I agree. Various Salomon shoes and mids for bimbling about - and a pair of Mammut boots for bigger hills and backpacking

I'll hazard a guess and say there's something screwy with the forum software, as your answer wasn't there earlier. But fair's fair - you take it....

Michigan, Ontario, Superior, Huron, Erie.

Sorry - it won't . You will then alienate all those who live in the Republic of Ireland who have no wish or desire to be classed as British. Not only that (which also applies to this Englishman), but using The British Isles would mean that Groundspeak would then be using country names for everything but United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man and possibly Channel Islands. Surely that would be even more confusing, as well as making it more difficult to isolate areas in PQs? FWIW, I agree. It should either be strictly geographical - or strictly political. But I can't for one instant see the Canadians wanting to be lumped in with their southern North American neighbours, any more than them Yooropeeans would want to all be tarred with same brush...... Talking of which - do the Walloons and Flemish Belgians have the same issues? How about the Catalans and Basque Spanish/French?

Sometimes caches are listed in the wrong country by the cache owner and this isn't noticed by the reviewer. Sometimes the error is noticed - often years later - and corrected. Countries are political entities - not geographical. This and the Northern Ireland issue would all be solved by wrapping the whole lot up and calling it by it's correct geographical name.... The British Isles

Maybe not paragraphs, but I don't think adding a single word would hurt. Perhaps something like, "All local criminal laws apply." You have to bear in mind that the guidelines apply worldwide. In some countries - the UK for instance - trespass isn't a criminal offence. I'm fairly certain the intention is for cache hiders not to trespass when placing caches though?

Argh! I think you'll find that Aargh is spelled thus. "Aargh!", surely??

Because the 3rd party software does some things the website does not and the website does things the 3rd party software does not do. But the limits on the API are only slightly higher than the PQ limits so the 3rd party software does not give you unlimited pillaging of the GS database. But by using the API, you get those 6000 caches plus the 5000 from PQs, don't you? No - I think the API draws from the PQs you have set up - so data you pull down will only be as fresh as those PQs are? (But I could be wrong....)

Still haven't been caught, so don't know what I'd say if I was. Possibly "wibble", and start drooling. Unless it was the boys in blue, in which case I'd pretend to be slightly more lucid and tell them I was looking for my marbles...?

Works for me - I'm all for posts being in the right forum in the first place Now, if we could only have a sub-forum for questions that've been asked countless times before, or maybe some kind of global search engine that could pull answers up, the World would be a much....oh, wait a minute........

Open the PQ in Excel, and delete the columns you don't want

Not really sure why this would be useful to anyone, but click on the Union Jack to see an English version. Union jack? That's English...I'm from America...duh...I speak American. It's British, not English. This is English

Ding. Natural as in not artificially produced - and structure as in constructed object....

South East DING Strange as it may seem the canal is aligned more or less NW to SE , and going from East to West you're actually travelling in a South Easterly direction. Woop woop OK - what's the largest natural structure on earth?

South East

West to East - assuming you took the shortest route

Yep, that's where I'm heading unless I get a lead on some software.... I've always used nvu with no problems

Every year! Sorry all - missed the ding (and several reminders......) Name the city that was served by Dum Dum airport until 1995, when the airport underwent a name change. It's India, the home of the dum dum bullet...... Errr Calcutta? DING...etc.....

But knowing what happened to the last pair.....have you bought a second pair to take with you on hikes more than 3 miles, just in case?

There are, indeed, at least two "closed" caching sites that I know of that a GS archived cache might appear on. But - in all honesty - neither of them are likely to host a cache you might stumble upon, or that has been previously listed on a public site.

-7 Because it's fun to watch people when you first publish a cache. And because it hurts nobody!
