    Thanks guys for all your help and suggestions, I don't feel so bad now about going into the jungle Now :laughing:

     

    If any events are on at the end of November, drop me a line and I will come along with a bag full of TB's. I would arrange one myself, but wouldn't know which locations are any good.

     

    If you see a couple of Kiwis looking confused in the Jungle, don't worry its probably just us..

     

    See ya later...Gary

     

    Hey,

     

    maybe you could list it down you be in SG from what date and stuff?

     

    Howdy,

     

    I will send you an email with the dates, we are looking forward to re-visiting Singapore.

     

    Picked up a Green Jeep last night, so I will try and find a cache large enough to place it into in for all you Singapore cachers.

     

    See ya...Gary

    What is the point?

    Well we did them the other weekend and we both enjoyed the nice walk along the canal.

     

    Also had a nice lunch, so I can’t agree with this post at all.

     

    Isn’t Geocaching about getting people out and about visiting new places, in that sense the caches are brilliant?

     

    Maybe you should do the caches first Mr Planner and then report back? What you think?

     

    See ya…Gary

    Caches Up For Adoption

    Now you've learnt the civilised ways of the people of the Mother Country,please go forth and educate the NZ tribe "knowen" as "The Westies" :D

     

    I tried a similar thing in New Lynn a few years back and even Parramatta,west of Sydney.....Didn't work though! ;)

     

    Fo those who don't know what I mean......

    Well we are Westies, so no education needed. We have full knowledge of the westie ways. We both grew up in Henderson in West Auckland.

     

    That reminds me I had better get my AC DC shirt and my black jumper out of storage ;)

     

    See ya...Gary

    Caches Up For Adoption

    Posted · Edited by KiwiGary

    Hi,

     

    We much sadness :D , we are leaving England to return to our homeland of New Zealand. We are very sad to be leaving all our new caching friends in England.

     

    If you keen to say goodbye in person, you should see us both at our event on October 18th. It can be accessed via this link.

     

    Anyway obviously it will be very hard for us to maintain our caches from 18279 kms away, that’s 11,358 miles for the English among you ;). So if you think these caches are worth saving and you have the time to maintain them, then please put your name forward to adopt the ones that interest you.

     

    We have created a bookmark with all our caches; you can access it by clicking here.

    If you are ever get to New Zealand, be sure and drop us a line if you need a local caching guide :rolleyes:.

     

    Any caches not adopted will be archived on 14 October 2006, and then removed from their hides to prevent Geotrash.

     

    Thanks

    Hey KiwiGary,

     

    First I gotta say I love your avatar. Spa Susi and I found that figurine in a cache on our trip to South Island. It reminded me of how Spa Susi looks when she's following me on the trail so we kept it.

     

    If you're looking for jungle walks another fabulous day out is the Woodcutter Trail. You can do Morning Forest walk and Morning Forrest Walk 2 by thsalbert and keep walking to Susi's House and Decoy Cache on the far end of the trail. This is jungle trekking at it's finest and a side of Singapore that most tourists never see. If you're need detailed instructions on how to find the starting point and how to get back after you exit the trail let me know. If you're keen to do some jungle trekking, but feeling uncomfortable going out alone, let me and Spa Susi know. Now that we've found almost all of the caches in Singapore we're back to trekking on the weekends. We'd be happy to give you a taste of the jungle if we're in town when you're here.

     

    If you're Garmin users there's an excellent free map that you can download for Singapore. It's routable and very useful for giving cab drivers directions when they don't have a clue where you're trying to get to. It also shows a lot of Singapore trails that you won't find on any other maps. It's really awesome.

     

    We're long overdue for a Singapore cache event. I'll consult with Spa Susi, Indiana Janes and some of the other local cachers to see if we can put something together.

    Thanks Guys, that would be great I will send you an email.

     

    The avatar is from a cache we did in Nelson at the top of the South Island, so it could have been from the same cacher? Wow that is strange that you guys found one as well. Perhaps its someones sig item?

     

    Yes those maps are really handy, I will be loading those onto my GPS for sure.

     

    I will look out for any new events in town...See ya...Gary and Margaret

    Can I adopt this?

    I must agree with Bambi & Thumper, so I am right in thinking that if you flag a cache needs help. Ie. The Blue cross.

     

    And the owner doesn't bother and after a certain time that cache is archived? And the cache becomes Geolitter to remain in woods forever?

     

    Seems crazy to me, would it be better to call for locals to adopt it?

     

    See ya...Gary

    Greetings to all Singapore cachers.

     

    We are visited your island in November on our way home “New Zealand” and was wondering some things?

     

    Are snakes a big problem in the Jungles? Do you have any dangerous ones? How can we avoid them while caching?

     

    Also what do recommend as a good TB Hotel near Orchid Road, we have some bugs that need to be left somewhere?

     

    Thanks, if there are any events while we are in town maybe we will meet some of you.

    If you email me what roughy where you are going and what order, I could make you are Google earth kml file that you could upload to the new "caches along a route" feature.

     

    I have mapsource, so it won't take long at all.

     

    This will only work if you are prem member.

     

    See ya...Gary
