Night caching can be very annoying if you cant find the cache. Ive travelled over 20 miles on 2 occasions now not to find the cache and had to revisit another time when it became obvious in the light!

Any one know what the most difficult cache going is and where it is? and also what the nastiest one in the UK?

I finally got intouch with garmin and they requested that i sent it back. So hopefully i will have a new unit in the post within a week or 2. Whats the betting i never hear from them again though!

Hey! whats wrong with the 'bog standard' Etrex. It does its job just great for me. Other than the fact it decided to stop working last week and ive had to send it back for repairs its a great little buy! So you leave my etrex alone you nasty little man you!

Yeah, i work in a bar and finnish at about 2-2.30 daily so me Pid and Jason have done a lot of night caches between us. Latest being about 4am. Got some nice photos along the way which are posted on the cache pages. It makes doing the cache even better especially when the area is a litle bit spooky. For anyone else wanting to get into night caching i can recomend the pit near penn (although the cache seems to have been removed???) It is the creepiest place i have ever been in my lif and it was pitch black and raining, not nice at all!

I think i have too. When this cache is found there is going to be some serious drinking done (all over the country) by the sounds of many people are interested now. Garmin have really peed me off excuse my french. What a day for my GPS to break down. by the way everyone, check out multimap.co.uk ariel photos section, its amazing! and may well shed some light on the matter. I couldnt really get any further myself but seeing what my road looked like from 5 miles up or however far it is made my day!

I like most places but do get a little bored of trecking through woods on everysingle cache. I suppose my favourite type is where they are slightly risky and not all that well hidden from the public. Is there really no snorkling cache in the uk by the way? if so that will be changing soon.

As i have said before, my route took the following direction.... Started at the Sea Breeze hotel opposite the sports hotel 2 just around the corner from the manchester pub which is on the sea front blackpool. (This location is where i made my first mark. I then drove out of blackpool along the sea front, came to a roundabout and turned right keeping us on the sea front, drove past the sand dunes and the pontins holiday camp which i think are marked on maps. And continued for another mile in very rough terms. The cache is somewhere to the left of here. * A SPECIAL NOTE TO EVERYONE LOOKING: I do remember driving past some sort of garden place with a medium sized lake on my way back into blackpool ( my origonal search for a hiding place had not brought up and possibilities so we took a different route back), it all looked like it had a chinese theme. If anyone knows this place imagine the gardens in question. it looked oblong shaped from the road. from the fraffic lights we drove left along the long side of the oblong off in that direction. Anyway i think we planted the cache about 1-2 miles from there so if there are any fields in that direction go check em out!

Oh, also in rply to someone elses comment, the cache is definatly near blackpool. I remember driving away from where i placed it and my hotel being roughly 3 and a half miles away. If anyone does go looking make a mark at 'the manchester' pub on blackpool sea front and drive around until your 3 and a half miles away. some where on this 3 and half mile line will be a road through fields, national speed limit, bridleways with really rubbish parking. and you will be less than 400 metres from the cache

Wow guys, i could cry, you are all just so hlpfull! i first person to find this cache is gonna be named as the saint of cachers, the finest cacher of all time... Quite a few of your suggestions sound promising. I suggest that you all go to your selected site and search for it this weekend, blackpool could be infested with cachers, it would be a dream come true. Unfortunatly the photo i took of the site didnt come out, i was in a rush and it was pitch black. Oh and in reply to a previous comment, it is definatly on a bridle way yes. before i placed the cache i checked the sign at the start of the path to make sure it wasnt a private place. It said public bridle way. Good luck everyone. Very soon blackpools first cache will be on the site with coordinates to go with it!

We have been caching for a couple of months now and posted a bit on the forums, there are also lots of pics of us getting the caches. What i want to know is do you eople know who is who in the pics and do you even care!

I goto Northumberland every year for the last 8 years. I stay at the same place every time. I dont know what your budget is but definatly check out this website its the best place i have ever been, im sure anyone would love it too: http://www.beaconhill.co.uk/

Well ive just had a good look at the ordanance survey map. The place which looked most promising was this reference: Co-ordinates at centre - SD333310 (333380, 431000) GB Grid. This is the B5261 this however is by no means a certainty it just seems to go from a little village to the blackpool outskirts running through fields on the way. The cache is definatly around there though i would say the road i am talking about is that one or if not definatly within a miles radius.

Cheers guys this is starting to sound a little more promising. The area the cache is in is all fields for about a 2 mile period. There is only the one road running through the fields which goes from one village to blackpool outskirts (I THINK ITS BLACKPOOL OUTSKIRTS NE WAY. The bridge is down one of the 3 or 4 bridle ways. It crosses a stream.

Yeah, my Camera. If I forget it or run out of batteries i always have to revisit the cache and get some snaps even if its like 30 miles away. At the Jersey farm cache we got there got the cache, realised the batteries in the camera were dead, went back to the car, drove to a shop, baught batteries and went back again. Also i usually take my gps with me

Will do, its next on our list, just my GPS has broken and im waiting to get a responce from garmin before i can go caching again! how depressing

every single cache, i have a great screen saver of our travels. Its good to let people know that there cache is still in good tact. Just wish people would take photos with mine!

thanx for the constructive comment! if you visited blackpool youd see why i dont think its all that impossible to find the cache. I had to drive around for nearly an hour before we found any fields! if someone does know the area well i am sure they will see these bridleways in the end and it will click.

Yes the brilliant cache pid said about is about 300 metres from the windmill. There are also 2 more cache within 10 miles. Search the cache directory for Watermead Wetlands and youll find your goal!
