Without wishing to upset anyone I don't think Wheatpieces wander is what you are looking for. If you don't mind heading up into the Cotswolds you can't go wrong with a Wrighty series, try Cotswold Lions or Many steps though old times or going a bit to the south there is A bit on the Syde. All of these, in my opinion, have fantastic views of the Cotswold countryside.

I'd agree with TJ on this.
You can't go wrong with a Wrighty series - we've found hundreds of them!

Scroll down to the bottom
Your log is dated 2002!
Numbers 6,7,9,10 & 11 are all dated 25th September 2002
(This is ,of course, just my opinion and I could be totally wrong!)

Mark he is not wrong and gave a good example to the exception YOU GAVE! Please...............
Oh for crying out loud!!
Those two examples I gave are old caches. I could have listed a couple of dozen we have found like that.
Current guidelines are:
Traditional Cache
This is the original geocache type consisting of, at minimum, a container and a log book or logsheet. Larger containers generally include items for trade. “Nano” or “micro” caches are tiny containers that only hold a logsheet. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page provide the geocache’s exact location.
See for yourself HERE
If your reviewer in Western NY - USA allows caches with step by step instructions starting from vague co-ords, then (s)he isn't doing the job properly.

Im new to this so maybe I am wrong
Correct! You are indeed wrong!
A Traditional cache should be at the listed co-ordinates
There are well known exceptions usually old (Tunnel-Tastic for example) or very old (Angel's View View for example) but it's NOT acceptable these days.

If money was no object and you could cache in one part of the world that isn't the UK where would you choose to go?
Makes it sound like UK would be everyone's first choice!
:lol: Mark

Apart from the usual destinations, I'd quite like to do this cache
I first became aware of it when the Geocaching.com homepage used to have the gallery photos.
This photo really captures the feeling of adventure...

can you not just block the .png smiley? as the other one is a .gif smiley?
Yeah that worked!
ThanksMark

Using Stylish, any idea how I can get rid of the 'Caches Found' smiley on every log?
Thanks

Nope... because this morning it's already gone up to 100,102 - 99 new caches published since yesterday evening when Delta68 posted. (Maybe even more than that, if some were also archived.)
MrsB
It probably passed 100,000 several hours earlier because ignored caches are excluded from the total...

So there!

I have just done Shropshire View that is an old one and I would recommend that if you haven't already done it.
I was going to suggest that one - together with History Cache 002 GCH5G7
... but I got bored of the thread
A great pair of caches and bloomin' tough by bike!

It's the butcher's stone and it applied primarily to beef although it was also used for sugar and spice. It went out of use just before WW2.
DING
Close enough but the word I was thinking of was 'Smithfield'
From Wikipedia:
Smithfield (a London meat market) + stone
Calculated on the basis that for every 14lb (1 standard stone) of livestock purchased, 8lb (1 Smithfield stone) of saleable meat are produced.

OK, it's my first contribution to this thread so bear with me...
I've worded it so it's not instantly googlable (hopefully)
A UK stone is 14 pounds. Agreed?
A [missing word] stone is an obsolete British unit of measure and equals eight pounds.
What's the missing word I am thinking of and why?

Jones the Steam
Dai Station

... now I think Dave covers Scotland, his bit of Wales, part of Ireland and the Isle of Man (or is it Wight?)
We were FTF on a cache in Scotland a couple of weeks ago and I was a bit surprised to see that Deci was the reviewer...

One of slightly more unusual items in the backpack is a short (50cm maybe)length of foam pipe insulation....
Go on then, I'll bite.
Why?
:lol: To place over a barbed wire fence when we realise we've gone the wrong way
It's come in handy probably half a dozen or so occasions and has prevented torn trousers - especially waterproof trousers!

Tick removers - used them more times this year than ever before!

This one is good fun as well Severn Virtual Reward (Worcestershire). A Virtual but it's a sort of Multi
Mark
-
Good choice but she's already done it
But that reminds me, Blenheim and Beyo....nd is another nice big Multi
-
There's nothing like a nice big Multi for a milestone!
This should fit the bill: Kelly's Birthday Cache and then Pretty in Pink
:lol: 
Thanks
A controversial issue

Date then name
Sometimes miss off the year though
I very rarely write cheques out these days but when I do, I have to make a real effort not to put Delta68 after the date!
It just doesn't feel right putting just a date....
