Another good site that you can look at for if you want to do a route of caches is [url=http://geocachetrails.com]http://geocachetrails.com Fully agree with you this is indeed a very useful page if one is looking for walks...............not that it is about numbers!
LOL, I just said that

With Premium Membership you get all the added benefits of being able to do pocket queries as well.

Definately make a point of taking it further. I am a dog lover, we have three Border Collies. Dog (ownders) can't be allowed to get away with this. As others have said, it has done it once, it can do it again and most likely next time it would be a child and the consequences could be much worse. I would get photographs of your hip, a copy of your statement to the police, keep a record of the medication you have been given. Then either write to the house owner and see if you get a reply. If you don't, then I suggest that you contact your local CAB for some advice.
I am not saying that you should sue the owner, but you should make sure that enough fuss is made that s/he feels obliged to do something about the dog, whether that be tying it up when it is out or fencing it in.
As natterjacktoad says above, also contact the local press to make them aware of what has happened.

It has happened to me once. No reports of a DNF, then suddenly getting queried as to why the container was different to the one described. Went to check and my container had gone and been replaced by something completely different! Never did get to the bottom of who did it.

Hiya and welcome.
We started with the Garmin Etrex Venture HC which never let us down. Then we decided to go paperless and went up to the Orgon 550t. You should get a cheapish unit first though to see if you are really hooked.
-
If you did want to make it more of a caching walk as well, once you have decided your route do a Pocket Query and alter it so that it follows the route you will want to walk.

Who's been reading my mind? I actually thought about this late yesterday afternoon, and it is now on my coin to do list. As currykev says, there are bound to be lots of takers stateside.

Anyone got any updates on this?
-
When we first started caching, we put keyrings in with photographs that we had taken. We did this for the first 100 or so caches that we visited. Since then though I have to admit we have resorted to the usual swaps.

Hiya Aaron, it would be worth you posting on the GAGB forum as well. www.gagb.com
-
Where abouts are you. It may be worth posting on http://staffs-geocachers.webs.com/ That site has a good lot of members now and you may be able to find just what you are looking for.

Welcome back, glad to hear that your interest has been rekindled. I am a relative new boy compared to when you started.

Today's 'Open Country' on radio 4
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vr...try_Resistance/
featured an underground bunker used in the 2nd WW in South Wales.
The bunker was used by Auxilliary units- a highly secretive set up who would work under cover [literally] should Gerry have invaded.
As a challenge in the final seconds of the programme a challenge was offered that there should be a Geocache in the bunker !
I have a such a cache in Sussex - think my idea was copied
Come on S. Wales cachers - a challenge for you !

Tell us more, without having to search, what is the GC number?
It's GC1CAPD 'Who do you think you're kidding Mr Hitler'

Thanks, have put it on my To Do list.

Summer = nettles, Winter = Lots of snow on the ground.

Cornwall in December, sounds lovely, without the mass of tourists. Have a look at www.geocachetrails.com. I find this a pretty useful website to use when we are going somewhere different and want to do a circular walk.

Beware of rule creep!
I appreciate Dave's post / reasoning, but am generally against any extra rules, before you know it there's lots and lots of them which in principle are individually probably a good idea, but taken collectively, it's an ever-increasing tide. ...
Well put, and I completely agree. Whilst I appreciate that the reviewers are simply trying to keep the reputation of caching respectable, it's all beginning to get very complicated.
I'm tempted to place a cache in a memorial garden (without permission) that's a stone's throw from a railway station, and also inside a nature reserve which is also an SSSI!
That's probably the largest number of UK-specific rules that can be broken by a single cache...LOL, is there a school nearby?

Look out for Weston Wanderer caches - some lovely original cache containers.
My all time favourite cache is in the Norfolk Broads - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=8c7e0a15-e943-42d4-9af8-00b6a391b056 - takes a bit of planning so maybe not one for a short trip, but if you have a sense of adventure you'll love it and certainly wont forget getting there!
Can you give the gc number for that one please?
-
Thanks everyone.

I am visiting Porchester next week for just a couple of hours. I need to find a decent cache, which is visited often and large enough to take a TB. As I say, I am only there for two hours max. Any good suggestions welcomed. Ta.

I believe that there is a large number of drive by's around Keilder Water in Northumberland that can keep you busy all day. Not sure of their names though. I seem to remember a conversation at Notts Geocachers a while back where someone said they spent more time getting in and out of the car than they did signing logs.

There is this one, though it is temporarily unavailable at the moment. Did it a long while ago and it is a sneaky little cache at a great memorial. http://coord.info/GC2057J
Bitten by a dog.

No I wasn't saying it in order for you to gain compensation, I meant that people need to be aware of this dog.
