  1. Secondly, if I am attacked by a crazies, it would be a hell of a lot more fun to beat them senseless with a hiking staff than to 'just' shoot them

     

    This quote from the posted thread is just unbelivable !! I could comment with my true feelings about this but I Really don't want to be banned !

     

    Simply Paul - I can confirm that there are Wild Boar coming back. Have a look here - Wild Boar Webpage.

     

    My wife was walking in the Forest of Dean yesterday on a non-geocaching expedition (the fool !!) when she came across this :

    Product Description:

    For the millions of GPS owners who love their GPS units but don't know all they can do with them, this fun guide shows that a GPS can do a lot more than just calculate a location. Dozens of illustrated examples show how a GPS can be attached to a multitude of devices, including dogsleds, race cars, hot-air balloons, windsurfers, pet animals, ski racers, hockey players, and sailboats. Each example includes maps and photographs to inspire hobbyists, airline passengers, athletes, animal lovers, drivers, teachers, and students to track and map their activities. How to incorporate GPS mapping technology in the classroom in order to reinforce science, math, and geography curricula, provide the groundwork for project-based learning, and show students that their schoolwork is important and relevant is discussed.

     

    Wonder if we're in there ??

  3. If you click 'Hide and Seek a Cache' on the front of the Geocahing.com main page, you can put in Latitude and Longitude to perform a search.

     

    If you go to either www.streetmap.co.uk or www.multimap.co.uk, you can get lat/long by clicking a location on the map.

     

    Combine these two and hey-presto ! Caches close to whichever location you choose (town or country).

  4. I'm not sure I can add much to this discussion but . . .

     

    In the UK, most 'urban' caches are micro's (35mm film canisters usually), the bigger sizes are saved for rural locations. That's the point, what sort of terrorist would plant a bomb in the middle of the countryside ?

     

    IMHO anyone who plants an urban cache bigger than a micro is a bit stupid . . . .

     

    As far as paranoia is concerned I don't really want to go there . .. but, recently the BBC showed a very good three part documentary series 'The Power of Nightmares' - have a look at the BBC's description of it HERE
