That so annoys me , it's just so rude. I just grab them back Similar sentiments here. I found one cache a couple of months ago and left a GC. At the next cache I met another group of cachers going the other way, told them I had just dropped a coin in their next cache, and moved on. By the time I got home they had already grabbed the coin, logging from their iphone I don't see the problem here, surely you put them into the cache to be grabbed by someone else ?

Hello there and welcome to UK Geocaching. Like yourselves I am relatively new to Geocaching, having started only a few months ago. I did a few, left it for a while and now I am doing quite a lot more. Thats the beauty of Geocaching, you can do as much or as little as you like Enjoy!

Hurrah! I like bed

Well next years will be 11/11/11. It will be exactly the same as this year except you have find one more cache in colder weather

I'll come and dive with Chris if we can log it (the cache AND the dive)

If it is at one of the pontoons that the boats moor up to, which it obviously must be from what you are saying, then I am not sure you'd get permission to dive/jump in there. You could check with the harbourmaster and see what he says...

If I am down that way, and you have access to the boat, I'm quite happy to have a look, as if its survived up to now it will survive sort on indefinitely... if you see what I mean.

As a diver, I'd be willing to give it a go, but it could of course move with the times, and as I live in Leicester it would take me a couple of weekends to get down to Poole (I love Poole and the diving from it too!) How much is an Oregan anyway, because the costs of getting it recovered along with the chances of it not wanting to work anymore must be quite close ?

Are you allowed an underwater cache that only divers can get to ? It would be fun to have a Geocache say at Stoney Cove, the inland dive site near me...

I have an old GPS V which I don't use because its old. I am considering becoming a Premium Member now that I cache a little more, but I can't really justify buying another GPS just to download the pocket queries and cache info into. I don't suppose there is any chance you can download stuff into something this old ? Failing that I also have a somewhat new Garmin Nuvi 250 (I think its a 250) and I also have my TomTom XXL whcih I use for road use. Are either of these any good ? Thanks for any info, although I work in IT I don't know much about the GPS units!

I'm just wondering what relatively undiscovered gems are out there, particularly in my area, the East Midlands. Here is my contribution GC1C55 This is a virtual cache near to Rempstone in Leicestershire. Now I know a lot of people don't like the old virtuals, but this was a lovely little cache, with an awful lot of history attached. Any other gem caches out there that don't get discovered perhaps as often as they should, this one has only been found 126 times in 9 years...

With your injury record Kehotee, I reckon you would manage to fall over and shoot yourself in the foot

Duplicate post due to site errors, sorry!

Some people really have issues with Micros I guess it relates to when you started caching, I started when nanos and micros are the norm, but others started when "proper" (so called) caches were the norm!

I quite like Nanos, as long as they're not in the middle of a forest and painted green Nanos work very well in towns and cities, where I can pop out and do a cache at lunchtime. Outside of cities and towns I prefer to find Small sized caches, so there is something to look at. I tend to do a mixture of the two generally.

Daft bugger GWS!

Nothing other than nettle stings and sharp branch pricks so far, but then again I'm a relative newbie

Can I add that this is in your opinion. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying. Feel free Its all about opinios, thats why its a discussion forum

Personally I wouldn't bother, as I wouldn't expect many people to go into an office block to find a cache, you are going to get stared at and also possibly interfere with the running of the business. However, you don't say where you work, if it is in a museum, then it could be a really good cache placement, as it would be interesting. Don't let anyone on here stop you, we all get to choose the caches we visit, after all!

As far as I can see, this cannot count as a find, unless the finder has agreed with the Cache Owner that they are going to do this, and are visiting a missing cache to place a new one. Even that isn't strictly a find, but I could go with that. Just chucking down a new log book - I could just walk somewhere near every cache in the area, throw a sheet of paper on the floor and log it as found, silly!

Any advance on 1 ?

Sometimes I Do and sometimes I Don't. It depends on how much of an effort I have made. One cache I found this week was at my third attempt and about 30 minutes searching per visit. If I hadn't found it the third visit I would have logged it. I also logged an attempt that I spent an hour failing to find a while ago, but didn't log a cache I tried to Cache and Dash on the way home from work and failed to find, as I didn't really give it a fair search. YMMV of course!

A nice easy answer there then, I did wonder why there were only about 200 virtual UK caches. I did my first virtual at the weekend and I was wondering why there were not more. Thanks!

I have enjoyed them, and wouldn't do caches just to get the numbers up, but on the other hand I am curious...

I know, missing most of the summer due to lack of time hasn't been the best way to get going. I'm trying to do one a day at the moment, although I've had two DNF's in row
