  1. Hi All

     

    I am trying to colour in the county of somerset on the geocaching map and done

     

    GCZCF4 Motorway Mayhem M5 J25 – Blackbrook, Taunton which on the map is in somerset but when i do a gsak macro it does not colour in the county of somerset:(

    I have also done M5 J27 And these do not fill in the county.

    So if anyone has done a cache just of the M5 that colours in the county of somerset can you let me know please,we have also done caches in weston-super-mare.

    thanks in advance

  2. I will replace wet or full logs for cache owners that appreciate it.

    As for wet and soggy logs if i replace them,then it is a case of in the bin as the co would not be able to read the names anyway.

    If you also get into the game of posting the co logbook back to them then this can be costly over the year.The trouble also is that there is far more cachers out there now that like to set trails but not maintain then.

    that's my two pence worth.

    Personally (and this is only my opinion - please feel free to disregard), I wouldn't buy walking boots from Sports Direct unless they have an instore Field and Trek concession. I also had to return 2 pairs of Karrimors (I ended up getting a refund the second time). This was because the Metal stud that holds the laces on the top broke. I've seen this several times in some of the discount shops that sell Sports Direct "Seconds" (We had one until recently in my home town).

     

    How funny I had two pairs have the metal stud come away from the boot.

    I think it's time to go somewhere else and avoid sports direct as suggested thanks all for your replies.

  4. Hi All,

     

    What are the best walking boots you have had and were they really waterproof ?

    I have had several pairs of Karrimor KSB boots that seem to keep leaking and have had to return them on several occasions to Sports direct.

    Please List the boots you have and the price you paid.

     

    Thanks in Advance

  5. Don’t you just hate it when you go out and complete a trail, then the owner a week later or a couple of weeks later add some more caches to the trail.

    Why don’t they just wait until they have put the full trail out before submitting them Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. :mad:

    With the price of petrol and then doing the walk again to get the caches that were not published before is so frustrating. Or is it just me that thinks like this. :huh:

    What are other people’s opinions on this?

  6. I use the Log Maximiser script for Firefox to give me more functions when writing logs. When I upgraded to FF4 I lost the Submit button. There is an option in the Log Maximiser called button validate. Turn that off and it is fine. It's the little green circle with white cross on the left of the log box toolbar. I've checked FF4 without this script and the submit button works fine.

     

    If you are not using the Log Maximiser script and want to then you'll find a link to it on my resource site (the script is from Prime Suspect). You'll find lots of other useful scripts on my resource site as well. Link under my signature.

  7. Yes download the Garmin POI_gpx gsk Macro then run it as normal.

    Once downloaded go into the folder that your exported file goes to mine is Garmin poi on my desktop.

    Then once your garmin satnav is connected open up the folders.

    Then drag and drop the exported file you have just downloaded to your garmins satnav GPX folder.

    This will then show the treasure chests on our satnav I use the nuvi 1300.

     

    Hope this helps.

  8. Is there anyone that lives near GC19NGZ as our travel bug has been there since April :)

    we have e-mailed the owners and asked them to move it on without any reply.

    We would really like this to start moving again as we would like to be reunited with it one day.

     

    Thank you in advance :wub:

  9. Hello all,

     

    Does anyone know how I can get the cache symbols to appear on my Garmin nuvi 1300 so if I was just driving down the road with it on I would be able to see a cache say in the next street to me ?

     

    I used to have this but it has now disapeard and is really annoying when you realise later that you had driven past a cache that you have not done.

     

    I have tried several macros but cannot find the right one.

     

    Thank you in advance
