  1. You are right of course. It was just that we returned to check our caches, and the co-ords are checked and are within 1-2 metres. I have asked for the emails, and the first two I received (DNFs) were using eTrex legend C GPSs. This was what startd me off on my theory. I know it shouldn't be so..... I am hoping to meet the local users and see what their units say. On the other hand, perhaps I should read up and see what the difference is between deg.min. and deg.min.secs and OSGB.
  2. This sounds strange, but Gary is doing a little thinking and has come up with a theory about DNF's. Well the caches that we have placed anyway. If you have done one of our caches recently, can you please let us know the GPS that you were using. Please we don't want lists of people that have not visited, just the ones that have whether they have found or not, logged the cache or not! Little things please little minds, so please do not just look on, act today! Vivien Roving Rangies
  3. No! but Threadneedle street is where you will find St Pauls Cathedral in London! Thats near the Stock exchange in London also Canary whalf, which has locks and docks. It also has several large trading companies.
  4. My husband see's many after I have hit him over the head after returning back late from the pub!
  5. I must admit I never have a problem, but that could just be luck on my side. Viv and Gary
  6. We are happy to put a cache out at Junction 16 of the M4, how do we log the cache? is it the same as a normal one or what? Viv and Gary Roving Rangies
  7. There are rules and concerns in everything, but even wrapping someone in cotton wool could be fatal! Next it will be dangerous to breath...hang on? I think it is already. Well not to breath anyway, as this can cause DEATH!
  8. I did last month, but they won't let me renew a sorn vehicle though!
  9. What about a clutch of Cachers, Gary suggests a latitude of cachers.
  10. When I go out with Gary, we always find the cache, yet if Gary goes out on his own.....! No luck today dear, is his reply on returning home. It's the womans touch you know! Gary recons its the extra signal women get from the wire in their underwire bras!
  11. I think people should realise that mud becomes hard dried dirt and dust in summer, but due to the nature of the rain falling on it and the absortion of water, it turns readily to mud, surface mud or otherwise. I mean to say, are we in the depth of winter? If someone caches in the winter months, in the countryside, then they should except that mud is out there ready to get them, in some form or the other. Should a message of this "cache has mud in winter" be put on all countryside caches?
  12. Does anyone else have the same problem as we are having. We have 3 caches out in the countryside, one a farm location, one on a byway by a wooded bird sanctuary, and one caahe at another wooded bird santuary. I lived in London for many years before moving to the countryside...Yes! the place that has unrestricted mud everywhere and not in cultivated gardens...Anyway, it seems that although the caches are placed very near by good tracks, people have a problem with mud! (Not deep welly loosing stuff, but surface mud) Does anyone else have problems with the stuff, or is it me being me?
  13. Jeff, we had a new cache hit witin 3 hours of it being placed and logged for approval. It really depends if you are sat at the computer all day like Gary and I am, or out enjoying yourself caching. Also how long a time before you receive the new logs. I have mine set so they are published to me as they go live, not after so many have accumilated. Anyway, when are you going to do our? One for you is a cache and dash, one would be a walk of about 1/2 each way in farm fields, possibly lots of mud, and the other one is placed on a byway which is just down the road from the other. Vivien and Gary Roving Rangies
  14. Will he then turn into a hansom prince if I kiss him?
  15. It goes back to what I said. There is no rule in having to cache every cache! There are 3 local to me, infact 2 on my door step virtually, but I will do them as and when, there is no big race ..is there? People cache at the caches they choose, at the pace they choose! Next it will be suggested that we have to cache so many in a certain period of time! how rediculous and un reasonable to even think it! I agree, if there were complaints by the land owners about having too many on a particular peice of land, then they should be thinned out, but otherwise... leave well alone and just be more cache selective!
  16. For Free? Pass! but they have signs on the platforms offering the service! Why don't you google? Just checked....Its FREE!

  18. Personally, I think that if you think there are too many caches, then stop doing them, only do the ones you want to do! If is very selfish to impose your views and opinions to the point of wanting a ban, when thousands of other cachers like the hobby! OK! some area's do seem to be saturated, but the simple answers is....don't go there! Problem solved! Leave them alone, no-one is making you go...so DON'T! Anyway, we live on a pension, we don't have mega bucks in a bank account to travel half way round the world to do remote caches. Local caches are ideal, as we see diffrent countryside and get exercise without being broke! I suggest if you think there still are too many caches, you should go and live in another country which doesn't have many!
  19. Main line Railway stations offer wifi!
  20. They are not all dead tanks! Some are left to make you think they are dead, but infact are very alive! The best bits about Salisbury plain are the firing rangies for tanks! especially when the army are on manoveres. Yes! even when they are firing, Salisbury plain can be driven on bywyas that are left open. Infact about a year ago, I had a stand off situation with a Chieftain Tank! Gun to windscreen! It states clearly...Do not leave the bywyas, and I have seen what mess those tanks can do, so no way am I going to leave. Funnily, nor was he! I flattered my eylids and he turned to putty, moving his bl88dy great beast out of the way for me! Now thats what I call a Gentleman! (Not many of them around these days!)
  21. Thank goodness my Range Rovers run on LPG! and I do not pay the norm of 42.5 p a litre, I pay 38P a litre.( Through most west counties at Countrywide gas)
  22. Little does he know...I'm peeing on his feet! or After being locked in a cupboard for days with only coffee to sustain him. Matt is now free!
  23. I am in the process of designing a 200 mile long indestructable bugee cord! No way are our toys going or staying out of Wiltshire! Come on fellow Moonrakers....we must fight back!
  24. I recon the Moonrakers should make sure it stays in Wiltshire for good! Just let me know and I will be out for the hunt.
