[How Common Is It Not To Log?]

I know my sister never records finds on the site.. She uses geocaching.com to find the location but says, "when I get back I dont feel like putting the computer on, I can't be bothered with all that!"

["congratulations"]

Congratulations!!

[Returning To Caching!]

Hey all.

 

I am returning to caching after a break after I had a car accident at the beginning of the year. I thought I'd stop by & take a look at what has been going on since January - a lot by the looks of it!

 

I'm back on the road with a new car & hopefully with the lighter evenings now and better (ha!) weather I can return to the hills & start bagging those caches again

[Caching Event In Somerset]

Hiya & yes Somerset get-together sounds like a great idea... I'm from Taunton so fairly central for travelling the length & breadth of the County. Get the ball rolling I say!

[The Caching Blues]

Thanks PP I might just take you up on that one weekend Its weekends I'm in Richmond & some "expert tuition" may be what we need.

[The Caching Blues]

At the moment I’m just not having any luck or fun with caching. The last 6 times I’ve been out caching I have found nothing. The last four of those times I’ve been too despondent about to log as dnfs as they had ALL been found within recent days & I felt so stupid as to not find any of them - especially when the (recent, within a couple days) logs state “Found easily, no problem at all” or “the dog found it” (ok a slight exaggeration but you know what I mean) just to make me feel that little bit smaller and useless. Jeff has even enquired as to whether the GPS is dodgy, but I know its not as the last successful cache we did was absolutely spot on. Each time we’ve not left a stone, fallen log or leaf unturned but came up with nothing.

 

The worst thing is I have a TB to check in that I have brought on all 6 failed caching attempts. I suppose I could put it in a cache that I already know the location of but I really wanted to move it from Somerset, where I picked it up, to London (where I often cache in/around Richmond/West London though in particular it is the Richmond Park caches that have frustrated me more than once).

[County Geocoins]

Devon? Devon?? Whats Devon got that Somerset can't do better!

[Moote Rants #1]

My pockets are always stuffed with poobags before a caching trip, well nappy bags from the pound shop. I don't like to see huge steaming turds, especially when there are bins around.

 

Max has an annoying habit of choosing to poo when you are the furthest possible distance from any bin, though.

We all know what a GERR is surely

[Your Caching 2005]

Highs: Being introduced to Caching. To be honest every time you get the first glimpse of that plastic lid in the undergrowth its a high

 

Lows: The blisters I got on Kew Gardens Meridian after walking the 2km to it (and back) along the River Thames towpath from Richmond. I was unsuitibly dressed for caching as I'd been to a wedding & we had a couple hours to kill before the reception.

 

The two other wedding guests I'd dragged off for a "walk" were unimpressed and unsympathetic at my sore feet.

 

Let this be a lesson: even urban caching in heels is a bad idea.

[Off Topic..space Cadets]

The plane didn't take them to the cosmodrome - it took them to Volgograd as part of the journey. Even so - the tailwind must have been impressive! Did they have any way of telling the time? You could easily fly someoen for three and a half hours in the dark and tell them it was five and a half and no-one would notice.

They confiscated all watches/mobile phones before they got on the plane.

 

Edit: And presumably all GPS devices which surely would give the game away straight off.

[Cache Bash In Bath/bristol Area?]

Wouldn't reccomend parking in Bath any day. ugh.. There *is* a Park & Ride outside the city though.

[Off Topic..space Cadets]

I remember the Michael Aspel one it was so funny the other dippy Secretary here at work was completely taken in by it

[Off Topic..space Cadets]

I'm enjoying it because there is something really wrong about shattering people's dreams

 

Its believable in the fact that they've chosen contenstants who know absolutely nothing about space/aviation & i guess wouldn't notice a non-russian helicopter in the dark against a russian one.

 

The Russian "meeter & greeter" was unbelievably over the top though

[Most Common Name In Caching]

I'm a Kate & I like to think its at least uncommon..

[Bug Race]

Add me to the Girls' team please Mandy

[Women Geocaching Alone]

I like company but I don't mind caching alone.. Though it was creepy out this morning in the mist, I thought I was being watched. It turns out I was being watched. - other cachers waiting for me to vacate the area so they could replace the cache

[Stuey Reaches 900.]

Congrats Ozzy on leading your human to 900 caches!

[Cin Event 2005]

fantastic idea! I've put in my ticket 

Thanks.

 

I'm still wondering why you paid in Euro.

 

But at least it did let me find out that there was a problem with the Euro doante button adding €1,00 postage onto the amount (which I have refunded to you).

 

Alex.

It defaulted to Euro which I thought was odd, but presumed you'd set it up that way to include our continental neighbours. Thanks for the refund on the postage though
