  1. The date, a few words about the cache, a TNLN note (or a rare TSLS one), a TFTC and a happy face (thus: :) ) and then the whole log is signed Simply Paul. Micros, less. Nanos; SP and short date (eg '2/10') if there's room. Just SP if there's not. So, date first, unless it's a nano, oddly!

     

    I sign SP too! so which one of us is SParticus, I'm SParticus!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I checked the usual places (Waymarking.com has a "free wifi" category for instance) and there seems to be no mention of free wi-fi in the area. Anyone know better?

     

    I know that virtually all hotels have wi-fi of some sort: attendees from North America will probably assume that it's free, as that seems to be the default over there. The Cedar Court website doesn't mention anything as far as I could see, and if there is none then it could severely curtail cache/trackable logging and last-minute checks.

     

    I guess that many people will wait until after the weekend before logging on-line anyway, but I tend to get as many as possible out of the way immediately and especially like to sort out trackables before they cause confusion.

     

    I mailed the Hotel about this

     

    here is there reply

     

    Good morning Mr P,

     

    I would like to confirm that the hotel has internet access available for all

    residents in the public areas and also the guest bedrooms. Charges do apply

    for this service.

    If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Kind Regards

  3. Edited to add - and my MM icons started going loopy a couple of weeks ago - I haven't changed any settings or imported any new icons into MM, but all of a sudden I'm getting blue dots....

     

    Have GC changed something in the PQ's?

     

    I thought it was only me who was having this problem with the blue dots

  4. I've just been reading a thread about this over in Geocaching Topics and I was wondering if anyone has come across this idea over this side of the Pond...

     

    It seems that when a cacher is approaching a significant milestone then their friends may set up a "Tribute Cache" for them to find with the request in the cache description "Please let cacher XXXXX be First to Find on this cache".

     

    Now, I know I live in darkest Wales, but I've never seen this set up before: I've seen geocachers given geocoins to mark milestones and I've seen TBs released to celebrate something special, but I've never seen a "Reserved FTF Cache" set for someone...

     

    Your thoughts, please?

     

    MrsB :)

     

    here is one :)

  5. In the words of a famous film

     

    I'M TEASEL as well.

     

    Just a thought is it the GPX donators who get teasel's stats ?

     

    Afraid not. We're Teasel too.It was only recently that we discovered that we could 'donate a PQ'. Have mailed Teasel direct to offer.

    But I did crack it last night. If I created a new search and ran that, I got our own data set, and downloaded the files for MM and TomTom. Later I reran the search and up popped Teasels dataset. Just tried running the search again and I'm Teasel. In fact if I run any previous search I'm Teasel, but if I create a new search I'm me.

    NO NO NO! I'm Teasel

  6. Hi Ian,...well done

     

     

    One wee glitch which might clear up,..my stats page looks ok, and it shows the recent caches I've found waiting to be rated etc.

     

     

    But when I run a search from my home co-ords, it seems to think I'm someone called TEASEL :) none of the caches I've found are shown as found .... same with the owned ... opened up the search by 500 miles and lo and behold I "own" 3 caches...... yours.... and I ve found caches in places I've never been to...

     

    Same here, I'm Teasel too :)

     

    Thanks Ian it's great to have the site back :)

  7.  

    I know that Teasel's feeling is to keep the site free to use, there are those of us that donate PQ's to help.

     

    I'm happy to donate, towards helping to keep the site running.

    I'm sure others (as they have said in the forums) are willing to donate.

     

    So how about it?

    A Donate button (Paypal?) so those wanting to can donate, nothing extra gained -other than that "Warm Fuzzy Feeling" of doing something to help?

     

    G

     

    Ditto on that

  8. I'm doing some verification now, to check the numbers in the caches.

     

    Obviously, I've got the final co-ords, and have selected some numbers that add up to give you this.

     

    Then, I've dished them out, these are written in the log books, and all sorted.

     

    However, before anyone makes the journey for the final, I'm verifying what people are finding. Just to make sure it all ties together!

     

    It should, and will, but yknow how it is B)

     

    PKLong has emailed me the numbers from all caches he's found, can any finders please send me the numbers they have found in the following Little Quests :

     

    Cambs, Cumbria, Dorset, Co Durham, E Yorks, Essex, Glocs, G Manc, Herefords, Kent, Lancs, Northants, N Yorks, Northumberland, Shrops

     

    Email, not on this thread - doh! :huh:

    PM Sent of the ones I've done + my own

  9. I was away for over a week and put some t.b's and coins in a cache at the start of my hols, then I had a brain wave to log the items into the cache via my mobile phone, I did a search and the cache came up so I dropped the coins and tb's off.....only problem is it was a cache abroad with the same name and not the one in the UK.....how do I put the record straight, I don't have the tracking numbers

     

    Stevie are these the 6 TBs/coins you dropped into our Durham Bug Box? :)

     

    I will be up there later today and I will see if I can sort them out :blink:

     

    Mandy :ph34r:

     

    Spot on Mandy, I've managed to flick a couple over but there are still some I'm wanting numbers for
