mel-ray

On behalf of my daughter Monique, grandson Jadon, Ray and myself. We would like to Thank those who supported us while the CBN series was being reviewed by Groundspeak. A big thank you goes to the Essex reviewer, Andy for all his hard work in having this series back up and running. Hope you all will have a great experience on the trail, enjoy the mud challenge path..Walking sticks are advisable. Hope to meet up with you all the Breakfast meeting (Flash mob) on wednesday at Heybridge Basin.. Kind regards Mel (mel-ray)

but would never want to highlight them in public and make CO's feel bad****Ditto We have come across many that should not have been published but instead of slamming the CO we just say ..TFTC Every CO thinks their cache is the best, and yes there are many who go to a lot of trouble making a cache that only gets muggled now that is what breaks a person.On our Maldon Wick series, Ray went to a lot of trouble making us most of the caches..We realise the C&BN series are only 35mm containers but at the same time it wont get muggled or if it does "It's No big deal" the previous CO had so many muggled which were large containers that cost money.. This is a simple way of caching and we dont expect to get favorite or if we do its a BONUS.

Thanks so much weston wanderer for giving us a chance..Much appreciated.. Hope you enjoy the walk..

Funny thing is thats exactly why we chose to do it a different way..The previous caches went missing and we decided to do something different that would have something for everyone..To put out high quality caches would mean more caches to go missing or contents left and containers gone..That would indeed cause more geolitter not so! All we are asking is to give it a go or if you decide not to then leave it for those that will and have enjoyed the series. Dont knock it until you've at least tried it... We prefer to do a series of caches like this as petrol the price it is than to go and do Drive by's on every street corner.. Our series has something for old and young, who enjoy the out doors and a long/short walk..

+1

Just to put everyone in the picture..Mel-Ray have adopted 15 caches from helenmustardland and my daughter Monique (30 years)and her 6 month old son have joined together (Junior J) and put the CBN series together..So No to all the allegations that we own all of the series.Thus has caused us much heart ache and a week of sleepless nights through all of this..It's so easy to just jump to conclution before one has in fact the truth of the matter..I think one should first have done part of the series and then passed one's opinion..Then the truth of the matter would come to light..A 3 inch pipe infact is only to stear away from geolitter..A 3 inch pipe is just to hold the 35mm container in place thus avoiding litter..I truly cant see why thus has caused so much slagging of the TWO CO's..To date we have only had POSITIVE feed back from all the geocachers that have taken the trouble to go out and do part or all of the seieis and enjoyed the walk..I wish the same was for all those against the series.. To also put it clear to all, we dont expect anyone to replace a cointainer against their wishes..We were brought up to help one another..It's truly no big deal for us to do maintenance..Sorry to those who read into the description incorrectly..NO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO MAINTENACE AT ALL..It was just something we thought everyone would help with willingly.. The series is for all those who like to walk, wether it be a long or short walk it's up to you how you want to do the trail..there's no pressure how long it takes you to do the series.. This has put such a damper onto a time that should have been a "TIME TO BE JOLLY" instead we feel like we have commited some terrible crime..Shame on you all that have done this to us... A HUGE THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT HAVE STOOD BY US AND ENCOURAGED US... A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL GEOCACHES, MAY 2012 BE A BIGGER AND BETTER YEAR.
