Freedom of the city
After an animated meeting with TCA at a pub in Waterloo, I cached my back to the hotel down the banks of the Thames, with mixed success. Despite a few DNF (and an increasingly troubling ear infection) I was very pleased with this photo of "From a Swan to the Canary: Custom House".
Event cache!

Tottenham Cake
My regular east London treat: a slice of Tottenham Cake from Percy Ingle in Watney Street Market, Shadwell.
QPR 4-1 Reading
As the night drew in, I cut my losses having found 9 caches, and caught the tube from Hangar Lane Gyratory to watch QPR thrash Reading in an entertaining game.

WTF series
Took the tube to Greenford in order to tackle some of the "WTF" (Water to follow) series in northwest London, which takes in the canal network. I worked my way eastwards from Greenford towards Alperton. This was the first cache I found on this late autumn afternoon. The cache actually sticks into the top of the "Public Footpath" sign in the background.

'Dexter's View'
I always enjoy a cache trip to Powys. There aren't many caches around, so there's no point going crazy - you just have to pick one or two and enjoy the walk. This one was set on farmland just above the village of Llanyre, overlooking Llandrindod.
During the day I managed to hide a new multicache as well, in Llandrindod itself.

Island House
A picture for posterity, as this pub is unlikely to survive future development in Llanelli, despite this petition.

Tintern
Went for a drive to Tintern Abbey ('tis, says Dr Wally), in theWye Valley. K Found a nice woodland walk on the western bank of the valley and we stumbled on the Cherry Tree Inn which I am blogging for future reference...
Hopping Hare
Nice light beer for late spring, and the colour scheme of this bottle is possibly my favourite from the Badger stables (or Badger set?)

Gotcha!
Cardiff's Bouncy Bridge
This one was on my current list of DNF irritants, having made an attempt earlier in the year. Found it after a sudden flash of 'where would I have hidden it' logic.

Early autumn multi
Cardiff Rivers (Taff): Millennium Stadium
Nice to grab a rare multi cache today whilst on business in Cardiff. The co-ords came from clues based on the mosaics of different nations, which are found on the public walkway next to the stadium (see the Namibia mosaic, below). The cache was a well-disguised container at a pleasant location. It's really difficult to do a good urban cache, this is probably the best I've seen in Cardiff.
