I have always wanted to visit Beijing in winter to see the amazing ice sculptures so I'm guessing that if it's cold enough for that its cold enough for winter sports so Beijing is now my guess.
Thats a ding to colleda !

Not Seoul, Sydney or Helsinki.
Big hint now - it is one of the cities that has hosted the summer olympics since Sydney (2000)

Moscow?
Nope, not Moscow.

Maybe a bit more difficult than we thought judging by the lack of answers so here is a hint:
The city has also hosted the summer olympics.

Thank you for the ding - we were fans of Spike Milligan.
We'll change the subject but keep seasonal - what is the host city for the 2022 winter olympics?

Don't understand the question, it must "settle".

If its any consolation, those are the answers we thought -now we have googled it we are a bit wiser.

From the south west of England - GC45H98 Kernow killers- Matthew Weeks.
There were another 3 caches about Kernow (Cornish) killers but these have now been archived.

As of today 10/11/19 my travel bug "Starting Line" https://coord.info/TB48GKB (a stick with tape on it) is in the Netherlands after traveling 2,796,585 miles since 2012. I entered it into a travel bug race, and it's been racing since. A Flight Steward from Thailand picked it up, and being an avid geocacher and world traveler, he may have put me in Top Spot. Some time ago I contacted GC headquarters and they can't separate "virtual" from "ground miles" on the computer.
The same cacher has had your trackable since July 2012 - we would be interested to know if they (1) still have it in their possession (2) actually take it to every cache logged as visited.

03/09/2019A good long search but no cache to be seen. A few no shows now. Time for owner to check please.
Found it
03/09/2019Missing? Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.
Needs Maintenance

Bumping this thread as we have received this log on an EARTHCACHE - we've added the bold, just love attention to detail.
Found it
10/10/2019What a lovely day in and around Newquay, the weather forecast said it would rain this afternoon, but all we had all day was a bit of light drizzle which did not last long.
We parked up on the road (as it was allowed after 31 sept) and made our way down to the beach. Nice walk over to the cave and in we went. After discussing the questions, taken some photos it was time for us to move out to let others in.
Many thanks me N u for placing and maintaining this cache; We signed the log and replaced as found.
The finders knew it was an earthcache as they sent answers to the logging tasks.

Temporarily Disable Listing
03/01/2018It seems the sign which toppled over -see previous notes is no longer there. Please could the CO check or archive the listing
Please respond in a timely manner ( that is 30 days ) to prevent possible archive.Throwdowner #1
Found it
15/03/2018We replaced this cache on our holiday tour in six different countries.
Now its magnetic on the big sign at the entrance. 24m off the original coords. This sign not more exists.
Thanks for hiding the boxes to all owners.

23/03/2019There are 3 signs around the park and I searched all of them but no cache. Replaced with a black magnetic micro on the sign nearest the co-ordinates. It’s on the post furthest from the park entrance

That is the common plural, the uncommon being mongeese.

Thank you.
We'll stick with animals for the next question-
what is the common (according to the Oxford English dictionary) plural of mongoose?

We'll hazard a guess at its legs then.

First person to actually make it to ground zero and meet the requirements of course.
Just like with traditional caches, the person that actually makes it to ground zero and signs the log is the first person to find the cache. Doesn't matter if he logs online a week after the next person comes along, he's still the first to find..
25 minutes ago, arisoft said:How the first person knows that he is the first one?
I know one local geocacher who posts only a picture of the empty logbook without signing it to let others to have the FTF.
Curious as to why there would be a logbook for a VIRTUAL cache (our bold in the quoted replies).

Found it
02/10/2018We decided to log this as found but we didn't actually touch it, we saw it and climbed to it, but those pesky guardians of the cache (wasps nest) prevented us reaching it! Picture attached to prove the find. Tftc

Found it
14/07/2019We spotted the hiding place but like many before us the wasps prevented us from getting up there.
Found it
14/07/2019Like others before us we knew where it was but not attemped it due to the bee's nest

Snipping your quote, we generally pick and choose caches to search for using a GPSr (Oregon 600) not smartphone, in our experience checking for TBs in caches prior to trips is pretty pointless due to so many "ghost" trackables, we count ourselves quite fortunate if a listed trackable is still in a cache.
