  1. Does anyone know where the map to show which caches by county you have done. To the best of my memory it showed a coloured map which had different colours for whether you had cached in that county or not, and also enabled you to insert this into your profile page??

  2. Dont get disillusioned, I have not been able to find many caches. Tree cover is a nightmare, and although I have not done this cache, it looks as if it has some.

    Having looked on Groundspeak, There is a cache very near you which I have done called 'North of London Travel Bug Hotel' which is easy in all respects and being a travel bug hotel should have a few of them in.

    sometimes the gps will only get you a reasonable distance from the cache, as you may have to factor in errors by the placer, so don't assume that you are at fault, as I have found many where the co-ordinates are way out.

    Hope this is of some help, and last of all.....WELCOME!!

  3. Luv em....I am always confused why people keep moaning about things like lots of micros etc. I dont enjoy various types of caches so I don't bother doing them, but I wouldn't dream of moaning about them.

    I have just got back from a quick night cache expedition in which I discovered what can only be described as a nano (or maybe even a pico) and it was just as much fun to find.

    When all is said and done, the object is to find something hidden, whether it be an ammo box or a film container you are still looking for an object and hopefully apreciating the scenery around you.

  4. Saw THIS news report on the BBC south news today. The police are asking people that find 35mm film canisters in the street/bushes to hand them into the police as there seems to have been drugs found hidden in them recently.

    I don't know if there are any 35mm micros in Portsmouth (and don't have time to search now) but if you are caching in Portsmouth and either a) Find a canister you didn't expect or :antenna: find a micro missing - bear in mind this story and either tell the police or cache owner.

     

    Or have a dadgum good evening!!

  5. Just to add my 2 penneth, I purchased an XDA exec from O2 for 150 pounds plus contract ( I would have had the contract anyway) and now have a top of the range PPC. I run GPX sonar and MM navigator with a datalogging GPS and also have a TT910 which gives me navigation to the parking as well as a bluetooth phone kit.

    I used to run TT on a 5550 and then switch it off and use MM to walk to the cache and this was a bit clunky to say the least.

    The XDA exec seems to be a far superior PPC to the 5550, screen resolution etc etc.

    I guess it is all down to personal preference, but I have reached this situation over a couple of years and it works for me.

    Saying this, my son (13) purchased a mio 138 (think thats the right no) and it seemed exremely fast and a cracking bit of kit and for the money, IMHO a real bargain.

  6. I use a MDA EXEC and it is awesome, doubles up as a phone and very cheap, cost me £150 plus £30 per month (which I would have sent on a phone anyway).

    I have memory map running on it plus mobipocket and gpx sonar and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
