Now that is ironic!

Horribly, horribly slow in the UK (i.e. stopped!)

Hooray for MrsB! I also kissed a frog to see what it was all about. They probably aren't going to be our thing, but I really can't see what all the tantrums are in aid of. If you don't like them, then DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK! Some of the spoof challenges were initially funny, but now they are just spoiling it for others who want to do some serious ones. Just wait until the second wave come in 24 hours after the first. The 'challenges' really need to go, or at least be relegated to something akin to TB collecting.

This challenge system needs to disappear ASAP, sorry yours included.

Please, please get rid of this pointless addition....

I think we've established that the caches in question are not "Power Trails".

Just got back from doing the caches, Myself & TAG have done the whole round (not together), Samurai Sword & Bigbatch have found a few FTFs as usual. Need to freshen up, so may post more later.

But you generally only hear from those that like them. What you are not hearing is those that simply ignore them or complain about them but not to you. So, you get a one sided view of your caches. There is a problem in caching, I'm not sure why it is but it is. If you offer any kind of critisism about a cache you generally get shot down for it. I know of someone who was even threatened with a ban from GC simply for stating in a log that the cache wasn't that great! So, while people can say they enjoyed a cache they cannot indicate that they didn't. That means that people with rubbish caches THINK they have great ones when in reality they have mediocre at best. Not true, I'll leave a negative log if I think it merits its, so far, poshrule's don't really merit it. I think there's a lot of "things ain't wot they used to be" from some cachers, thinking the hobby (it's not a sport, IMvHO) should be exactly the same as it was 10 years ago. More and more casual cachers are bound to be attracted and I probably number myself amongst them. Horses for courses and all that. This is the place (or one of them) to discuss the merits of any type of cache, not a log.

I don't fancy bringing up 495 cache pages and clicking ignore on them all. I simply have no understanding how someone can maintain that number of caches. Philip Doesn't mean it isn't possible. The ones I've done are have been well maintained and a nice, if easyish, mixture of hides. I've had more personal emails of thanks from poshrule than any other CO

More eloquently put than I could manage, and I completely agree. I've done quite a few of late and found them to be interesting, well thought out with excellent coordinates. Not a load of 35mms thrown in a hedge. I just don't get the "I don't like it, therefore no-one should" attitude by the log poster.

Sorry, sounds like NIMBYism to me.

Just seen this published as the first log, reads :- A bit of a strong and unnecessary use of the log function in a cache. By all means, have a conversation in private but via log...? http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=b0f9d88a-92d5-4343-bdcb-4d7832f5309c Write note August 3 by TelemachusGB (964 found) This is not what this part of the country needs - another power trail, mainly populated by micros and nanos. Geocaching is far more than just a quest for numbers. However, there can be little other reason for the alarming growth of power trails in this area. From the Groundspeak Fundamental Placement Guidelines: "Please don't hide a cache every 600 feet just because you can. The two main goals of the saturation guideline are to encourage you to seek out new places to hide caches rather than putting them in areas where caches already exist, and to limit the number of caches hidden in a particular area, especially by the same hider." I have corresponded privately with the CO regarding his attitude to placing caches. Nonetheless, he continues with his activities. I therefore feel I must make a public protest. No doubt many will diagree with me - but I also know I am not alone in my views. View Log
