  1. If you read the logs on THIS CACHE you will see the circumstances in which I removed a cache which wasn't mine.

     

    A note was left on the cache page by the owner of one of the TBs in the cache asking if his TB was still in the cache. Since I was the person who had left it in the cache some 5/6 weeks earlier I offered to go and check.

     

    When I got to the cache, I found that it had been muggled. Someone had stolen the ammo box it was in and had simply stuffed the cache contents into the hedge in a white plastic bag which made it very obvious to any passer by!

     

    I made the decision to take the cache home, emailed the owner of the cache explaining what I had done and I also emailed the owner of the TB, explaining the situation and reassuring him that his TB was safe.

     

    The owner of the cache popped by my house a few days later and collected his cache. He later replaced it nearby to the original spot and everyone was happy! :huh:

  2. On that note.. why is it we rarely see a Brit in the geocaching chat room? Sure would be nice to have a more global crowd in there.

    My mum has told me to stay out of chat rooms. :rolleyes:

     

    Yeah, you never know who you might meet! :unsure:

     

    Actually, I met my husband in an internet chat room! :P

  3. It will be your 2 web cam caches. :( I would guess. Will drop Ian an email.

     

    Thanks for the reply, Deego. ;)

     

    But that only accounts for 2 of the 4 missing caches. <_<

     

    I've found 308 caches in total, 2 of those were abroad, 2 were webcam caches... that leaves another 2 which are "missing"!

     

    Thank you for looking into this for me, it is much appreciated. (insert smiley face blowing a kiss!)

  4. Congratulations to me... for reaching 300 today!!!  :blink:  :)  :)

    about time you were on 297 for AGES :D :D

     

    :D:DBig Congrats from me :D :D

    Thanks Deego and everyone else who typed their congratulations. :D Yes, I was "stuck" on 297 for a few weeks but I'm back out there on the hunt now. :D

     

    A question for you, Deego...

     

    Can you explain why the stats on GCUK are missing 4 of my caches. I understand that it won't register 2 of them as they were abroad but it's showing me as having found 302 caches when I've found 308! :D

     

    If you can shed any light on this, I would appreciate it. :D

     

    PS: It does seem to be up-to-date with the 4 caches I found yesterday and I haven't done any today!

  5. I have an Magellan 310.... yes that old !

    <edit>

    Despite all this, I commonly get to caches on trips out with other geocachers before them.......

    <edit>

     

    Only because my Extrex needed new batteries and was losing accuracy! :blink::)

     

    (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!) :)

  6. I mostly sign the phyisical log TNLNSL TFTC. If it's a nice day and I'm in the mood, or the cache is stellar, I'll write a few lines. Otherwise I save it for the on line log. Lets face it how many cache owners go to the cache and read every entry? I enjoy reading the log notifications for my caches and think others will be reading theirs more than the phyisical log too.

     

    I find caches, I hide caches. I support the local organizations. How am I hurting the sport again?

     

    DITTO! :(

  7. Yes, I have 'phoned Seasider a couple of times for help and have been the "fairy godmother" called a few times by H******** H******!

     

    I don't like to be told exactly where the cache is hidden but rather, to have another clue so that I can still find the cache for myself.

     

    Similarly, I will not directly tell anyone asking for help exactly where the cache is but will give them a clue/hint to help them to find it for themselves.
