A pre-war motorbike (thank heavens for google!) Errmmmmm....have we dropped the "thou will not use Google" rule then???? here Ahh Cr@p! All laugh as the newbie falls foul of a rule in a closed thread.... Sorry! Original post edited to remove my naughtyness!

If they were cachers, presumably they 'logged' their find!

Ooops

Just wondering whether one is better than the other. Fugawi seems to be (slghtly) cheaper and to have more world-wide coverage (and is compatible with more 3rd party maps). It is also Palm-friendly. I have used memory map and have found it to be very easy to use. What does eveyone think?

Being a good cacher, I'm sure that you CITOed it!

Good spot, are these the official lock n lock ones do you know? According to She Who Must Be Obeyed, they are the real deal.

QVC are currently running lots of offers on Lock 'n Lock boxes.

Umm, sorry to be a pain but how does this relate to the topic? The link is about facebook But is not, in all fairness, related to the original question.

Wouldn't you HAVE to leave a note to drop it? As I understand it, the OP was asking whether or not he should log a return visit to drop off/pick up a TB as a find or whether there was another option...

In these circumstances I use the 'write note' log feature to record my visit and the TB drop/pick up.

As long as the listing clearly and explicitly states that the cache requires climbing skill/experience and equipment, and that a lack of these will result in injury,death or (Gulp!) worse, I don't see why/how people would have a basis to complain. There appear to be loads of these 'true' 5* caches in the US...

Just a quick note to report that 'little g' TB has been liberated from GCWVV2 'Metal' after seven months in residence. Happy new year!

We'll probably try for a couple ofgentle caches in the Forest of Dean.

For people you have added as friends, yes. For other cachers in general, no.

Other than to say that I was born a geek, was raised as a geek and will die a geek I don't really try (although I have been known to say its a bit like orienteering without the Kagool and with Snickers rather than Marathons...). Instead, if someone asks what its all about and they seem to be genuinely interested, the Mrs and I just take them caching. Sometimes the bug bites , sometimes it doesn't

I think you are straying off the subject........ Not really. You stated that you feel that the value of a Geocoin is inconsequential. I merely took the opportunity to call your bluff and ask you back up your opinion. You also decided to have a dig at those who have expressed concern and anger over the fact that someone knowingly sold a stolen geocoin even though the owner offered (as I understand it) to pay for its return but I don't really know how to respond to that without being told off by the moderators.

I guess that's a no then!

Can I have a tenner to buy a couple of gallons of petrol then? PM me and I'll let you have my PayPal address...

Looking at the buyer's feedback it looks like he/she bought it becuase it is a shiny and pretty thing with Celtic swirls on it, presumably for use as a keyring.

The same way that someone who takes your car from a car park is stealing it . Just because an item is not actually physically in your possesion does not stop you having legal title (ownership) of that item.

Ordered a copy today from Amazon.de (not sure what kind of shipping but it was quite cheap for German postal rates) so I will let everyone know what its like once it arrives. Mike

Many thanks Scott - it looks like I'll be brushing up my German before I go on holiday to Spain! Mike

Hi, Does anyone know if you can get Garmin topo maps for Majorca? Thanks, Mike

In an urban setting that will be fine (GPSrs do not work very well in built-up areas), but you will miss out on so much of the hobby (such as the joy of hunting hollow tree stumps in the woods) without a GPS. Also, I do not think that you will be able to do many/any multicaches or puzzle caches using Google maps... Before you return your GPSr, please, please give it a try in its natural environment - the great outdoors!
