We use them regularly for t-shirts that get crumpled and washed.
My only thought would be that to iron them on, you have to get the iron really hot. What are the flags made out of?
these are the ones http://www.skyblueleisure.co.uk/acatalog/W...Flag_3_x_2.html
thanks

Morning all.
I now have some white flags for personalising.
has anyone used the computer paper that you iron on for their flags, and was it successful??

will keep an eye out

not been able to scrape a south east team....sorry

Hi im looking for in the south of england and possibly near or on the coast child friendly caches/series. by this i mean ones that carry lots of goodies that will entice a child e.g. bouncy balls that are on series of around 6 miles (10 miles max) and has lots to do (a few hundred within a 4 mile radius would be great).
Ive looked at Eastbourne but they seem to mainly be micros along the seafront.
any ideas would be appreicated as its getting close to us going away soon and im desperately looking for somewhere to go fast.
There is the cuckoo trail from Polegate to Heathfield......many are micros, but there are some bigger ones and I have an ammo box up there. There are a lot on the seafronts near here too (as you know).....but micros again sorry.

we called out 'We know where you are going' to another party we saw head down and off to the cache we had just found.......and they were not on the recognised footpath....another giveaway
I tried this one once
, well the guy had a GPS and was collecting the info required from the right place ...Turns out he was not a geocacher at all
although a few days later he mailed my caching account and said he is now Like it

I just noticed that you can now move some of your trackables into a Collection. Keeps them out of your drop off list when you write a cache log.
Fab idea I thought.
Couldn't see a thread on this so thought I would post in case other people haven't noticed.
Link at the top of your profile page.
Thanks for that. I know it was mentioned as a good idea at some point
ETA it says on that page to remove from circulation.....confused can it be explained ??? Does being in the collection mean you cannot drop in an event? -
can it be magnetic?

hiya Guys...Right got Cachemate on the PDA and got GSAK but when i send the logs across to the PDA via GSAK I'm only getting limited info..ie cache title coordinates and that's about it ....Really looking to get hold of the hints description etc .... Now do i take it that if i become a premier member...Then the info i can send then would be as what i need ...Any help most appreciated....MP
export as a GPX/LOC file and onto PDA....then import into cachemate....think that is how I do it, but still learning so I am sure there is someone more clued up about it than me

Both of my Jeeps are trackable (TB1X0G5 and TB2EF4Z), and have been seen at events.
I have a vinyl cutter, so made my own stickers, using the numbers from a couple of Jeep GeoCoins I bought and registered (but not released).
I think I might have made the numbers too small, since not many people have logged them. I also think cachers don't bother logging them, thinking they will only get a standard TB icon. Anybody who logs my Jeeps will get a Jeep icon and / or a Tread Lightly logo icon.
I have been meanign to get round to turning the rear wheel cover on my landy to a TB. COuld be about 2'
tall.I have a black canvas cover at the moment any one know where I can get a transfare or Iron on sticker made at reasnoble cost...
Plan A was to buy some masking film and spray but have not got round to it yet
not sure if I am allowed to post linky but here goes http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/

stupid question but going to ask - do we need passports??? Would love to come if in the summer hols
UK to Northern Ireland by Ferry - No Passport required
UK to Northern Ireland by air - Honestly don't know
UK to Southern Ireland by Ferry - Drivers Licence should be adequate . Have travelled Holyhead to Dublin many times by Ferry and never even been asked for id.
UK to Southern Ireland by Air - not sure but you will need some form of photo id probably a passport.
Crossing the border from Northern Ireland to Southern Ireland by car /train/bus/bicycle/ donkey - nothing required - theres not even a checkpoint.
For those who would be bringing a car - you must have your drivers licence AND insurance documents with you when driving in Southern Ireland.
NO dates have been aranged or discussed .2014 has been sugested but thats as far as it goes and would be the very earliest date we would be thinking about.
Perth Pathfinders - thanks but at least those from South of the Border can drive to Perth . I hope to get there myself, but as you can see when a ferry crossing or a flight is involved it seems to put people off.
We would be depending on at least 250 or more to make the trip across the sea to make the numbers for a Mega.
Sounds promising Beefy thanks. I always have problems with ID as I have no "acceptable" photo ID

stupid question but going to ask - do we need passports??? Would love to come if in the summer hols
When I flew to Dubin last year I needed mine. When I've crossed over on the Fishguard crossing I have always been told to bring it, but it's never been checked.
No idea if you'd need one to cross into Northern Ireland, but these days internal flights usually want a passport as ID so I'm guessing the answer would probably be yes.
thanks....that would count us out sadly.....don't have them and would be v.expensive to get for the whole family
If you're flying to Northern Ireland, you don't need a passport. However, you do need picture identification (i.e. a driving licence) but this isn't the case with Ryanair who like to make you jump through hoops and produce a passport anyway (Easyjet don't have this rule when flying from Luton to Belfast).
we would have to go by ferry as flying is out of budget (we are driving to scotland this year
) -

not sure how valid this still is but if coming by ferry:
Drivers license should do trick, for kids birth certificate. But worth ringing and finding out.
*edit - and for our answer : We as so many would look to make it a week/two week holiday
off to look...thanks. Hope they will take Mrs S's Birth Cert too

Hi All
I am not sure whether my opinion will change anything but here goes anyway....
How many people/ teams attended previous Megas?
Weston had 528 teams, we were 1 of them
. We travelled 100+ miles to get there, and i know a few travelled further.However we would have loved to attend Perth, but this is just too far
So the main point to all this is how far are most cachers prepared to travel?
How many cachers from the SE or NW would travel to the opposite end of the country for a mega?
I think that there are probably enough cachers in each of the areas to justify a mega on their own, and if you held 5 in a year they would all attract similar numbers.
Does anyone know how the concentrations of cachers in the uk are at the moment or even how many there are?
I am only guessing but would not be surprised to find there are 40,000+ teams, so if only 10% would attend an event thats 4,000 and being generous and say that each event had 800 attendees the country could support at least 5 events...
However i think only one event should carry the "UK MEGA" label, and this should probably up to GC to moderate on.
Well just a thought
we are going to the Mega in Perth as we can tie in with 'want to visit Scotland' but will take 3 days drive and 2 stop overs to get there....but it is a trek
..........if more than one we would have to weigh up pros and cons and where...camping in the cold doesn't really work for us....sorry -
we have a TB in our car - window cling, and a tag with the number for our rucksack. Think I got it at GeoTees
-
another thing - I am in Sussex and feel that with the 2012 Games in the area (whichever county around london) an event on this scale would prove expensive as I suspect people will rack up prices - be it venue or accomodation etc etc
-
personally as a family and holiday time limited I suspect we could only manage one a year in the summer holidays.

email sent.......await an answer

thanks....can't think why it would move as it is hidden in a specific place referring to the clue....might email that finder
We watch this space

I have a cache which was not able to be found by a cacher who would be quite capable of finding the cache, then someone logs a find, but on looking for it myself it is AWOL. Since replaced it, but cannot understand the found log when the cache was not there......any suggestions???
, well the guy had a GPS and was collecting the info required from the right place 
although a few days later he mailed my caching account and said he is now

Thanks dave, will check but suspect that the cotton aspect is right....I did wonder. Think I might have to get my needle and cotton out and find some fabric
See you there, hopeful that we will be near the main buildings
