  6. do you have any 12-12-12 coins left please? If so, which ones? we don't have one for our 9 year old son. They ran out of them where we purchased our others from. Can you send me a pm via Geocaching.com if you have any left please? Many thanks Cache on Wheels
  7. I know Groundspeak already have the check list for the cache owner to rate the cache they are setting, and the items to select on handicaching.com are more descriptive. Should Groundspeak be looking at intergrating these options into rating the caches as essential by cache owners when setting caches or pairing up with handicaching.com? I read a comment somewhere on here but can't find it about a problem with linking with handicaching due to bandwidth??? What are Groundspeak willing to do to help provide more info on caches for disabled Cachers please? eg a more detailed description of the terrain as is already set out on handicaching.com that cache owners must select one option from each catagory when setting out a cache. I personally and it appears all previous comments have no problem with clicking on the link to handicaching from the cache page for more detailed info, just as you would click on the hint button. However, I am aware that some feel that having to move to another site for this extra info causes a divide.
  8. There was a cache that had been disabled for a while that a friend wanted to get as part of a challenge cache. He simply emailed the CO to let them know this and asked if there was anything he could do to help to get the cache back on line. The CO was very grateful as all it needed was a new log sheet, but the CO was away on business. I think it is very easy to send an email to either the CO or the reviewer whom published the cache to express any concerns. Like someone mentioned above, things in our lives sometimes take far more priority than Geocaching. My thoughts in summary: by dropping a friendly brief email to a CO could solve the problem easily as I outlined above. Then if you have no response, contact the reviewer who published the cache and let them know what efforts you've made to contact the CO or help rectify the problem
  9. Thank you so much, I have tried this and have been able to successfully upload a photo to a TB page. I can now save my caches as field notes if I want and add the photos to the logs in a wifi area and Add photos when logging a TB on the site via safari thank you A Team
  10. Sorry, but really ? You would not go caching in another country simply because you didn't get a GC.com souvenir ? Really ? Wow. just...wow. I like the idea of souvenirs and all, but to not go caching simply because you wouldn't get a souvenir ? Well, whatever floats your boat I guess. Even though we would not get a souvenir for Denmark, we still wanted to get a few caches there. It may well have been out only chance. It was this aim that resulted in us spending a couple of days in Denmark and visiting Lego land: I'm so pleased we did as we have some fantastic memories.
  11. I am unaware if the amount of work that goes into making the souvenirs available once the artwork has been created. Or the process of creating the artwork. As for creating the artwork for counties in the UK as we are such a small country compared to most, what about some sort of competition where Cachers who 'live' in the county could create the artwork? Eg you would have to live in Dorset to enter artwork for a Dorset souvenir etc Do you think that would be possible? - just a thought.
  12. We tools trip to stay with family in Germany this Sumer: we collected souvenirs in each district we cached in - amazing ones too. We were disappointed though that there were no souvenirs for Denmark, Holland, Belguim or France that we also cached in whilst on our holiday. 1- Could Groundspeak let us know why some places have them and some don't please? 2- If they did get released, would we be able to get them automatically, retrospectively, as we had already cached there? If that makes sense at all [] It is a great way to celebrate each county or district in their own right. In the UK we have counties which are very much smaller than those on Germany. We just happened to stay In one of the largest districts in Germany [] niedersachsen is especially a beautiful souvenir [] thank you to the people who illustrated them []
  13. I also think this is a great idea and have suggested this when I did a review of the App. And as you are unable for whatever reason to 'upload a photo' when logged on to the website via your smartphone, the only way is to plug into your computer as you say. It would be great If Groundspeak would consider this idea please. Can anyone answer the questions: 1- is it 'possible' to add the feature to upload a photo when logging a TB via the App, 2- And when logged on to the website via your smartphone? 3- is there a simple technical reason why this is not possible that we are not aware of. [] Great that we can upload photos whilst logging caches tho: thank you Groundspeak []
  14. I have been on the lookout for a horse coin for some time now but can't find anything. Do any of you know of any coins or trackables related to horses for our daughter aka Horsey Mad Girl please? Thank you
  15. I have an extra one of these - the gold version. You can send me a message through my profile if interested. I am looking forward to receiving the coin Azure, I will let you know when it arrives: thank you so much []
  16. Wanted: Keep chasing your dreams Geocoin DorsetGal & Geodog 2012 Is there anyone who has one of these special geocoins I could buy please??? From the moment I met Wendy she has been an inspiration to me, given me support and encouraged me to get out caching on my mobility scooter and become a good friend. I wasn't well enough to go with my hubby and fellow Cachers to watch Wendy or Karen carrying the torch live. I did meet them both the next day at an event they organised. Our children loved seeing and holding the torches too: thanks Wendy and Karen. I was really disappointed not to get one of her coins. If you are able to help, please MSG me or reply. Many thanks and happy caching []
  17. Wow Sarah!! That's fantastic news: celebration at the Wiltshire event perhaps?? Well done! Can you give me some tips please? Heather
  18. A belated CONGRATULATIONS!! To you and all others completing this challenge: That's a huge achievement! []
  19. I think this is a great idea - can you do a 'Thank you' one to in recognition of those who have helped us in some way please?
  20. It is great to see that many cache owners are displaying the link on the description part of the cache page. How do Groundspeak feel about creating a linking their GC.com site as an OPTIONAL for cache owners and cache finders to click on to do a more in depth review of the caches placed and found to handicaching.com ???
  21. Are you familiar with handicaching.com??? Do you know if it is possible to edit a previous review tgat you submitted? It would be great if you could so only 1 review would have shown up for Hardye way 1 GC2XX09 instead of me having to write a second review. Many thanks Heather
  22. THANK YOU TO Groundspeak If you recall in my opening proposal for this forum, one of the things I asked Groundspeak if they could do was to make it possible for the GC code to be available in the link info upon clicking on the code at the top right of each GC profile page. This would make it easier to copy and paste the Gc code into the box provided on the handicaching.com page when you want to review either your own cache or one you have visited. Groundspeak have now done this. When you click on the GC code at the right of a GC profile page, you now get the following: http://coord.info/GC2XX09 This link is for my husbands GC Hardye Way 1. If you enter GC2XX09 and search it, you should see a note by me with code written in blue underneath. Click on it to see the handicaching review I wrote, there should be 2 reviews on it now so you should also see a previous review I wrote on it. When you review a cache, I would Recomend you write a note to the cache owner and ask them to click on the link, if they like it, ask them if they could copy and paste the link that comes up on the handicaching review into their profile page at the end of the description. I have asked my husband to do this too. When it is done, I will post Tge GC code again so you can see what it looks like. Thanks again Groundspeak!! Heather
  23. I would say definitely yes to that. A good thing to do is ask at your local church if they know someone who could do with some help getting out and about occasionally and take them for a walk GC. That way you are helping someone who may not get out much as well as learning more at the same time. I think after this thread there should be one sharing stories on disabled cachers stories. My friend is in a wheelchair and age has been able to retrieve some GC on her bum. look up DorsetGal and Geodog.
