Ding to Madam Cholet

Sticking to the same theme. Name the cache...

That'll be "Steve's Aviation Cache #1 Bruntingthorpe Vulcan" (GC1KVBB) If you zoom in, you'll notice that the plane to the top right is very fat & bulbous! It's what's known as the Super Guppy.

G'Day stranger! I made a detailed map of Oahu last year for memory map that's calibrated & ready to use. It's about 10mb & I'll send it to you if you want. There's some great hikes up the mountains if you've got time but you HAVE to go to Honu Beach Cache and bring your snorkelling gear. There's huge turtles everywhere there - it's awesome!

It's certainly sad to see it go. We always enjoy reading the logs even though we're now on the other side of the world. We've so many fond memories. For what it's worth as it's now a very old website that'll probably exceed it's bandwidth limit anyway after only a few hits, there's a whole load of photos here. Here's one of our favourites taken during one of the Taunton camping event weekends... Cheers, The Hancock Clan

Have a look at this video tutorial here to save big maps. You will then need to convert the image file into tiff format using something like photoshop in order for memory map to read it for calibrating. BTW, I downloaded the trial MM Europe edition from the MM website a while ago, which includes the calibration feature, and used my original registration details which worked fine.

G'Day! (yes we still spy on these forums now & again!) Anyway, we know the ideal place as we had an ace weekend camping and caching in the Forest of Dean a couple of years ago. The campsite's called "Doward Park" and is a lovely quiet site surrounded by woodland with good clean amenities. Link here: www.dowardpark.co.uk (N51°50.278' W002°39.400') Here's a list of nearby caches

Well done Tim from all of us

Hey Paul, Michelle and girls. A bid congratulations from all of us down under. A huge thanks for looking after our caches and adopting them

a big congratualtions Alan and Rena from all of us down under

I can't work these aussie caches out - they're all upside down Nah they are all good mate, all good. You up to date on your lingo for your trip cobber? It has been lovely here today about 30 in the breeze and 33 out!!! Now it is 8.30pm and 27 and rather humid. We got a FTF today but for a 3.5 rating.....forget trying a 5/5 here Have you seen any caches that have caught your eye? I'm getting the idea of Kayshing (Kiwi Gary brought that one here), plus I've got to remember that if I find a "Swaggie" then I have to leave it (unless I'm going to log it on the "Other" site). No putting hands in crevaces or cracks, lift stones very carefully etc........ I found some diving gloves on the cheap - they're 10mm ones which I believe could possibly stop a lot of bites (I reckon there might be a market for them out there!) As for actual caches, I've got the whole database of NSW, ACT and Queensland (and it's being regularly updated). So I dunno if I'm going to go out with a "list" as such, but the Caches along a route might come in handy..... (Sydney to Melbourne and back then to Brisbane via Gold Coast and back to Sydney - all by road) aww mate ya gonna love it. It's a beautiful place and you will see amazing places as you pass them. Looking forward to catching up with you at some point as you visit Sydney
