  1. Perhaps someone around the area could hide some 'members only' caches? Think how annoyed he/she would be when they can't obtain the co-ords!

     

    This option sounds like the best idea to me. Though not so good for all the genuine non paying members it would al least stand a much better chance of staying safe as I'm sure this low life would not even consider paying to become a premium member.

  2. I think you should still email the owner of the cache saying what you have stated here and if you get no reply then I would think that you should be allowed to merge the two.

    If the cache is close to where you live then maybe you could also suggest that you could adopt the cache if that's an option for you?

    You could also contact the guys at head office to ask for their advice before doing anything

  3. HI gang

    Is there anything in the rule book that stops me from changing my one and only micro cache to a regular cache.

    The location will move only a couple of feet so the co-ords will stay the same. The only thing that will change is the description and the hint so is it allowed? :laughing:

  4. I know that quite a few people have had this same problem so can someone please help.

    I recently set up an account on both Geocaching.com and G.UK.com for my sister and although she is now shown on the cachers list on G.UK and you can call up her profile, she can't log into log into G.UK as it says user name unknown......WHY?????????? :ph34r:

    Both username and password are the same for both sites so can anyone help PLEASE.........

  5. England will be full v soon won't it, and Eire will be some time off... does this mean we are soon going to be at a point where we can set 'em in England? Might be worthwhile because it would set the ball rolling B)

    Does this mean that everyone that is going to place a cache in England has already got a location in mind and if not, how long have we got before caches are expected to be placed?

    That's assuming that all cachers have obtained permission from landowners to place them, this in itself can take a while.

  6. Unless all cachers can choose the type and difficulty of their caches the whole challenge just becomes a driving challenge. It could be noted that most cachers had agreed to set a cache for this project BEFORE rules about where and what caches they could place were even mentioned? (page 5 of the 7 page thread)I know I didnt sign up to set a cache that someone could drive 10 minutes off the motorway/dual carriageway, park, have a 5/10minute walk, then back to the car and onto the next county - as I see it, thats what the quest will become if we are constrained to what we can set so the challenge isn't too difficult??

     

    Not everyone will live in a county that has rolling hills as far as the eye can see so I think it's inevitable that some caches will have to be placed in locations that will only be, say a ten minute walk from car to cache.

  7. I am looking for 30 caching teams who have a dog in their team, for a new posting TB :unsure: I have ready to go. :)

     

    I already have 11 teams/dogs and I only need 30 for this one, if you would like to take part please send us an email through our profile.

     

    Mandy :P

     

    Anyone got a dog I can borrow cuz I want to play too. :D We have 3 cats, 2 kids and 1 Goldfish will they do instead? :rolleyes:

  8. One important aspect which I don't think has been mentioned yet..... All caches should be as near to 100% muggle-proof as possible - which would probably mean no urban caches and none that would require the Stealth "attribute".

     

    I'd personally be mightily miffed if I travelled 500 miles to pick up a key cache in the series, only to find it'd be trashed by the local chavs the night before (even though I don't drive, and will be unlikely to do much of this series).

     

    Just my two-pence worth.

     

    A very good point indeed and one I feel will sadly be almost impossible to achieve.

  9. Can I have your responses to the following "Draft Guidelines" Version-1 (12/3/07)

    1. Traditional style caches ONLY

    I agree. It's going to be hard enough to complete even with regular caches

     

    2. One cache only per county

    Ageed, due to the number of caches involved with just one in each county

     

    6. Common Naming Structure e.g BIG Quest - West Yorkshire

    Sounds good to me. then people know what to look for when searching for the series.

     

    11. Each cache to be placed fairly centrally within area of the county (to avoid boundary disputes)

    Is it not more important to have caches local to the individual that has to maintain it. So long as it's within the county it's supposed to be then why does it have to be central?
