  1. This caught my eye as I've had a similar problem with foot pain. Had knee surgery about 5 years ago and this has had a knock on effect to other parts of the body with various muscle imbalances, the foot problem was very painful. Having lost faith in my GP I went to a podiatrist, had a bio-mechanical assessment and had custom orthotics/inserts made, I use them in all my shoes now, not cheap but worth every penny, tend to only wear walking/running shoes now but along with exercises the problem did go away.

  2. I was just looking at caches on the map in North Belgium. They seem to like puzzles and multis there but unfortunately my knowledge of Dutch is very limited.

     

    Some caches have an English translation in the description but (unless I'm wrong) the only way to find which ones these are is to view each one in turn.

     

    Being able to specify language in a PQ would be great!

     

     

    Thanks

  3. I did :( I own a nanocache less than 1/2 a mile away that I logged it in and out of to get the return journey mileage...... It was still miles off :(:D:)

     

    We have an unpublished (never to be published) cache set at our home co-ords to hold our collection of geocoins which we don't intend to let loose into the world(yet). That sort of thing would make a good point to log back to after each trip...

     

    We don't bother keeping a track of mileage - it's just a reminder of how much derv we've wasted on this hobby/habit :)

  4. Cats-eyes SOM (Sights of meaning) in the Peak District. Several easy drive by's with a few off the beaten track, a highly enjoyable series IMHO.

     

    We haven't done many serieseseses but S.O.M is our current favourite as well. Rather than just a string of micros at random locations, each one is at a location which is interesting in its own right. Cats-eyes' C.O.D series is pretty good as well :)

  5. Oh come on Mark, keep up! :D

     

    Anyway, don't change yours or I'll have to update my database :D:D

    We would have changed it if it had been possible when we first started, but with 400+ finds and 12 hides, I think we're past the point of no return now... :D

  6. How come jim_h has changed his name to TheCluehunter3 ?

     

    See thread 'Easy cache needed in Langley Mill' and click on Topic Starter

     

     

    Edited to add:

    The sub title should, of course, have read 'I thought name changes were not possible!'

  7. The two caches I mentioned originally were just two that I had happened upon that week. I could have post other examples.

     

    This one for example has only had two visits and I wouldn't be suprised if this was partly due to that fact that it's listed as a puzzle rather than a multi.

     

    We quite often go to an area with two or three caches in mind and then see what else it in the area when we get there. Looking at the icons on MemoryMap, we'd more than likely skip over an unknown and do a multi or traditional instead

     

    I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with them - just that they more often than not require prior planning.

  8. Surely this one is a multi not an unknown.

     

    and I've seen several others like it

     

    whereas ones like this should be an unknown rather than a multi.

    and there's quite a few more like this as well.

     

    When we set our first cache we erroneously called it a traditional when it was infact an offset/multi. We later changed the clues so it was a trad after comments from other cachers...

     

    I would have thought it quite important to get it right as cache type is the only thing that cannot be changed at a later date.

  9. There's a cache not too far from us which was moved 2822.7 feet to a totally different road and with a new container.

     

    I'd have thought that should have been archived and a new one started - it could still have the same name after all.

     

    If it was a new cache I would be tempted to go and do it, but finding 'the same' cache twice* would just look silly on the log.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    *yes, yes, I know you can find YOSM over and over again but that's supposed to be like that :laughing:

  10. If any of the remaining cache hiders would no longer wish to hide a cache please let me know and I'll readvertise. Thanks :laughing:

     

    :D

     

    We're still up for it!

    Just that having got back from hols work gets in the way!

    (We both have jobs that include working at the weekend -me alternate weekends!)

     

    Soon -promise.

    If KandG change their minds we'll willingly place a quality cache for Warwickshire :)
