Ranting ?????? i wasnt ranting....its called an opinion

Seems to me Paul that youre wanting people to subsidise your cache maintainance !.Also you state that a find on each cache is 'a guaranteed'.....this wasn't the case when most people,including myself spent our time,petrol/diesel and boot leather looking for them.Why should a select few who get 'manouvered' into paying towards your fuel costs get guaranteed finds ?,strikes me as rather unfair.I personally like the Ridgeway Run series BUT if you cant afford to spend the time or fuel money maintaining them yourself then why bother setting them ?.

Did you ask the owner if that was where the cache was originally placed? It was certainly not on a grave when I first found it, nor when I returned more recently (for a coin grab ) after reactivation. Perhaps it had been poorly replaced by an interim cacher? I found it some time ago and voiced my concerns directly to the cache owner at the time.....It was disabled after i recieved a snotty reply..I found the cache hidden on a grave under ivy AFTER following up on all the required number gathering so it follows that the cache was placed there initially otherwise the co-ords wouldnt have led me there would they ?.Also it is the responsibility of the cache owner to maintain / check on their caches and make sure they are ok.the rest of the cache was a pleasant wander,as i told the owner at the time,we were just disapointed that the final cache was hidden not only in a graveyard but on a grave.Even if the cache had been moved over time by finders the initial location of the cache would still have been the graveyard so your observation is rather flawed..i think it was poorly placed by the setter.We are hoping that the cache is now more thoughtfully placed.

Interesting that you still went ahead and searched for the cache, even with reservations. No, I don't necessarily agree with physical boxes in graveyards (it doesn't bother me per se, but may be offensive to others and I respect that) but collecting information from gravestones often gives a unique historical insight into the lives of the inhabitants and the history of the area which is surely a good thing. I wasnt aware that the final cache was in a graveyard...it was a wander around the village gathering numbers blah blah blah..so youre comment as regard me going ahead etc doesnt apply as i had no idea it was on a grave.
-
I came across a cache in a churchyard that was dumped on an actual grave !..ok the grave was victorian,long forgotten and overgrown but that is no excuse to dump a 50 cal ammo can right on someones resting place..I emailed the cache owner and got a snotty reply..The cache in question was this one 'tuff rock 2 northants ' (GCJWDP)..I note its been reactivated...be intresting to see if the final cache location is now more thoughtful.

Surely the Mine-Fields make it more intresting ?. One thing for sure,youre bound to triple check the co-ords hehe
