Sarah,Myself and my m8 mark,(thejetchef) are getting into underground caches.Any suggestions for some good ones in the Dorset,Somerset,Devon,Cornwall areas ?.Any suggestions gratefully received

Those sorts of errors sound as though you have got your GPS set for the wrong Datum. You haven't switched it over to OSGB have you? For caching it MUST be set to WGS 84 if you are using Lat/Long, regardless of what country you are in. Only if you are using OS grid coordinates should you change the datum.
Thanks for your reply.
I am using WGS 84 and the date is right.
A recent found cache (gc2484r) was published to be found on n 51.08.478 - w 002.43.493.
However, when I found it my GPS showed n 51.08.534 - w 002.43.534; roughly a deviation of 120 m.

This is extremely serious.
I am a Dartmoor Letterboxer and I have found two geocaches actually sited in the walls of Dartmoor Antiquities. The letterboxing, and I believe, the geocaching code of coduct clearly states that this is strictly prohibited. If the Dartmoor National Park was to find out about this practice we would all be banned from carrying on our respective hobbies. I'm afraid that I don't know who to contact about this so I have put this topic in your forum in the hope that someone will pick it up and take some action
you say you are a letterboxer on Dartmoor,what were you looking for in the 'walls of Dartmoor Antiquities' in the first place in order to find these 2 caches?...letterboxes perhaps ?

I always buy Berghaus explorers...now replaced by Berghaus explorer trail lights,extremely light and comfy straight from the box

Ive been caching over 5 years and still make noob mistakes on a regular basis

If it were my cache i would delete the 'find' as void...simple as

Sometimes a malicious (person) will post a "needs archived" notice on a cache which he hasn't actually visited.
The guidelines state that personal attacks and profanity are not allowed.
So what do you intend doing about it eh ? Personal insults have been made

I've had that happen to one of my caches, once.
What does it matter whether the person who puts a note on a cache has visited or not ??????. I place notes on caches usually when planning a caching mission,sometimes a 'needs maintainance' and sometimes a 'needs archived' when its very apparant the owners taken no action to care for his/her caches.I shall continue to place such notes as well even if you think im (I quote) 'a malicious ar##hole '.

LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT AND LEAVE NOBODY IN ANY DOUBT........Ive ALWAYS posted in my name and my name ONLY...unlike some on here who dont have the bollocks on them to post openly. I dont take kindly to being accused of being a sock puppet and would have hoped people who know me would know better.

Sarah and i are thinking of doing an event in Wiltshire in july

I think the Blorenge has it covered.

I fear theres gonna be a ill conceived 'spray' of micros placed in a hurry
-
It boils down to this,If youre not prepared/able to maintain the caches you set.........................DONT SET THEM ! , Simple as that. I fully accept people have life changes but a simple note placed on the cache would lead to local cachers offering to help im sure.Seems to me that its all the rage to throw out caches these days with no thought of their future care.

I to have a Berghaus coat,ive been through all of the reproofers and find none of them work,i just hope it doesnt rain to hard these days

I too have had a self appointed school prefect post a cryptic note on one of my caches. Like Silver Fox I totally agree that a PM or email would have been the best first course of action to find out the reason for any delay.
Whilst those who are able to go on this Forum all the time and who have the opportunity to cache 24/7 may think the likes of me are not 'playing by the rules' I would point out that some of us have other issues and concerns in our lives. We have set our caches as volunteers not as employees of Groundspeak. It can be quite upsetting to have others post notes without having the decency to contact us first - quite frankly it's very bad manners. I
Please consider others before firing off a casual note - not everyone is fortunate enough to have the ability to go out caching all the time!
I put the note on your cache,no probs in it being known.....i dont hide behind a sock puppet
And just to add i put notes or Sba's on 50 or so other caches today to.....
