  1. Create a text file containing just the code I quoted above. Save the file in your GSAK macros folder (probably C:\Program Files\GSAK\Macros). To run the macro, first filter GSAK on the caches you want to appear in GE then choose Macro|Run and select the file you've just created. You can also attach the macro to a toolbar button, so making GE just a single click away. To do that, see GSAK help or ask at http://www.gsak.net/board/ Tried this - all it did was open GoogleEarth, and centre the UK on the screen. No zoom, no caches. When I zoomed I got every cache displayed, not the selection I had made in GSAK. Any thoughts? I tried it and it worked a treat. The latest one from the GSAK forum works, but you do have to turn off the KML selection in Google in order to avoid seeing all the caches! Yes of course. Thought that would have been obvious.
  2. Not when I use the "Ignore Thread" script in Firefox Didn't know there was a script but now I do I've used it and it works a treat. Have the choice to toggle on and off if necessary. Thanks Dino-irl for pointing this out.

  4. Yes you're wrong. We did two geocaches "Steganocache - GCN72P" and "St James Round the Bend - GCJC3B" on March 19th 2006 having both run in the Forest of Dean Half Marathon that morning. It all depends on how fit you are. In what way is Paul wrong? He's not saying that the cacher 'Alison Lapper' couldn't run a marathon, I think he is trying to discount that she isn't the artist? Now I could be wrong, but you are now the person to clear this up. Is it the artist or someone using the name to cache under? This person may well become famous of some sort, then many Scottish cachers can claim to know a famous person who caches. I thought he meant that she couldn't do a cache after having run a half marathon (assuming exhaustion) . She may well be famous I don't know?

  6. Excellent refreshments can be had at This Cache. Read all logs
  7. We've planned a trip to London this coming Saturday so please don't archive them this week.
  8. I'm new ro GSAK so can you explain how you did this?
  9. We did 2 caches on Christmas day, 889 meters up a very foggy freezing mountain, cycled 10 miles to 1 on a foggy Boxing Day and did 7 today. There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes
  10. In the search box in Google Earth write the co-ordinates in the format 00 00.000N 000 00.000W then click on the search icon to fly directly to that point.
  11. Best thing about winter is when you can do "Hold Your Nerve" - GCV8YC and as it has to be done in the dark you can start it's stage 2 at 5.00pm.
  12. Servers still down but the date is free for us at the moment.
  13. Cheltenham here I come. Mr F.B. needs our van on Saturday so my mode of transport for the day will be:-
  14. We would recommend GCVT26 - The Cats Back on the eastern edge of the Black Mountains. We used this one as our 100th find. It has some of the most spectacular views from the Cats Back Ridge and was our favourite walking route even before we discovered geocaching. Don't be put off by it being a multi. It's a very easy one. It's the view that is important here.
  15. Look at the Camper Van closely in this picture. Picture has been edited to remove the T.B. tracking number.
  16. How cute is that We remember you saying you were going to get one. Booboo is looking forward to meeting her.
  17. Best Free cup of tea at cache site I nominate The Blorenges
  18. Having a dog ourselves we are not normally wary of other dogs except for black labradors as Booboo has the scars from a little incident that was totally unprovoked by him . We don't like to be predjudiced against black labradors but I have found the odd rogue one here and there over the years. I would suggest you get a dog then other dogs will leave you alone and automatically go to sniff your own canine friend They're a great excuse to go out caching/walking.
  19. The nearest cache with a play on words to us is placed in a village called Sudbrook. The cache is called Sudbrooku and is a puzzle with a sudoku puzzle to solve.
  20. Found three micros in rural areas last weekend and if it wasn't for these I would have probably not bothered going to these three very interesting places.
  21. This is a great forum and one of the reasons I keep coming back to it is because it is so active and alive. I only post though if I feel I have something to say which is often not very much. I wish other forums sere as active as I've been trying to get a response from a totally unrelated subject elsewhwere. (Any Sequence Dancing Geocachers out there )
  22. It's a pity that on a normal weeknight 22.00 is too late as we're already in bed by then (early starts for us in the mornings) and tonight we're out.
  23. Mr F.B. is G6UXY and I (Mrs F.B.) am M3FTJ We mainly use 2 M just to chat to local friends and family. I will pick up when I hear anyone calling from SOTA though.
