We started with our GPS set to this New fangled feet and Inches thingy but it wasn't long before we changed to the proper Metric system. Some how 50Meters dosn't seem as far away as 150 Feet.
Just wondering what everyone uses (handy to know for cache descriptions, clues etc).

May be I am missing something but how do you know how many maps you can load into a GPSV and how "full" the memory is.
Can't seem to find the info anywhere.

Maybe if we get in touch with them we could share info. Might even convert a few more to the geocaching cause.
Thanks,
I'll mail them - see if we can help each other.

We consider ourselves to be privileged to join such esteemed company and very surprised to have got there before Jason W
We weren’t particularly interested in numbers until we got to 75 then it just seemed too difficult to resist, especially with Hertfordshire so close and so full of Tupperware.
A big thank you to everyone whose caches we have visited, it’s been a lot of fun. A quick review of the highlights is:
Furthest east:
Furthest west:
Most memorable for the right reasons:
Combe Hill, Combe and Find Me, Whitelife Cross, Monumental Journey and Windmill Hill (Great Views from all of them)
Sherlock & Cludo Series (Just great fun)
The Wilderness (for getting us started)
Brad & Coles caches (for getting us hooked)
Most Memorable for the wrong reasons:
Cludo Part 4 (Took over two hours to get within 100 Meters first time and second time took just as long to find it even though we were on the right side of the canal)
Lacock(cache box fell apart in Chris’s hands)
Sherlock Series (Chris got East & West mixed up and thought he had to go swimming for the final cache!)
Sorry if we have missed your cache above – be we did enjoy them all.
We are hoping to do a bit more Planting (2 planned in Ireland and a Stanstead TB Hotel) in the coming weeks to celebrate our joining the Century Club.

what are these points etc you are all talking about used for i am quite intrigued now?!?Dan Wilson (Team Dan and Pid)
Love the new name by the way
A trig point is a mark that the ordnance survey use to triangulate from to create maps (though this has all been replaced by GPS based mapping). They are a concrete lump with a three pointed brass thing embeded in the top. There is one on the top of Combe hill in front of the monument. You might have seen it through the snow when you were up there

How about we combine the two lists with those that are not verified having "*Not verified" after the name. That way you get loads more targets and we can have found/not found just like real caching...wadayafink
Sorry that makes things a little unclear - let me try again:
we have 200 locations which are out there, you can get to them and we have exact co-ords for (we have another 400 with only 6 fig references). The other 6000 we have exact WGS84 co-ords for, only it's not been established wether they are still there or not and if it's possible to get to them or not. So aiming for these ones makes it a similar kinda game to Geodashing.
Is that clearer?

Country Map Link on Homepage
in Website
Posted
When I go to the "My Cache" page I have the option to "Search for nearest caches in United Kingdom or from your home coordinates" which is Cool
What Would be great was if it had a link on the My Cache page to the "View cache map of United Kingdom" (I know it is on the ""Search for nearest caches in United Kingdom" page but I use it all the time and it looks like a tiny change to the system...but then what do I know?)
