  1. There are, I've seen several, but I think the OP is talking about Challenge caches with 81 unique D/T combos, and what's the minimum numbe of finds which could fill that grid. I.E. you would need the 81 challenges, plus all the qualifying caches for each of those challlenges, so the number is going to be way higher than 81. It's not as simple as just adding up the number of qualyfing caches for each challenge, as some caches might help qualify for more than 1 challenge.
  2. Do you mean you can't click and drag the map? It works OK for me on all the map options.
  3. This Says to me: Just get out there and start searching, don't bother reading the details (description) and just look for a container, you only need to read the details when you get stuck. It would be better phrased as:
  4. I think they want to search for puzzles which are NOT bonuses, so need a regex to exclude those with bonus in the name.
  5. There's not a lot of activity on here from UK cachers, Facebook is where it's at these days. I would recommend joining one or both of these groups and asking in there: NortWest Geocaching, likely to have cachers from the Crew area: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nwcaching/ UK Geocaching, for the whole country: https://www.facebook.com/groups/geocachinguk
  6. I never check nameas in the logs. I've deleted as number of obviously fake logs and never had any comeback so far. If a few fake logs get through then I don't really care.
  7. I think it would be interesting to see a screenshot of the waypoint distribution, alongside a screenshot of the satellite constellation you have locked onto.
  8. I know it's been requested numerous times, and the pleas seem to fall on deaf ears, but I'll try again. As a cache hider I need to be able to see where all the Puzzles/Multis/WIGs/Letterboxes THAT I HAVE FOUND are on the map so I can see which areas are free, it seems ridiculous to me that the site/app has no way to do this and I have to revert to third party tools to achieve it. It seems to me that if the all caches with corrected co-ords displayed at their corrected location, then anyone who's found a Geo-Art series could remove the corrected co-ords if they desparately want to see the pretty picture on the map, whereas the rest of us could leave the corrected co-ords so that they display in the real location. If that's not possible/desireable then give us a toggle whereby we can choose where caches with corrected co-ords should be displayed. If anyone reading this thinks this objective is desireable then give this an upvote and if there are enough interested then GC might take some notice.
  9. Odd, this is what I get when I click on the second page, but then clicking subsequent pages all display OK, including if I go back to the second page :
  10. Just throwing my 2pennorth in here FWIW. It seems some of the respondents here saw a bandwagon and decided to climb aboard and have a go at the OP, unfailry IMO. For a start he asked for cheap, SAFE, GOOD rope; I'm not from Oz, but I expect that they too have many suppliers of equipment who will vary in their pricing, so there will be some suppliers of "safe, good rope" which are cheaper than others, as long as it's the right "type", right size, properly rated and from a reputable source then where's the problem if it's cheap(er) than other rope? If he was in the UK I could point him at some suppliers that are cheaper than others for exactly the same product, or I could point him at a manufacutrer who also sells direct to the public online and so cheaper than walking into a shop to buy the same product, but only if you know exactly what you want. I doubt he was asking for someone to recommend a supplier for cheap builder's poly rope, neither was he asking for Chinese knock off merchants. Secondly, he says he has a New Tribe saddle, that's a tree climbing harness, so telling him to get a rock climbing course is a waste of time and money as rock climing and tree climbing use different techniques and equipment. E.G. tree climbing generally uses (semi-)static rope, whereas rock climbing uses more dynamic rope which can be used to climb trees and I've done it but it's HORRIBLE 'cos you're bouncing up and down all the time, so DON'T buy rope sold specifically for rock climbing. While I wouldn't call TeamRabbitRun's post rude, it was condescending, and for the OP to point that out isn't "turning down advice" whether or not it might be lifesaving. The best bit of advice was from Hugh : "Find someone that climbs" - so find someone that climbs trees (not rocks) and ask them where they buy from, even better arrange to go out with them - you could make some new mates. My best piece of advice would be to find an Oz tree climbing group/forum and go and ask there, they might not be so snotty .
  11. Last time you had this it was a problem with your VPN:
  12. Agree, it's particularly bad when someones placed a trail of dozens puzzles or letterboxes and we then can't see where they actually are on the map once we've found them.
  13. I know Groundspeak are between a rock and a hard place on this and they don't have any option but to offer an opt-out, but I've always thought it would be ideal if anyone who chooses to opt out is then prevented from seeing that same information from ALL users, and I suspect that might make some re-think their decision. I know this will never happen and probably isn't technically possible, but it it would be Karma
  14. If that's the group I mentioned in your other thread then it's the only Chanel Islands specific group as far as I'm aware. There is the UK FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/geocachinguk some Islanders are in that group and people on there may well be able to answer any questions you have, that's a fairly busy group.
  15. Best place to go is the Geocaching Chanel Islands Facebook group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/276894145704648/
  16. Wherigo is the name of the cache type, which requires an additional app to play. Whereyougo is the name of one of the apps on Android which you can use to play the Wherigo caches - other apps are available.
  17. It's never happened to me and when I've seen or discussed them in the past it's a very rare occurence, you've had more on that one cache than I've seen in the last 18 years added together. I wonder if it's someone you've annoyed who's targeting you. Report it via the contact us link Geoaware posted, then Groundspeak can have a look. They might see that all the accounts are coming from the same IP address and have in the past been able to block the source address so they can't create new accounts though whether they would still do that remains to be seen, that's also only effective until the offender changes their IP address.
  18. Make it a multi: go to points in the park to collect numbers from some items (e.g. statues, benches, drinking fountains etc.) use those numbers to plot the location of the cache which would be placed more than 161m from the existing cache and could be outside the park.
  19. The Last Logged column, is the last date anyone logged it, I think the OP want's something so that they can see if THEY have previously logged it either as a retrieve or discover etc. Somethin akin to the smiley or blue frown you see against cache listings.
  20. There's a free map available here for Garmin GPSrs which covers the whole of the British Isles. https://talkytoaster.me.uk/free-maps-home/
  21. Jumping on the bandwagon here, but not only does the cache page not say you must make a new visit, it doesn't even suggest you should make a new visit. Can I suggest adding wording along the lines of:
