Hi and welcome to this totaly addictive hobby. We were pleased to see you found one of our caches and wish you all the success in your new hobby. Ros & Alan.

HI, 142 found, 38 listed, it's not about the numbers ,we think it's about location, quality and ease of maintenance. Any DNFs are checked and notes posted within 24hrs and if an additional hint required to assist an Email is sent as we like all our caches to be found. We are allways on the look out for places that deserve a cache and if possible this will be done. (If we dont hide them you can't find them). Al & Ros.

Surely this is just a personal perspective. I have no issues with caches in graveyards. I would have no wish to be buried in a place which excluded everyday living folk and I wouldn't wish for any close friends or relatives to be buried in such a place. If you don't like caches in graveyards don't do them but please don't foist your views onto others. Is this not a forum? and is this not what it's about? so have we not just read your view on this matter!!!!!

Who's got our "Billy no Mates" TB E9Z06K"? and "Al's Best of British" Geocoin CPTFX3. Both last seen in the UK and not logged out of their last caches but checked and not there. I think the problem is universal, we have coins abroad that seem ok. It's the same old story, if you have something somebody wants bad enough, they will take it.

In your opinion...... In my opinion, it's my opinion that counts.

I bet you come back and have another look

No worries, I'll do it for you

Hi all, as the owner of 30odd caches at the time of writing I feel some justification in the placement of micro caches. The caches we own are, where individual the normal Tupperware type containing the usual swaps. Some of the caches are placed on circular walks of up to eight miles and nine caches, so to place a regular size cache at every location and stock it with something different would be daunting.(you only need a certain amount of bouncy balls). The hunt should be about the area in which the cache is locating and the interest generated by the finding of different types of cache, so a mixture of sizes and contents is an acceptable way to end a days caching. (it's wrong to be different, everybody is different, so, everybody is wrong.)!!!!!!!

Hi E, sad to hear the news, but hey more free time. Just a public thank you for all the instant reviews in the past and good luck in the future. As a note. I submitted a series of traditional caches on a circular walk in my area and was informed by a guy in Georgia that I may consider listing as a multi. It's nice to know that someone the other side of the pond is so interested in me and my caches. (It makes me feel special). I did reply and it seems that all is well because when I arrived back home they had been listed, so thanks to the new reviewer. Regards Al.

I agree 100% with what kennamatic says here. It is because I agree that I have let Groundspeak know that I no longer wish to review caches or moderate the UK forum. In recent weeks I have, more and more, been instructed to do things I did not actually feel would benefit caching in the UK. I have been instructed, more and more, to do things that I could not actually see the point of. I have been instructed I felt – rightly or wrongly – to implement policies in reviewing or managing caches – that it seemed were not being made public. I tried to debate issues - but as much as GSP were not going to change philosophy, nor was I. Until recently I have felt totally backed by the GSP management team, though I have also felt that, rather than being evolutionary, and at times being prepared to "push the envelope" things had become more fundamental. I don't think this is the right way forward - I know that there are many UK cachers who feel it is, and it is this diversity of opinion that makes for lively debate - and goodness do we have that! I have had a great five years or so reviewing for the UK community and made many friends - I would not have changed it for the world. I have made many good friends, both on line and in the flesh at events - but the time has come to call it a day. I might even talk to my family again between the hours of 1600 and 1900 during the week and often VERY lengthy week end periods - especially if it has been a sunny Sunday! Many thanks to you all - it’s good night from me – and it’s good night from him. PS dodgydaved might now even find chance to visit a cache near you!

Thanks for the reply, I tend to be a loner in all I do, hunting, fishing, hiking, wild camping and anything else so don't attend meets and so read the forums for advice and this is my first posting. I now have the enviable nickname (or is it) of "Billy no mates". I've named a TB as this and this has not moved for months so this tells you something. I got into geocaching via the use of the GPS for camping and hiking. I guess thats why the marriage has lasted 39 years. We like to be alone, together !!!!.

Not sure, but I doubt it after reading some of the comments posted that bear little relevance to the posted topic. This is my first posting, while you are here do you have a take on my original posted question. TNX.

Why don't you just ask for permission? All land is owned and or managed by somebody It's just finding out who, but this was not the question posted, thanks.

I prefer permission-free cache hides involving large ammo cans, lacking any external labels or markings identifying them as a geocache, but bearing markings which read "EXPLOSIVES", and with suspicious-looking wires trailing out from the side of the box, placed in easily visible locations in front of police stations or in front of sensitive buildings on high security military bases. These are sure to present a challenge to finders. Excuse me... I'm sorry... I've really gotta go take my anti-psychotic meds... sigh.... Nice!! Maybe you should think about coming off the medication, you sound OK to me.

Thanks for that, much as the guidelines state, seems a problem to track some information down. Should have mentioned I'm in the UK.

Hi, just a question regarding cache sites. Are there places to locate a cache without permission in the UK, eg. footpaths, bridleways, common land, etc. Thanks.
