I think my brother, The Rookie might have another record to claim.
He's found over 100 caches aged 17 (and logged them under his handle).
-
I should be there, mind you it is an expensive meet.
It has cost me a bed, a carpet, paint and a lost weekend - but then I'm free, free I tell you, free to roam the hills ...... Yes dear, coming now!
LMAO... good to hear you'll make it!
The pints in Dublin will more than make up for it.
Make sure to bring the Northern Bank notes...

I lay claim to be Seasider's equivalent in Ireland
I'm at least 40 cache finds ahead of the posse!

I've done that on my cache near Bristol. When I come over I usually leave a geocoin, a Jeep and a normal TB, or a combination of two of those.
It always gets a visit shortly afterwards.
Wonder why? -
I've had the privilege of having been to the cache and have met the cache owner.
Marcus is a great photographer and an all-round gentleman living in the south-west of Ireland (Cahirciveen, County Kerry).

Harviestoun make a really nice ale called Bitter and Twisted (CAMRA Supreme Beer Champion of Britain in 2003).
Using a blend of Challenger and Hallertau Hops, as well as another one for Late Hopping, it has a real lemon-flavoured twist to it, and is very drinkable because it only has about 30% of the co2 that other beers have.
If that's anything to go by, Haggis Hunter Ale should be pretty good.
(*Thanks to wildlifewriter who kindly sponsored 4 bottles of B&T for me earlier this month*)

Congrats lads - a true feat of madness.
I must check my records and see how many Irish counties I've cached in over the course of 24 hours. I suspect it's no more than between four and six, because we've never really tried to attempt a record... but it's given me some thought!
In England my record is a mere... two! Avon... and Somerset.
I'm not sure if Avon is still considered a proper county.

He even got a new avatar for the occasion
and it looks very like me...doesn't it!
Yep, you even managed to get your favourite Superman Pyjamas in there
-
You ain't seen me, right?
No - but Jemima and Tarquin[1] were seen buying sweetie mice with 50-pound notes, the other day.
It's a dead giveaway, is that.
[1] - Not their real names.
While their father drank a pint of beer and ate a packet of Bullseyes

I had to move a cache in Sligo called Terminal 2. I don't have the link but what happened was that the cache was placed at the end of an airport runway and while I was signing the log I was shooed away by the Airport Security who wanted me to move... as a flight was inbound and heading for my head!
I felt the best thing to do (as the cache was also soaked because it was right beside the sea and waves must have been breaking over it) would be to move it away but within about 200 yards. And that's what I did - and the owner didn't mind.
-
I'm looking foward to this. After months off the mountains and bike tracks due to illness, I've got itchy feet. I'm also looking foward to seeing a few new faces at the event.

Chance is I could drop something in there next time I'm in Bristol
I'm a bit too busy at the moment to get something together, but would like to visit.
I'm from Ireland BTW - and have visited one of silverspoon's caches (and she's got a great signature item - a silver spoon!)
If you're an avid log-reader for caches in the area, I'm the bloke that locked his keys in his car at Ashton Court

At the Bristol Meet just before Christmas, my Magellan Meridian was having a terrible time hanging on to the signal, though everyone else's receivers seemed to be fine.
I reckon Ozzy, Stuey's dog must have had something to do with it

Hi all,
Just to advertise an event we're having in Wicklow, south of Dublin on the 22nd January. All are invited, flights are cheap, and lifts are avaliable.
Cache page can be found under: New Years Resolution
-
This is all to distract attention from wildlifewriter caching in nude feet (due to the abduction of his boots by Aliens), and to divert attention from Lance Ambu's involvement in the Northern Bank robbery.
-
I had an Irish £20 note given to me today. But I used it to pay for my fuel tonight.
Really? They stopped being legal tender in March 2002
Just in case anybody picked up some 'funny money' on their travels you can track the notes here: www.eurobilltracker.com

i flamed no one! you have insulted all challenged cachers everywhere. shame.
Did I? If you feel I did, I apologise in advance. But unless you can quote something I said where I insulted physically challenged cachers, I'm afraid I can't see your point. Your attitude displayed, and what you have said in here however, has nothing to do with disabilities, be it your own, or others, and this is what I referred to when I quoted the "poor poor pitiful me"* quote.
I'm with Flyfishermanbob on this one. He summed things up well.

And just a short note to say I'm going to bed, as it is rather late.

Why am I in this forum? Becasue I have an interest in caches in your area, I have friends in the UK, I have travel bugs in the Uk including a Mark the Cat.
We could go tit-for-tat but My point is that this thread is off topic.
Edit: typo
Good point. But is your interest enough to warrant involvement in the ongoing situation that has been developing since last week? No, I think not.
As I said, the good-natured banter that has defined this forum in the past would be a nice thing to return to, but this will not happen until you give things a rest and wait until the whole conflict has been resolved.
Saying that the thread is off-topic has nothing to do with what we're discussing. And it is only off-topic since uberdooper came in and flamed everybody.
-
I updated my posting. Please read it.
Wonderful. So it makes my responses look out of context.
I won't read it, because I know and you know what the discussion was about.
PS, I responded for the "Go back to your own forum' comment. I still don't care for it.
So you don't like it. Well, maybe you've missed the point. Please explain to me, in as many words as you need, and in response to my previous post, why did you respond to this thread, as I asked above? Why are you venturing into these forums?
I did not say "go back to your own forums, everyone". I mean that if you have nothing constructive to say, and are only here to pick a fight, as you seem to be trying to do in reference to an earlier discussion, then there's no point. Give it a few weeks, and things should be back to what they were before it all went haywire last week. Then the normal, witty discussions will resume, and everyone will be welcome, and there'll be no hard feelings. In the meantime, it might be best to exercise restraint.
-
the "poor, poor pitiful me" tactics don't seem to be helping you either.
does the word "handicapped", "older", "physically challenged" mean anything to you. numbers do not a cacher make. caring, compassion, love for the sport, and it's players are more important than numbers. not everyone is in their 20's and healthy. -
You and I had this discussion before, didn't we?
The Topic is two reviewers quitting, I can understand posting condolences and good wishes, but when it is being used as a platform for personal opinions and bashing, it opens it to all now doesn’t it? It’s that free speech issue that people are claiming as a personal injustice. Or is that only for a select few?
Yes, I recall, and before I start quoting posts, it was about you pushing your opinions on others. By the way, remarks like "... had this discussion before, didn't we?" sound condescending in the extreme.
There's free speech, and then there's not having a clue about the issue at hand, about how people are feeling, and about just waltzing in and having a go at people for no reason at all.
By the way, what exactly prompted you to reply to this thread?

*duplicate post*

I was referring to uberdooper's flaming and atagonising of other posters, and not you, woof n lulu.
What I outlined in my post was that there is no point in further compounding the situation by starting arguments with frequent users of this local forum. Of course everybody is welcome, but I would hasten to say that while almost all discussions are open to all. perhaps consider that this one is a little more confined to the two UK admins and the immediate UK/Ireland Community.
Once again (*sighs*) this is not an attack on you, your way of life, your country, your lifestyle, but the attitude you display.

No, the cache is about 100 yards away.
But if you check the cache page there should be some pictures of the Whirlpool itself - it's a very interesting natural feature.
In the picture with the wave, if you looked down, that cavity is where the whirlpool is. Water from waves enters through a narrow inlet, and when it begins to flow back out, more enters, creating a spiraling, maelstrom effect.
A description would not do it justice - you'd really have to go there.
