I've just replaced the camera from my Newbourne Springs cache in Suffolk. The pictures are now available here. I've tried to put names to faces where I know the cachers from the East Anglian cachers meetups or when it's obvious from the logs. It does seem that there must be a few people signing the log but never logging it on the website. Is this common?

You must have been having a good day that day Pharisee as you also found another DNF just down the coast at the now archived Iken Icon cache!

Argh! No. There's nothing worse than looking for a tiny micro in the trees.

Whilst out and about caching we've noticed that the typical size of a British cache is a 2 litre tupperware container. However, we really enjoy it when we find a nice big ammo box giving us lots of room to swap goodies. What is the biggest cache container in UK? Was there anything unusually big in it?

'The GIMP' is an excellent image manipulating program and it has a really neat feature that can help getting your pictures below 125k. Once GIMP has started, open the picture then right-click on the image and choose Image, Resize. 640x480 or 480x640 seems about the biggest image you'll get in 125k. However, the image may still be over 125k even now. No problem. Right-click again and choose File, Save as and give the image a new name remembering to put .jpg or .jpeg on the end. A window will then come up with a 'preview' option and the ability to choose the JPEG compression level. If you tick the preview box as you change the compression level you will see the size of the image in kilobytes change. This allows you to fine tune the compression level and still get it just under the 125k limit. Available for all popular operating system like Windows, Mac and Linux here: http://www.gimp.org/ What I'm not sure about, is 125k=125000 bytes or 125*1024=128000 bytes?
