I see. That makes more sense. I've corrected the cartridge and all is good. Thanks very much for your help!

Hi jonny, Thanks for your quick reply. In Urwigo, I entered a completion code into the settings under the file menu. This is the code that player.completioncode returns in emulator. I assumed this is where to set the code? Thanks Nick

Hi I hope someone can help with my query. I have built a Wherigo cartridge using Urwigo and supplied a completion code which is presented to the user on completion. I have been contacted by somebody who has the correct code that I entered into the cartridge, but the Wherigo website says it is invalid. Is there a fixed length and/or structure to the completion code? My code is alphanumeric with underscores and is 13 characters in length. Has anyone had the same issue before? Thanks, Nick

Thanks Splindlewood for your comments. I am not aware of having a medical problem with ivy, as this is the first time I have really buried my hands in it! I will certainly be more aware of this for the future! Apologies if I have offended you by posting our log, but as I mentioned we are new to geocaching and thought that was the proper way to notify yourself and future cachers of such 'hazards'. We will note this for future. This forum is great for these discussions, but shouldn't however be used for giving someone a public 'bashing'. Thanks to Tiger-Eyes for your positive suggestions - we will indeed think about taking some 'hunting instruments' with us in future!

We've really started something here! Let me start with a little background. We have only just start geocaching in the last few months and are really enjoying it. It's great to find all these nice new places with the addition of a challenge. Our son who is almost 3 really enjoys having a good 'dig' around for the caches, just as much as my wife and I do. The issue I have with Ivy, is that it can be an irritant (as in my case). I would therefore prefer not to search for caches in ivy, and do not wish my son to rummage through this plant in order to find a cache. In this instance, we had little choice as without finding all the caches, we could not find the bonus. It is also really frustrating when the co-ordinates take you to a group of trees, all covered in ivy (there are about 6 trees within 20 feet of the coords), and the clue tells you go look directly in it. It turned out that the cache was actually placed in a different tree altogether. The hide itself was actually rather nice, but frustrating it resulted in sore hands during the find. 'reddeeps' also commented about a later cache being child friendly. We don't allow our son to hunt for caches within 6 feet of a deep river. While it would be OK to locate the cache ourselves, then guide him in the right location, this is not as much fun for him. This is why I noted (not moaned) that this cache wasn't child friendly. This can also be said for the previous cache, where the container is located directly underneath barbed wire. We haven't set our own caches yet, so not sure if the options are fixed or not, but it may be better to have more options for 'kid friendly', or perhaps an age range. However, this would come down to the guardian of the child and their personal opinion on what is child friendly. Thank-you to Spindlewood for taking the time to read our logs, and raising this with the forum. It just goes to show that some cache owners are prepared to accept comments/suggestions from cachers, and take them on board.
