Oh go on then. We'll have one too. -
Nearest cache to Newcastle Docks
The Flying Boots replied to The Flying Boots's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Thank you very much Nediam Perfect. This is exactly the info we were looking for. -
We're sailing to Bergen in Norway at the end of April and would like to know where the Ferries sail from in Newcastle and if there's a cache close by that we could grab if there's time. Thanks in anticipation.

Ah yes. Those two. As they've not made it our way recently we'd forgotten them, but agree whole heartedly that their logs are highly amusing.

We love the logs that are long, descriptive and usually funny. The cachers that give us our best logs in this area are SidAndBob The Blorenges Valliant Knight Satellite Kid

Never mind the weather...
The Flying Boots replied to Rose_Thorn's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Had such a good days caching in the Welsh hills yesterday we didn't feel the need to go out in the rain today. -

The Flying Boots replied to Rose_Thorn's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
I bought a huge umbrella that's big enough to sit under whilst keeping contents of cache dry and signing log book. Walking to the cache wearing waterproof coat and overtrousers it gets used as a walking pole (great for poking into holes too) then only gets put up at the actual cache. Brilliant. Ditto! Nice to see you doing as your cacher name says Mrs FB at the Burrington Bash at the weekend, flying down the path from Burrington slopes cache! Ha ha Just one of 49 caching teams that flew down that steep hill from that particular cache last Saturday. It was so steep it was hard not to. Glad the rain held off for the rest of the days caches, I'd not taken the umbrella. -

The Flying Boots replied to mongoose39uk's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
One, if not both of us will be there and perhaps testing out the public transport system across the Severn Bridge for a change. -
How did you get into Caching?
The Flying Boots replied to Carlos & The Birdie Crew's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
I was just surfing around the internet and Yahoo brought up a page about what to do if you're bored and Geocaching was suggested. We already had a GPS and walked a lot so it just tied into a lot of things we were doing already. -
Muggle found our cache :-)
The Flying Boots replied to The Bolas Heathens's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Some Muggles found our Folly Coppet cache and have since gone on to become geocachers and found 8 more caches to date. -

'Bag a Trig Point'?
The Flying Boots replied to Midnight Ramblers's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
If like us, once you've cleared the immediate area from home of geocaches and it's taking longer journeys for a caching trip, you'll soon find trigpointing fun as something elso to do nearer to home. Trouble is we're now running out of geocaches and trigpoints and just venturing into Benchmarking. edited for spelling error -
South Wales 2007 event in advanced planning.
The Flying Boots replied to derrylynne's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Booked in today and looking forward to it very much. -
I've put all enigma code caches near us on our ignore list as I can't work out how to use the decoders in the first place

Cardiff Mid winter meeting.

We were hoping to make it but due to other (dancing) commitments can't now make it. Have a great time everyone anyway. -
UK counties on the main forum
The Flying Boots replied to markandlynn's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Ummmm Why? If I lived by the Severn Bridge I'd be keen to do caches in both England and Wales... I'm afraid I still don't understand the logic of this, except for the not wanting to include say South Wales caches when you live in North Devon... That said I see no problem in including a County so people have the option of using it if the wish to. We live just 1 mile as the crow flies just inside England near the Welsh border. We love our forays into Wales and would not want to exclude them from our PQ's. We also travel across the Severn Bridge for geocaching and for us it's a £10.40 return journey as we have a van that is considered a commercial vehicle. Usually we try to sweep up the east side of the Severn and come home via Gloucester thus avoiding the bridge toll. -
Cache Visit Notification Email Late
The Flying Boots replied to D_Skids's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
This is probably because the person who found it didn't log it at the time but logged it 8 days later and backdated the log when they wrote it.
