  1. Hopefully the GAGB will be absolutely incensed by the cheek of the Government using GAGB guidelines against geocachers, and will immediately put them right on this outrageous statement. Although I might wait until a few pigs have flown past before checking whether the GAGB bothered...! AIUI, the GAGB guidelines say no such thing. UK reviewers might require specific permission for SSSIs and NNRs, and the guidelines might urge care, but that's not the same as what the Government claim. For that, some SSSIs and NNRs are among the most suitable locations for Geocaching (e.g. those on Dartmoor). So it would seem that the Government are being somewhat economical with the truth. Geoff Shock horror a goverment economical with the truth.
  2. Do you dip them in your eggs Yeah along with my chips and egg
  3. Being an admin or moderator on any forum can be a thankless task, I have had many years experience running my own forums and being a moderator. It can start off as a nice experience and a chance to change things for the better. It can soon turn nasty, all it takes is a few influential members to turn the tide and you have a mutiny on your hands. The worst time is when a forum reaches critical mass, the people sitting at the top of the tree looking down can no longer see the ground or the members below and the first thing that goes out the window is the support of your "superiors". Too many good and decent moderators have been lost this past year and it is a real shame. Time for GSP to a hard long look at what is going on and go back to basics. Geocaching is supposed to be a hobby to be enjoyed by folks all over the world. It's no longer a hobby, it's now bogged down with so many "rules" and "guidelines", that many well established cachers are now turning their backs. What is the point in doing something if it is no longer a hobby? I may laugh and joke with my smilies and make light of certain situations, now it has gone beyond a joke. I have never met Lucilla, however I have chatted to her in the UK chatroom on several occasions and she a charming wonderful woman. Some of the comments that have been bandied around by well established members have left me shaking my head in disbelief. The whole system is starting to decay and something needs to be done. Throwing around "playground" insults is not the way to start the ball rolling.
