Grabbed Stellar's NAVSTAR Geocoin while doing a quick introduction to Geocaching with some friends. This appears to me my cache of choice for introductions to the hobby now got the newbies to sign the log and did a few swaps .

06/20/2011 SideTracked - Haddenham & Thame Parkway
Been cruising past this one on and off for the last week to see if I could slip in to get it. It was never a good time the guard was always hanging about. Today I decided to man up, using jedi reflexes and ninja stealth I parked the car on the lower floor and went under the ramp right next to the guard. Suddenly he walks out of his box and I need new underwear, I did a really bad job of looking innocent and legged it. He ambled off I'm not sure if he noticed me or not, I was looking really suspicious and making lots of noise including banging my head on the ramp maybe he just didn't care anyway my small window of opportunity was open and I took full advantage finding signing and rehiding as quickly as possible. I ran back to the car heart racing and feeling like a proper crim. Grinding the gears on my getaway car I high-tailed it out of the car park... no one followed I guess I could be making too much of it . TFTC.
Nice easy one and great clue. Although I did feel a bit self conscious being observed by the weekend workers. The log was too wet to sign so took a photo. TFTC.
This was a tricky one think this would have been more enjoyable on a less rainy day. The sundial is a thing of beauty it looks like it crash landed from another planet excellent stuff. This is a great spot would never have found this without a geocache being there. We visited the tourist information centre there as well who currently have a sale on OS maps (Christmas come early woot!). TFTC.
06/17/2011 Thames Path - Marlow Lock and Weir
Got absolutely drenched looking for this one. We found it and even took the time to pose for some photos including one with Fred the snail who befriended my daughter on route, I am very suspicious of snails these days and can often be seen examining them for geocaches
06/17/2011 You couldn't find Marlow Suspension Bridge
I believe this is out of order at the moment due to some repairs on the bridge , I didn't attempt to it once I saw the bridge footpath was closed. As they say "I'll be back"
06/17/2011 Out in the Sticks - Stokenchurch
Nice and straight forward which is just what the doctor ordered today there were a lot of dog walking muggles to avoid even though the rain was pretty heavy... dog walkers hey you have to admire their ethos of doing what must be done come rain or shine mind you dogs keep working after they get wet unlike GPS units. Thanks very much for the cache and the walk, this was a very well sign posted area it would be nice to follow some of the paths a bit further some time. Shame there was no view of the Opera in the Wormsley estate just over the way: http://www.garsingtonopera.org/
06/17/2011 You couldn't find Beginner To Black Belt - 10th Kyu
Made a half hearted attempt at this one this morning my daughter insisted on bringing her toy pram which made the going tough and when it started raining we bailed to go feed some ducks instead (as you do). I don't think it will be giving too much away to say there are several possible locations for this one (devilish idea, love it!). With one down (hopefully) there are several more to go so I will be back possibly on my own next time or at least minus the pram .
06/15/2011 Roberts Spooky Birthday Cache
This would have been wicked to do at night with the kids will have to remember this one for Halloween TFTC.
06/15/2011 You couldn't find Haddenham Round Again #1
Pretty sure I was in the right place. No sign of it despite a pretty good search while trying to look innocent with loads of mummy and builder muggles around

I have so much to say about this cache but for now until I finish my write up and edit the ridiculous amount of geotagged photos I took on the way I just want to put a quick log entry in to say found it and to say thanks for the cache.
There is a lot of maintenance to do on this which I am tempted to do myself. For now I have put a temporary replacement for:
Location 4: Leave nothing uncovered and a new best friend will tell you where to go.

Forth time lucky! Woot! Yay! I was looking for another cache in the area and stumbled upon familiar ground so I thought what the heck lets have a quick look for my old nemesis. Within about 5 minutes of looking I had the elusive micro and was off to find the final cache. The tree cover and lack of battery left in my GPS made the last one harder than it should have been but nowhere as tricky as the micros I had problems with before. So pleased to be able to cross this one off my list you have no idea! Thank you so much for the series.

That's not a parking spot that's a giant pothole! Also will someone tell the local farmers that thistles are NOT A CROP! As for the cache itself... brilliant and a work of evil genius, I can well see why there are DNF's on this one. Absolutely deserves the favourite point and a nice find for my 80th cache. This is one to be very proud of but as for a cache and dash no not unless you are very lucky or have a keen eye! My advice bring a picnic and make a day of it while you watch your loved ones become more and more frustrated

Quick cache and dash mopping up some local ones that I've either not found yet or could not find on the first attempt. This one was in the easier category although was very nearly muggled. TFTC.

06/05/2011 You couldn't find Haddenham Round Again #2
Didn't get shot. Had a very quick look for this one and didn't find it had to abandon the hunt as it started raining and one of the party had a toilet accident... oops Will be back for this another day.
06/05/2011 Haddenham Round Again #3
Wasn't expecting that. Found after the rest of the guys had a rummage. TFTC.
06/05/2011 Haddenham Round Again #4
Unable to sign as it's only a small log I have photo evidence if required. TFTC
06/05/2011 Haddenham Round Again #5
Nice location. TFTC
06/05/2011 Haddenham Round Again #8
All that remains of this cache other than a lid is the log book in a holey bag.
I've put it in a second bag to protect it from the elements and hidden it in a crack in the tree and covered it with some sticks, it might survive until it can be maintained now

First of the series as we are doing it backwards (Apart from two in the middle we found last month). Nice and easy. TFTC.
Grabbed this on the way to do the Haddenham Round Again Series. What a beautiful church and pond the pushy ducks own the place they are not there for you... you are there for them and they demand to be fed! TFTC
