Mourneman

Yeah mate cheers,can see it now as I'am back on the iMac,the iPad are good but some of the display features are limited,thanks

Thanks guys for all the advice,when is the next mikeshake event,be good to get some advice from others

I know that there are many geocachers not too far from you, and suggest Geocaching Ireland is the place to go for introductions. Looks like you have a lovely region to explore, and although I've seen the Mournes many hundreds of times I've never had the opportunity to visit. Perhaps next year. Many thanks for the advice,I joined geocaching Ireland ,so sure I'll hear back from them,the mournes are indeed a super range of mountains,many thanks once again

Hi folk Sorta new to this caching lark,but must say it's really great fun,I love hiking and caching combines it with a sense of adventure,just wanted to know if there is any fellow cachers in the co.down,northern Ireland area,advise would be super ,thanks

Why what was said to you ?I've found everyone very friendly on here even after I've made mistakes with others bugs & coins,even if someone did insult or complain about me I would not let it affect my life,mate if I can help just let me know!

tryed doing this but the option upload a photo does does not exist when logging a coin or bug,or maybe i just find it,anybody help out there?

Thanks very much about the heads up about blanking out the track codes,also about your comments,if you like Irish photography google my name,(John surginor) will show you a website called artist rising,I have a portfolio of my landscape photos,if that's your thing

sorry to post yet another muggle question ,but up until last night i never logged my bugs right,so after some much needed advce from you guys i got it sorted,my new question is uploading a photo to a bug or coin seems different ,i've tryed going into edit log ,then upload image but it's not there,is it just me being daft again?thanks again folks mourneman

Hi I'am also new to this geocaching lark,so I'll tell you the mistake I made,I took and moved on bugs & coins without logging that I had grabbed them or that I had moved the on,this was kindly corrected by a cachet above( thank you ) about how to do this using a code on the coin or bug, good luck

thanks so much for all the helpful advice,what a really nice hobby this is indeed,it's got everything i enjoy,the great outdoors,treasure hunting and boys toys,once again thank you so much,can't wait to get back out there again,i will keep reading over until it sinks in

OK. Step #1 accomplished - It now shows as being "in your hands"... Now you need to show that it's been dropped off into the Slieve Binnian cache... Go back to your Found It log on the SB cache, underneath your log click on "Edit log"... then you get a page with your log on it... Just above it click on "Edit log" again... Now you have your Comments box with your log in it and, underneath, you'll see "Dropped off any trackables?" Next to the geocoin name, select the action from the drop-down box - "Dropped off" Then (at the bottom) click "Submit Log Entry". This will drop off the geocoin into the Inventory on the SB cache page to show everyone it's there. It usually takes maybe a couple of minutes for the log magic to occur - You can then go back to the Slieve Binnian cache to check it's all worked OK. think i got it done ok,i've dropped in in slieve binnian cache and there's only been one visit since i was there,can you check if i've done this,ps many many thanks for guiding me through this MrsB

ok guys,thanks for all the advice so far,i've managed to log the geocoin from downtime as grabbed from downtime,now how do i log where i put it?ps you's guys are great!

Hi thanks for replying ,I, took several photo,s of the coin ,where would the tracking code be?I've also contacted the owner asking for help,"what a plonker I am Hi By any chance, do you have a note anywhere of the tracking number of the geocoin? If you do then we can help you do the correct logging i.e. retrieving it from the Downtime cache and logging it into the Slieve Binnian cache. If you don't then the best thing you can do is email the owner of the geocoin (through their profile name, on the geocoin's page). Explain that you have moved their coin into another cache but you weren't aware of the correct way to do the logging. Give them the GC number of the cache where you have placed it. Ask them if they could give you the tracking number of their coin so that you can make the move correctly. This is a lesson that most new geocachers learn at some point early on in the geocaching career: When you take any trackable item from a cache always make a note of its tracking number for future reference. If you have that vital tracking number then any hitches/confusions/mis-loggings can be resolved. MrsB

what can i do to fix this,sorry about this but i did lift the geocoin your talking about,but i moved it on to slieve binnian geocache in the mourne mountains,how do i fix this,i see the links you've attached ,i'll read over them & try to fix this,once again i'am sorry,that was my first geocache, oops mourneman

thanks piper!

]Hi Folks started geocaching a few months now,must say i think it's great.So was thinking of planting my first cache & was looking for some helpful tips about doing this.Most of the cache's i've found have been in the mountains & mostly always under rocks,can anyone help me with some idea's for cache's in a mountain area other than hiding under rock,also something other than a tuberware container,any idea's are most welcome,cheers guys

Many thank's guys ,I tried this method today,worked a treat,great advice from a super forum

A good quality compass,something from the silva range,a range of scaled maps,an iPad which for me is a super tool,which I use to save each cache's profile page before I go searching for it,gloves are a big must for those hard to reach places.

Basically I'm trying to covert latitude & longitude to grid reference on a scale of OS 125'000 so I can search for caches

Hi folk,started geocaching few months,must say i'am really enjoying it,great sense of adventure,anyway my question is this,I want to brush up on my map reading skills as well as using my trusted G.P.S,but i'am unclear about breaking down the normal British grid reference so I can use it on a 125,000 scale outdoor pursuits map,any help on this atter would be great guys

just stared this week myself already found a number of geocaches,the forums very helpful,i found this youtube video a great help

guys the penny has finally dropped thanks for all the kind helpful advice,six in the morning & i got it working,the main problem was someting to do with the degrees & decimal minutes(thanks bear & raged)right on the money!few hours sleep then out treasure hunting!

hi guys I'am using an etrex camo ,the old model,below is a link to the cache i'am trying to find http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=bb7ceba7-f811-4937-97f7-48b306bc2b1f

Hi folk can anyone please explain to me in muggle terms how to load coordernates into my gps,i mark the way-point, then hightlight it so i can change it,the first field to complete is SB; then it's BNG foe example i'am trying to find N54 19.637 by Ws43.309 but can't understand how to load these in as my garmin only allows five fields to be typed in for each part,so i can't add decimal point,not even sure if i should be adding any,please help folks i'am driving my wife crazy
