Hi there. I already own a few caches but trying to work out where the devil i get the magnetic ones from. When i look online as soon as the word GEO is mentioned the price seems to double. Any one know where i can buy them at a decent price or what other items work well.

When something is wrong with one my caches i try and get people to contact me directly via my email listed on my profile as that way it goes to my phone. the geocaching emails get put in to different folders which i dont check on my phone. also some times people send a photo of why its faulty. one the best photos i ever had was where one my caches had been caught by the grass cutter.

I would just like to take a moment to publicly appologise to Red Duster, for the views i have shared about the methods of reviewing. I know some my caches have been out of his control and more than likey they would be approved if it was not for the SSSI issues. I also like to applogise for the attitute taken towards my local follwers of my caches in disabling them due to views shared by non local cachers. I say one thing about the views that stuff should be reported to the reviewers when stuff is not right about a cache. Any one remember that kids televsion show called Recesse. Mainly when randle the playground snitch would go to miss finster. the like "miss finster miss finster thoses kids are kicking the football." reading some your posts no offense but it would sound like this "Red Duster, Red Duster this cache is placed 2mm outside of the approved area.

my mail box for geocaching is well set up for this for this but often the issue is that i have to then make a list of man down caches, and then go out and recover / repair / wave at it as its still there. Really they should make the site so if on the page that shows what i own, they made it so next to the found date it puts that little icon to show it needs looking at, it be easyer

I think to be honest there are bugs in the whole geocaching website as if i look at the list of when they was last found unless i go in to each cache i cant quickly in any way see any that might need attention. The whole point of this was to raise the awareness of the SSI issue and how it effects people. The problem as a whole is only one or two people on here so far have ever been near one my caches and i point out i am nearly 22. I am one of i want to find alot of caches, all the caches i visit i put my geocaching calling card in that contains a QR code for my profile, i brought my last phone to ensure i could use a geocaching app better.

to be honest i dont bother reading most my logs as they mostly copy and pasted stuff

The problem with the maintenance is that when you get about 30 logs its hard to filter off ones that are missing from the found ones. Other problem i have is people log did not find due to people near by. Or they put that it might need maintenance but dont say what needs replacing. Where i put a fellow cachers log as needing maintenance , i put down what is wrong with it. most the time i have spare pots in my mums car or in my bag. Also i have a if the cache has more than 7 DNF due to it might be missing i check it. Ive been out to a cache that had about 10 did not finds yet it was there. If they are missing i try and ask users to mail me so i can get a replacement out as soon. 95% of them have now been replaced or the conditions have improved to allow a cache to return.

Due to feedback received from local cachers, All my caches will be out until the near new year (Just waiting for student fiance to pay out as then i am ordering 100 new pee pots). This is due to new log books being rolled out and the way i manage the caches off the geocaching website. Mostly as having the last found date is not helpful when i view a long list of caches i just want to know what ones have had a did not find straight out. Also thoses who can not understand what i have written or have issues with the way my posts are when it comes to the use of english i say one thing. So long and thank you for all the fish.

oh that was due to i had no laptop at the time and c:geo would not let me update the log right. If Groundspeak actually made a mobile copy of the site i would have a easy life.

Well excuses the pun but when it comes to where i am its a gray day http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/default.aspx?lat=51.65765&lng=0.07257 in total about 46 caches gone in Loughton, Theydon bois and caveny island. May they return i dont know. Due to the pressure of other cachers it appears on reviewers and the american guidelines there was going to be a another 100 caches placed in the new year as part of a cache route but now that plan is being scrapped

theses problems have been going on for a while. ive had issues with both reviewers for the area and had enough of some the logs i get from cachers. i thought it be best to remove my caches and place them when the caching world has grown up a bit

but when you own 52 caches that take a while

but the cache does not invlove any of that. Next one to every one. how do i delete all my caches quickly as i feel the guidelines of this site i can not agree with any more.

first of all i will point out for the person who decided to attack my spelling and use of English i am servery dyslexic and in some sense your comment was extremely offensive. So far all theses messages have proven that most people who this has now became a life style for forget that people who like me when i started i had 1 cache with in reach of me and if you don't drive its hard to get to some. Mine made up a route that if done right they could get off at loughton station and walk it to theydon bois or debden station. I feel there are to many "cache Police" around who try and enforce a guidance. The fact one my caches i got to remove a very key bit of information that its located on the site of a car bootsale is more surprising as i would of thought that be a key spoiler or if local cachers go to access it they would know its there. its not like ive put "countryside promotions Sunday boot sale upshire" which would be commercial. with regards to the favor point system its a pointless system as people just log and go. only cache owners who are cache policers are worried about the points. If your like me or my mum we log off our mobiles / mobile based devices. so we cant place it.

ive had a range of my caches get negative feedback yet they been in some beautful locations but some times the conidtions have changed and when i visited the cache to review if its still in the right situation they been how i left them

I may now take the time for any local caches or people visiting mine to say once they have three did not finds they will be removed nor once they need maintenance as the views so far have matched the views of a lot of local cachers who leave some pretty nasty logs that have been deleted from the caches. the cachers with a low few are normally happy with the placements and the fact that a area has a few to make traveling worth it for them. but as soon as people seem to get past 300 they get very judgmental about caches. as a owner i think its time that i stop managing them and placing them as my judgements must be totally out and i got better things now to get on with like my uni course

the problem is out my way there are a very low cache population. if i was to remove all my caches in Loughton this would leave us to only have about a handfull caches in a area. they not all place with stuff of interest but more placed so new cachers can find them and hopefully go off and explore new places. at least 75% of my caches are not placed without any interest of why they are there. when i have placed one cache of interest such as a blue sign, people dont visit it as its one on its own. instead i have to create a group with say 3 other filler caches of little intreast. i had a few in the canvey island, essex that had very little to do with any interest but was more in memory of some one who died which a few had funny storys. I would put more out with in my area but the rules that are issued for cache owners do not allow this to happen.

Basicly its near a pub that is just before the M25. Its one them places that you half expect to find a quick cache and dash with a few pubs near it. the other problem is i placed a cache on a site of a bootsale where i work with their permission and i know the farmer for the land and i have a cache on his other site as well. The problem comes that as its with in like 40m from a school where you can see the gates from the cache and most their fencing has stuff grown up it blocking the view of like the playground, there is worry over people looking at the school there. yet the school gates are not as clear as it shows on a out of date street view image.

The problem is that i cant see is how if its a car park that its covered. One of the things i don't get is that its going to be damaged in the area as its on a main road between two local towns. Also speaking with my local council before about it you get a bit bounced around between the corp of london and epping forest distict council. 95% the time there are council units parked in this space using the mobile burger unit in the pub

I have just had 3 caches rejected for the reason of them being in a science place of interest, and the fact they are in eye line of school gates. The problem i have with this is the fact the ones in theses so called "science places of intreast" is that two of them are in carparks and not directly in the forest. Yes on the really bad magic maps they show up in them areas but how are they affected. Also the one with the school its not directly in eye shot of the school gates as if not any caches with in 200m on that road would be in eye shot of the school. Theses was placed with my mum with me who found more than 1600 caches and have found them in worst places. I placed all theses caches with more local knowledge and with the school one its placed on a bootsale sites gates with their permission and also i work for the company who operates it. Do theses reviewers actually have any common sense as with the forest ones my local council will just see me as wasting their time
