Our furthest from home where the cache was already published before we left home is 35 miles / 50 mile drive.
My furthest from home where the cache was already published before I left home is 49.9 miles / 57 mile drive.

I would recommend the 'Silver Train' and 'Treasure Fleet' series (search for SLVTRN & TRFLT), two very nice walks leading to a very excellent bonus cache 'X Marks The Spot' (GC1DR7J)

Using Mapsource 6.15.6 and the map works a treat. Just needed to make sure the MapTK installed to C:\Garmin\MapTk, ran the install.bat, loaded Mapsource and the OSM was there in the drop down to be selected.
As my GPSr has room for the whole map (and I've been using it for several months now) haven't tried out the sending of a sub-set of the data.
Thanks for all your efforts

GC1XNYN - WWFM VI - Stratforde - Ye Inhabitede Islande in Stratford-upon-Avon has now been published - start practising your thespian skills.

Two ways I know you can find archived caches without knowing the GC number.
Find it on a public bookmark list that hasn't been kept up to date.
Search through a local cachers found list.

One of my caches has been 'selected' for Warwickshire, maybe because of it's proximity to Warwick Castle.
No idea about the competition until I read my weekly notification email this morning.
Have I been blessed or cursed?

The quick answer is to
1) enter the new way point into your GPSr in N/W format
2) change your GPSr into 'British Grid' mode from the setup menu
3) read off the grid ref from the waypoint previously entered and locate on OS map
4) reset GPSr back to Lat/Long mode

Until you have done the "pub sign" cache you won't know what areas are available.
The 38 (!) questions on that cache all appear to be "existing things", so they aren't preventing anyone placing a physical cache or multi stage within 0.1 mile of them.
What I meant was, there is a physical cache somewhere in the city centre, at the end of the 38 clues, which blocks out that area.

Im thinknig of the one in Jephsons Gardens....
As the two at Jephson Gardens are mine, I of course recommend them .
Do Spa Trek 1 & 2 first, then JGs, the Spa Trek 3

There's also What's in Your Gullet? in the Malverns, one find in 18 months.

It looks like the segment was recorded in July as the top two caches on the search page shown (GCW7N7 & GCW7N9) were archived on 30/07

Just done a quick count up of the 100+ ones I've done
55% inside station/in car park
45% outside the station
So it certainly is possible to hide them under the new rules.
Remember also there many caches near/on railway stations that are not part of the "SideTracked" series.
Motorway Mayhems are not on the junctions themselves, but nearby, the same applies here.

Is there a bookmark list for cycle-able cache series?

If there is a stile or kissing gate it is because it is footpath not a bridleway, therefore not for cyclists. A horse has great difficulty getting through a kissing gate.
