Beware of rule creep! I appreciate Dave's post / reasoning, but am generally against any extra rules, before you know it there's lots and lots of them which in principle are individually probably a good idea, but taken collectively, it's an ever-increasing tide. Wonder what the Highways Agency think of magnetic caches on road signs, for instance?

Or archive and then ask a friendly reviewer to unarchive later?

Most Smartphones use Quick Fix (or similar) which means that they get a loose location off phone masts, before getting a super accuracte fix from GPS satellites. Getting a phone mast fix uses a smidgen of data. Getting a satellite fix doesn't. If you don't have a data plan then turning off Quick Fix is wise. You'll have no loss of accuracy... you just might have to wait a couple of minutes rather than 15 seconds to get a fix. If you DO have a data plan then the amount needed to get a satellite fix is negligible so leave it switched on. Orange are pretty good if you phone 'em up and tell 'em you need a small data allowance, they're pretty good with v reasonably priced "bundles" / package tweaks.

Maxkim has some nice caches just north of Headingley which I greatly enjoyed

I normally put a small kitten in my caches, and find that when the kitten is thirsty, it will lap up any water in the container

Nice to meet you both some time back at the White Crow in Chorley, welcome back... and Dottie's Delight is still one of my all time fav caches

Piratemania 2008 - 25-27/Jul. Pindale Farm, Hope. 150 attendees. Piratemania 2009 - 24-26/Jul. Rivendale, nr. Ashbourne. 230 attendees. Piratemania 2010 - 23-25/Jul.

As ever, the weekend nearest the 23rd July - so for year 4 this is the 23rd and 24th July (Fri/Sat, leading into Sunday 25th July). Just posting advance notice so that people can book their holidays now - I know that some in the public sector need nearly a years notice http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/vi...?v=393361066555 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=414973139397 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=411887431105 ARRRR!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on the list with 155, Mandy, but have actually hidden 236 (and that's what my profile shows). However, the list here shows just ACTIVE caches, which makes sense I guess

No - it's still there - it's just gone PMO. http://coord.info/GCHPHP

Economies of scale normally brings costs down

And the 600+ WWW's http://coord.info/GC2A26R But the LQ is the big multi (t'others are Trads or LBH's)

I'm surprised that there's such upset at these harmless little gifts I like 'em!

Someone's done 'em... first completion!

GARR!! Just over a week now, an' it's already the biggest Piratemania yet by fARRRRRR!!!!! Hundreds and hundreds confirmed to attend already... only 9 more sleeps! If yer even thinkin' about comin', get a WILL ATTEND logged on the event page.... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC2509R That's GC2509... ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Completely agree. Now, trails on the moors = bliss Proper moors caching = isolation, wildlife, views, no muggles, no farm dogs, and generally there's lots and lots to see from wooded valleys to open plains to peat bogs to waterfalls etc etc.

Snowdonia is absolutely AWESOME and there's an event there too - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...f5-2d3b90870f96 There's a couple of other events over the weekend incorporating summit meets as well. Really really looking forward to this one, absolutely stunning area.

Tongue only slightly in cheek About Footpath Fever We have Motorway Mayhem. We have A-Road Anarchy, and we have SideTracked. But what about people who like to get away from it all, and find a decent sized box that requires a short walk? Footpath Fever started at Charnock Richard in Lancashire. It may take a while to get started, but like the other series, it's expected to spread across the country! If hiding one PLEASE BE SENSIBLE and remember that in this day and age, seeing something "off the beaten track" may come as a suprise to townie folk. If you see a field full of ruminating ungulates, don't worry, you've not inadvertantly wandered into a zoo - these animals are in fact COWS and SHEEP and can be watched for free! The first one is listed, have you got any Footpath Fever caches you'd like to hide, or perhaps you could edit your existing cache listings so that they start off "Footpath Fever - Name" and spread the word I'll bookmark as appropriate. Who'd've thought it - cache boxes in rural locations

Trust Pete to get a rise...

There's quite a bit of generally undulating terrain - check out the contours, which are pretty true on the ground. TBH as rural & accessible caching goes - it's pretty good. I say do it.
