Another nice straight forward find here. I dropped a trackable. Tftc

I enjoyed a very pleasant walk around this nature reserve today. It was lovely and quiet and i didnt see anyone else here. Another place i probably would not have visited if it wasnt for geocaching so thanks for bringing me here. All the caches were found easily enough and were in good condition. I wasnt in a hurry so we spent 1.5 hours walking around which my dogs enjoyed. When i got back to the car it started spitting and by the time i left it was raining very heavily and didnt stop all day so i timed it perfectly. Have a fave point. Tftc

I actually found 2 caches here so i signed and replaced both of them as found. Both were in good condition. Tftc

Found after completing the lab.

Saturday caching with David. Wasn’t able to get out with Mark due to water logged series. David and I went for North Essex drive byes and labs. My turn to drive today. Thanks to all the COs for setting.

Logs signed JJA.TFTC

Caching with Jazzyjessups, logging as JJA.
With all the rain that has fallen, wanted to keep today urban. Off to Essex to pick up some StratOman stuff and the odd AdLab.

A nice quick find here. With good hint

Many thanks to Mr Crow for placing this cache.

Today was the day I was expected from my first day on New Zealand. The first time I saw Mount Cook, highest point of my dream country. From Twizel we have a drive with some photo stops and than make some hikes. First was around Tasman glacer and second one was Hooker Valley track. Both of this was awesome and show me how bad is the climate crise. Thanks for open my eyes.

Thanks for this earthcache.
Greetings from Slovakia.

Found it after a nice and cold swim in the Hooker Lake

Roadtripping in NZ from Finland. We wanted to find as many as possible on our Hooker valley hike and this one was one of them! Quick find! TFTC!

Close to where we parked the car for the NaviCrow.
Thanks for the themed cache container.

I wasn’t able to solve the original version of Crowlympics and even with the assistance of Krähelympiade it still took several sessions of deep thought to get the green light.
On this visit to the GZ I crossed the fence and after checking several hosts found the cache deep in it's hidey hole. After brushing off the debris I was greeted by a blank log sheet in pristine condition. I'm very relieved to have finally solved and found this mystery cache.
This was a cache resuscitation after 6½ years!
TFTC

When it says "This NaviCrow will take you on a short stroll visiting all the roads within the 30 mph speed limit of Messing"
it does seem to visit every road in the village and passes every geocache and waypoint that Mr Crow has placed in this lovely place.
It took us 1h10m to get to the final on this fine afternoon.
Thanks for this NaviCrow.

After a little search the cache was soon found. The log was mush so photo taken and attached.

Thanks for this well placed and maintained cache Mr Crow

After a little search the cache was soon found with no lid and a mushy black log.

Thanks for this well placed and maintained cache Mr Crow

Great little hide! The boys loved this one ??

Really had to be brave to find this one - hidden very well !

I found it but it is in plane site - pushed it in

Great hide - the boys loved the magic tricks nail. Swapped

Lots of horns to search - quite a tricky one for us

Fantastic hide, quack quack

I do not understand this at all. I have solved coordinates for this one. They are on the way to Ms Kitty. But how? I'm fairly sure I haven't visited the cemetery. And if I had, surely I would have found the cache (and had very different numbers). I have no write note log, just a personal note that simply says "multi". It's a conundrum.

The coords that I did have were by a path but, when I got there, they were a bit too far off the path, no sign of a particularly big tree and I wasn't convinced that there was a cemetery nearby either.

After a brief hunt, I called it a day and moved on. But as luck would have it, I was passing the cemetery anyway. I didn't try finding the numbers but decided to go straight for a search for the hint item. Which I nearly missed, yeah, yeah, whatever. Fortunately, the cache itself was nice and easily spotted!

M

Ah, mystery solved, I can see why I changed the coords now, but with the lack of notes, didn't realise they weren't the final!

According to EWT website, site is currently closed. https://www.essexwt.org.uk/nature-reserves/oxley-meadow

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Nope, not a clue how this one was solved. Another one that must have been a long time ago. I really should solve a few more rally rounds, I haven't looked at any for, well, probably years and now some of the ones I did solve have been archived and renewed!

I didn't spot this one to start with. Two possible hosts yielded nothing and I feared that the lightning bolt that had taken out the tree might have done the same to the cache. Then I spotted another couple of potential hosts. Made my way over, and immediately spotted a likely hidey-hole.

M

I ended up here by accident really. I had planned to mooch around Colchester town centre but for about the first time ever, I hadn't actually checked for Greater Anglia service disruptions. Was nudged to do so by Dad Monster before I came out and...literally the only disruption is replacement buses between Ipswich and Colchester. Aargh.

Quick rethink. Need lots of caches, not too much mud, not overly far. Decided on Maldon. But as I was en route, I wondered if there was much around Tiptree and decided to cut short my journey and mooch around the Tiptree/Tolleshunt area.

First proper cache of a little walk here. I must have solved the puzzle absolutely ages ago. Not entirely sure how - my notes just say that the puzzle was solved quickly and then I spent months on the conversion and hammered the checker!

As to the find, I had a bit of a poke around with no luck and not feeling enthusiastic about any of the possible hosts. Decided to check out a few sneaky spots and soon hit paydirt!

M

A nice little stroll around Tolleshunt Knights picking up the labs and a few brucie bonus normal caches as well. Nice short walk to the final and a quick find here.

M

Nice little walk around Tiptree, picking up information on the way. I hadn't realised there was a bonus as the icon was hiding under the lab cache icon but fortunately saw the coords come up in the app. A bit more of a walk to the final just when I thought I had finished. No luck at first but then I applied cacher mind and thought about where it ought to be and had my hands on it immediately.

Not sure where the village sign has gone but quick find here

Took me a while to find it

Beautiful scenery, excellent place for a cache. TFTC

During our trip around NZ we also visited this valley. We found several caches here. Thank you. Greetings from the Czech republic

My second visit to look for this one. The first was during the summer months and the area was very overgrown. I should have paid more attention to the hint back then! Today I was determined to find it. Realised where it was likely to be having found other caches hidden in a similar way and so got myself into a position to see whether I was right. Glad there was no one else around to to see me.

Retrieved without too much trouble but getting back to terra firma was more of a struggle. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide, Mr Crow.

Very nice Place -Thx

Get in 2TB

Resus. 1985 days since its last find but 100 or so short of my best ever resus. I had looked at the puzzle a few times but did not get very far. knowing I was coming this way I tried again. Solving the first anagram helped me obtain a partial solution but not the cocordinates. The 'light bulb' moment finally arrived when I spotted something and the checker said yes. The final anagram was an easy solve but because I approached from the wrong path I liked the ICT as the host. Once I did spot the correct host I dug deep and retrieved a near perfect container. Unfortunately when i changed to walk here I failed to pick up my pen so I took a photo as proof.

Fim de semana prolongado pelo Algarve, numa das melhores alturas do ano para a visita: o Inverno!! Zero pessoas, turistas, confusão! Lugares de estacionamento everywhere! Montes de caches adiadas anos e anos, que uma pessoa nunca consegue desbastar isto! Mas tenta!

Beautiful little spot & away from the hoards of muggles walking the valley today. Took a while to locate the cache with so many hiding places. But found it eventually. Thanks for placing this one, appreciated the peace here.

Had to use the spoiler

Caching with my old caching buddy Annie while she was visiting down South: gave up , then found it buried in leaf litter . Replaced in roots of aforementioned horizontal tree . TFTC.

Fun clues, easily solved. That’s quite a distance from Clue to GZ! Thank you.

I didn't have too far to pace from 'the corner'. Came upon what I thought must be gz. Couldn't have been. I'll have to return.

I had a good idea what was going to be required here. Stage 1 was a struggle to progress, then Stage 2 wouldn't come clean (I was repeatedly missing). Stage 3 was what I first felt it must be, something I have used in the day job several years ago.
I found a tool which prevented a manual extraction, though I still had to do it in ten steps.

Gz had many possible hosts. I began to think I may have conjectured this just as easily. Then, thinking where would it be least likely to be dicovered accidently, wandered over and there it was.

SL 1/2/24 and wondered if in 10 years time I be still signing caches.

TFTC&P. Excellent Ray.

Search but no luck

Log about this cache:
A very nice walk, and a terror wind.


General log:
After years of planning and the canceling of trip due to the corona crisis, the time had finally come:
"more than 5 weeks in New Zealand".
And how beautiful it was!

Visited both the north and south islands, many tourist attractions have a cache nearby so I could do some as well.
Lots of virtuals and earth caches too and traditionals. But also done a few multi caches here and there also even a mystery and wherigo cache.

The trip to New Zealand was great and we saw a lot of nice places. The country has so many different types of landscapes. And the nice thing was that it is winter in the Netherlands but summer in New Zealand :-)
Too bad it takes so long to fly and that the flight is so expensive otherwise i can go here next year again.

Now you can enjoy it, logging the caches is also part of it. I will try to email the answers for the earthcaches and virtual caches to the relevant co`s as soon as possible. But first log all caches and upload the photos .

A beautiful, lovely hike on a just as great a day. The mountains had fresh snow on top! Needed the spoiler photo to find the cache. Once the photo was aligned, it was quite an easy find. Greetings from the Netherlands ????????

Too many possibilities today.

[483] Greetings from Taiwan. Enjoyed my hiking in the valley today. Discovered 2 TB.

I helped Mr Crow find this cache hide back in 2015 and never signed the log as it hadn't been published. Local cacher, drawp, has kindly maintained the cache for Mr Crow in our absence. After 8 years we are back again in Aoraki Mount Cook walking the Hooker Valley trail with dwarp and Mrs D. Cache refreshed. Have a favourite for the fantastic location. TFTC

Here in NZ on a 28-day holiday and of course had to visit the cache I had hidden 8 years ago. I had prepared a new triple-potted container to freshen the cache. Not strictly necessary because my NZ maintainer (drawp) had done an excellent job for me.
Very windy on the Hooker Valley today as drawp (and Mrs drawp) and Kitty!! accompanied me on the walk from the event we had organised today in Mt Cook Village.

It didn't take too long to find, but the spoiler pic does look a bit dated. Waypoint averaged the co-ordinates which are within 10ft of perfect. I have changed the hint to better describe the cache location.

Finally, thanks to drawp who we met in Oamaru for the first time yesterday and for his hospitality and kindness over the last two days and previous eight years.

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that we been to a cache featured in a novel!

The "spoiler" photo was key to finding this - before that, we were searching in a lot of places that might match the hint, but the photo narrowed it right down.

This seems to get visited a lot, so I dropped a travel bug,

We had to use the photo ????

Found with Dali87 within our amazing trip around New Zealand.
Thanks for nice cache :)

4-week family trip through NZ - Find #145!

This was the only difficult find on our hike along Hooker Valley Track. My son ChrisAngel99 and I searched around 10 minutes, climbing above and around the rocks, trying the somehow match the hint and spoiler photo with reality. When we finally identified the location, we saw that the bushes have grown considerably, making the rock in the spoiler much less prominent in reality . Of course, once we were sure of the location, the very well hidden cache (no way to see it among the bushes without the spoiler) was easy to find .

TFTC!

Finding this cache was a bit challenging, since it wasn't obvious where the hint and the spoiler were meant to lead us. After searching for a while and in a few different directions, my dad (baer2006) spotted the spoiler, which seems to have changed a bit over time.
Enjoyed the scenery! TFTC!

Way too many muggles for us to have a chance to look

Up-to-date spoiler photo attached, Find the Flat slab at the rear right of the tarn and you aren't far off.

Great Walk and found

Found earlier after much searching and the need to phone a friend. Found log to follow.

I thought I knew what was needed here. The first (new) part was soon done and the hint was understood. It took a long while before I worked out why there were 12! (!)
Searched two extremely likely potential hosts before admitting defeat and phoning a friend. When found I had looked nearby and missed it. Not sure how as it's in plain sight.
SL All good TFTC&P.

Walking the track with my daughter's family (Sherbetweb), once again my grandson (Lochie) found the cache. A great trip and a great cache. TFTC.

Out and about and gathering the info where needed and then off to hunt for the caches. All signed tm or maverics and replaced where found. tftc.

Vielen Dank an Mr Crow (maintained by drawp) für den Spaß des Suchens, das Herführen und das Legen und Pflegen sagt Tiggaro!

We (cache-amount and roger.yvonne) spent some time in this area in 2017 to find quite a few Mr Crow puzzles. Becasue we had unfinished business (more puzzles solved than caches foud) we took the time to solve a few more. This time also some Gillywig, Stratoman and Grinning_Buddha puzzles.
Armed with roughly 200 solved mysteries we planned another trip to do some field work. We arrived early on Friday and finished on Sunday logging our last cache of the trip while the sun was already down. After a dinner in Colchester we headed for the ferry to be back at work by Monday morning.

I have to say that most of the puzzles were solved by Roger, but we work as a team.
Friday was a Crow day, Saturday mostly Gillywigs and Sunday a majority of Stratoman and a few Grinning_Buddhas. Weather was nice on Friday and Saturday but Sunday it was raining most of the time. We managed to find ca. 30 caches on Friday, some 30 on Saturday and 58 or so on Sunday. 16 DNFs. No 200 obviously, but that was to be expected. So the business is still not finished.

I want to thank the cache owners for the most enjoybale puzzles and mostly well maintained caches (some had a latest log of a few years old!).

So I decided to solve some of them during the past few years. After Rob 's proposal I suggested to add these caches to the pile of solved riddles of Mr. Crow for another trip to Essex and I challenged him to solve some more of the remaining ones.
In February this year we had solved about 200 riddles of four different CO 's althogether and we decided to plan another trip to Essex in order to find the corresponding caches. This event ;) took place between between March 8 and 11.

In February this year we had solved about 200 riddles of four different CO 's althogether and we decided to plan another trip to Essex in order to find the corresponding caches. This event ;) took place between between March 8 and 11.
In general the weather was quite good (only on Sunday it was a bit rainy) and we had a lot of fun together despite the heavy rain during the winter that had made most of the footpaths quite muddy.

Individual log:
Solved by Rob (Cache Amount) long ago.
Nice riddle!

Mr. Crow, many thanks for this riddle and for maintaining the cache.

Kind regards from Holland,

We (cache-amount and roger.yvonne) spent some time in this area in 2017 to find quite a few Mr Crow puzzles. Becasue we had unfinished business (more puzzles solved than caches foud) we took the time to solve a few more. This time also some Gillywig, Stratoman and Grinning_Buddha puzzles.
Armed with roughly 200 solved mysteries we planned another trip to do some field work. We arrived early on Friday and finished on Sunday logging our last cache of the trip while the sun was already down. After a dinner in Colchester we headed for the ferry to be back at work by Monday morning.

I have to say that most of the puzzles were solved by Roger, but we work as a team.
Friday was a Crow day, Saturday mostly Gillywigs and Sunday a majority of Stratoman and a few Grinning_Buddhas. Weather was nice on Friday and Saturday but Sunday it was raining most of the time. We managed to find ca. 30 caches on Friday, some 30 on Saturday and 58 or so on Sunday. 16 DNFs. No 200 obviously, but that was to be expected. So the business is still not finished.

I want to thank the cache owners for the most enjoybale puzzles and mostly well maintained caches (some had a latest log of a few years old!). Where we did not put our full cache name on the log we logged with CARO (abbrev. of cache-amount and roger.yvonne) to save time, log space and try to catch a bit less rain

Friday was a Crow day, Saturday mostly Gillywigs and Sunday a majority of Stratoman and a few Grinning_Buddhas. Weather was nice on Friday and Saturday but Sunday it was raining most of the time. We managed to find ca. 30 caches on Friday, some 30 on Saturday and 58 or so on Sunday. 16 DNFs. No 200 obviously, but that was to be expected. So the business is still not finished.

I want to thank the cache owners for the most enjoybale puzzles and mostly well maintained caches (some had a latest log of a few years old!). Where we did not put our full cache name on the log we logged with CARO (abbrev. of cache-amount and roger.yvonne) to save time, log space and try to catch a bit less rain

Individual log:
Another cache we solved long time ago. Inspired by this one, we even created a similar version in The Netherlands.
(https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC820DB)
Today we found this one.

General log:
About half a year ago Rob (Cache Amount) proposed to solve a number of (new) riddles of Mr. Crow. In 2017 we made a trip to Essex because together we solved a considerable amount of riddles of this CO then. But after we returned from our trip in 2017 I noticed that a number of interesting puzzles of other CO 's had been placed in about the same area as well. So I decided to solve some of them during the past few years. After Rob 's proposal I suggested to add these caches to the pile of solved riddles of Mr. Crow for another trip to Essex and I challenged him to solve some more of the remaining ones.
In February this year we had solved about 200 riddles of four different CO 's althogether and we decided to plan another trip to Essex in order to find the corresponding caches. This event ;) took place between between March 8 and 11.
In general the weather was quite good (only on Sunday it was a bit rainy) and we had a lot of fun together despite the heavy rain during the winter that had made most of the footpaths quite muddy.

Individual log:
Really creative cache we (both) solved several years ago!
We created a cache in the Netherlands based on a similar theme.
Favourite point.

Mr. Crow, many thanks for this riddle and for maintaining the cache.

Kind regards from Holland,
Roger.yvonne

We (cache-amount and roger.yvonne) spent some time in this area in 2017 to find quite a few Mr Crow puzzles. Becasue we had unfinished business (more puzzles solved than caches foud) we took the time to solve a few more. This time also some Gillywig, Stratoman and Grinning_Buddha puzzles.

Armed with roughly 200 solved mysteries we planned another trip to do some field work. We arrived early on Friday and finished on Sunday logging our last cache of the trip while the sun was already down. After a dinner in Colchester we headed for the ferry to be back at work by Monday morning.

I have to say that most of the puzzles were solved by Roger, but we work as a team.
Friday was a Crow day, Saturday mostly Gillywigs and Sunday a majority of Stratoman and a few Grinning_Buddhas. Weather was nice on Friday and Saturday but Sunday it was raining most of the time. We managed to find ca. 30 caches on Friday, some 30 on Saturday and 58 or so on Sunday. 16 DNFs. No 200 obviously, but that was to be expected. So the business is still not finished.

I want to thank the cache owners for the most enjoybale puzzles and mostly well maintained caches (some had a latest log of a few years old!). Where we did not put our full cache name on the log we logged with CARO (abbrev. of cache-amount and roger.yvonne) to save time, log space and try to catch a bit less rain

Individual log:
I could not find the way to solve this, but luckily Roger did. Found after some searching.

General log:
About half a year ago Rob (Cache Amount) proposed to solve a number of (new) riddles of Mr. Crow. In 2017 we made a trip to Essex because together we solved a considerable amount of riddles of this CO then. But after we returned from our trip in 2017 I noticed that a number of interesting puzzles of other CO 's had been placed in about the same area as well. So I decided to solve some of them during the past few years. After Rob 's proposal I suggested to add these caches to the pile of solved riddles of Mr. Crow for another trip to Essex and I challenged him to solve some more of the remaining ones.
In February this year we had solved about 200 riddles of four different CO 's althogether and we decided to plan another trip to Essex in order to find the corresponding caches. This event ;) took place between between March 8 and 11.
In general the weather was quite good (only on Sunday it was a bit rainy) and we had a lot of fun together despite the heavy rain during the winter that had made most of the footpaths quite muddy.

Individual log:
It took some time to find the way in.
But after I had a closer look at the formulas and a better understanding of what the title of this cache was all about I could do some calculations.
A little bit later I managed to find plausible coordinates.
Favourite point.

Mr. Crow, many thanks for this riddle and for maintaining the cache.

Lovely little wildlife find :)

Tasty cache! Found out in the open. Tucked it back in.

Unfortunately did not find :(

Found needs a new log

TYFTC :)

Found it on my way up to the Hooker Lake.

I swear it wasn't where I found it today when I 'looked' preisously. I can only think that the recent finders but it back there having found it nearby. Pesky animals. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)
A pleasant walk and arrived 2 paces short of the host. Straightforward field puzzle(slightly harder to return).
SL all good here.
TFTC&P Ray Happy Birthday.

Tftc!

Took a while to find but found it in the end. Tftc

Its been a long while since we undertook any 'proper geocaching' especially so close to home. We remember the original set fondly, so today we embarked on a return adventure. An wet muddy, soggy adventure it was indeed. Jess was delighted as she could jump in copious amounts of puddles whilst we strolled the heath. Evie wasn't so enamoured but she came with us so we were thankful for. that After a long walk with some backwards and forwards zigzagging we managed to solve the our first one of the four. GZ looked promising and Jen was pleased with a relatively quick find considering the leaf cover and amount of hidey holes. The cache was lovely and dry, so signed and replaced nicely. We have however decided to call it a day, having found most of what we needed to, we thought we would retreat and solve the others over a cuppa and a doughnut and make a return journey soon with Jess in tow as its a nice walking route for us.

This was our 3rd/4th attempt at getting to the final cache. This time we visited the N-most location and both our devices read the NFC tag. We then had enough info to find the cache and sign the log.
We visited the S-most location (again) and as before we couldn't read the NFC tag.
Thanks for this puzzle.

We're both on the EE network and using iPhones. The Navicrow behaved more robustly than previous versions so thanks for making improvements.
There was one hiccup at the footpath waypoint. There was a new FP post and we couldnt answer the question. But were able to use the internet and got the answer!
Thanks for the Navicrow!

I abandoned this puzzle on 20th December after the checker said NO.
I picked it up a month later only to discover that my method was correct and this time the checker said YES. I was the third solver.
This was fun to solve and we expected that there might be a clever crow at the cache.
Sadly just a film pot wedged in the tree, but a FP nevertheless.

Hiking the Hooker Track on an absolutely georgeous day! Looked at all the spoiler pics and still couldn't come up with the find. Maybe we were looking too much in the rocks and not enough in the bushes? Bummer.

All good at GZ thanks.

It's Day 2 of our geocaching mini-break in Essex.
We've had many attempts at this puzzle, but it was only after a hint from another cache that we found the theme which links all these places.
PS The location hint for the cache should read "under slab of tarmac" not moss!!

We parked up at the NW corner of the Braxted Wall well away from the "Strictly No Parking" sign and not blocking any access.

This was looking like another DNF for jollyquest. There were 3 possible host items and Mrs J had checked them all in the "hedge".
Mr J found a small niche "roadside" which had escaped examination and, hey, a micro-sized geocache in brown tape.
Thanks for yet another interesting puzzle.

It's Day 3 of our geocaching mini-break in Essex.
Well that makes 4 pairs of eyes that have failed to spot a 'small' size geocache at this location.
We did have a good look round and checked the many holes but nothing found.

I found the benches easy enough then sat down to crunch the numbers. That's a long walk to the final. Lol. Tftc

I am spending one week in Witham visiting family this Easter. Today I went for a walk on the eastern side of A12. Nice paths and the roads were quite easy to walk along (compared to some others roads I have walked along earlier). The sun was shining and the weather very nice. Three caches found, one DNF and one challenge I'm not qualified for yet.

The task was solved a long time ago. Quite easy (compared to the other mysteries in this area), I will say.

This was my first stop. I did not manage to solve the placement hint anagram. I looked here and there for a while. Then I crossed the streak and found it imitatively. The cache was in good shape, but the outer fabric is not any good anymore.

Takk for cachen Mr Crow!

Thanks to the hint as it's full of stones!! Really cool treasure ????

I enjoyed solving this puzzle and a nice quick find at gz. Tftc

Tftc nicely hidden

An enjoyable adlab and a nice quick find here. Tftc

Logged on a white canister. Is this the old hide? Put back as per clue. Tftc

I had decided that we needed a geocaching walk over the Easter weekend so we traipsed out to Chigborough to pick up the long-sought after multis here. They've been on my to-do list for a decade! Imagine my panic then, when we get to the car park and the info board is missing!

---

A panicked PAF to the CO ensued but I didn't get any info. However, in the meantime, I made a search of the logs to see if I could request info from other sources. Only then did I notice the information I needed hidden away...
A quick calculation and coords for all three caches were in the GPSr.

Mini F and LittleMissF were sent in search of the final once at GZ and I grabbed the TB that was residing here.

I had decided that we needed a geocaching walk over the Easter weekend so we traipsed out to Chigborough to pick up the long-sought after multis here. They've been on my to-do list for a decade! Imagine my panic then, when we get to the car park and the info board is missing!

A quiet walk down the lane. Spotted a pheasant in the ditch nearby too.

FTDNF, unfortunately .
Knowledge of the previous MO led me straight to the correct coords as confirmed by the checker, but something was missing. Whether it was the cache or my finding skills remains to be seen...

FTF
A straightforward solution, as I kept the MO code from its predecessor. Also a straightforward find at GZ on the only possible host.

TFTC.

Wasn’t there neither my friend that found it before could not find it as well as my brother

Couldn’t find it even got my friend that found it before and he couldn’t find it my brother didn’t find it either looks like the trees were cut near the hint location and maybe then it got moved.

Think this cache has been removed??? Surrounding trees on metal fence have been cut back and may have disturbed the cache as could not find it.

Words fail me.
TFTC and walks!

FTF
A subtle twist (or rather two) of the previous MO here. Fortunately something in the maths caught my attention - "why this not that?" which suggested a transformation, doubly confirmed by the title. The first two eggsuations were familiar territory, but the third confused me for a while and required a different approach, because it was not merely rotten but truly degenerate [].

GZ was fairly straightforward, though the approach was extremely muddy.

TFTC.

[] (in a mathematical sense, of course ????.)

Devious indeed ????

FTF log to follow.

I had found the original and had the coords but I had no notes of the solve that I could find. In the area looking for a few other RRs so came for a speculative look.
The hint: cower down? hide!? not helping. I had a good search of the obvious until something pricked my subconcious and the hint maybe fitted.
Still no joy and about to leave when I thought try there. (Not the mo I expect from the co.) I still didn't see it, then for some unknown reason I looked closer and thought thats odd.
Wow! Can't believe the hide is the reason for the D rating. ????

SL ftf and replaced as was. Good luck to future searchers.
TFTC&P. The highlight of my otherwise odd days caching.

???????????? FTF ????????????
With notes of its predecessor in hand, I didn't have too much trouble with this version. The hardest part was second-guessing the CO's intentions as a crossword compiler. I think he should publish (anonymously, of course) some of the incorrect guesses, for the amusement of other solvers ????. Anyway, given the crossword solutions and the code I used last time, it didn't take long to get a set of very plausible coordinates. Unfortunately the checker disagreed. However, the coords were plotting so close to an obvious potential host that I thought it was worth venturing out to see if I was right. I was, and discovered a nice clean log sheet as my reward.

TFTC.

An ingenious puzzle, which would have taken a rally driver's determination (more than I have) to solve by following EVie's progress around the map. Then I noticed that there was a labour-saving shortcut... It meant that the solution was ambiguous, but there were only a few plausible answers. Unfortunately, thanks to rounding errors the checker was not having any of them, so this cache went on the to-do pile for quite a while. Today I was in the vicinity to find another cache so it seemed worth having a speculative search at the nearest potential GZ. It was raining gently, and the wet vegetation and the slightly hazy diffuse daylight made everything stand out very clearly, compared to the raking oblique sunlight there would have been at the same time on a sunny day. As a result, to my surprise I spotted the relevant barkoflage within a few minutes of starting the search.

TFTC and a favourite for exercising my mapping skills.

The moral of this exercise is clearly that crows are more intelligent than ChatGPT.

Yes, ChatGPT is very good at putting convincing sequences of words into an order that appears to make sense, and crows don't have a lot to say to us, but nearly everything else in that article can be done better by crows than large language methods. Anyway, the article was verbose enough to contain far more text than the unicity distance of English, so it decrypted quite easily and solving the second stage wasn't too laborious.

At GZ I managed to identify the correct host without problems and extracted a pot from a concealment that was probably not crow-proof, so I replaced it very firmly.

TFTC.

What a gorgeous little spot. Thank you for placing a cache here. NZ is full of the most stunning places. TFTC Touring NZ from Australia

FTF log to follow.

In 1854 the Crimean war began. Does that help any solver or not?
It was about as relevant as everything else I tried.
Then finally a break through. Now assuming what it wasn't lead to an alternate approach and surpringly coordinates appeared. (partial at first)

I do not remember the first time I walked here nor the other times when walking part of the route, but I do the last two occasions.
The former of those was a pleasant walk. Today it was familiar and still pleasant due to the sun shining.
Pleased to say the cache was found quickly unlike accessing the log!
Signing ftf and recovered then placed back and recovered.
TFTC&P Have a favourite. Why? well it just feels right.????

Like alanwito I have the scars, both mental and physical but not from the previous visit but today's.
I mistakenly thought if I get near it would be easy to spot. A schoolboy error to assume I could get anywhere near.
I wandered about taking paths of least resistance but it soon became a futile exercise. I headed North in an attempt to get a bearing and must have been spotted from afar by a local employee. Minutes later he turned up in his truck, Not too happy I was here, he asked what I was doing. After a short while he said I should go back to the way I came and warned me of hornets.
Taking his advice I tried my best but got bogged down. On hands and knees heading for where I though I need to go, two men and a dog appeared and one called out. I made it to them and they 'escorted' me out.
They were pleasant enough but insisted that this was somewhere noone should be. I enquired about the bridleway but they insited that didn't exist anymore, despite the sign.
Not somewhere I think I'll back back to soon, if ever.
Not to worry. Shame I didn't stumble upon it on my attempt to exit. You can't find them all.????

Unlike grinning buddha I failed spectacularly to sense the sense of the title. Even then I didn't see the 'familiar terriory' at first.
That over the next part looked horrendous even for a 'mathematician'. A technique I did have in my once day job armoury, gave me an extremely encouraging pair of answers. Given that I had solved the original it wasn't two many steps to satisfying the checker.
I parked exactly where I had the other day and wandered down. 'the approach was extremely muddy' was by no means an eggsaggeration.
Cache not found immediately even with hint and when I did it was in a percarious position.
SL and fashioned a retention device as the string was broken. Hope all is ok when the next finder/co visits.
TFTC.

I had solved the original but struggled here. Felt it worth a visit in light of g7b5's log.
Soon found and signed. Thanks.

I have to admit here that I thought I'd take a look as I knew I'd be passing. Drove past where I thought it might be and parked.
There was a more likely host nearer the car than where I intended searching so have a peek and there it was.
SL below gb (not for the first or second time today!)
Great snappy camo'd container.
TFTC.

Couldn't find it

After collecting the relevant coords we started on our stroll down unknown footpaths to us (however our memory is going so we could have been down here years ago lol)

The stroll to GZ was quite memorable as Jess thought it was excellent with a dead rat that she almost managed to grab, muddy puddles and horses for her to be amazed by!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful views across to the estuary.

The cache was soon found and quickly signed, then we made a nice circular route back to the car.

Nice walk to the cache, tftc

I was in Langford today, so it seemed like a good time to visit a few unfound caches in the vicinity. I solved these three and found number 1 a long time ago, but failed to find 2 and 3. Today the CO's note prompted me to look more carefully at my "solutions" whereupon I discovered the transcription error that had led me to look for both of them in entirely the wrong places. With the corrected coordinates I was able to find this one without much difficulty.

This one took a while to find, as previous logs left me in some doubt about exactly what and where I was looking for, but eventually I spotted a camo bag containing a pot and a log with some recent dates, to which I added today,

I was in Langford today, so it seemed like a good time to visit a few unfound caches in the vicinity. This one was a straightforward solve given my notes from (1) , and an equally straightforward find with a definite sense of deja vu about GZ.

Once upon a time I had a list of things to try when contemplating a puzzle cache. On this occasion I failed to use it, and apart from discovering the built-in misdirection I got nowhere with the methods I did try. Only going back to first principles (in more ways than one) did I make any progress, but eventually a solution emerged.
Like Gillywig I had a distinct sense of deja vu when visiting GZ today. On my first approach I could see something promising, but it took a bit more work to view it from an angle where I could actually extract the log and add my details.

TFTC.

Solving wasn't too hard as I had notes from (1).
Finding was harder - see earlier DNF log. I understood the hint, but it was present in profusion and I was perhaps too much fixated on one location. Today, expanding the search radius by 15m or so to allow for GPS inaccuracy, something else consistent with the hint appeared and a little investigation revealed what I had missed first time around.

TFTC.

Like its predecessor, not a puzzle I can say I enjoyed solving. It's dispiriting when on an early attempt you get to 98 with time in hand, and then mistype answer 99. The reduced choice of words made it slightly easier, but I still had to look up one or two of them, and Groundspeak's idea of "country" is a little bit, er, flexible. (For example, last time I visited them, Sark was part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, and Guadeloupe was a French département et région d'outre-mer with food to match. ) Still, that's a minor problem compared with remembering how to spell some of the more obscure ones, and with the aid of a high-quality gaming keyboard I eventually managed to type 100 names correctly.

Today was catching-up day for assorted Tolleshunt caches. I had warm wind, blue sky, a sweet route to GZ and a more orthodox route back. GZ was a neat concealment but easily identified thanks to the hint.

TFTC.

In many ways a repeat of (1) covering some now-familiar territory. This was nearly a DNF because the host is badly overgrown with extremely scratchy brambles and I hadn't brought secateurs. Fortunately just as I was about to give up I tried a bit of sounding, and one corner produced a drum-like sound, no doubt due to the triple encapsulation of the log. A little digging and the log was in hand, though its outer container was by no means dry inside.

TFTC.

Technical note: My browser reported "page not found" on a couple of occasions (probably because I was simultaneously visiting the nearby AdLab, and the browser was timing out when not the foreground app) but it restarted from where it had left off without any problems.

Having completed the AdLab without problems, while simultaneously visiting RR225's locations, apart from waiting for several dog-walkers to disperse it didn't take me long to locate the fine custom container.

TFTC.

Another reissue but this time a devious twist on the original.
One this hurdle was overcome the solve was pretty straightforward.

My GPS was still playing games with me and again directed me into private land.
So again I ignored it and searched in the most likely place.
After much searching I had to resort to a PAF which was fortuitous as I learned the cache was not in the hinted place.
Soon had the GREEN ! bison in my hand.
TFTC and a favourite for the clever twist.

Another reissue with a similar puzzle.
However this time with a deviously hard hide.

I arrived at GZ to find an intense search had been done of the area recently.
I had worked out from the hint what I was probably looking for but it was everywhere ????
After about 20 minutes of searching I was about to give up.
With only one more cache to collect today I was desperate to find it on this visit being a long way to travel.
A PAF narrowed my search area and eventually I found the deviously hidden cache.

TFTC and a favourite for the hide.

This was one of Ray's reissued caches with similar puzzle.
GZ was straightforward.
TFTC

Another reissued cache with a very similar puzzle.
As with the original it took me longer to solve the 6 questions than applying the Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem.
Thankfully I had my original Excel spreadsheet for the later.
Quit find at GZ
TFTC

Soon had stage 1 sorted, but then hit the proverbial brick wall. I was sure I knew the decoding for stage 2 but alas not to be.
Only recently when revisiting the puzzle did I realise just how near I had been to stage 2.
Stage 3 was exactly as expected and a very enjoyable decode.
GZ was made a little more interesting by my GPS telling me the hide was 80 ft into private land !!
So I decided to just search every likely host and soon had the cache in hand.

Excellent 3 stage puzzle which I enjoyed immensely.
Favourite from me.
TFTC

Decoded this soon after it was published but couldn't get the numbers to add up and satisfy the checker.
Pretty sure I had GZ within a few metres, but too far travel to have a tentative look without a green light.
Only recently managed to get the count correct and even then was hindered by a bug in one of the Excel functions.
Finally collected today just a few metres away from my original coords.
TFTC

In true Frantica style I not only managed complete stupidity with the ad lab itself I managed to rock up at the bonus with a pen that didn’t work. Luckily daughter was on hand nearby and was able to supply a spare. Nice quiet location and tidy hide. TFTC

Thanks for the cache :)

On our way back from Abberton and stopped for quick find of this revised puzzle cache.
Thanks Mr Crow.

Passing by this morning, on way to Chelmsford, a slight detour from home. Nice quick find. TFTC

Good to see a new puzzle from the CO after many reissues.
Wasted a lot of time going down the wrong path , but a new approach lead to a quick solution and out popped the coordinates.

Very pleasant walk this morning to the cache which was a quick find.
TFTC and favourite.

The wall rock is tricky to find. Nice camo.

'The T5 is not physically difficullt; but the cache is difficult to find.'

No point in conjectoring then! ????
