56!! (North Wales)
7 of which are mine and 5 others are in fact further as I live on the coast of N. Wales and these are in the Wirrel, accross the water!!!
Having nothing to the north of me doesn't help, but there is a real Cache Void south of me, so much so that I am putting caches down that way to fill it, the first of which was placed yestarday in Clocaenog forest (Thanks to our friends at the FC)
And just to make it harder for me, Snowdon and the Glyders (3000ft caches) are in those figures, so a few are HARD caches. who said geocaching was easy

Hey, well done M8.
I look forward to joining you over easter
-
Just noticed that the same site has Rock Safes, better known as micro caches
-
I have a defence mechanism against people who might like to eye up my car for a break-in.... I leave a pair of old underpants on the passenger seat in full view.
Someone just sent me this link, i think your old underpants are being sold as a "BRIEF SAFE" http://www.shomertec.com/item.cfm?action=n...s&variable=1164
They come complete with that... umm...errr.. used look

Geocacheres need a GPS to find it!!!
-
Geocachers do it with Tupperware

What they said ^
If you can't get much in it other than the odd badge, coin or button, then it's Micro, otherwise a Small regular cache. I too just say when using small boxes, so it helps people when bringing swaps. If I know I'm going to a Micro cache, then my Swaps box stays in the car and my Micro box goes in my pocket.
-
When you didn't find it last time, did you log it as a find or not find. If you didn't log it as a find, then go ahead. I did the same thing when i found the cache missing, but logged it as a "did not Find". When the cache was rplaced, I then went to the new location and logged it as a find (for the first time).
So really you should only log it once, which should be now as you never actually found it before. Make sense

I like the new look in general, lots of funcionality, thanks for the effort yoo have put in to it. As a Web Designer myself, I can understand the amount of work you have done and still are doing, so thanks again.
One thing I have noticed, i placed 2 caches today and logged them to be approved. I then wanted to add some photos, but unlike the old page, the caches were not listed in "Mine" (as they are not approved yet) so had to use the old page.
The only thing i do miss, but it's not a big thing, is the summary of My caches, with dates visited. maybe there is room to list them on the right, under the TB list???
On a differnet note, there are lots of requests going on here for stuff on this page and i think you should give the basics to standard members, who are getting your services for free and maybe a dynamic version, that "Members" get, which we can select what we want to apear on our front Page. that way members who pay a small amount each month can have what they want on the page.
Just a thought
keep up the good work

well done for getting it sorted so quickly guys, you don't realise how much you use it 'til it's gone
-
well done that man, truly remarkable.
Does that mean No. 1 slot will be open to all next month?
-
I see the table is up

Hmm, I did much better than last month, 13th to 7th but still need more caches to get that 3rd spot.
good job i have already done last months points already for this month and still 2 weeks to go
-
well done on that, lets keep the good work going
-
Nice one Seasider
-
Also with the help of Teasel I am trying to write an on line entry form. But as my php is not good it will take a week or two.
I have a PHP form script you can have if you want it. I use it for basic forms and it is simple to modify
-
Should have mine
So add me quick so i can be No. 1 for at least a day

I know that advertising caches is not normally allowed on this forum, but, once in a while one comes along where the owner merits thanks for the effort he has put into it. I have just spent a very enjoyable afternoon in NE Wales and in particular seeking and finding GCHR93 "Warren Dee Wind Farm" by Mancunian Pyrocacher.
It is obvious that Dave has gone to a lot of trouble in setting up this cache and obtaining the necessary permissions from the land owners and CADW. It is a great location, the hideyholes are well thought out and the whole thing makes for a most enjoyable hour or so especially on a fine winter afternoon as this was - even the snow managed to pass by to the East!
Thank you Dave for this - I hope many others enjoy it as much as I did.
I'll Second that
(apart from the CADW bit, I knew it was CCW LOL

Don't think the ball is up this way just yet, but I'm here when ya need me

I may regret this, but........
Do you still need help????

I have done some checking up since my last email to you and I wouldn't give up on it just yet.
When I visited that cache I found a TB, but not "little muffin". The TB in the cache had not been logged as being droped off, so it is possible that the same person may have taken "little muffin" and put it in another cache up here in north wales, as he does a lot of walking up here (Looking at his cache history and web site).
He has not logged any caches since July last year, but clearly has been to some as he deposit this other TB, but it was still logged to him. This person has done some of the Mountain caches, which don't get visited often, so "little muffin" could be in one of those, only time will tell.
I have emailed the person in question about this, but as yet have had no reply.
There are at least 2 caches in the area that have not been logged since October, including one on the same mountain, so there is hope.
Anyone fancy doing the pyg track on snowdon???? (GCGJWJ)
or Up the wooded hill! (GCF659)
or Circles (GC98B2)

That's it everyone, keep knocking me down the list
Don't worry though, revenge is mine and I will be top 10 next time
-
At least 11 now, let's see how near the bottom I can get

Just been Down near Bath myself and there are a few in the ity Centre and a couple to the north, but mus after that will need a car to get to.
There are also a few in the Clifton Area of Bristol, so if you get a bus or train across, then that's an option.
if in London, then Use the Underground Map link above and just buy a day ticket for the Tube.
There is a Cache near Hethrow too that I would love for you to visit as I have a TB there looking to skip the country and the US would be a great start

86 found and 10 hidden this year.
I have about 6 caches ready to go, all of different sizes, but only 2 have locations ready for them, the others are just ready
If I find a location that i think is of intrest then I will place a cache after researching etc, but I won't place for the sake of it, no matter what the ratio
