I'm not surprised about the reviewer comments, they are so slow in doing they're job these days, no I take that back as I'm about to submit a cache! How can anyone whinge about the 2 people that look after the whole UK and generally sort new caches within minutes for a pay rate of sod all??? Some people can be so ungrateful! P.S. I'm expecting a good review time

My last cache was reviewed before I had finished adding additional waypoints (and there were only 2), they certainly do a top job, ironically 30 minutes later I got an email from gc.com saying my submission may take up to 72 hours for review, I guess yanks are just slower (probably due to size ).

Can't we ignore some more yanks first?

I should keep quiet before they invade you

Thanks guys for this very useful information, we now have a o'tom removal kit as part of our caching kit, at £4 from our local vet and very little to actually carry I'd recomend it to everyone.

Try here for the european version, it's a trial version but I believe you can use the calibration function.

You can't calbrate with the os version of MM but you can download the europe version and calibrate with that then open in the os version.

Thanks for an entertaining read.

I like the way gc.com send me an automatic email saying I have submitted a cache for review half an hour after it has been published, top marks Lacto, I hope you some time off and don't spend all day waiting around for caches to review! Thanks again for a great service much under appreciated by most of us. Also impressed by the gcuk automated email highlighting the UK specific guidelines, obviously I don't set enough caches!

No wooden legs or parrots involved, mail me by my profile and I will share happily, it's a folder of tracks following county boundries in gpx format, credit to Motley Crew who took the time to follow the boundries and originally passed them to me. I forget I have a web server, download from here

The downside is all the caches end up on the standard holiday trail whereas if the local cacher had placed it they would know a few special places for it.

Kennet & Avon series is highly recommended, we did it on bike a week ago and loved it, if you start from clifton end it's all downhill!

Well done on your first hundred, now on to the next...

Where abouts are you going(and where from)? and do you use pocket queries and gsak as that makes finding a route fairly easy.

I find this idea absolutely horrible! what if the injured granny was part of a multi or puzzle cache? rolling her over could totally ruin the clues for the next cacher. Interesting idea though, a hollowed out injured person would make a very clever cache container, would this fit the guidelines?

It's good to have a full database when gc.com goes down, not often of course...

Have you considered sending it to garmin uk for repair, you'll probably get a replacement free of charge.

Theres no auto-routing in MM just selection of individual points.

Try cachemate with cachenav for basic pointy bits.

I must have missed something here, wasn't this always easy to do using pq's and gsak if you used the dates trick to keep a full database?

Please nobody mention bread!!!! Oh bu**er I just did.

This is a question for the UK reviewers but my understanding is that this would involve the payment of £50 for the permission which is a precedent that should not be set. Surely if an individual was happy to spend £50, then the cache should be listed, as permission would be given. I do not agree with the charge, but if people are willing to pay it, then it is up to them. I thought GC was just a listing service, so it has no input in HOW permission is granted. What would happen if I said I only got agreement for a cache after I took the landowner out for a few pints (my treat), would that not be listed? I would certainly say if someone wants to pay the fee then it is up to them, but as it was gagb negotiating for permission on behalf of all uk cachers then they were very right not to accept an agreement that involved a fee. I don't recall anywhere in this thread saying fee paying placers would not get approved, I would assume anyone with a permit would have no trouble whatsoever getting approval.

Don't mind as long as theres bacon in it.
