No idea Mandy .. but the cache where I found the card was south of Leamington.
-
This one was also in the data card ..... some new faces
-
This one might jog a memory or two......
-
By setting West Midlands rather than the South of England .. Do I breach any written rules? I cannot see my home as being associated with or close to Portsmouth for example but I am only a few motorway miles from Warwick.
-
Oxfordshire is neither West Midlands nor South of England ... whats so bad about using county names .... I object to having to make a choice between two areas that arent where I am, each time I submit or even edit a previously published cache.... Is it just me? Bob

Lets try again .................. Was out caching a few months ago and came across a FUJIFILM Picture card and this image was one of 8 personal snaps on it ...... Are you in the frame? Did you take the picture? Do you know who they are? Answers on a postcard or even here

Blacks in Stratford have 3 left .. but I cant get there ... The Manager from Milletts Bicester and the chap in the Millets Banbury store both told me that dont think they will get any even though they are on the website and they are effectively the same company as Blacks ... in their words ... " We never get anything and we dont sell Garmin".... I left my details with them nonetheless Any other reports? -
Just upgraded to a Nokia 6650 flip and am starting to explore the GPS therein .. so far seems impressive with the Assisted GPS its slick too ... not sure that it will take over from my trusty Cx but getting all the page info and cache logs on the fly is a definite advantage to me. New caches actually appear on it seemlessly so it could have an advantage for FTF-hounds on the move []

Rutson - have posted there already ... do keep up ... Dibbler69 ... i am not a newbie ... try the search as i specified it .. my local searches work without fail .. it appears to be a problem with GU post codes only ... Team LRS ... read my reply to Dibbler69 - but i take your point ... maybe its from our local area only .... we shall see -
When some local cachers phoned me and asked if I could search for a post code GU46 6BT which is a post code for Yateley near Farnborough, United Kingdom... When I tried this all I got was a list of german caches ... the same as they had ... is this a local problem or a gliche for the PTB ? Happy Caching Bob / Jollyjax

Major Congrats to Phillimore Clan / muddy legs ... aka Mrs PC ... on the occasion of their 3000th Cache ... WELL DONE
-
I think it IS about the numbers in one sense.... I have a good number of hides to my 3000+ caches because I want to have them and want others to enjoy them too ... However, I think some of the top 20 cachers, think differently and are only concerned with numbers found ... no interest in setting new caches or "giving back" to the community that supports our habit. Good thread maxkim - one of my pets whinges for a long time but I rarely use this forum so havent posted on it before.

Latest from Defra yesterday can be seen here http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/n...ation/index.htm The exclusion as John says is away from the camp site still but there are closures of some local footpaths but which ones it doesnt say. Just that restriction notices must be obeyed. - I cant see cachers ignoring them - can you? Less than a fortnight bump
-
Major Congrats to Alison ... aka Alibags ... on the occasion of her 3000th Cache ... I knew you wouldnt be able to resist it another day ... WELL DONE

Over the last 3 months my shiny Garmin Venture Cx has been feeling poorly and refusing to stay on longer than it wanted to. Most days I could persuade it after three or four attempts to let me navigate for an hour or two- but that was it.... Eventually, after borrowing a Legend from a friend (thanks Mongoose), I plucked up the courage and corresponded with the Techies at Garmin ... My past experiences of doing this had been grim and those that know me and have chatted about it, will know that they dont like me there ... however, things were about to change .... for the better. After an initial problem over the warranty .... (thanks to GlobalPositioningsystems - Illinios) - all was ready and the guys at Garmin sent me a returns number and the promise that the unit would be away for 7 to 10 working days .... The unit was dispatched from my local post office last Wednesday with Special Delivery, so I knew it would be there the next day for sure ... and allowing for problems all would be well and returned to me by the 5th or 6th of December .... A BRAND SPANKING NEW UNIT ARRIVED THIS AFTERNOON .... Just 3 days turn around and no charge at all... great performance!!!! Thanks Garmin - you have restored my faith in human nature and given me a smashing early Xmas present

Marston 2007 has gone and almost forgotten but next summer we are planning a move to Moreton-in-Marsh and a camping and van site at the Cross Hands Inn ... early stages of planning but looks good for our normal weekend around the 9 10 and 11 of August. Not too many caches that way yet but there will be [] Bob

allsigns crack their first 100 and do it in grand style at a cache a lot of senior cachers avoid .... Licenced to Kill ... A Windy City :wub: Well Done and not a Phone in Friend or any email help ... one of a very rare club

Fasntastic achievement by mongoose39uk who topped the 2000 this weekend. Well Done Tony on what looked to be a mega final push and then a few more for luck...
