The problem with woven badges (Like the Scouts use) are the setup charges are high...So a run of 100 will always be expensive. However if a group of cachers got together and did a run of say 1000, I'd be pretty certain that would be far more economic - though no longer a personal item.

I'm single, and while I'm not LOOKING for "another half" if it happens, it'd be nice... my only stipulation is that they have to either be a cacher, or be very open to the idea of caching...
I'd hate to be like some of my geo-friends who have found another half, but they just don't get caching, and so my friends have ended up ditching caching.. never never never!!!!
Keep your fingers crossed. It could happen any day...
I started geocaching in 2003. I went to Scotland's first CITO in May 2005 and met Jack Aubrey. Five years of fun together (and lots of caching!) and we are getting married next month.
You can even see the announcement on Haggis Hunter's video of 10 Years! Edinburgh
Congratulations! and best wishes for a brilliant future together....

Could the GAGB not ask Groundspeak for a"licence" to display Groundspeak data on their website?
As an event orgainiser I'm more than happy for every caching site in the known universe to advertise my event, be that Groundspeak, GAGB, Local forums or ikache.co.uk

and the one at Tintagel, Cornwall was great, somewhat windy but it didn't rain..

To be honest I was hoping for a castle with a dragon in...

Hi,
Anyone having similar problems to me, in that Windows 7 will not recognise my GPSr Garmin 60CSx. When connecting using GSAK it will not recognise the connection. What have I done wrong? Is it me or Windows 7?
Grateful for any help.
Colin
It's you! Mines working perfectly with Windows 7 (64 bit version) and with GSAK... Have you installed the Garmin drivers? Download from here

There's the one Stuey referred to which was hidden by two friends and myself, it's 130 litres in size, so big enough to get a teenager into! Info Here
What's the container and where did you get it? I'm looking for something similar
Ours came from a friend of a friend... but here seems a good source...

The largest I have found are Roolku's Request
Juniper Green 1707-2007 : Woodhall Mill
Which are all placed by Edinburgh Walker, he must have shares in 25 litre drums? I also got FTF on all 3 of them.
25 Litre Micros... Whats wrong with a proper sized cache?

UK geocachers who like the idea of having a trackable geocoin with their name on it, and in their choice of colours, may be interested in the GeoJellies4 project which has been started over on the Geocoin Discussion forum. Minimum order is for 22 Geojelly beans at US$6 each plus postal charges.
More details: GeoJellies4

Was wondering if there would be any interest in a UK version of something similar? Any suggestions as to what?

Have you found a suitable transplant donor?
The power switch sheared off of the circuit board on mine. I have been trying to find a new switch to solder onto the board, but I haven't had any success.
I was thinking about using it as a travel bug. Maybe I could pull the screen out before launching it as a TB.
Nope - no doner as yet.. and would love a replacement screen... I've sent you a PM...

Shame that the OP has decided to avoid the Forum from now on, but it is nice to see that they are still caching and seem enthusiastic about it.
Quite often the enthusiasm that people feel about discovering something that is new, to them, takes over and they say and do things without thinking it through first.
The OP probably thought that it would be a good idea to set up the Facebook group without realising that there was possibly groups already, after all they are new to this wonderful obsession that we are all part of.
Maybe in future some kind words of wisdom and guidance instead of the sniping.
I was pointing out that a group already existed - that was all - I wasn't sniping. My reply was however brief, for which I've apologised.
Of course there is no reason why there can't be 20 Facebook groups for cachers in the South East, though I guess it's confusing for newbies to know which one to join!
Anyway - enough from me - I'll just shut up.
-
Apologies for my brief and flippant replies - very uncalled for - my apologies.
I still feel as setting up groups on Facebook is so easy, quick and simple, there soon will be too many and people won't know where to go to the information they require - it's well worth doing a search or two before starting a new group to see if you'd be replicating what already exists.

so nothing like this group then?

is it different to this group?

Seems there's ample case for a Smutty Schoolboy Placename Innuendo Series...

I would have thought slight North of here would be an ideal honeymoon location.

Thanks dinö but i was hoping to make my own from a template but if i have to buy them then i will do soon...
How big do they need to be?
-
and - I'd suggest you get some actual quotes so you know how much you'd need to find to get the coins produced..
-
or export them as HTML files from within GSAK.. I'd guess you'd easily get details of 500 caches on your phone.

The Cider theme was played with for the Weston Mega event..
I like the Glastonbury Tor idea, and Americans (and thats where 50% of our Cornish Coins ended up) seem to like coins with a bit of a story.
I like the dragon idea that you've used.

Well done Birdman of Liskatraz. Who reached his 2000th cache at the Stop the Clocks event on the 27th March 2010. Well done Birdie and glad you enjoyed your jelly which was lovingly made my the Defective Detectives.
Well thank you very much and yes the sherry jelly trifle was just wonderful, well done to the Defectives for baking it so nicely.

I imagine inside the bin would be much worse? or maybe one of those stirrer blades at a sewage works?

Whoops my mistake.. for some odd reason when people say caches on green lanes - I think 4x4...
is there a UK version of the well rounded cacher
in United Kingdom and Ireland
