As it was a hot bank holiday Monday - yes really! I was able to use the shade of the bus shelter so I could read all the questions. My answers have been submitted so hope they are satisfactory. Learning something every day!

In Leeds for the cricket and with a spare day I headed out to try a few earthcaches. Managed to walk just over 4klms and pick up 10, as well as virtual and webcam.
All were interesting spots, with some info quickly gathered, some that took a bit of re-reading and research back at the motel. Answers have all been sent and hopefully all is good,
Thanks for the lessons Hillgorilla, something new was certainly learnt.

Our last earthcache of the day. Total of 13 earthcaches today while in Leeds, plus a virtual and a webcam. Overall a very good day. Answers sent to CO TFTEC
Plan B today after heavy rain at home put paid to Plan A so it was off to Leeds to locate the 5 new earthcaches. Answers sent to CO. Another excellent earthcache which it would be very easy to walk past and ignore. Tftec.
Tried to look inconspicuous while I examined the wall. Answers and photo sent to CO.

Even though this was a fairly busy spot, you can't really be muggled when looking for an Earthcache, so I took my time looking over the granite and then happily got my tape measure out to size up the large mica crystals, while presumably bemused passers-by... passed by.
Answers messaged to the CO. Thank you for another interesting urban earthcache!

Had an enjoyable walk around Leeds checking out a few earthcaches. Answers sent to CO.
Having found a Hillgorilla EarthCache already this morning in order to complete a calendar day I was on my way back to the car when I remembered received a notification about a new EarthCache in the city centre.
I opened my emails, found the cache in question and noticed that it hadn't yet been found - change of plan, rather than heading to the car I headed for this one.
I knew the street and suspected the cache zone was next to the bus stop I use on occasion! I was right!
The bus stop allows a great reason to loiter and gather the information needed. I've sent the answers through and I hope they are OK. Also, as requested, a picture is included with this log.
What a great start to the day!

Pipped to the post for FTF (sigh), probably by a pipsqueak but it was still a Cache on the way to work!
It was so hot and humid today, as steamy as a real jungle not a concrete jungle!
Found cache and sent my answers. Also had to contend with Ladies from Santander offering free coffee to all passerby’s while I am trying to discreetly examine and photograph the stone!!! They were stood right next to me and offered me coffee too! ( I prefer tea!) Not sure what they thought I was doing but talk about Caching under difficulties!! TFTC

After my day in the blazing sun & with Cathryn at work I got her to drop me off in Kirkstall Road so I could pick up the new EarthCaches & a trad.
No issues here at all I stood as if waiting on a bus and made my notes before heading over to Weatherspoon's for a nice cold drink..
