batsgonemad and his squirrel

Here we are chaps a sneak peak at whats coming very soon to your profile page. http://firennice.squarespace.com/journal/2...-favorites.html

im more worried as i leave next Sunday for South Africa and im away for a month

in a nut shell i think garmin are just using open cCHING to boost their sales of handheld gpsr. I mean for goodness sake their mascot is called opie, everything they have said in their statment kind of seems to be a copy cat from garmin

yep its a hot topic on facebook at the moment, and the US forums

this is a press release from them http://www.tradingmarkets.com/news/press-r...om-1352057.html

Today saw the launch of open caching .com by garmin what are your views on this hot topic http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/owl...hone-video-rig/

yep im in for either or possibly both, any idea of sales date and where we can get them

sweet are any of them published yet, and is there a theme on the page or anything like that

Oh but do like the cache idea though

uhum Mr Cincol, it just so happens that it will coinside with our visit to SA and our trip to CT, purely by luck actually as we only noticed the event after our accomodation was booked Ill send you a postcard

hmm, coin looks good, ill defos take a few with me back home

Damit seen just to late, i see its been archived now pitty

Final cache determins which one you chose

I agree,but i think putting it inside a pair of goggles is easier, and really do able given the technology already out there in the garmin units, how much more difficult can it be

Seen this and wondered how long it would be before we go caching like this, personally i think its a great way to go caching. Any thoughts on it http://www.gizmag.com/zeal-recon-transcend...-goggles/16605/

listen to podcacher.com while out caching

let us know how you got on with it

For those who have iphones, you can now download a app for the iphone to do the Wherigo caches, all you need to do is search for WHERPIGO its a free app, just make sure you download the player for a pocket pc

not for too long guy, need to find them caches quick

And now approaching the coast of France/Spain http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Centroid@40....8142802&z=8

Treat them nice guys as i know you will, we had the pleasure of meeting them at the UK's 1st Mega, nice folks, hope you enjoy your visit to South Africa

Well i concur with the above, a great event was had, great to meet up with you folks after soo long and hope you got that screen protector waxed A busy day was had,with meeting people, buying coins, caching with a German couple who we met at one of the caches and it ended up that they were staying at the same B&B as we were. For those who are thinking about it, give it a serious think, it is great, here is the link to the cache page http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC2921G For us it was a round trip of 2406km, up the west coast of Scotland to John O'Groats, over to the Orkney islands for 13hours of straight caching, then back down the west coast to Perth for the Mega and finally home. Total cache count round about 110 mark...im still logging all the finds. So plans are in motion for Wales next year, hope to see some of you there.

Keep them eyes peeled guys you never know what you may find out there. http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/finds+ex...9127/story.html

Well I bought mine in the Uk a week ago, and yesterday while I was on my week trip of Scotland all I got when I powered it up was the garmin name and that's where it gets stuck. No mater what I did phoned garmin and even with their help I'm still no better, it would seem like a softwear faliar so I have to send it back to them. Hugely disappointed has it had my weeks work of caching on it

Another idea would be what tourist attraction makes that province known, remember to cater for the market, produce a coin and icon that is going to sell, the USA is the biggest market for buying coins, perhaps approach the tourist board and maybe get some sponcership from them, in return you could offer them a marketing space on those little white cards that one gets with every coin in the plastic covering. What a great way for the tourist board to get some great exposure, and you guys extra cache making it easier on your pockets
