I use a Maxpedition Jumbo E.D.C. Versipack by Maxpedition - link

Buy a Starbucks card and then you can use their WiFi whilst you're logging caches and drinking a coffee

Suggest you go to an event, have a play with other peoples GPS's (they'll be only too pleased to help you). This link is to the GAGB calendar where you may find an event near you coming soon.
this is an EXCELLENT idea and you could always take them with you too

VERY COOL !
-
We found a great spot last year for a camo'd bucket and I was really pleased to place it
Go for it
-
Its fun bumping into others onto an FTF hunt, just as you walk back from the cache
-
Who is your service provider - Vodafone, O2 etc ? they all have different options

Hi
Are there any events being planned for San Francisco to coincide with the Oracle Open World conference ?
With so many people flying in from all over the world it would be great to meet up with fellow cachers
Looking forward to it already

Still - what do people think of the images I've put on-line of this log-book as a historic record of cache logging over the years..?
H
I think it's excellent - I have saved several from overstuffed caches where new books have been added and it's great to see some now very established cachers writing logs for only their first or second finds in these old books. (note to self, must dig these out and go through them again)
-
Planning ahead for a US trip in October, I'm wondering how I can add US maps to my UK Oregon ?
Is it as 'simple' as loading up a microSD card with the Open maps ? or will I have to overwrite/unload my UK basemap ?
All advice gratefully received, before I have any accidents

Barcelona ?
Prague ?
Amsterdam ?
Dublin - Europes 1st ?
cheap flights = most stag party destinations

Although... the logging requirements seem to be less directed solely at the cache owner then they were before. I know some folks are going to have fun with that on the issue of "no sign = no find".
Yes, all seems pretty clear now
(stands aside to let the trolls get to the thread) -
Why is it a difference if someone who pays the geocaching site on a yearly basis finds your cache, or that someone who doesn't spend the money.
Because ... no, I think you need a hug first

Aaagh, 6 weeks too early before we bring the camper back to the west coast
Have a great time and looking forward to grabbing one or two of your caches if they are within range
-
We have a vacuum food sealer so batteries, paperback books, kids colouring sets, party sized plastic recorders - all get vac sealed to keep them dry
20p packs of Tesco pencils cut very nicely thru the bench saw, still in their pack
-
i would like to say a big thank you to Lindinis for taking the time to review caches as soon as they are active... awesome job!
yes Les Dennis is a nice chap, just in his previous 'life' you wouldn't want to get between him and a blank logbook - that's all I'm saying

1. Summer break 2008, in North Wales, UK, the fantastic Landsharkz Gecko geocoin
2. Just after getting home from summer break ;-) we bought three Landsharkz Gecko coins
3. We made our first coin for Summer break 2009
4. In 2009 we swapped a coin at a caching event in Somerset, UK - the Help for Heroes geocoin
5. We found the geocoins first

A decent range of quality options from Dexim here
I've got a couple - PFlip for iphone and a BluePack for everything else with a USB socket

Long live the Peoples Republic of Cornwall !!

From GC15XEZ, now archived 2.5/1
"A non-descript, boring and pointless cache that could be done as a cache and dash if you can find it ..."
This porcelaine throne, this septic spot,
This dearth of majesty, this seat of cars & coaches,
This other midden, never Paradise,
This fortress built of micros for themselves
Breeding infection and the scourge of film cans,
This insane breed of cacheurs, their little world,
This precious GZ set in a tarmacadam sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a 5/5,
Against the envy of more worthy cacheurs,
This accursed cache, this micro, this film can, this pointless find.
(with apologies to Wm. Shakespeare)

Fruit leather would give you preserved vitamins and some natural sugars and is a first-nation trail food
Plenty of options for making it, with or without a home dehydrator

GAGB offline - but happy to read that Somerset will be listed in the Southwest
If you grew up watching Gus Honeybun on ITV then you're in the Southwest
Relive the golden age of TV here
I have been to Cornwall on holiday but otherwise have no connections to the SW, assuming that was aimed at me:Dnot intentionally - can you please push the Magic Button ?

are the inflatable ones any good?
We have a SeaEagle 330 and a SeaEagle PaddleSki and have enjoyed them both - complete with young kids and large dogs, Newfoundlands, on board
The 330 is more compact and ideal for 1 or 1 + child
The Paddleski is much larger and hugely versatile - I can't count how many kids have been on this and it's never tipped on us - and we've used it off the coast with two adults and a big Newfoundland aboard for water training - we also sail it occasionally
Our experience is that you get the quality you pay for, we use these all year and in 5 years have only repaired one tiny hole in the 330 (totally my fault) and the PS has reinforced hull material.
Now that our son is 9, we have had to buy him his own, kid sized, plastic boat so that he can be more independent and we found choosing a child specific Dagger Dynamo is like buying their first bike - pick the right size and they enjoy it rather than getting frustrated as they wait to grow into it.
Check your storage, check your transport options and ideally go try one out
Have fun & stay safe

iPhone users can see the Spot Tracker track on their phones using the "Shared Page" app
This is a chargeable app - we use it as we have several Spots for our schools groups
