Funny - your profile says 17 finds??
That's using his reviewer title. He also has an alter ego as "Mancunian Pyrocacher"
Honesty is the best policy I always say!
All reviewers work under a seperate account name therfore the only finds that they show on their reviewer account will be the events they attend as a reviewer.
This should be made clearer otherwise it is misleading
It is clear if you spend any time looking!
The reviewers do a great job and I just wish everyone would give them a break!
Will the document be sent to every police force in the UK? If not please could I request a copy and I will pass it on to Sussex Police.
Many thanks for all your hard work guys

Thanks Deci for the info - I thought you did great
Is there a plan to disseminate the information to the UK MoD bomb disposal squads as well?
I am sure the MoD, with their current budgetary pressures, would prefer not to be called out for Tupperware with tat in it?

The Minority is here!!
I live in Withdean, Brighton.
I will drop you an email and we can arrange to go out :-)
-
I know you said you looked at Follow the Arrow - did you use the MAGIC maps?
Congrats on taking the time to do it right! rather than just plowing in and placing a micro outside your front door :-)

I have a cache in a public library in the UK.
To meet the guidelines you have to go to point one first using the GPS. This then gives you some more information to go and find the cache in the Library. I have had some fantastic logs - people really like it!
-
Has a list of the actual locations been released?

I have a few urban hides at interesting sites in Brighton. Makes me wonder if i should archive them...or at least should there be a requirement to get permission from the local police force as well as the land owner??

Peer pressure is the only real way anything is going to happen here, Groundspeak cannot really bring any pressure to bear other than sending emails to the account holders.
As it now seems that the friends who introduced them to geocaching are not on speaking terms there probably is little hope that anything will happen.
It will if the friends know where they live and want to impart that information on the geocaching community

I do think that ripping on a cache is a bit much, even the really rubbish ones took a bit of time - diplomacy is a good route
As always with a forum someone has to disagree
If I find a rubbish cache I say so in my log..especially if it is a new cacher. For Example This one - http://coord.info/GC2MJZW
Based on my log the owner moved the cache to a location 100 times better, how can new cachers expect to learn if you are not honest?

This is the best one I have found - http://geocass.wordpress.com/
Good geocaching stories and useful hints and tips
Also I don't get people on here - the question was 'what blogs do you read' why bother wasting yours and everyone else' time with inane comments like 'I don't' If you cant contribute the go play someone else!

Yes, Chili-K, better known to people here as currykev until the change in the user name, has a habit of being a disruptor. Please drop the off-topic discussion that he has decided to interject in to the topic and please just get back to the question from the original poster if people would do that. Perhaps if he would stick to the topic at hand, he would not have to see the moderators step in to some topics. I wish I never had to post as a moderator, but once again I sigh and do just that.
Please carry on with the original question.
I assumed we were all enjoying a bit of good old British banter - i would have thought there was no need for a sigh or any moderation..Take a chill pill and have a great day - we were doing just fine

Brighton has quite a few FTF addicts (myself included)
I used to pretty much be guaranteed to get it every time but there are quite a few new cachers intent of spoiling my day
How quick they go really depends on the time they are published - anything past 10pm will generally last till the next morning but anything before 10 is usually gone within the hour. The last two FTF races have been lost by 3 minutes (my mate got one but lost the other
)Add to that the arrival of mini street searcher and I have not been quite as prolific in recent months. Going to have to crank it up a notch and keep the new boys and girls on their toes!

25 quid for four here.
That's about 4,00000000000 times more expensive than a watertight 35mm film container. And if mine get's muggled I can replace for less than next to nothing.
since when have film cannisters been watertight
Some digital film canisters, ie SD card holders and the likes, are very much waterproof... not much room for a paper log, but maybe leave the card in so people can electronically leave a blank log on it!
Sorry I can't beleive that someone wanting an Ammo Box is been pointed in the direction of a film can or similar. I have not found any to be waterproof even the ones with small rubber seals but I have yet to find a wet ammo box.
Sorry Yorkie - Chili-K has got the hang of the sarcasm warning button yet

I have the same problem with FF on the work PC.
I cant work out what the tech weenies have blocked - let me know if you find a cure

My view is that you should only be able to log an OSM once it has been there
I often walk down footpaths and think "that would be a good place for a cache" if one is then put there I still need to go and find it before I claim the
Why should this excellent cache be any different?
For the rather obvious reason that the trig was present at the time of visiting, unlike the hypothetical tupperware.
The post by Mouse better captures what I was trying to say
I don't like the idea of retrospective logging either if I'm honest and I wouldn't do it myself. To my mind you should visit the coordinates with the express intention of finding the cache (be that physical or virtual). If you visit a trig because you like to bag trigs and then it later becomes an YOSM, you still visited that trig because it was a trigpoint IYSWIM. It's about intent for me.
It has to be about the intent.

Latest podcast was published last night - another good listen, especially 'The Amazon's' caching adventure
-
When I went to the US I just uploaded the PQ as normal and used the unit base map..worked a treat
-
Just out of interest do many people listen to the podcast?
-
The latest version of the UK Geocaching Podcast is available http://www.ukgcpodcast.com/
A good listen....even if I do say so myself
-
And they are back again - good this is annoying
-
Cache Icons missing again on BETA maps - this time on my home PC which has been fine previously.
Anyone else having problems? Or any suggestions on how to resolve?
