  1. my good friends andys101 and mrs redfrock sadly dont have the time to cache as much anymore and are unable to maintain one of there caches. as it was the first cache they places (and an enjoyable one) they would like to put it up for adoption.

    gc number GCR2k4 if anyone lives close to here and would like to adopt this one please pm me and i will sort out sending the adoption forms.

  2. a byway off Blue Bell Hill (most of my caches or on lanes/byways I know form doing off-roading so green laners can do them without having to do any ghastly walking!).

     

    Marvellous I may have to get the TKC's back on the bike :rolleyes:

     

    awwww i miss my bike byway caches used to be my fav

  3. thay look good, roughly how long is the walk as im 6 months pregnant so can only manage a few miles.

    Walk is a little over 2 miles and all flat, only one that might cause you a problem is #4 but if you have somebody with you it should be easy due to the nice bright dry spell we have had. {think there might just be a hint in there} :)

     

    thanks ill give them ago on sat

  4. i enjoy these caches and dont see y it would be a prob eg tb hotel pecs is one of my fav caches and i know its safe to leave bugs coins ect as its behind the bar in a pub. i dont see y n e one would find this a prob as u are not obliged to buy a drink when u do the cache though i must admitt most of the time its nice to chill with a coffee whilst filling out the log book.

  5. i have two caches with pub car parking though other places are avilable. but in both pages i mentioned going in to the pub for a drink of dinner i dont see y this would be a prob as it encorages more buissness to them. and free advatisement. i have been on many caching events were we go out for the day and find a cache in the pub car park then we all end up havng lunch there. so i dont see how it can be a bad thing.

  6. i was looking for a micro along the beach which was hidden under a bench but as always all the benches are empty apart from the one with the cach hidden on it. i was hanging round waiting for the 5 of them to finish there ice creams which with 3 young kids was taking some time. eventualy i got fed up and asked them if they had seen a ring as i think i had dropped it near the bench earlier. the man said he hadnt seen it and moved is family and ice creams to the next bench along so i could look lol

  7. We have quite a few OS Explorer maps for various areas around the country and find them quite invaluable. We need a new one for our forthcoming break in the Forest of Dean as our existing one is quite battered and bruised. Would anyone recommend the Active map against the normal paper one?

  8. i only got my membership this year i wasnt intrested in it before as i cached with my eterx and just loaded it by hand. now i have my oreagon and i pre load cache load routes ect i wouldnt go back for the small amount it costs if u have a gps u can load its well worth it as i can go any were just turn on the gps and go to the closest cache. its fab.

  9. if a byway is sign posted or/and on my map then i would use it. i pay my road tax so am allowed to use it as many times as i like. though i would not drive a bridle way or foot path. if the farmers start planting trees/post in the way they will be removed as its my righ of way. nothing like a day mud plugging.

     

    though i havent had a 4x4 for a few years so for now the byways near me are a bit safer lol.

    Please please use cation when following a map, and driving down what is indicated on it as a byway. We've already had one member, who using a older OS map drove down a byway indicated on his map. Which had been re-classified, the signage indicating that it was closed to Motor Vehicles being removed by persons unknown [suspected by the Council to be renegade 4x4 Drivers]. This person got stuck and cause some visible damage where his vehicle had been stuck. This was brought to the attention of the local council, who at one point were talking about pressing charges against this person. Only after discussions between myself, the person involved and the council official. Was the intention to press charges dropped, as it was a genuine mistake.

     

    Please do not presume that just because a map shows a BOAT, that it is still so designated. And be aware that the legally required signage, could have been illegally removed by unknown persons.

     

    It's not a situation I wish toe see anyone else, in nor do I ever wish to be involved again in such a situation.

     

    Responsible 4xx4 Drivers are not the issue, it is the small number of Renegade 4x4 Drivers who ruin it for the rest.

    anyone who goes off roading should know to always walk the lane first to spot any dangers ect and always go in twos as if something happens you can be pulled out or rescued ect. and a days route takes a few hours to plan comparing diffrent maps i used to use memory map and an os map plus the gps and if the by way has a restriction on it not to use it as every so often they are closed to let the land recover if they are a well used track. i agree the people who do not follow the main rules should not be allowed to ruin the experiance for others an should stick to the man made corces.
