  1. So, a Waymarker adds to this category, waits until it's accepted, then adds to the other categories... (Not that I would do that. )
  2. One of those things that 'rings a bell' for here in the UK. I've watched history programmes that have mentioned "Hanseatic" and have shown buildings from the period that are still in place/in use in the UK (not necessarily in use as was originally intended)... Not having seen them 'in person' I'm not sure if there is evidence on site to prove the fact. Like the idea, not sure how it will work. (I'm interested in the idea, lets see how it works out. Good Luck!)
  3. I like the fact it says CITY. And showing the skyline.
  4. I posted a Waymark. Later on a local cacher placed a multicache. Part of which was "Count the number of posts around..." None of my photos showed 'all' the posts in one photo, but the posts were regular enough to take an educated guess at how many there were. Thats how I solved the cache location... No one mention Waymarking when they found the cache. I dont think many cachers realize the answer may be in a Waymark posted at/near the location.
  5. Slightly Off Topic... Having had a look at the category, it would seem that those logging a Visit are failing to comply with the Visit instructions. Very few (if any!) add the co-ordinates of where their Photo Goal was achieved.
  6. Some categories require "Describe your experience" with no mention of having to take and/or submit a photograph, in order to claim a Visit to the Waymark...
  7. Topo isnt really a UK mapping option. The two suggestions above would be my recommendation too. Edit to add: Or, take a look at https://talkytoaster.me.uk/ for maps by a UK cacher.
  8. Have to say, in the UK, pub quizzes are rather 'seasonal' run by the pubs in the winter months to 'keep the takings up' and the locals entertained. OK, so they may raise funds for charities, but, out of 'season' how are you going to prove the establishment does quizes in order to Waymark it? And. Not all pubs take part every year...
  9. As an officer I edited the page to remove the visits. Still have the page sitting to have the edits approved though.
  10. Waymarker edited their own Waymark, as an officer I have had the Waymark return for approval... (Was a 'larger' edit)
  11. As an officer I take a quick look and usually accept the edits. I wonder if there is a % thing, that a small edit (spelling on a word or two) goes through without need to approve, but a higher % edit requires additional acceptance/approval? Wonder if there is a % what it is?!
  12. I dont need to edit the Waymark, it needs the edits to be approved by an officer... which I can't as the site wont let me!
  13. @Wayfrog ? As an officer I have 3 Waymarks requiring approval of edits... I cant seem to access the Waymarks/site to approve the edits.
  14. I'd love to accept the edits... but the site wont let me!
  15. With the right write-up, that would be accepted in Exact Replicas https://www.Waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=f59a7a20-2c6d-4b2b-8144-55c380702733&gid=6
  16. Check phone settings that you can download over data? Getting the caches to download at home might be on a wifi network.
  17. Whilst it is 'not the done thing' to accept (or decline! ) your own Waymark in a category, there are those of us that will accept the fact you are the only active officer, and there are those that will have an opposite opinion and protest the fact... (Especially if their Waymark is declined)
  18. https://en.unesco.org/global-geoparks/black-country https://blackcountrygeopark.dudley.gov.uk/bcg/
  19. Global Geoparks. Do you Waymark the Park, or a site within the park? If it any/all of the sites, naming convention will pay a big part in making sure there are no duplicates. Interesting Waymark idea!
  20. You have no hides on your account? Scan/photograph them, add them to the cache page gallery. (Or another site/page with a link) Some of the older/long standing caches can have some interesting stories in the log, that dont get written in the online log. If its a newer cache with only "TFTC/date/cachername" logs - Is it worth it?
