  1. Just had a look around the net and this would seem to be the case, although no one seems to be claiming to have been caught.

    It does make sense to do this though as it prevents the snow sliding down and blocking your view while braking.

    However i wonder how all those lovely people with 4x4's and people carriers will get on,unless they take a step ladder and a broom with them so they can reach :laughing:

     

    what do you mean 4x4s?!! I'm a shortie and have a micra and I struggle to reach the roof!!! TBH tho tis currently irrelevant since I aint moved it since Saturday so it's under a significant amount of snow not to mention the dregs from the snowploughs for good measure!!!

  2. Most of the ones I've found have been in towns where you can see why they need to be that size and until this last weekend I would have agreed that if out in the woods etc then I would prefer to be searching for a bigger container

     

    BUT... I was visiting a friend this weekend and we took the dogs a wander in the local woods and it would have been rude not to hunt for what tupperware etc I knew was there. I actually really enjoyed the nano hides as much as the other ones although if ALL of them had been nano I probably would have been a bit fed up by the end of the day.

     

    So I guess I'll go with like, even out in country but only if there's a good mix of finding options there....

  3. Great thread :D

     

    The pup was the reason for me finding out about caching. While excitedly waiting for him to be old enough to pick up I was reading anything and everything and found a dog forum with a dog walk section On that someone was saying they had found geocaching as a great way to find new dog walks in their area so I went to investigate

     

    Well and truly hooked now and while pup still needs to be taught to sniff out tupperware (he does have a few finds tho they may be accidental!) he's enjoyed every walk to find the cache :anitongue:

  4. Oh dear - this thread makes me relieved that thorns, nettle sting and a large quantity of mud have been the extent of my adventures so far!!!

     

    I have to chuckle at nasogastric's comments re Barney the wonder-cache hound! I have similar problems with caching pup Tyree! Altho his penchant for sticks was a blessing for Stick Around AWhile. His WORST behaviour caused the muddy puddle incident at Are You Addicted To Caching but it seemed appropriate to be soaked thru having been towed into a muddy puddle en route to that one!

  5. We always log our DNFs even when it's a 80% DNF rate as it was on a recent trip to Peterhead. It seemed at the time that all we were logging was DNFs. Rather disheartening. It has given the the COs a heads up though as several other people haven't found them either.

    We have a cache that hasn't been found in two months, and although we check it regularly and can see from the flattened undergrowth that people have been looking we've only had one DNF in that time. ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...17-9e606839dc40 )

    Let us know folks! We want to help if we can!

     

    Awwww But that one has a high difficulty and I guess peeps think they are to blame when they don't find it We certainly didn't log a DNF the first time we attempted but with one GPS between three we didnt feel it warranted it. And even the next time with three GPSs it was the pup that found it (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying it was deliberate find not accidental on his behalf!) Hope there weren't too many teeth marks! LOL It's hard yeah but that just adds to the sense of achievement (even if it's just default for owning the right caching pup!!!)
