Excellent utility! Cheers! Seasider

10/15 have bit the dust over the years. You have reminded me to move two of my lost bugs which are listed as being sat in caches but are in fact logged as missing to the UK Travel Bug Graveyard. That's a good tip BTW for the newer cachers to tidy up bug listings. Cheers! Seasider

I'd like to add my condolences as well. I've only just noticed the sad news whilst reading the logs to Joan's Birthday Bash last week. All the best, John

Nice easy one for a Saturday morning - Cobalt is the third magentic metal. Cheers! Seasider

Congratulations to the Gadget Girls aka the Lancashire Lasses! You must have been going some as you were 1700 last time I looked. Cheers! Seasider

I've been out of touch with caching recently so have not been following this summer's number crunching but I am pleased to announce that I've received a text from the Doncaster Dynamo Steviep who says he is already on 72 with over 2hrs 30mins to go until midnight! He has also nabbed his 1000th cache en route! I think the record currently stands at 70 so that's going to be surpassed by some way! No doubt Steviep will update us all in the early hours! Cheers! Seasider

Cachers beware! After the recent report of the panther roaming East Sussex here are details of more cats on the loose this time in Suffolk...(2nd article on Sunday 23rd July blog) 59 cats seen in 5 years and if you scroll further down to the Friday 21st blog you'll see that C5 are planning a program called "Big Cat Search" around the Scrborough & Ryedale area where there have also been lots of sightings! Can't be too long before a cacher meets one! Cheers! Seasider

Glad to see that no-one has been eaten as yet! Cheers! Seasider

Apparently a woman was driving down a quiet East Sussex country lane when she saw a large black cat sat on the road in front of her... Top story (Fri 14/7) then follow link to local paper These caches appear to be in the immediate area... Caches close to the pussy cat's den! So be careful where you go poking your caching stick over the weekend - you might be in for a big surprise! Cheers! Seasider

Great idea BTW. Cheers! Seasider

Hail to the Doncaster Dynamo! Blimey! It was only a couple of weeks ago when you were zooming round West Lancs in pursuit of your 800th! Seasider!

Correct! Next question please... Cheers! Seasider

No, you said low water was 26 minutes before sunset plus the causeway is just 1/2 mile long and takes 10 minutes to cross so no problems there. Indeed, no doubt the journey can commence before the low tide mark and can conclude with the sun still in the sky Since no-one can give me any information on how long the causeway would be water free I have contacted the Scottish Ramblers in the area to give their opinion of the proposed journey (maybe they might join us on the day) and will report back with conclusions in due course. Cheers! Seasider

Nope! Cheers! Seasider

I'm puzzled. What is the reason why it's only reachable during neaps? Sorry - brain not engaged this morning - I obviously meant spring tide. Cheers! Seasider

Not sure who is next... ... so i'll nip in with a quickie... ... what is pedology the study of? Cheers! Seasider

No idea so followed your link. Great question I'll remember this one for my next CAMRA meeting! Cheers! Seasider

This just proves how important knowledge of an area is. Even with an in depth knowledge of tide tables and how they are calculated I would be wary about walking an estuary which I had never visited before. I would always make sure I went with a local. Cheers! Seasider

No. I rely on the hypsography and hydrography published by the Admiralty. Is there any local knowledge which suggests that the Admiralty is wrong? If so, a submission ought to be made to Taunton to have corrections made. Err... the question was aimed at Flipflopnick. But it's interesting that you are making (slightly ridiculous) comments about a part of the coast you know nothing about. The key issue is how long will the beach around the Island be clear of water. Can your charts tell us that? Spouting technical details about harmonics etc. is all very well but is a poor substitute for actual knowledge of the area. Lets wait to hear from Flipflopnick whether he has made this journey before. Cheers! Seasider

I'm interested in this and have noted the comments by Forester. Just one question - do you have local knowledge of this part of the coast? I live on the west coast but further south and often follow the Ribble channel across the estuary and along the line of perches to the sea - sometimes getting 3.5 miles out from shore and sometimes in the dark. Indeed, the furthest perch (Mussel Point we call it) is only reachable at neap tides and in winter can only be done in the dark. On paper it looks dangerous - being 3.5 miles away from shore in the dark with the tide coming in on 3 sides. However, with local knowledge it isn't and infact I'm going to take a cryptozoologist out there in the dark later in the year to show him where I trod on a patch of glow-worms (unknown to this coast) last December . If you have experience of walking to the Island then put me down on the list. P.S I'm not that much of a camper and definitely not a biker so will pass on the rest of the activities! Cheers! Seasider

Exactly the range I had in mind! Next question please... Cheers! Seasider

Cheers! Seasider

Indeed - so what's your answer? Cheers! Seasidr

Indeed they do as they are re-surveyed but I will accept a reasonable figure. Cheers! Seasider

104 no there are more. Easy for a Northern rambler...214. Next question... how many Munroes are there? Cheers! Seasider
