.......BBC web site: "Parts of the Windsor Castle estate fall within the zone, and a number of precautionary measures have been introduced - gates have been closed, disinfectant pads established, and the deer park closed." ....which is good enough for me.

I have now temped the caches in Windsor Great Park which, I have been lead to believe, has been largely closed down. I have also asked the other short, fat guy with beard and specs to temp those of his caches which can be reached by footpath only. Perhaps other local cachers who feel their caches are on paths in possibly agricultural areas could do the same.........

Great thanks for the clarification, the 5 O'clock news interview I caught on the way home was not very specific. Yeah I know, but when I suggested to the Boss I couldn't make work tomorrow because of the restrictions he told me he would be around at 0600hrs with a disinfectant spray

There is now a 10km control zone around Stroude Lane, Egham and the Dept of Trading Standards for Surrey have announced that they have had a closure order on all public footpaths (I presume within this 10 km zone) confirmed. I have yet to check out the area but I am sure this covers quite large parts of Windsor Great Park and could encroach on to parts of Swinley Forest.

Try here.

...............I closed the other one, which was empty

Hi Pat and Jeff, Have a "Butcher's" ( ) HERE!!!! See you there???? E

Sort of a BUMP I popped into the BH&C yesterday morning to warn of the seemingly increased number likely to attend. "No problem!" said the Gaffer, Paul Bancroft, so see you there

...................but probably not for TV eh Paul

Having met the good Doc and his lady in Sunninghill this is one congrats thread I am glad to add my name to, Well d ne guys! Ecky

..............and if I read the cache page correctly possibly from Australia

He will indeed , and I hope it is

DING is a four letter word for you Max ..........and for the purists only Ned's cottage in the film was at Niarbyl, but good enough!

DING is a four letter word for you Max

...........very, very close, 2.5 out of 3

Sorry, I hadn't read FFB's reply OK, what 3 letter word links Niarbyl, the lottery and Glenrowan?

Essex published a few minutes ago

NOW THEN That bloke is shorter, fatter, more bog-eyed and scraggier than me

..................a little more precise an explanation please, though I have the sneaky suspicion you are right the sting is in the tail ???????? have a good hol then ? glad you picked up something even if you couldnt cache .. FFB is alluding to the fact that there are 2 types of Manx cat. A rumpy has no tail and a stumpy has a short, rudimentary tail. A big DING to FFB! Ecky

..................a little more precise an explanation please, though I have the sneaky suspicion you are right

OK what's the difference between an "Rumpy" and a "Stumpy"?

.......Anatomy of a Murder??????????????

A few footpaths were closed to protect the clearance operations, rather than to prevent the spread of disease. The blanket ban on the IOM has now been lifted, although contrary to UK advice there is still a ban on walking off-trail. The Manx Grand Prix will go ahead although with many precautions and limitations. ......................the closure notices and blue and white tapes were still in place on all footpaths around Port St Mary and Gansey this morning []

Hi Mrs B, I am back in UK on Monday or Tuesday, I'll send you one then! Ecky
