eish I agree with Scottscott, this thread is about helping newbies, not scaring them away from caching because they are now too scared to do the wrong thing and thus come in for revenge. Revenge has no part in geocaching I also agree with CapeDoc. Various unwritten rules should be looked at with a good old fashioned Cape Town style chill pill. - Often I am a fool and forget to bring a pen. If the cache does not have one, why should I not log the cache? I really don't see the point of coming back just to write my name. what I do in such cases, is stab a hole in the logbook with a stick or something, and note that on the cache page. This can now be proof that I have found it, otherwise how would I know there is a hole in the logbook? But on this point, I recon 95% of my cache finds I could just not write my name, and who would know or care? Do any owners really go and check the logbook with a list of finds, and then ensure everything matches up? Sometimes, if the cache is far from home, and in a highly muggled area, if I see the cache, and know that retreiving it would put it at risk, I log the find anyway - after all, I have found the cache - it is extremely rare that I do this, but would you rather I put your cache at risk. I know some of you might have an issue with this, but who have I upset or hurt by doing this - no-one! - I log my caches when I can. I don't always have internet access, and am certainly not going to go to great lengths to log an FTF. Most cachers are adult, and should be able to get over the pain of going to find a cache to find someone found it 2 days before. Learn to cope, folks - cache logs - a simple TFTC is one of the few things that does bug me, (as well as "logged on the move with my geocacher trimble", unless I know I have hidden a shoddy cache, so a nicer log is preferred, but I am not going to go cry about it, or start to hate the cacher involved!

1st baby born in space

the first baby to be born after the falklands war?

the last baby to be born in Falklands before the falklands war?

sad news Capedoc Well, I have a few caches I would like to do, which might go down better with help/company, so if any one is wanting to do any of these caches, that would be great. Won't have too many weekend days free, so if you are free in the week, all the better: The darkness beckons orpheus in the underworld earth wind fire water tartarus chilean mine rescue pristine The series of caches from eagles nest, heading up to defending the caveman, errols cave etc Van hunks cigar lounge - been on my list for waaaayy too long!

Meatloaf it is - your go Cincol!

no, thats very dangerous when you live in a wigwam!

thanks! How did the native American Indians manage to wake up early when they were planning a pre-dawn raid?

its the westernmost point of Africa?

ok I have listed my event for 6 March, just waiting for it to be published

on the subject of high caches, I have done a cache callled "the highest cache in Western Europe" while on a ski trip in France, and I have done 3 caches on lake titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and one in La Paz, the highest capital city in the world But a question to the stats man! I see the favourites can now be viewed as a % faves to logs, although one can't sort by this option I think. What are the most popular caches by % in SA? I did a brief check, among the popular ones, it seems to be : 1 - FCG by Antron - 73% 2 - The Darkness Beckons, by Capeccr - 71% any other stats on that?

can't be ee cummings, there are capital lettters! I'll say Edward Lear

not Howick falls?

hey I have always wanted to do ledges, so that sounds great! Is there a cache currently on that route? If not there should be Capedoc, sadly after living the flat London life, I am not fit enough anymore though Although I just returned from a weeks skiing, which hopefully helped to fitten me up - bloody exhausting! Hmm, I was thinking of sundowners on the beach for the event, but could maybe set up a pub quiz if folks are keen. I'm also keen to try find The Darkness Beckons, if anyone still wants to find that one!

I will be in Cape Town between 4th and 22 March, so best have an event! Any of those weekends bad for anybody?

used a mirror to blind the goalie?

Hey I am innocent, I am sure Madsons had that plan anyway!. Love your fastfood quote though ) At least you can breathe a sign of relief that its in JHB!

streaked on the field

Not sure if that was a joke Wazat, but you are right The notice board said "As from 27 October, all staff are required to come to work with teeth. If you do not have any, please provide proof you are getting some" Only in Cape Town!!! Your turn
