Oh thank you. I had forgotten that feature of the site! There are around 40 caches within 10 miles that are premium and unfound. I suppose it's time to think about value now! Thanks RA.

I wouldn't say it's to access PMO caches exactly - just unfound caches in my local area.

Hello. We used to be premium members, but we exhausted all caches nearby and then life got in the way so we let our membership lapse. Is there any way to tell whether there are many new premium caches around? £25 is a lot to just discover the answer is no! Thanks

Twin peaks due to Easter and Summer school holidays?

I find the Windows App to be far more intuitive and easy to use than the Android App.

What irks me most is a friend of mine who likes to log her find with details of exactly where the cache is, spoiling it for others. And, actually, even more than that, her post that reveals that she DIDN'T actually find one of them, but found a red herring instead!

Hi Bluehook This is a Garmin eTrex H, I bought one of these when they turned off selective availability, I still have it as it was my very first GPS. I agree it is still very easy to use. You can find them on Ebay still new for low money. Buy two! CH10UK I've got one - I find it slow to respond and not very accurate! My phone is much better...

You need to use stealth so other people not in the hobby don't see you and then decide to have a look and (unintentionally, probably) steal the cache. Caches can look like anything. It's better not to have pre-conceived ideas. Go and find out! Choose an easy cache, and go and find it. You'll know it when you see it.

Click on the lightbulb icon next to the navigate icon.

Are you referring to the name they use on the logs they leave on other people's caches or the name they use on the cache page of a cache they have placed themselves? I've seen the latter used pretty often but it's not really an account name change. It just gives a little often humorous spin to the cache page and sometimes a hint to the find. To the name they sign logs with when they find a cache, and the name used to log online.

I suppose it makes it difficult if the CO checks the log against the online log.

The title says it all really. In the seven months I've been geocaching, I've noticed one account has had four different usernames - and what's more it changes back to one of the earlier names between times. I don't know why people do this. I can understand a change of name, but not a change, change back, change again, back to the first one etc etc etc. Any ideas?

If it's a different container hidden in a different way, yes.

Quite often a cache is moved several metres for varying reasons. I think it's sometimes okay to re-find a cache in these circumstances.

I generally just take a pencil. Sometimes tweezers too!

In the church micro caches, it tells you how to add to the series at the bottom of every discription. I think it's the same for the Sidetracked series - if I couldn't find out how to do it, I'd send a message to someone who already owns a cache and ask them. Essentially, you email someone and they tell you the serial number to use before you send your cache for checking.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Having found 164 caches (and counting), we're now thinking ahead to when we will have a cache or two of our own. Before we go too far with planning and ideas, how can I check for other caches with the same name? Clearly it wouldn't matter too much if it were on the other side of the world, but it could be nearby, and I wouldn't want to stand on anyone's toes. Thanks.

I'm a lurker! We started geocaching this year as a "New year new hobby" idea. I'm hopelessly addicted and just wish there were a) more hours in the week and more caches near me!
