Yup. That would get you a bell dinging for thee.

Thank you very much. To continue the macabre theme, in what city was Archduke Franz Ferdinand killed in 1914?

Lizzie Borden rings a bit of a bell.

I'll have a guess at Richard Clayderman.

Can anyone say what the plan is where a cache has the non 24-7 attribute in place? Do they have to specify what times the cache will be accessible? Or general guidelines?

Isn't it nice of Chrome to be taking such good care of me? Heaven forbid I should just choose what software I want to run. Went to the tampermonkey install page and it came up saying that THAT had been disabled by Chrome, although with an option to just reenable it. Have now done that so we'll see what happens.

Are you running the script through Tampermonkey? I think so but will check.

Is anyone else having issues with Chrome disabling GME? I plug it in and it works fine, but then (normally after a restart of the PC) it shows up in Chrome's list of extensions as disabled. It's not difficult to save the script, remove the extension, and then reinstall, but I'd rather not have to do that. Anyone found a way around it?

Haiti would get you a ding. All yours.

Thank you. Tonton Macoute were an organisation in which country?

I'll have a guess using the word 'seen' and go for the list of decreasing size letters you may or may not see at the optician.

No idea really about the actual question as never seen the film, but are you looking for Alan Parsons?

Although you could get away with some of your stages being based on finding not a physical stage, but just some info. If 'Jupiter' was too close to another physical cache you could go with "on the sign at Jupiter, the third number from the top is X". The separation rules only apply to actual containers.

Just ebooks available or would book books also be on offer?

Fair enough, but look at it this way...if you know that there's going to be CnP logs like you mention and you know that they put the relevant cache information at the end, all you'd have to do is scroll to the end. Problem solved. Nope. As I said on my original post it's a major pain on some devices to scroll past a long swathe of text. Try borrowing an Oregon 450 from someone and give it a try.

We had one cacher a while ago who would copy and paste a long long log on every cache they logged. It wasn't even about the actual trip/day that they'd had but was more a long spiel explaining why they preferred long logs. At the end of the boilerplate text they tended to add something like 'Quick easy find. Thanks.' We went out one day to do a series and found to our horror that they had been there the previous day. I was fine after the 15 mile walk that day, but my thumbs took two weeks to recover from the amount of scrolling required to get at any logs previous to theirs. Question: if you're planning to C&P the 'overall day experience' then why not just put that in cache #1 and refer to that in each subsequent log?

We saw one recently kind of similar to the 'fill it with water' idea but no water required. Tube attached vertically and full of film pot size cylinders. You can pick the top one out and then push it up into the bottom of the tube. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat and the actual film pot with the log eventually gets to the top. Sign log and push film pot back into the bottom for the next finder.

'All this environmental stuff'? You mean the recognised fact that we're screwing the world?

Definitely plan a route using this wonderful app: http://geo.inge.org.uk/gme.htm#install

Sheesh. Do you think an 'Anally retentive' series would be good?

Is there anything that modern GPS devices do to accurately measure distance travelled? To clarify: I might have this wrong but, as far as I understand things, a GPS can only measure where it thinks it is each x seconds. On each of those reading there is going to be some inaccuracy. If you're walking down a straight track then that inaccuracy is going to mean that sometimes it thinks you're to the left of the track, sometimes to the right, and sometimes on. If the 'distance travelled' function just simply measures distance between those points then effectively it's going to be measuring your general route, but with a lot of zigzagging from one side to the other. That's going to lead to a measurement that is too high. Do devices have some adjustment built in to the software that takes account of that? Does that change depending on what device you have? Or I am I missing something obvious?

Yup. A geocacher's worst nightmare. A ding to YY.

Time to resurrect I think. What was unusual about the Bellman's map in 'The Hunting of the Snark'?

Sebastopol would get you a DING. All yours.

Thank you. Victoria Crosses are said to be made from the metal of cannons captured in which battle?
