Most ivy hides are evil. The reason is mostly as ivy grows fast and all over the place, and mostly covers a huge area. When I see in the hint the key work ivy I already start to worry, but at the end you will just be lucky if you keep on searching. When you found it it is easy to take a picture. On my first picture you can see the tiny little geocache on some ivy. Of course it was not there in open for everyone to easily spot. Hiding in the ivy. As you can see it was in the ivy, but with most ivy hides you would expect to be between the leaves, but not in this case. It was really smart to hide it between the roots of the ivy, first time I met with this technic. THe tree with the ivy hiding the geocache  This geocache was hidden in Bracknell (UK) on a road I did not see any sign of heavy traffic at all. Air was clean, thanks to all the huge trees the temperature was also comfortable for the hike to the geocache and on the way to the next one. The nice and big t...

Some caches for non native English speakers could be a challenge in an English speaking area, especially when there is a key word in the name of the geocache or in the description that is very helpful. This is what happened with me on this one, I had no clue what is a push-fit pipe, and no internet so could not search for help there. No clue means you need to look into anything that is like a pipe, or anything that is not as it might not be a pipe after all. In the pipe. It was a pipe, but I was looking into all different pipe looking object before I spotted this one about ten meters off the coordinate. Lucky for me the pathway was narrow and fence on both side so made the search area smaller. It still took me at least 15 minutes. The container. When I got the container out I was happy to see a bigger container, not to mention that I found a travel bug in it, which I picked up happily not knowing its mission which later made me find another bigger container where I could...

This geocache is a perfect example of how to make the geocaching experience a huge fun. Creating geocaches for players that are not just a pill box, or a petling, but it is camouflaged the it is almost invisible for the unexperienced eyes. When I come across a geocache that is such well done and effort is put into creating it and finding a place to hide it where it will stay around for a longer time without being muggled, I always give a favo point for them. A professional geocache is always fun to find. This geocache is located in the United Kingdom, in Bracknell. Its a small city with many nice parks and not too many muggles, at least after working hours or on Sundays. Which made me question the demand for these parks, but maybe I was just luck to be around when others had dinner or a weekend laziness. This was one of the entrance to the Whitegrove Copse. Entrance to the park. A bigger tree fallen on the footpath and kept there, gives some cool atmosphere to the walk...

On a sunny Sunday in Bracknell (UK) I had almost a full day to walk around and to find some geocaches. As I was on foot I decided to clear areas that has multiple in walking distance. This one was located at a lake that has no name, it is not some super big lake or any special, it is just in the middle of an industrial, office area. A magnetic cache. The hide was nothing really special, but something happened to it as it was in two pieces, one on the ground and one stuck to the pole with the magnet. As the contained had a plastic bag to hold the log, it was dry and in good condition. For those who just started playing this game it is a good advice to have repair materials with you all the time, some plastic bags of different sizes, some logbooks, some log rolls, some extra paper in case any of the previous does not fit when the log is full. As I was walking to the cache, I saw from a distance that there are muggles... the fishing type, actually they fish for fish, and most ofte...

No dogs. A nice urban cache I came across in Bracknell (UK). It is placed in an industrial, office area where not many traditional geocaches are located. The container is a plastic bag behind the magnetic sign. Magnetic containers can come in any size from the nanos to bigger ones. I already met some of these before with High Voltage warnings or other danger signs, this was the first animal related one. Next to the entrance lower left corner. In business hours this cache could be harder, but for my luck I was there on Sunday. The more experience a geocacher collects the better (s)he can judge when to visit given geocaches; weekdays, weekends, working hours or after working hours, daytime or night time. It is really wise to plan your geocaching tour to given areas for given time of the day/week that can save you hours of waiting at a location to pick the cache. Two muggles far away. In this area I did not meet too many muggles, and they were in a hurry to get somew...

Another nano I found, this time in Bracknell, UK. This was the first cache I went after as this was the closest to the hotel I stayed. I was expecting some rain or sprinkling but lucky for me it was a great sunny day. Right after lunch for which I had a traditional breakfast, which happened that it was around half past eleven and they only served breakfast at that time. I looked up the location in the restaurant and it was in 200 meters, but to get there I had to walk almost a thousand as I had to go all around and under the roundabout. The nano under the bench It was an easy to find container, the only problem I had was a muggle sitting on top of it. What could I do? I took many photos, I tied my shoes, not as if it was lose or so, just to spend time. I almost gave up on it when he finally got it, and stood up and walked away pushing his bike. There were two benches Bracknell has many green areas, really nice big and old trees all around. As this was my first trip to ...
