[Caches Near Brent Wood In Essex England]

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

[Snow Time!]

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

[It's All About Me, Me, Me!]

March to the River GCTCPY

[Central London Event Cache - Opinions Sought]

don’t know if that is a good or bad thing

[Caching Abroad]

I cache abroad all the time and never any probs,although once scared living daylights out of myself in Spain, when i lifted a rock and there was a snake looking at me.!!!!!!!...............dash back to hotel for a quick change of undies!!

 

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.

[Help With Legend Basemap]

thanks peter

 

the USA base map is good enought for me to use to cache with

that will do fine

[Help With Legend Basemap]

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

[A ? Of Geocachers]

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

[Caches In Ireland]

As far as I know, the UK is the only place where these blithering discussions take place. (Apart from Indonesia and Cyprus.)

 

All other sovereign nation states know exactly who and what they are, and which bits of them are which.

Without looking into it much I can add Palestine/ Israel

[Caches In Ireland]

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

[Seen On Ebay]

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

[Uk Spies In Russia - Geocachers?]

 

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???”

[Extremes Of Geocaching]

Wettest - Although I wasn't out for the whole walk, my original Ridgeway Run - Big Event was darn damp.

 

--

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

[Cacher Of The Month 2006 Announcement]

just had a look around the site and it looks great

many thanks for your hard work

[C.i.t.o Event]

I may be out of teh country

 

if not I'll be there

[Pda With Integrated Gps]

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
