This was a visitor we had at the Halloween event at GC3QPNT Haunted Hill with TM & m&lb
this was one of the most fun caches that I have completed.
GC3HW03 Llanmerewig Loop 11 (Duck Pond)

Anybody would think it had been raining
You want to come to North Wales and try some of our caches that are on higher ground
Try the Bala area there are some good caches and series here
-
Lots of earth from setting out a new series of caches for a Halloween event
This is a picture I took, at “Pistyll Rhaeadr”
an earth cache in North Wales

I have had a series of 12 caches + a bonus, out in the Bala area of north Wales, they were published in April 2012 and have already amassed 80+ favourite points. The GC code for the first in the series is GC3FQY4

Personally I wouldn't want to see the cache names, unless it was an option. Given that cache names can be a single character, or a very long string it could be very messy when printed out with names overlapping all over the place.
As an option would be a better idea

Well, the good news is nothing seems to be broken.
But I have failed to figure out how to turn on the new stuff. E.g. I can't see any cache IDs on the map, no matter where I click.
I'm not very good at puzzle caches either..
I'd love to have the cache IDs... today I manually write them on the maps!
I had the same problem at first
You need to click on the “i” icon on the bottom left of the map (turning it blue), then left click on the map, next click on show labels
Hope this helps

I have just tried the new version (v0.6.1), it took me a few minutes to figure out that you needed to right left click to bring up the menu. But once I had discovered that the new improvement is great thanks for all your hard work
Just one thing, is it possible to get the cache name rather than the GC number
I appreciate all the work that has gone into the script and I don’t know how much work this request would involve
Thanks again for the work so far

It could be self-seeded hemp blown in from a farm some miles away.
Not in plastic pots with a water supply

lol it cant be in England far too cold I would think!
Found on the north Wales coast

Coordinates please.
I'll deal with the situation in a professional manner.
There had to be one

Thanks to all who have replied
I will e-mail the cache owner, to advise him of the current situation, and leave it up to him if he archive the cache for the time being

While attempting a 4.5 difficulty rated cache a few days ago, which entailed battling through dense undergrowth, of brambles, thorny trees and nettles, I came across at least 12 cannabis plants being cultivated in a small clearing.
My questions are,
1. What would you do if you came across them?
2. What should I do?
-
I can see why it scares little ones!!
Just thought I'd pop a few photos of my 'A-maze-ing Cache'...I got the idea from a previous post, it's just my take on it
Nice to see that my idea has inspired other people to make caches with a difference
May I make one observation? It may be worth covering the exit, so that the nano is not dropped on the floor and possibly lost during the shaking proses. This happened to me a few times while I had friends testing it before it went live.
Good luck with you cache

A new cache that I am about to be deployed
The wood block, with the cache inside, is dropped into the top of the pipe, which will be secured to a fence post.
Using the holes drilled into the pipe, you work the block up the pipe, using the screwdrivers provided
Wood swells when wet. Make sure you have enough clearance to compensate for it swelling after weeks/months of rain/snow etc. Maybe a resin or pvc container would be better? Submerge the plug in water for a couple weeks and see if it still fits
there is a lot of clearance for the wood to swell

Cool, looks like one Sven made. (I think the one he posted on YouTube was his)
Where do you think I got the idea?

The owner has marked this TB as missing on 20/10/2011
So I think he/she will be very happy that it has reappeared
I suggest that you log it as found and right where you found it in the log
Then you can send it on its way to a new cache

I found this TB In a cache a few weeks ago TB3MAY5
As the Easter bunny TB has not moved for over six months, I thought he would appreciate a short stay at my pub, to enjoy a few bears.
Before I moved him on

please posted your reply in the Discussions - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's) thread.

may I copy it? I love the idea and I got few of the stuffs I need. I got another idea that will be harder.
Sure. Why not?
I think anybody can copy all the idea in this forum.
In my case, it's an honor if somebody use my idea.
Patent pending
All copies will be licence for a fee
Just kidding

Probably not any use to you now but
If your cache is a preamium members only cache
You get a audit log of who has looked at the cache
This is a Premium Member Only cache.
Read the audit log (see who viewed your cache)

Seeing as there aren’t many entrees this month,
I will post this picture of me, on a caching trip in January this year,
GC1ER02 The hidden valley - Ty-coch
the trip was MUD, MUD, MUD

Not depoloyed yet, but I am preparing maze related cache. Some part of idea came from martinbryn (#5111). Thanks him for great idea.
At first visitors solve following maze, and calculate final coordinate.
At the final coordinate, they can see following container.
Seems like normal lock&lock box, but open it then :
The logsheet is in nano capsule, which is put into the maze upper right. It can be out at lower left hall, upper right hall is so tight that it can't go out.
However, as you can see, the maze is too simple, so anybody can get it within 1 minute.
So I think another option like following. The visitors can hardly see through it, so it can be difficult to take out.
======
So what do you think the best out of following 3 options?
1. transparent
2. white
3. white with hint (layout)
I am soory that my English is not good, but your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi
I like your idea and I am glad you used my idea for inspiration.
My Cache has gone live
Its amazing | GC3AH23
The cache is going down well so far, taking people about 5 minutes to solve the maze once found
As you can see from the pictures of mine in this thread you cannot see into the maze and you do not get a clue as to the layout
Looking at yours, the path to the end is not too complicated and should be easily solved without being able to see the path.
If you can see or have a plan of the maze then it will take a matter of seconds to complete
Which for me would make the effort of making it, and the effort of going to find it, disappointing.
I found a good way to test my maze, was to give it to friends and ask them to solve it, before it went out in the field , If they can solve it, then it can be done in the field

Perfect just the link I was looking for
Thank you
First Geocoin found, confused.
in How do I...?
Posted
The number on the coin is a unique number for the purpose of logging the coin when you have found it
The TB number is the number that is used when you wish to track the coins movements and is not logable
