
... | RR157 | GLGD5T18 | RR157 - Proximity Rules | Found it | foxscout | This is the type of puzzle I love. I grabbed my puzzle solving box and began drawing out the grid. I checked and double checked. It wouldn't be the first time I had spent ages trying to solve a puzzle only to realise I had a mistake on the grid It began well and I thought this won't take long... How wrong was I I was soon stuck... I went over my grid in pen there was going to be a lot of rubbing out! Arghhhh! After an infuriating few days this was filed under unsolved puzzles! And there it has sat. Every now and then I see it as I flick through my book...and a quick look hadn't revealed the way forward...then this week with lots of time on my hands, I had another look. This time with renewed determination and an awful lot of rubbing out, it has all fallen into place! I didn't believe it. There must be a mistake I wondered about GZ, was I in the right place? But after a little look in a few places I spotted it. I signed and carefully replaced the cache! Now to dig out all the pieces of In-Verse!!! Thank you for the puzzle and cache Mr Crow |
... | RR164 | GLG295AC | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | grinning_buddha | This is my specialist subject too, so a solution soon emerged. I solved this a while ago but as I was in the area today chasing (unsuccessfully) a FTF on RR173, it was time for a visit.
The unusual container eventually disgorged its contents (recent damp weather has made it a bit reluctant to open) and I signed accordingly.
TFTC and a favourite (to Kitty!! ?) for the container. |
... | RR164 | GLG3AAKM | RR164 - Hertz A Lot | Found it | foxscout | I have a list of things I do when I see a new puzzle. I grabbed some paper and a pencil and began... I was pretty sure I knew what to do here but after a few scribbles nothing looked right. I moved onto another item on the list. Very quickly I discovered something else. Much scribbling later and after numerous hours spent listening and trying to decipher the strange language that eminated from my lap top speakers and I was still none the wiser... ... ... Hmmmm... Now I know the Crow is sneaky and I am very determined...so for months I have tried... ...and failed at this! I kept thinking about what I had found out. Could it just be a coincidence? Surely not...I mean what are the chances of that? I dwelled on this. Working out the probabilty might have been easier than solving this I have decided that sometimes a hint isn't a hint. Sometimes a hint leads me to spend ages barking up a wrong tree After months of listening to chit chat from a warmer clime, I said 'elveda' to my puzzle solving companions and finally had a plot! The plot looked good! The checker thought otherwise and gave me a white error page. But today at GZ I found a wonderful little cache waiting for me! Thank you for a fun puzzle Mr Crow! I made this one so much harder than it should have been |
... | RR173X | GLG27FZX | RR173 - Seventh Limb | Found it | gillywig | Really good puzzle which was solved with a piece of good fortune. Out and about early in Colchester with a need to be back around midday but surley there's time to pop here. Remembered where to park(or where not to park!) and made the pleasant if squelshy in parts walk to gz. A little anxious at one point as no co-ords but pacing brought me within six foot(one way or the other). A clean log signed and the cache replaced. Took in the quite good veiw around and then returned to the car. No sign of gb, suspect he came from the other direction.
TFTC a favourite |
... | RR173X | GLG28ZEV | RR173 - Seventh Limb | Found it | grinning_buddha | For once the solution part was straightforward, being based on three things I happened to be aware of already, so I soon had a set of coordinates. Even so, there was a little embedded lesson about the trustworthiness of sources... Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit on Friday, having already blown my spare hours on a flying_buddha activity, so Saturday saw me venture out bright and (for me) early on a surprisingly bright and sunny day, given the weather forecast. I strolled gently to a location for which no hint was needed only to find that it had already been visited, a mere 10 minutes earlier according to the log. No sign of Gillywig, suspect he came from the other direction. So no celebratory Charleston for me today TFTC nevertheless. No Js, Ks, Qs, Xs or Zs were harmed in creating this log. |
... | RR173X | GLGCMXA3 | RR173 - Seventh Limb | Found it | foxscout | This has been a long time in the solving. At the very beginning I spent a fun evening barking up the wrong tree. Which led to some new discoveries and some new additions to my puzzle solving box. The second evening was more productive and by the end of it I had a wonderful page of scribbles. There this has sat... I just could not see what to do next... Last night whilst waiting for dinner, I was passed a nice glass of bubbles and I had an idea... I went back to my first thoughts on the puzzle. This did not bring the answer but I did spot something I had not noticed before... Could it be that was the answer? A bit of research and a bit of tinkering and I was pretty sure I had it... Dinner was about to be served and I just had time to check my plot. Perfect! I have thoroughly enjoyed solving this puzzle It has many different aspects and at most turns I took the wrong one I really enjoyed the walk to GZ, the sun was shining and I splashed my way through the puddles. Once there this very neatly hidden cache was soon spotted. Thank you for a very nicely crafted puzzle and for placing this cache Mr Crow! Favourite point awarded! |
09 Nov 2014 | RR051X | GLG2V688 | RR051 - RGB | Found it | jollyquest | Solved August 2013. It took about 5 mins to solve the puzzle - longer to work out the location anagram. The cache is well hidden and prickly to access. TFTC |
... | RR074 | GLG2TPPB | RR074 - Dial-A-Ride | Found it | jollyquest | Solved August 2013. The first of 8 RR puzzles found on today's sortie to Crow Country. Good Title! The puzzle and hint anagrams were solved relatively easily, which lead to a quick solution. TFTC |
... | RR081X | GLG2V4KC | RR081 - Blank Look | Found it | jollyquest | We spent ages at the GZ searching without the hint. There was a succession of interruptions from cars, walkers, and a lost muggle who got directions to Great Totham. Then found the decoded hint in the "Mr Crow file", which lead us to the one place we hadn't searched. TFTC |
... | RR091 | GLG2VRDM | RR091 - Susan Fellgate | Found it | gspleo | First looked at this over a year ago but did not have the necessary reference material. Went on a waiting list and finally it arrived last week. Definitely worth waiting for and thus I am awarding a favourite. Reference material digested and off today to GZ where we had a quick find. This is a great location which I have visited many times before. Thanks for the cache and a great read. |
... | RR091 | GLG2VW33 | RR091 - Susan Fellgate | Found it | Marley2012 | Found on a caching expedition with gspleo. TFTC |
... | RR136 | GLG2V214 | RR136 - Hidato | Found it | jollyquest | Solved January 2014. We both had a go at this one, and both failed with our initial solution. The second attempts were more successful. Thanks for the puzzle and a quick find at the GZ. |
... | RR146X | GLG2V0M1 | RR146 - Stamp Out Crow | Found it | jollyquest | Mr J spent hours on this puzzle and eventually got the solution without using the key. However, this was only achieved after a generous hint from Mr Crow who admitted in his email that "I do like solvers to suffer." Thanks for the puzzle, and have a Favourite for the challenge and the letter box final. |
... | RR159 | GLG2VAD5 | RR159 - Magnets | Found it | jollyquest | We both solved the puzzle the day after publication. This was the first time we have encountered this type of 'Sudoku' puzzle. Even with the magnets solved it still took a while to work out how to get the coords. We came prepared for the bonus puzzle, but we have the details to solve at home now. TFTC |
... | RR165 | GLG2VC5N | RR165 - Mast-er Cacher | Found it | jollyquest | Solved 27/7/14. Mr J quickly got coordinates for this cache but GZ Checker didn't like them. Not deterred, we went for the cache this afternoon and found it hidden where expected. TFTC |
... | RR168X | GLG2TTW1 | RR168 - Birth Day Crossword | Found it | jollyquest | We have never solved a Times Crossword before. Some of our answers seemed a little strange, but it is a LONG time since this crossword was set. An interesting cache container! TFTC |

Today was another blank day on my calendar and I decided after much deliberation to attempt this series. The terrain was pleasingly good going until I trekked to the bonus and original no. 1 cache where mud took over a little. Some great views over the fields and at one cache I spotted a Sparrowhawk land a mere ten feet away. Sadly it spotted me and didn't hang around but was it was still a great sighting!
All caches were found without much bother and all were in reasonably good nick with one exception.
A quick detour off route to pick up this long-solved puzzle. Can't recall now how I solved it, or indeed when that might have occurred but I suspect it was a good 12 months ago! No problems at GZ - surprised to find no finders in nearly 8 months!

16 Nov 2014 | CN | GLG4ACN6 | Crow's Nest | Found it | frenchboy | On the way to The Chequers at Goldhanger for Scarecrow Rog's **th birthday bash, so even though it was raining, we couldn't resist the temptation of a "Large", so took a slight diversion to the Crow's Nest. Don't think there were any crows about, but a great cache, worth a Fave Point. Took 3 TBs and dropped 2. TFTC. |
... | RR141 | GLG466PP | RR141 - Palettable | Found it | julietr4 | Probably went the very long way round to solving this one. Had spent far too much time trying different methods rather than research. Great to get there in the end and another fantastic puzzle from CO. Another fav from us. This one also being the 3 of the 3,2,1 of our 1000 consecutive days countdown. SL. TFTC. # 2252 |
17 Nov 2014 | RR118 | GLG53E68 | RR118 - Board Game 5 | Found it | julietr4 | We had been desperately been trying to solve another RR to have as No. 2 of the 3,2,1 of our 1000 consecutive days countdown. Luckily JT spotted and solved within the required time frame to grab on the way home today. Cache found safe and sound. Another fav from us. SL. TFTC. # 2253 |
18 Nov 2014 | RR154 | GLG53GJW | RR154 - Times Old Roman | Found it | julietr4 | Wow what a puzzle definitely a fav from us. We had saved this one since solving to be our 1000th cache in our at least one a day streak. Thanks to the CO and everyone else who has enabled us to achieve this target. Perhaps we will have a Christmas and New Year at home this year?? Cache found safe and sound. SL TFTC. # 2254. |

22 Nov 2014 | E122 | GLG5AWNQ | Essex 100 - 1/22 - Heart | Found it | BBsGeo77 | On a grey and damp Saturday, chance to knock off another section of this series. Mud flats along the estuary are 'teaming' with migratory birds to enjoy. Number 1 for the day soon found. TFTC SL |
... | E202 | GLG5AXCT | Essex 100 - 2/02 - Thorny | Found it | BBsGeo77 | Number 2 on this wet Saturday morning. Lots of migratory birds on the 'mud flats'. This GC was laying in the open. Based on the hint on attached where it should be. SL log and covered it where I found it. Coords were accurate. Worth checking its location. TFTC |

25 Nov 2014 | RR170 | GLG630JM | RR170 - Navigator 1 | Found it | gillywig | Eventually stumbled upon what was needed to enter the competition. Some of the guessable stages were soon completed but the more difficult ones were a real challenge. Needing three I hit Google Earth and a bit of terrain recci-ing but further searching was definitely required. One more found, one more educationally guessed and a few spot checks before the finish. Today after RR175, parked and made a bit of a horlicks of finding as path notes not up to scratch. Relocated and started this stage again. Soon found this time though not where expected. SL and returned as intended. "Image based caches are not my forte", I seem to recall the co once saying. Well, this is a classic image based cache in more ways than one. Great photos, good fun. TFTC |
... | RR175 | GLG62WCB | RR175 - PolyMath | Found it | gillywig | Noticed this yesterday after work. Two questions did not have a green correct so attempted them first. One took a while and when rechecked all had greens. Worked through the rest from Q1. Some help from the net, one I knew and the rest of the first 13 solved as University Challenge began. Some absolute gems here. Continued solving post Only Connect and stalled. Once Q15 solved a bit of reverse engineering and all done. Couldn't get the checker to confirm at first despite being sure of the location. (I was digitally challenged)
Day off Tuesday, convieniently and arrived post noon for a 3rd ftf of the day. Soon signed and returned.
A great set of questions each of which gave real satisfaction when resolved. I had recently solved a Cambridge puzzle using a record number of excel rows but this plunged new depths. Thanks for the mind streching. A unquestionable favourite.
Favourite question? Hard to say. Q3 Q9 or Q13 maybe. The longest to solve Q15 by a margin.

27 Nov 2014 | RR259X | GLG6BGQ0 | RR259 - Great Braxted Wall - 3 | Found it | RachelnRedd | After a hearty lunch at the New Times in Tiptree, I had already planned to take my parents' dog for this walk this afternoon, and was armed with the information all printed out. We didn't start until 2.30 so I was rather aware of the gathering gloom, as well as the previous few days rain taking its toll on the footpaths, but this all added to the adventure. Parked as suggested, found the first micro ok even though there was a muggle in a car also parked in the parking area, but he was handily screened by bushes so the micro was a quick spot and I was fairly sure what I had to do with the numbers. Then on along the footpath to the next micros, all found swiftly although the second one I tripped over a branch in my eagerness to get to the location and fell flat on my face! Numbers being entered into the grid seemed logical so I was happy that I should be able to get some good plots for the caches. As I found micro # 3 an owl hooted nearby, just along the wall, well, I knew the afternoon was coming on but maybe it was a tad early! Ok, now to do the maths. Soon plotted a likely looking GZ for cache 1. However, in view of time constraints I went straight for number 3, with a view to returning very soon to get numbers 1 and 2. When I returned to the car I realised I had hung the dog's lead up in the tree right by micro # 3, so would need to return sooner than probably anticipated. A lovely hide, found straight away. Camo bag very wet but cache and contents all dry. SL, TNLN. Now back along the path towards cache 4. Thanks for the series, leaving fav point here, a lovely walk in beautiful surroundings. |
... | RR260X | GLG6BHNR | RR260 - Great Braxted Wall - 4 | Found it | RachelnRedd | See today's main log at #3. Wading and splashing along the footpath on the return journey, just before this cache I had to squeeze past a huge puddle and then got caught in a tough bramble, I thought I would never get free, even the dog came back and starting yowling as she thought I was stopping yet again. The GPS had me going backwards and forwards here, despite the hint, everywhere was covered in a thick layer of very wet fallen leaves, but cache found after a couple of moments, doh, obvious really! Another nice dry pot in good condition. Thanks very much for placing as part of this great series. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR261X | GLG6BJCJ | RR261 - Great Braxted Wall - 5 | Found it | RachelnRedd | See today's main log at #3. After more wading, this pot was a quick spot. No camo bag but under a good bit of wood in its hiding place. So many pheasants along this walk, luckily dog didn't chase them. Now realised I left the dog's lead back at micro #3, really don't want to go back today, legs really aching so hot footing it back to the car, still three caches left to get another day. Must keep the co-ordinates safe! Thanks for this great series, really enjoyabLe and loved the wall too! Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
28 Nov 2014 | 1111 | GLG6FBG3 | 1-1-11 (Bridge) | Found it | RachelnRedd | On a mission today with claresunny to pick up as many of the local caches as we could, as I needed to return to the area to pick up a dog lead . Parked right by the A12 bridge and this was our first find. Clare spotted a kingfisher darting away as we climbed up the steps, although I was too busy looking at the GPS. Luckily the nettles had mostly died away, and the cache was a quick find once I got under. Great pot!! Thanks for placing this nice sized cache and for giving us a good start to our walk.

... | 1111 | GLGE7YFW | 1-1-11 (Bridge) | Found it | claresunny | Out with Rachel'n'Rio, she braved the nettles (the ones which were still there anyway) and I managed to spot a Kingfisher. TFTC! |
... | 1111-2 | GLGE7YAA | 11-1-11 (Stairs) | Found it | claresunny | My second find of the day, before heading off on foot. TFTC! |
... | RR034 | GLG6DXNW | RR034 - Proxim.Ity.me.uk | Write note | MrCryptic | Phew! That location anagram was a tricky one! ;) |
... | RR257X | GLG6FH29 | RR257 - Great Braxted Wall 1 | Found it | RachelnRedd | I knew I needed to return to collect the rest in this series, my time having been restricted yesterday, but probably wouldn't have come back so quickly if I hadn't left a dog lead behind at micro # 3! But today, with claresunny accompanying me, we approached the series from the golf club end, having walked a rather zig zag route from 1-1-11. I let Clare see where this one was, on the proviso that she collected up the numbers from the micros and worked them all out on the grid, which she did. Looking at the right level after a few minutes, I spotted this cache. Another nice dry pot, a real achievement especially given the conditions under foot! Thanks for placing this great series.

... | RR257X | GLGE804J | RR257 - Great Braxted Wall 1 | Found it | claresunny | With Rachel'n'Rio, who had already worked out the co-ords, so had to give me a bit of time to work them out. She had left the dog lead behind yesterday, so we had to find that on our searches. TFTC! |
... | RR258X | GLG6FJAP | RR258 - Great Braxted Wall - 2 | Found it | RachelnRedd | Onward along this lovely trail, the autumn colours looking amazing. Loved the occasional gates in the walls, look like the Secret Garden. Also spotted some of the date plaques left by the wall builders, one near here was 1831, amazing. The camo bag was infested in creepy crawlies, but once I gingerly extracted the box, it was dry and in good condition. And a few yards along from here - lo and behold, the missing dog lead! Mission accomplished! Just the final cache to go - and I knew it was going to be a special one! TFTC. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR258X | GLGE80CW | RR258 - Great Braxted Wall - 2 | Found it | claresunny | Another successful find, the wall was amazing, I can't believe how far it goes on for! I was concerned about some of it falling though. TFTC! |
... | RR259X | GLGE80KH | RR259 - Great Braxted Wall - 3 | Found it | claresunny | Rachel'n'Rio had already found this, so I was left to grab it myself, which was quickly done. TFTC! |
... | RR260X | GLGE80TX | RR260 - Great Braxted Wall - 4 | Found it | claresunny | Still very bog like today, so the pace slowed here, but I was still able to locate the cache. TFTC! |

... | RR262X | GLG6FM4Z | RR262 - Great Braxted Wall - 6 | Found it | RachelnRedd | Was very excited approaching this cache as not only would it be my final find of this lovely series, but it would be my 3,000th cache! Squishing up the path, drastically leaning wall on one side, lovely trees in their autumn colours, my GPS homed in on a certain GZ which it certainly did not take me to yesterday (told you my maths was dodgy . Everywhere was full of damp leaves but I scrabbled away and very quickly revealed the pot. Another lovely pot, nice and dry, I signed the log and left a comment in the notebook too. Clare took a memorial photo and then we stopped nearby for a well- deserved picnic. 3,000! Woohoo! Thanks for placing this great series, so pleased to have completed it, even if it took two visits. A great location and the wall was amazing! Fav point. Check out UK Mega Essex 2015 the 8th Annual UK Mega Event! |
... | RR262X | GLGE818V | RR262 - Great Braxted Wall - 6 | Found it | claresunny | Rachel'n'Rio was unable to find this the previous day, so was keen to get it, especially as it was her 3,000th. With two GPS's, we located it and she pulled it out. We paused here for a picnic, before continuing our walk. TFTC! |

... | Q2 | GLG73GQQ | Q2 - capItal cItIes | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 was spending the morning paintballing near Billericay for a birthday party, so, rather than return home, I decided to collect a few caches before going back to pick him up, as I don't have many smilies on the map in this area. Very mushy underfoot on most paths and fallen leaves made some finds more difficult, but still managed to get 12 in total. 11/12. I think this was my favourite of all the puzzles and I was especially proud that I got all but one of the answers without looking them up. The lower part of the path to GZ was a complete mudfest, requiring, very careful placing of the boot to avoid slippage or ending up ankle deep. Consolation was a very obvious hiding place, yet still with the cache well tucked away. SL, replaced then cautiously picked my way back. TFTC #1297 |
... | Q3 | GLG73FV9 | Q3 - Eight...Zero | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 was spending the morning paintballing near Billericay for a birthday party, so, rather than return home, I decided to collect a few caches before going back to pick him up, as I don't have many smilies on the map in this area. Very mushy underfoot on most paths and fallen leaves made some finds more difficult, but still managed to get 12 in total. 10/12. Solved 4 of the 5 puzzles in this series last night (and the 5th one has to be solved on site), so came to find them today. Path treacherous in places and lots of possibilities at GZ. Had forgotten to check the hint and no 3G for the iPhone but then recalled something from my solving session and a bit of footwork revealed the treasure. SL and replaced. TFTC #1296 |
... | Q4 | GLG73HCH | Q4 - Alphabits | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 was spending the morning paintballing near Billericay for a birthday party, so, rather than return home, I decided to collect a few caches before going back to pick him up, as I don't have many smilies on the map in this area. Very mushy underfoot on most paths and fallen leaves made some finds more difficult, but still managed to get 12 in total. 12/12. Running out of time before the party ended, but felt I could just dash along and get this one before the pickup time. Hoping for an easy grab at GZ, but GPSr jumping about and lots of trees to choose from. Finally, it settled and I found the container (more of a regular than a small, I would say) on the floor, so quickly signed and replaced in its obvious space, before sprinting back to the geomobile. Fav point for an enjoyable little series of puzzles - will be back for #1 another day. TFTC #1298 |
... | Q5 | GLG73FBG | Q5 - Reciprocity | Found it | Peverel Blue | Hatfield12 was spending the morning paintballing near Billericay for a birthday party, so, rather than return home, I decided to collect a few caches before going back to pick him up, as I don't have many smilies on the map in this area. Very mushy underfoot on most paths and fallen leaves made some finds more difficult, but still managed to get 12 in total. 9/12. Solved 4 of the 5 puzzles in this series last night (and the 5th one has to be solved on site), so came to find them today. This was a simple puzzle, but with the ditch at GZ carrying a fair bit of rainwater, some straddling was needed to get in a position to search. Scrabbled around in a few wrong spots before spotting a familiar Crow fabrication. Duly signed and replaced. TFTC #1295 |

... | E208 | GLG83MF7 | Essex 100 - 2/08 - Beach | Found it | BBsGeo77 | A bright sunny morning and a chance to pick up a couple of outlying GC not accessible en-route previous weeks due to FP through ditch full of water. The tide was in for a change - no mud and again lots of birdlife. Found eventually as some fisherman made it a little trickier than need be. TFTC SL |
07 Dec 2014 | CM831 | GLG84AG1 | Church Micro 831 - Little Totham Evangelical | Found it | Peverel Blue | Nipped out this afternoon to get a couple of CMs that have been on the list for a while, plus a couple from the Tolleshunt Major series that I failed to complete when PB Jnr's legs got too tired. Weather was variable, starting off blustery and wet but ending in a glorious, clear sunset. 2/4. Went the wrong way at first from CM #830, and found no way through, but retraced my steps and soon found myself heading in the right direction. Mushy terrain in places, but quite dry at GZ and a nice quick find. Was very careful to replace as found with plenty of camo. Have added a photo of the rather unremarkable church. TFTC #1304 |
... | CM831A | GLG8495R | Church Micro 830 - Little Totham - Revisited | Found it | Peverel Blue | Nipped out this afternoon to get a couple of CMs that have been on the list for a while, plus a couple from the Tolleshunt Major series that I failed to complete when PB Jnr's legs got too tired. Weather was variable, starting off blustery and wet but ending in a glorious, clear sunset. 1/4. Enjoyed solving the puzzles this morning and loaded up the coords. Had a good idea where the cache locations were but was not sure how to approach. Made the error of not parking at the church itself but at the pub down the road. Still found a way through to GZ with the help of some directions from local youths on scrambler motorbikes. Very slippy under foot, especially around the bridge. GPSr showing 8m, but spotted a location matching the hint and with a bit of rummaging, unearthed the cache. Emptied out some water from the container, but log dry. Replaced well hidden as found. TFTC #1303 |
... | TMT08 | GLG84F78 | Tolleshunt Major Tour 8 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Nipped out this afternoon to get a couple of CMs that have been on the list for a while, plus a couple from the Tolleshunt Major series that I failed to complete when PB Jnr's legs got too tired. Weather was variable, starting off blustery and wet but ending in a glorious, clear sunset. 4/4. A bit squishy on the way to this one, once I'd found the path, but rewarded with a straightforward find and some lovely views (photos added). Met another walker on my way back, also enjoying the fresh winter air. TFTC #1306 |
... | TMT09 | GLG84DVQ | Tolleshunt Major Tour 9 | Found it | Peverel Blue | Nipped out this afternoon to get a couple of CMs that have been on the list for a while, plus a couple from the Tolleshunt Major series that I failed to complete when PB Jnr's legs got too tired. Weather was variable, starting off blustery and wet but ending in a glorious, clear sunset. 3/4. Nice, easy find here. Remember coming here once before and failing to find the cache but being confronted by a big dog, leading to us making a hasty retreat. No such problems today and have added a photo of the view near GZ. Pressed on from here to grab #8 as well. TFTC #1305 |
