  1. Today
  2. Thanks for that. I undeleted, and my count went back up immediately
  3. I just went to an archived cache from few years ago and deleted a note I had on there with no issues. If the cache is locked, or even worse, retracted, then you can't delete your logs on it, but of it's simply archived, there shouldn't be any issues.
  4. I find it dumb that just a stamp completly overrides the cache type. If anything, LBHs should be determined by the style of hide (giving clues from starting location). I have a letterbox style mystery cache. Using an intersection wasn't enough GPS usage, so I had to use a projection as one of my steps.
  5. I don't know about arisoft's location, but the LBH caches I've found have used accurate GPS coordinates to identify the starting location (not a generic starting location like a parking lot or a trailhead). The letterbox-style clues make sense only if you start at the correct location, so accurate GPS coordinates are needed to even start the letterbox-style clues.
  6. How do they meet the GPS requirement Guideline?

  9. Yesterday
  10. That has been suggested before. Something to just consider if it's a tricky hide you could just copy and paste your log and put it in the personal note which is very easily accessible on the app, plus you can add more spoiler information you wouldn't want in your log.
  11. Not sure of that but there were some traveling caches that were designed to be found multiple times. Each time it was at a new location so it was considered a new find and was permitted. Not now. The cache I’m referring to was ABC’s, GCCD54.
  12. How often does someone ask you about a cache you have already found? To find your own log in the app is currently quite tedious.... 1. Open the cachepage in the webbrower 2. Click near your yellow smiley to find the cache 3. Enlarge the log to make it more readable. How good would it be if, similar to a 'friends' tab, you could have a 'me tab' where you can quickly pull up your own log, without having to go to the web browser. Or, as you are the best friend of yourself, add your own log into the 'friends' tab!
  13. The issue of duplicate logs has come up with some fellow cachers and some have chosen to delete their duplicate logs (as found using the bad logs link on project GC) as it is showing more smilies than actual finds For those reading this who are unaware of duplicate logging - these duplicate logs are on older caches and were done some time ago when it was possible to log a cache as 'found' more than once (not that you were supposed to, though there were a small handful of caches where that was allowed) - Now you are not able to do any further 'found it' logs once you have done the first one. Back in the day this often occurred unwittingly when logging out in the field - signal was bad and you keep pressing 'send' thinking it hasnt gone, but it turns out it got sent several times and you are none the wiser and ended up logging the cache as found more than once and on some occasions (I have seen) six or seven times - and unless you looked back on that log you would still be none the wiser. The find bad logs tool in PGC became very helpful in identifying those. Anyhow - one cacher has tried to delete their logs and has advised that it didn't work - the cache in question is archived but not locked I was under the impression you could still delete your own log on an archived cache unless it was locked Is this wrong or is there a glitch in the system regarding this process thanks Tim - ddm
  14. The blocking cache is https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCZKJM The map displays red circles at every waypoint of this cache. Stage 4 Newtowntrim Cathedral is the culprit. The owner of this cache has made a mistake by entering physical waypoints for virtual stages. You should consult your local reviewer about this matter because it has to be fixed before you can get your cache published.
  15. From the geocaching Help Center: Don’t rely only on the Geocache Planning Map to choose a location. Multi-Caches, Mysteries, Wherigos, and Letterbox Hybrids can have hidden physical waypoints.
  16. i have been to the Netherlands twice in the last six months your Lab cache art are brilliant i held two events and was surprised by the amount of woodies i was given - very pleasing and both events where well attended you have a lot of old 2001 - 2003 multis = most of them were to long to do in the time we had Urban 2 was fun - it took me two days to recover from the pedal boat - lol need to go back as your caches are well maintained = even the old ones
  17. There's a multi GCZKJM that appears to have physical waypoints around the cathedral. You can't place a cache within 161m of the physical waypoints (or final) of another cache.
  18. Most probably any Multi, Mystery or Letterbox ends near your location... and those (final points) won't show on the map, of course.
  19. I recently was in trim and was looking for a location to hide a cache, and thought I had found the perfect location. I noted the co-ords and prepared to set the cache up but when I entered the co-ords for the hide, it appeared there was already a cache there (the red circle that usually denotes a cache). this confused me as I had checked that there was no caches in the area on the app while searching for a location for the hide. I then hoped on project-GC to check if there was a disabled/archived cache there, but there was nothing. I don't know why it is unavailable, the location Is near the old cathedral of St Peter and Paul (old ruins), are certain locations blocked off from hiding geocaches?
  20. Feel better now... Not one person here has ever asked what I'd do with a woodie either...
  21. Double update ! We are hopping right along ! Sent information to Laval K-9: Feb 24 Name received from Laval K-9: March 3 Sent my gift: March 18 My gift arrived at destination: I received a gift:
  22. Just fyi: https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/386219-adventure-lab-notification/
  23. There's an adventure lab that you can do at the airport (answering questions about airlines; can be done from anywhere). As Mellers has already said, I don't think that attempting pedestrian access to/from the airport is going to be much fun. I'm not necessarily sure that it's even allowed as I think the only (public) road access is through the tunnels under the runways which don't allow pedestrian access. Possibly you could get a shuttle bus to a car park and walk out of the car park, but I don't think that's got much benefit over using the tube or getting a public bus (the Heathrow us station is by terminals 2/3). If you're literally after any cache, then there's a trad and a challenge a short walk from Hatton Cross tube station (one stop from Heathrow T1/2/3 station). The mystery that has a pin by the station is about a 15 minute walk from the station and it won't be a nice walk. If you have a longer layover and want to feel a bit more like you've seen London rather than just an industrial area and gross roads near an airport, then Paddington station is on the Elizabeth Line (or Heathrow Express if you're feeling like spending more money for no real reason). It's an impressive station building (the mainline bit) with a virtual and two trads, and a challenge not too far away.
  24. Some things that are noticeably different different between the UK and the Netherlands (the only country outside the UK I feel I've cached in enough to start getting a sense of) are: Dutch cachers really like Woodies (collectible/swapable personalised wooden coins that may or may not have a trackable code on to discover). They're so little of a thing in the UK that when in a group conversation with non-cachers I asked a caching friend of 10+ years 'I know this'll sound really suspicious to those of you who aren't X but... X, what does one do with woodies?', he'd literally never heard of them. Which made my confidence that I wasn't just being smutty somewhat misguided! Dutch multi caches cover a lot of distance for their T rating compared with the UK. A T1 or T1.5 multi in the UK is likely 'go to a place, read numbers off a thing, go max 300m away'. Whereas my friends and I joke that the T rating on a Dutch multi is simply how may day's hike it is. I think they're a lot more into 'here is my personal collection discoverable trackables' than in the UK (but that's possibly a reflection of the types of people who come to an 8am event on the 29th February hosted by foreigners at a closed McDonalds... That's another difference - it didn't even register as a possibility to us that a McDonalds wouldn't be open at 8am!) Dutch caches are on average better maintained than UK caches Dutch trees are more different to UK trees than you'd expect. A lot of Dutch tree climbs are either 'use a ladder, don't climb' or 'you'll need ropes and one of those pull you up devices because the lowest branches are 10m up' (ie pine/forestry trees), whereas I think a higher proportion of the tree climbs we see in the UK are either free climbable or you'd want ropes for safety for a higher free climb but you can still scramble up from ground level (or ground level plus a bit of a bunk up).
  25. I am not convinced this explains the new AL I found this morning but for which I received no notification. Also, how did you find out that 20 miles (32 km) is the notification distance?
