  1. Ok.

    Thank you, Went ahead and did it....Absolutely fine, like you said.

     

    Close topic please?

    Hi!

     

    have a question and can´t find anywhere the answer.

     

    If i buy a premium account now for a year its valid till December or until Oct next year?

     

    Thanks!!

     

    It should be valid for exactly 1 year. So it will expire on the date you bought it.

  2. Hi, on the recommendation of a good friend I found this site, signed up, found a program for my HTC Wildfire and found four local caches on a very hot day yesterday.

    But it is a bit boring on my own and I don't understand most of the acronyms in the descriptions.

     

    My friend also suggested posting here to find a local who could show a middle aged lady the ropes!

    I have a bicycle and am located in Central Bedford UK!

     

    Thanks all

     

    I live in Bedford. I'd love to go caching sometime. Email me through the site if you like and we can arrange something.

  3. Might you be having a moan about a log by a cacher called IndiHM on the Abbey Road cache. It is rather a poor attempt isn't it. :anibad:

     

    I'm not going to mention specific people/logs as there are hundreds of poor attempts. The IndiHM Abbey Road log is excellent by the way, nice and clear.

     

    It's a shop. I can tell by the pixels and from having seen quite a few in my time. ;)

  4. A dedicated FTF hound can crush the spirit of the local community, especially so for newer cachers, who can, in some areas, never get an ftf opportunity.

    I don't agree. The same opportunities are open to everyone, but a little effort is required! If you don't check your notifications regularly, and be prepared to drop everything and go, you can't start wingeing that someone else got there first!

     

    I agree. I'd also add that the FTF hunt is only a small part of the game. And the FTF hunt is only fun because it's competitive. I hunt the FTF and usually lose to Pumpkin67. But the times I win are great. More so b ecause I know I beat someone to the cache.

  5. I wonder if this is anything to do with something a friend used to do. When lost he would follow any car that looked like its driver knew where he or she was going until he spotted a landmark he recognised. He referred to this as "Zen Navigation" and explained that someone who knew where they were going wouldn't be driving round in circles like he would if he was lost and once they'd led him somewhere he could recognise he was better off - even if the spell of 'zen' had taken him miles out of his way! FWIW, he was also a H2G2 fan. Although he never said where he got "Zen Navigation" from it actually works and it's also got me 'unlost' a few times!

     

    So, is the "zen" method of motoring merely to follow a driver who looks like they know where they're going?

     

    That's a ding.

  6. DING, although I suspect you had to look it up :laughing:

     

    It's in "So Long, And Thanks For all the Fish" by Douglas Adams - the fourth in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series. Still brilliant almost 30 years later. The book is on the shelf next to me - I must read it again sometime.

    I confess my original answer was Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Some kinda themepark planet. Though I thought i'd look up the exact quote.

     

    Another Adams Character is Dirk Gentley. He follows the "zen" method of motoring. How does this work?

  7. I just happened to look at the right time and for once knew the answer. :D

     

    Keeping it on a vaguely similar theme, where would you find God's Final Message to His Creation, and what was the message?

     

    Mark

     

    The far side of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains in the land of Sevorbeupstry on the planet of Preliumtarn, which orbits the star Zarss, which is located in the Grey Binding Fiefdoms of Saxaquine.

     

    It is "We apologise for the inconvenience." (at least for Marvin). Though some would argue that it is different for each viewer.

  8. i to worry i might be called an armchair logger, we only took geocaching up a few weeks back and im up to 90 finds but i work all over the country each day so get to do random caches here there evrywhere in a day or if i get 5 mins to bunk work and hunt 1 or 2 out,

    at the end of the day i enjoy hunting and dont see the point cheating as its only me im cheating and i really enjoy seeing the countryside now

     

    The only way anyone is going to be able to call you and armchair logger is if when they look at the cache log your name isn't there. As long as you sign the logs you have nothing to fear (not even the reaper).

  9. If you were going to go down the route of leaving a token rather than the cash in the cache. Maybe you could get some Geocoins made up. That would be a nice memento of the win. And it would also mean that should they be put into circulation you would get some added advertisement. I believe that the rules for geocoins are less stringent that the rules for caches.

  10. I reckon ppl will just cheat themselves to get the numbers up.....But C'mon guys n gals, if you do set a challenge make sure it cant be photoshopped or cheated! So im wondering weather the accept that reebok challenge or email the dude and ask if hell take it or not! Gonna do it the proper way and ask first :)

     

    Meh there's people who cheat for the numbers with caches and there will be people who cheat for the numbers on challenges. I take the same view. Geocaching might be a sport, or it might be a hobby. But which ever way you call it it's still a pointless activity. If you want to stay at home ticking boxes for the numbers then whatever go for it. The fun of geocaching is getting out of the house.
