[Best Caching Equipment]

At the cheap end =iIt's perfectly possible (and still enjoyable) to go caching with just the most basic GPS and printouts of the cache pages, you should be able to pick up a bog standard Etrex for about £60-£70, or less if you go second hand. In order to go paperless you can pick up some sort of PDA for under £50, I used to use a Palm Zire (available on Fleabay for about £15) with Cachemate, nowadays I use my Sony PSP.

 

Don't know about the top end stuff as I can't afford it

 

on this never haveing a pda befor

i take it you get the pda download and install cachemate then what do you have to do, like how do you get the caches off the web site, i take it you have to be a premier member to get them.

if you can help i would be most gratfull.

 

i just use the old method, print sheet off take it with me and using the basic e trex

 

cheers

[how many]

Unsure if this has been asked befor but

 

I know on the main gc site it give the amount of caches in the world but how many are there in the uk

[Standard Of Trades?]

I dont always trade my swaps anyway, for me its the finding of the cache.

 

Saying that thou this thread has made me think, because i am trying to work out what to put in my first cache i am sorting out for my scout group

[travel bugs]

i coud just send a small tent with them

[seperate caches or stages of a multicache]

 

The best multi-series we have done was an abandoned bridge ruins series. There were three multis. Each was a micro on an abandoned bridge abutment, which led to an ammo box nearby with a log and a history of the bridge. The bonus led to an ammo box with copies of a CD-ROM that contained a digitized plat map of the county from 1880, showing all the bridges. A very well-thought-out multi series, and one of our favorites!

shame i live:

NW 3926.5mi from your home coordinates

from it cos it looks well good.

 

im gna try to think of a theme to link them up such as common hiing places but then it might get easy towards the end?

 

also the bonus. should it be like a large type? im stuggling to think of a good place to hide one

[travel bugs]

Hi all

 

I am a scout leader (for my sins) and was wondering it could be a good idea to get and set free a travel bug and keep track of it with my scouts to see how far and where it has gone.

So where do i get them from and how do i leg them go.

I suppose the first place would be to look at the geo web site. but i have not had the time yet and it is only an idea. i would also hope to set up a cache for the scouts as well.

 

Any help would be most gratfully received

[wish you had container]

Hi

 

has anyone else been at a location thinking, this would be a good loc to place a cache but didnt have anything with you, also knowing you wouldnt be here again for about 2 years.

well this happened to me the other week whilst walking in the lake district

 

Cheers
