Quality every time, my highlights this year are "10th and 3rd" and "Centre of Scotland", all day hikes with but a single cache at the end.

Absolutely, neither Mrs CJ nor I ever wasted our time in pursuit of little plastic boxes, this isn't British Leyland.

Have only seen a few red squirrels this year, the most common animal I see are Roe Deer. I startled one today and it ran off through a wood making more noise than an entire football team, I thought they were supposed to be quiet animals.

DNB Do not bother - cache is lame so your batteries would be better off back home in the charger.

Buts in way of cache

The "Great" in Great Britain arises from the necessity to differentiate it from the original little Britain which is in France (a.k.a Brittany). There also was a time when northern France was ruled from England.

White Jeep "Jorrel" currently sitting in my rucksack and going somewhere in central Scotland this week.

It's an obsessive compulsive disorder for which no know cure exists.

Is there such a thing as an acceptable find to hide ratio and if so what should it be. Is it constant or does it vary as the number of finds increases. A newbie may have found 10 and hidden 1 (10%) but would an old hand with a score of 1000, maintain the same ratio and hide 100 caches. Please don't read this as implied criticisim of anybody, it's a genuine inquiry and nothing more.

You buy pencil sharpeners in quantities of 10

Not exactly a song title but there is a firm of estate agents in Perth named "McCash and Hunter" that give me a smile as I pass by.

How long before the moon cache is muggled and the TBs stolen.

You problem may be lack of premium membership rather than inadequate GPSr. Your current Etrex is capable of receiving multiple waypoints but you will need a serial cable. Once you get these things, you can download from gc.com a single file containing multiple cache data. You can then load the file into a PC program such as GSAK. In this program you can decide the name given to each cache, the GXxxxx name can be used but is not very helpful in large quantities, GSAK will allow you to define new cacche names based on the original full length cache name. Finally you can choose which caches are to be downloaded into your Etrex via the serial cable.

MM tends to return to it's default icon if it can't find the icon specified ina csv file. This may be the reason that a few blue dots still remain. Additionally Icons added to MM are numbered from 100 so a few geusses in this area can soon track down the ID numbers of any additional icons that you have imported.

I wanted Kryten (the robot from Red Dwarf) but it was already taken, but that name is often misspelled as Kryton but that was taken too, being Scottish I stuck a Mc on the front and that worked. So now I'm stuck with a spelling mistake, ah well.

I would normally consider it to be bad manners to take all the TBs from a cache but I have done it once at "10th and 3rd" (GCKRB3) because it had been 9 months since the bugs were placed and the cache location was so extreme that it could easily have been 9 more before the next visit.

A work collegue was telling me about some "nutters" he came across while out bird watching. As he is telling me about them I'm thinking, "sounds perfectly sensible to me", so I type GPS tupperware into google and the hook was in.

There is a certain cache which if you are silly enough to actually attempt, your track history will be found to contain the words "April Fool" written across the landscape in huge letters.

On a recent maintenance trip to one of my caches (only 1 month old) I found a bottle of Schnapps and a swiss army knife. Almost every cache I visit seems to have sharp objects like screwdrivers, pairs of compasses.

I am not at all competetive and the numbers mean nothing to me. That is why I completely changed my plans last weekend when four FTF opportunities suddenly appeared on my doorstep and also why I went out in the dark and rain when a couple of white jeeps appeared in my vicinity.
