Luckily I don't have any... Anyway, urbandude it's your turn to ask one. Or I can ask one?

We've bumped into cachers looking for caches at least a dozen times. A couple of times we've bumped into people looking for our caches, in fact from memory it's happened twice in our caching carerrs and both times it was the same day. Once we've bumped into a cacher looking for our unpublished cache, which they had no right to know about, but that's another story...

DING!!! Right answer!

This question is doing nothing for anyone's musical credibility... You're all a couple of years too late. Clue: the band is largely a one-hit wonder, however the front person has subsequently become notorious...

I like the idea. Or you could run a PQ each week of your owned caches?

Go with the casual approach. Try not to be furtive. I've cached in London before and no-one around batted an eyelid. Someone finding one of our caches did exactly that once - we have a cache on a sign, two cachers turned up with hi-viz jackets and cleaning equipment, as if they were contractors cleaning the sign!

To me, if there are clear instructions as to how to translate the information seen in the field (i.e. barn colours) into the numbers required for the co-ords, then it's a multi.

Earlier than that as well...

I've been subliminally training other people to do it for me You can't subliminally train someone. I've never heard such a lot of utter Geolympix in all my life.

About three years earlier than that.

One of the cyclists in this year's Tour De France is a cacher. I forget who now though.

We once hid a cache in a tree intending to hide a puzzle cache, but not having thought of a puzzle at that point. A few days went by and we got a notication of some new caches, and then we made a shocking discovery to our horror... It turns out another cacher had hidden a cache in the same tree, on the same day. They beat us to the punch as we hadn't got as far as writing out a listing at that point.

OK my turn then. Change of subject... What was Stock Aitken & Waterman's first #1 in the UK?

Just signed a logbook using some wax crayons left in the cache as swag, as we left our pen in the previous cache. Has anyone else done any on-the-spot improvising in the field while caching, either hiding, finding, logging or repairing?

When you use the cache submission wizard, it presents a list of caches you own that are disabled or needing maintenance, how about putting all that on a handy prominent panel on your profile view?

I have a hunch when they played in the aforementioned final I read it was their first match together, so I'm going to say once.

Thanks. I have just emailed Red Duster so I hope he will be kind! He's pretty good and generally speedy. :-) yes, he published some of mine within 3 hours He once reviewed and approved one of ours in 10 mins :-)

Agreed. I've had DNF logs on my puzzle caches before now saying "couldn't solve the puzzle... "

So they did. Good call.

Agreed!

Italy on pens in 1994?

Thanks. I have just emailed Red Duster so I hope he will be kind! He's pretty good and generally speedy. :-)

I have to confess a few times, when setting puzzles, I've started with the name and worked backwards from there...

How about one go per 24 hours instead of three?

Thanks for the link. That post has many of the issues I was trying to address, but I can see there's no easy answer, as you can never underestimate the tenacity of someone who wants to cheat. As a puzzle cache setter I would prefer people to find my caches by solving the puzzle, but if they went to that much effort to solve it, I sort of don't begrudge them it (much - lol)
