Surely its the thrill of the chase that draws geocachers in and not swapping trinkets ?

The clue for my last DNF was along the lines of "in some bramble and thorns near the rabbit holes", now I don't know much about bunnies excavation habits but parts of the bank were like gorgonzola cheese But I will find it .....oh yes !

.......and if you enjoyed the search for caps lock you could continue and search for a dictionary

Well I don't know how many miles I clocked up this bank holiday weekend but it would have been a lot less if I'd realised there were so few paths in Dalby Forest. Of particular note was a cache that was 200 feet away , but also 300 feet vertically

From a brits point of view , tupperware "lunchbox" containers were the container of choice for improvised devices of an exploding variety back in the 90's for a particular "political" group IMHO and experiance any investigator worth his salt will try to verify if its a bomb ( dadgum said it ) or someones sock collection

Hi, as well as using my gps for caching I intend to use it in my military guise. What I'd really like to do is represent a 3d profile of a track I've seen memory map and thats amazing but I understand I'd need to purchase OS maps to use it. Is there any sw that would allow me to save maps off the web and use them to plot a track on , then display that profile in 3d ?

I made mine , never could resist a challenge I used an old serial cable and trimmed down a morrisons fuel card until it fitted in the slot on my etrex Using a safety pin I made 3 holes in the end and cut a slot for the key between the power and data in pin. As garmin publish the pins outs anyway it wasnt too hard a job to bodge one together I'll get round to buying a plug off ebay one day for four quid and cobble up a spare mobile car charger socket for some power I thought there may be some trouble with the wires pulling out of the holes when I unplugged it but some sellotape fixed that
