  1. I'll be working in New York then so I'll pop along James AKA *bingoboy*
  2. Thorndon Park set of caches (for more details see GCJN8R) is a good place to look You can do it in a day (with some planning) - a good an intresting walk in a county park with 11 caches. If you are after numbers then get on a train to London and do the parks you could easly do 40 in a day there. email me with more details re your avalablity and maybe we could meet up I live quite near Fords
  3. at about 3pm we had a flurry of snow in Central London - all gone now however - if we get any snow here I always have a bad journey home to the sticks
  4. only four for me (and one of then I had to txt SP for a clue)
  5. just looked at their web site it is a bit trendy <link> don’t know if that is a good or bad thing
  6. I have twice come across Adders while out caching in Essex - lucky they are far more scared of us than we are of them - still makes you jump however. BTW Danbury Common in Essex is home to the largest population of Adder Snakes in the UK.
  7. weekday good - come from the office weekend bad - explane to wife why going out without kids at weekend (again)
  8. Well Done hope you enjoyed your trip into caching trip to Billericay last week
  9. all very easy to log my entry (even with my own password hell fixed by Adam within 5 mins) great work sir
  10. thanks peter the USA base map is good enought for me to use to cache with that will do fine
  11. Brought a Legend last year on a caching (working if anyone from my office is looking) trip to Upstate NY it was about half the price of the EU model. I used the unit with the base map for the weeks I was away and then loaded UK maps on it when I got home My questions are: 1. Will the action of putting the UK maps on it have removed the US basemap 2. if the answer to question 1 is yes then is there an easy way of putting the basemap on without with having to spend $$$$$s on new US spec software that I will only use for a month a year I had a look at the garmin site and have not been able to find the answer many thanks in advance
  12. Wikipedia List of collective nouns by subject I-Z calls a group of satellites A constellation of satellites so a constellation of geocachers - sounds rather grand
  13. Without looking into it much I can add Palestine/ Israel
  14. "What is history but a fable agreed upon?" Napoleon Bonaparte
  15. The Bunreacht na hÉireann (Irish Constitution) does call the 26 county Irish state Éire, or in the English Ireland. However the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948 changed the "official description" (a change of name would have needed a referendum) to Republic of Ireland or Poblacht na hÉireann. The Republic of Ireland Act, 1948 only had five lines 1. The Executive Authority (External Relations) Act 1936 (No.58 of 1936) is hereby repealed. 2. It is hereby declared that the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland. 3. The President, on the authority and on the advice of the Government, may exercise the executive power or any executive function of the State in or in connection with its external relations. 4. This Act shall come into operation on such day as the Government may by order appoint. 5. This Act may be cited as The Republic of Ireland Act, 1948. - the Republic of Ireland Act, 1948 effectively stopped the 26 county Irish state (Éire, or Ireland or Republic of Ireland or Poblacht na hÉireann) membership of the Commonwealth. Here ends the history lesson
  16. I've used these in two of my cache Indiscriminate chainsaw use (Essex) GCK6VN and Sitting in the way of progress (Essex) GCKFDP They have lasted very well the only down side is it was yellow and so I covered it in gaffer tape ps sorry not a good pic
  17. here is another look at it (I think) My first thought was not geocaching it was “no people that work in embassies do not spy on each other???”
  18. most of my caches have been very easy in good weather however I agree with Sp my wettest was on the same day as his event - the Essex Summer cache Meet the day was ment to be a picknic but ended up in a tent in my garden very very wet right up until the event finnished then blue skies
  19. just had a look around the site and it looks great many thanks for your hard work
  20. I may be out of teh country if not I'll be there
  21. i cached in the US with a cacher that used a PDA/GPS system until he dropped it (one and only drop) and it died if my garmin died every time I dropped I would have nearly as many GPSs as finds I think what I am saying here is they are not very sturdy
