  1. me, i'm just thick! i need to be shown how even the simpilist puzzles work
  2. I too, like H & P,am enjoying Happy Landings days in North Wales, must be like being in a simply paul area, except we usually begin arguing at the 6th cache of the day as the other half has had enough and wants to go home while i'm still craving the next hunt and the next and the next and the next If i didn't have her with me i think i'd never stop. but the feeling in the pit of the stomach as we drive back past somewhere, where i know there is a cache hidden AND WE DON'T STOP IS TERRIBLE
  3. Sorry to hear about the bags always thought they are a great idea and please don't be put off by just one inconsiderate thief. cath and i always enjoy your caches iain
  4. Take a look at ARRKs's Painting by number series in cheshire they are a great advert for caching, 3 well thought out multis each with their own twist in the tail and then a good colouring session to locate the final bonus cache coordinates, great fun, very children friendly even for this big kid iain
  5. Congratulations seems a while since we bumped in to you on frodsham hill finding rainbow orange. good luck for the next 100 and the next ten or more years iain
  6. Looked great fun, well done lads really enjoyed the vid especially the fly swatting bit iain
  7. Well done will watch with awe your future milestones Iain
  8. The way P&T go at it, it is definetley a sprint event. Can't see a stealth event would work though, as you wouldn't see the winner so how would you know that there was a winner
  9. Calm down no need to get stressed at least the tbs not missing Does this mean QQ is going to be archived?
  10. Kelsbarrow wayfinders utilise some very good camoflage bags which make ther containers well hidden, while i must hand it to Arrks with the camo net, on painting by numbers, that i didn't spot for 10 mins while i shifted sticks and logs all around it eventually spotted it when i actually kicked the ammo box under the netting Cacher's eye was well out that day
  11. But you are responsible for some of those mystery caches aren't you!! so don't blame other people! but i agree more trad caches for us thick caqchers who can't work out your fiendish puzzles. Another series like the plough or the rainbow would be good to get my numbers up and running again
  12. In Agreement with skippy and pingu. its all about local knowledge and the brains to exploit the hiding places. But remember the G:uk ratings are for your enjoyment in finding the cache and as such i enjoy every cache to a certain degree but the location i.e by coniston water is the big plus factor in my enjoyment i find it very hard to mark the caches objectively, as each cache has taken me somewhere even if the place/hide wasn't spectacular. All in all just enjoy it and don't worry if you have missed a good one because there will be plenty more to find i mean all cheshire cachers are enjoying MN's series (i missed out and are watching from afar) and we don't know his/her/their experience!
  13. There seems to have been a quite high mortality rate among the bugs!!
  14. We have recently been to pembrokeshire, we were camping though, and can highly recommend the caching round there as LEWYLEWY has quietly been placing caches in some very spectacular places. well worth a visit and its a bit off the beaten track
  15. Finally finished my crane course and am now back at work with access to a computer. A big thanks and hi to gary for the non- event really enjoyed it roll on the next one
  16. Congratulations on your milestone or is it a millstone
  17. i always log a DNF when i've attempted a cache and failed, I use it as a badge of honour, that i tried and came last again even if i got close and hunted for a while or just abandoned due to the prescence of muggles i will still post a DNF Also sometimes the kindly cache owners take pity on me and email with a clue or some kindly words of advice, thanks to all that have helped me when i have been stuck.
  18. I'm a naughty boy sitting on my last warning with 9 points i used to travel to work to southport at the time via parbold hill, west lancs off Jcn 27 M6, and there is a nasty camera near the bottom of this very steep hill, i knew it was there but at 6 am on a sat morning it caught me doing 35!!! in the 30 zone down the hill, which as anyone local will confirm is the steepest road in the area. Ah well
  19. Work is getting in the way i'm k nackered. Don't know if i'm on this earth or fullers and to cap it all i've got to empty the bilges tonight cause they are full of water and it looks like the boat is sinking so no quality time for caching looking forward to the mill next week iain
  20. Bargee because i live on a narrow boat and couldn't register boatman and now there is the boat people floating around somewhere as well I know that in the days when the canals were used for commercial carrying of freight being called a bargee was an insulting and derogitory name for a narrow boater, usually calling into question his boating skills. but i've made my name and now i've got to live with it!
