  1. Thanks Dave.

     

    Slightly specialist round now.

     

    What height (in hands) denotes the difference between a Horse and a Pony

     

    (caveat this is a generally accepted classification, there are exceptions such as the Falabella which is a breed much smaller than most ponies but is classified as a horse)

     

    Edit: typo.

     

    I reckon it is 14 for a horse, less than that for a pony.

     

    Talking off equines, how many legs does a horse have?

     

    Six, two at the back and forelegs at the front.

  2. Please give the holder a chance to log it into the cache.

     

    I get a bit annoyed when a trackable is grabbed from me before I have got home and done my logging; especially if I am on holiday or a weekend away.

     

    When I have grabbed a coin that another cacher has placed in a cache and not logged it, i will then place it in the cache I found it. I also give the cacher a courtesy message to explain what I have done. That way the owner knows where it has been, and the other cacher does not have his/her toes stepped on, as well as the trackable being accurately recorded

  3. Thank You heartradio for passing on this sad news about Lindinis

     

    I knew Ernie B (as he was then) in my early days of geocaching, when I lived down in Somerset.

     

    He had set some lovely caches, including a series which ran from the seaside near Weston Super Mare, to West Bay at the English Channel just south of Bridport. It was designed as a route - about 60 miles, and 56 caches - Probably to be done by car.

     

    Well I picked a day in August - not too hot, thankfully - and went on my bicycle and did the whole series - the crossing of the Somerset Levels being the only level part of the route, only DNFing one, that had gone missing. I filled in my logs, stating that, and Ernie was out two days later, to replace it; concluding that it had been muggled by badgers. It takes some dedication to establish, maintain and respond that quickly to DNFs. A fantastic example to all.

     

    He will be sorely missed

  4. Hi there

     

    Another way to meet one or two people is to attend an event.

     

    I am not sure exactly where you are based, but there is a Northants Natters on a monthly basis. The next on is here: Northants Natters # 20 at the end of the month in Sywell. If you are more Silverstone side there is a monthly BAD (Bicester and District) meet. You have just missed the last one, but they are normally held at the end of the month too. Keep an eye out on notifications, or search for events.

     

    Go along to them, people are friendly, and more than happy to talk to anyone.

     

    Best of luck and may see you at one of the BAD events, NN are normally too far for me to go.
