  1. Problem solved in one reply Thanks so much
  2. I have d/l a very easy html editor, and now can "write" better cache pages, well at least, bold, italic and line breaks. I would like to know if and how I can transfer these masterpieces to the long listing. Currently I'm inserting all the html stuff again, and trespassing on the time limit. I have looked at the html faq here, it bears little relation to what I do.Sorry it's that there's a lot of "odd" stuff on it. I have searched "html" and not unreasonably it is not searchable. Assistance please?
  3. In my dotage I am guilty of scew ups with puzzle clues and co-ords, even starting co-ords. Having few cachers here they are very forgiving, and the reviewer must be the "nicest" person ever. Seeing how quick forum contributors are to "jump in and on", have you suffered great wrath, and/or been the perpetrator/victim of such blunders.?
  4. don't fret i'll be there one day! i wonder if a thread like this will ever get a sensible reply!! I hope not.
  5. Without "outing" anyone, are there any exalted cachers, Royalty, Movies,Sport. Politics etc. ? Just a few hints..encrypted if u like.
  6. I have to cache alone by pushbike and foot 'cos even at seventy there's no-one can keep up. One guy came and I waited forever while he took off his socks and shoes to wade a stream
  7. As I always cache alone, One Find = One Log. KISS
  8. Never having been to a geocacher's gathering, I will be projecting here, but I feel that that the Frauds may as well have "Fraud" tattooed on their foreheads. In any gathering one can generally seperate the wheat from the chaff. Sort of like the whale who only gets harpooned when it comes up to spout. Seems they are conspicuous by their absence on these forums..well that's good.
  9. I think it's 36*35*34*33,,whatever that is in exponential
  10. I've bounced my Garmin heavily 3 times, the belt clip is useless. But it survived without a scratch, dunno about the insides, compass always seems flaky.
  11. Sincerest thanks to all you kind people for your suggestions and the depth of your advice. There is so much info to consider, I'd like to close this topic, but can anyone advise how all the threads can be saved.? I would like to email everyone personally but.......????, Anyway I will keep you informed on future moves.
  12. fer cryin' out loud, please knock this on the 'ead, I know i don't have to read it, but it don't belong 'ere.
  13. How/when did homosexual behaviour be called "gay" . This is not a troll, a genuine enquiry.
  14. Many packs are water resistant, but not waterproof, particularly those used for overnite trips. There are some totally waterproof packs. I think its Arc'teryx that makes one that is totally waterproof (it uses a canoe drybag style roll top closure) and most of the Arc'teryx line is water highly water resistant. So he was right ! , the exception proving the rule. Then it is necessary to bag everything inside. Is there any reason they are only made water resistant?
  15. Bill Bryson in his "Walk in the Woods" is amazed to find that all backpacks are NOT waterproof,is this true or was this poetic licence? I want a shopping basket on my bike, multi-bucks Cannondale, but the shop refuses to fit one.
  16. As soon as one hole is plugged another appears, this thread will surely degenerate into another long running "To Count or Not To Count" and the variations thereof.
  17. I have Garmin 60CS and the bike mount. There's no room to fit the mount, and it must be horizontal for the compass to work. I've bought a Glisson case with velcro and trying to figure to stick on front bag. I'd rather use the mount so probably have to make an ugly extender.
  18. doss house..A very cheap lodging-house for homeless people to try and define my Utopia a bit more..as far from "civilisaton" as possible, not meaning lacking any amenity, but as unspoilt, least changed as possible. I guess like rural Ireland..dream on you say !!!
  19. Looks like Texas out in front just now, but I'm sure /hope there will be more suggestions. Probably going to be the bane of Western Civilisation, the dilemna of choice. Have to modify my "Diceman" program, (Luke Reinhardt), made for a guy who went for lunch to the same place every day for nearly 15 years,he still goes there. Ref. NJ. while on a course in USA Mid-West, was introduced to group as "Jarn, he's from the Far East". "You outta Noi Joisey" I was asked.
  20. ALL Blacks "Hakka" Treorchy Male Voice Choir "Men of Harlech" Andrea Bocelli Aled Jones Meat Loaf Roy Orbison "Pretty Woman"
  21. The OP tried to get it terminated, but as people seem determined to flail around the topic and enjoy doing so, I guess he thought he'd "help"
  22. I'm green with envy seeing the number and ingenuity of the caches in USA, doubly so reading the logs. So, on 3 month visit, using pushbike as much as possible, living on bread and cheese and a beer or two, accustomed to sleeping in doss houses, no foul weather gear, generally boracic (cockney slang), which State is closest to my Utopia ?
  23. You Guys/Gals certainly get my vote..Is there any limit to the ingenuity and imagination of GeoCachers?
  24. There are no useful terrain maps where I cache, and no maps available to buy for GPSr. The result is I bashed away thro jungle, up hill and down dale, forded watercourses and confronted wild beasts, all so I can challenge the ex special forces who fill the bars here. Forgot to say I carry my Cannondale most of the way. Reaching a point that provides good caching I about turn and hack back, ready to log a 1/5. Checking on GE I discover to my horror that a road/trail is within half kilometre of the cache. I am too disorganised to plan a cache, but I now have to go back and make it a multi cache to keep them honest and uphold my reputation.
