I've put a post on the Aussie forum for a volunteer...........I didn't mention the rugby Born to rule

I managed last year on a trip to Berlin by train from Runcorn to get a signal whilst on the Thalys train between Brussels and Liege-Guillimons. watching the speed climb from 85mph to eventually top out at 184mph was superb!!! tried again later on the DB ICE train but only managed a paltry 160mph beats driving anyday

I would definetley recommend the MM cache at Tebay. Superb views, and takes you to a nice quiet!?! (when no traffic going past) spot. well worth the break on you journey up north.

Don't forget to check the depth by the towpath at those coords as well, some of us have deeper drafted boats and cant get all the way in to the bank Cruise by caches rule!!!!!

ands he's got a black and white cat called Jess

The Aqueduct over the M6 Toll was installed at the time the Toll was built with money raised by the Lichfield and Hatherton canal society with a lot of help from David Suchet (Poirot). The aqueduct is to carry, eventually, restored Lichfield canal, which runs from the coventry canal near the A38 outside Lichfield to the Birmingham Canal Navigations, BCN, Near to Chasewater reservoir just off the A6 at Cannock, As you drive along the Toll southbound you can see the canal contouring round the hillside just after the aqueduct. The oppurtunity arose to build the aqueduct during the construction of the Toll at a much cheaper price than the cost of building a crossing point whilst the motorway was open.

Because people use the lazy way to log a TB without making any effort to move it. In areas where this is an accepted practice, it gets out of hand. TBs that end up in the Bristol Airport TB hotel , for example, tend to languish there for months while cacher after cacher discover them, because they 'Can't help with goal' or 'we're not going the right direction this time'. Half the time they don't even check the mission, but think it's appropriate for a TB to sit there for months just because nobody (for example) is heading to China. Take a look at this TB. It belongs to a child who I'm sure would like to see it travel. It's been sat in that cache for over 2 months, while cacher after cacher discovers it. That's not an unusual situation for TBs that end up there, it just seems to be the accepted local way of doing things. Thats what hurts to discover a coin or a TB! Tigs But surely that is more the fault of the accepted practice of TB hotels /motels /cafes / PRISONS. I try to take bugs and clear out these hotels when i pass

No you Don't Hazel .... You move every tb and coin to get the cacher of the month points

congratulations to both teams

next section is edinburgh's coast so right up your street HH

congrats hazel you will soon be past me

Lynda has set a puzzle/multi-cache, using verse clues provided by Bert. One of the stages is on the boule-piste at the Bull, but has she asked Sid's permission?? Meanwhile over at home farm Debbie is hiding an ammo box somewhere very unusual. (cut to sounds of Brian howling). OOO a geocaching soap opera.... whens the next instalment,

Yes I noticed over the weekend My inbox had a few extra owner found notifications in it from your KeeBee, more the merrier and glad you enjoyed the caches

Congratulations to Moote , who found his 800th cache yesterday well done Milton

Well done to the two of you Wibble

I picked the TB up yesterday, i am going to the Hazels rake meet so anyone going to harrogate can grab it off me there.

Thanks everyone, without you lot setting the caches they wouldn't have been there for me to enjoy over the last 2 and a half years.

done it

the Poirot story is the ABC murders

I've started a bookmark list for the cheshire ring, of canals but it is as yet unfinished I will be trying to complete it very soon, but if in the northwest nearly all but 2 of my 40 odd caches ( shameless cache promotion )are on the banks of a navigable canal or river.. much easier for maintenance when i can tie up alongside the cache

There is a cache where you have to fill the tube yourself from a nearby stream. The trouble is, there are holes all over the tube, so it flows out quickly. You need to block the holes with your hands/tape/someone else's hands to retrieve the cache from the top of the tube. There is this cache in runcorn set by verve

Well done, ian Iain and Cath

Thanks for all the replys aren't peoples beliefs/ superstitions strange? Iain the bargee

Whilst we were investigating a walk via some caches in the lakes by Ullswater, we came across pictures of a tree that has had lots of copper coins hammered into it? the tree is near Aira Force. Does anybody have any more info on the tree? and why? walk page
