thanks for those replies .theyre all on the list to be done,any more within striking distance would be appreciated,i am looking of course as we speak,but people who are local to the path will have the wealth of knowledge needed.

i wasnt looking at all that other stuff,i was referring to the geo caching bits n pieces

in my case convenience overides any slight price fluctuation .

just found a supplier of geocaching stuff thats local to me,does all the bits n pieces inc travel bugs ..finger technology ltd,tel 0870 350 0001..hes based in radlett herts.nice bloke to

greetings, can anyone out there tell me of any caches theyve done on the ridgeway path ?.we are walking it again shortly and intend to take the gps with us this time .thought we would kill 2 cats with 1 stick and do all the caches along the way .any replies are gratefully recieved.

i would like to add my best wishes to Hazel and hope she recovers as fast as possible,i feel bad as it was my cache she was hunting at the time . not a good start for a new cache

if youre after a good solid workhorse thats kind on batteries i would go for the 'yellow' etrex.i use one and find it perfectly able.

difficult to read ?

the 15 micro waypoints was a challenge but it all works as ive tested it out.situated in the Ashridge woods it should keep you all on your toes and hopefully amused i thought it deserved a cache at the end so i have hidden one in the 'grave'.

greetings to all here.. well ive attempted to try all the different ideas and have to say that Teasles convertor gets my vote for idiot proof usage..ive now been able to plot my new cache route 'witches grave' (GCMN5R) and very pretty it looks to a big thankyou to Teasle

greetings, thanks for all the helpful replies,im trying them all in turn nick...ive just done a 15 waypointer cache and wanted to plot the waypoints on a map,i prefer the british grid over the lat/long system....saying that the whole cache is done using the lat/long system.i can get my head around the british grid but the lat/long thing goes over my head

we use the bt freeway pmr sets and find them very useful.admittedly the range suffers in the trees but well worth having them all the same

we use the bt freeway pmr's and find them very useful

greetings i have a 'yellow' etrex and am in no hurry to replace it..does the job for me perfectly.never let me down at all.

greetings, as a newbie to gps etc i could do with a nudge in the right direction as regard converting wgs 84 co-ords to british grid os co-ords...ie N 51° 45.487 W 000° 25.886 equates to British Grid: TL 08357 07771 how do i convert the north & west co-ords to the british grid co-ords ??????????????.i have the n & w co-ords i want to convert but have no idea how its done.any help would be great bright blesings...third-degree-witch

i got my girlie to go into boots and she returned with a shopping bag full ! . they were more than happy to hand a load over,free !!!!!!!!!

fao windywalkers.....hmmm not good people like that need castrating with a rusty bread knife,blunt of course. luckily i bought my yellow etrex and had no such problems.its working very well for a working class unit,amazing these little boxes.taken for granted to easily in my view.
