  1. We often pretend to be Dogging just to blend in with the others in a car park to avoid suspicion!! Joking aside, I initially thought the OP had a good point as people park up for many reason's including; to use their mobile, programme their Sat Nav, eat their lunch, get out of the office at lunch time or take a rest, but I'm starting to think there was more to it after reading these conflicting quotes:
  2. In the UK Trespass is illegal under civil law but not criminal law, having said that I wouldn't ignore the signs and get a cache. I also doubt that land owner's would give permission for a cache to be placed on their land if they'd gone to the trouble of placing "NO TRESPASSING" signs for 1/4 of a mile!
  3. The sad thing is, some adult's do this kind of thing not just kids.
  4. I do think Nano's have there place, in cities or towns for example, taking you to interesting building's or park's, but yes, it's such a joy to get out in to the countryside and find some decent size caches with nice big logbooks!
  5. Does anyone else hate it when people take up lots of space on a nano log sheet when your initials are all thats required? This not only leaves no space for anyone else but forces CO's to visit their caches more regulary than expected to keep changing the log. I see it as selfish and only use one little slot on the log and only initial if there is only a small slot or initial and date if there is room. It's nice to read peoples comments where the size of log book allows but if it's just a sheet STAY IN YOUR OWN SLOT! Rant Over!
  6. I looked at a cache the other day that had been reported for having 3 plastic bags around it! The reviewer disabled it until the CO or a finder removed bags. Of course, people could still find this cache has it wasn't muggled but at least the reviewers listen to such complaints.
  7. I am a beginner at geocaching and have been doing it for only a few months with my partner. The caches we find are in urban area's and tend to be the usual magnetic nana, 35mm film case type and click lock boxes. Yesterday I decided to search for 'unusual cache containers' just to get an idea of what kind of thing to look out for whilst caching when I came upon Sven's You Tube channel and started watching some of his video's. I thought they were fantastic and really enjoyed seeing the inventive ways caches are hidden, way more exciting than the caches we have found! It's really opened my eyes. Sven does state on his channel where he is from and so if you are likely to come across these caches, don't watch the video's - simple! How can you moan about them being spoilers for you but still watch them? I feel that Svens videos will help beginners become better cachers, both at spotting tell tale signs and finding caches and also when it comes to hiding their own caches. Sven is obviously a dedicated and serious cacher and would never do anything to spoil anyone's fun, but rather to educate people and show how rewarding it can be to find these clever caches. Remember not all of us have found thousands of different caches all over the world! Some of us genuinely want to learn as much as we can and what to expect from caches. He should not be banned, if people want to 'cheat' to find caches that is no fault of Svens, I have seen in logs people ringing other cachers to 'get help' finding a cache, yet that is fine? There have also been photographs and logs that give away alot of information. These Videos are a log of Svens favourite finds as well as his own hides and are really great to see.
