quote:Originally posted by Team Dan+Pid (PID): If you aren't too o`fay with the London Underground I'll explain what you have to do... First of all get a Westbound Piccadilly line train from the Heathrow terminal and get off at Earls Court, then get a Northbound District line train to Paddington, you then have to walk under the quite long walk way to the main part of Paddington station because the Underground section and national trains section are'nt in the same bit. Told you this mainly because your GPS will not worjk for love nor money on the Subway. The cache is called PADDINGTON DARE. Pid WESTSIDE RESPEK! Lets get the party started! xxxx or you could get the heathrow express straight to paddington Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net

Depends if you will have wheels or not. If you don't check out the caching Tube map at the link below. Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net

it does say: "Delivered with a Lat/Lon / UTM template for plotting locations on maps with Lat/Lon system" the only thing is no body has been able to find such a thing for the UK.....so that will be handy then.

I don't see anything wrong with a bit of self promotion which is not for commercial gain. I kinda think that if you are not interested in a forum - don't reply to it and it will soon disapear out of site. Just a request to all users really - before you flame someone leave it 12 hours, take a deep breath and read what they have actually typed out loud in three different silly voices. If you still feel like flaming after that you probebly have a point to make...if not, let it lie.

(steps into the room - ignores the fight and sits firmly on the fence) Dan, I have noticed your caches and have been planning to do them as they all look rather groovey Don't worry, people will visit your caches it just takes time. Remember according to the stats there are only around 375 of us active in the whole country which is not that many when you think about it.

Just to let you all know that I have just released a new version of the spreadsheet which allows Conversion from DD MM SS, DD MM.MMM, DD.DDDD, UTM,UK National Grid to DD MM SS, DD MM.MMM, DD.DDDD, UTM, UK National Grid. The new version allows conversion of multiple waypoints and exports those points directly into EasyGPS Mail me if you would like a copy - for more info see the website below.
