Actually, this works very well with me and my caching companion. When we get close, I hand over the GPS. The same with me and Mr F. He prefers it if I do any planning needed to get us there, work out where to park, which trails to take and so on. He likes to see and point out the history in the landscape around us, such as what caused ditches and mounds, what broken down walls and remains of old industry once were. We have to stop to look at interesting cliff faces and mounds of bricks and tangled of old machinery. Then when we get to looking he has to know where the GPS is homing in on, whereas I like to stand back. So he takes the GPS and searches while I check where we go next on a map or my phone, then join in looking where he missed. I'll want to stop to look at interesting flora and fauna and good views of uninterrupted greenery, and he carries on walking oblivious. It's fine if it is just the two of us, but add anyone else and a short walk just takes ages. (Our kids have learnt not to ask 'what have you stopped for', and demand to have a GPS to hold and make their own way to the next cache, which works well too.)

I keep thinking of Roy Orbison, was it him?

Ding!

Ah, thanks. Let's stick with the bass clef question, as Pharisee's answer was spot on for the treble clef...

Oh dear, sorry I asked out of turn, I misread the previous posts and didn't read back far enough. I was looking up The Shard a while back...Is it a tower in Moscow, The Mercury building, something like that?

here's one: What are the 5 central notes which go 'on the lines' in the bass clef, and give a mnemonic for them for someone starting to read music. (I haven't phrased that very well, but I'm sure if you know the answer you know what I mean!)

Have done a few lately.

Yup! I don't have a problem with it, nor would I do it! They also charge for canoing, climbing, rowing, horse riding and all sorts of things you can do for free in the outside world if you've got your own equipment! Mark Heh ya know what. I bet theres a kayaking forum somewhere with some dude complaining he has to pay to use his own kayak at centre parcs haha. You can take your own bikes there and there's no charge for using them on site, and is a recommended alternative to hiring their bikes.

DING! Which one relates to looking down? (I should have said that Mr F gave our answer, I just typed it! He seems to remember trivia.) Q: A few days ago, Nicola Benedetti gave a wonderful rendition of whose violin concerto (No. 1 in G minor) at the Last Night of the Proms? This is Bruch(sp?)(brook) just before half time.Brilliant evening .Said it a few times before,but im definately gonna go next year Yes, Bruch.

Edmund Aeythlyng reigned for about month in 1066, between Harold and William. King Louis was crowned and made king during the Baron's Revolt, but now seems to be forgotten.

I liked that cointest too, and it's so great to see another one. It's a good time of year, too. I went for some training for some rather specialised voluntary raok today, not sure if that counts or not. Other than that my day has mainly been about challenging teenager(s).

So, 11am tomorrow then.

Sivota, thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you liked the extra gifts just for you! Let me reassure everyone that you don't have to come up with 4 trackables for this mission, I wanted to give Sivota some extra special gifts to say thanks for several years of volunteering as a moderator, so I used the mission as an excuse to piggy-back some extras for her as a little thank you! One coin that I received wasn't a trackable version, and another was a micro, there might have been a pathtag...It wasn't my intention to start any complaints, please accept that the mission can go back to having just one (or 2 if you are lucky) trackables! (Plus the ones to log for Robert -thanks Robert, its fun to take part in this). A month is about normal for someone to have the box, if they are taking time to select things to fit in it. A lot can change between when someone signs up for this and getting the box - new job, new caches, illness, moving house, new pets, new kids, grandkids...

bump?

Just to let you know I did post this off (eventually) by Royal Mail, with the their tracking service..The tracking number is: LY329480482GB. So it has arrived in the destination country!

Not in plastic pots with a water supply Ah yes. Missed that!

It could be self-seeded hemp blown in from a farm some miles away.

There aren't a lot of places you can't grow modern "varieties" in the UK nowadays..... 12 plants isn't a lot though, is it. Definitely not a professional grow. Sounds like somebody's personal plants. I'd just walk on by TBH Exactly. In a town near where we used to live, there's been several hauls of millions of plants. A green house (or field) full of them, I would call the police. A dozen or so plants, I would ignore. I used to know someone with MS who grew her own plants to self medicate (it eased some of the symptoms). If she could have bought properly regulated medicinal cannabis/pot (or whatever) she would have done, but as it's illegal, the only way she could have it was to grow her own and self medicate. Not ideal, but that's the way the law is. Personally, I consider it wasting police time to report someone like that.

I'm not sure about the paw print or the tooth (although I'd be pretty excited to find originals) but I do love the other 2.

Could mean: Bring your own pen. This cache has a notebook big enough for a diary type log entry. or Toz may sign here.

I know what you mean, it is always a relief when a mission arrives at its destination, and I'll be nervous as well until I know it has safely arrived. I could have made a mistake about WSR making the box, perhaps it is 'hand made' (by someone else) but not 'home made'.

When I got home from work today I had a card from the postie telling me to collect a parcel. So after my (later) work I collected this parcel. I had ordered some cottons for crocheting, so I was surprised to get this box...from America...(I thought LadyBee4T was from NZ, silly me!) it took me a while to figure out that the treasure had arrived at my place at last! So here it is... Oh no, sorry, that box is on it's way to the Off Topic Forum... here it is, all unpacked... And a closer look at the lovely coins... Thank you LadyBee4T - they are lovely coins, and very well chosen for me - I love to release micro coins, and you are right, I couldn't get that snowglobe coin and it will be great to send that out for one of our others which is missing...And the other 2 coins are wonderful treasures. I'm going to leave everyone's regional tokens in the box for WSR, hopefully (it would be cool if the box made it back to him with a small thing from each person). I have been collecting things to send on to Sivota for sooooo long - but I was expecting it to be winter, and there is so little space in this treasure chest, so I have made some minor adjustments for what I'm sending. Hope you like it Sivota! (I will take some photos and also recheck Sivota's address before sending the box out again, but will post to this thread when it does get sent.) Write Shop Robert - Thank you for a great mission! I hope it makes it back to you. It has been lovely to read the log book (so strange to read a log book in the comfort of my own home, not on the side of a hill in the pouring rain, for a change! ) The box you made is beautiful, photos don't do it justice.

I did email you, but I didn't sign up for this here! Thanks.
