dog-almighty

You're a top man, thanks. And thanks for the offer of multis etc. Even though I'm a dog walker and cover half the flippin' county on foot, it's not always practical to be caching at the same time Having said that, I'm back in the tetro region tomorrow so providing I remember my wellies and the dogs I'm walking don't take a shine to the sheep, I'll try to get the Finale ticked off. I'll have to wing it a bit though, it's not easy reading UV pen co-ords without a UV torch lol

Oh no, I feel awful. I really didn't want you to do that. And now I feel the pressure to come up with something uber impressive Gulp. Especially after your tetro series! Thanks v much. I feel really naff about this, I assume you were tipped off about this thread. I only wanted to know what happened re the river being in between!

Nice sleuthing No, really, I couldn't ask. I think asking someone to budge out of the way is a bit rude! I've emailed a Reviewer, it's in her hands now. If I get turned down I'll just have to find somewhere similar. *scuttles away with tail between legs* ... watch this space....

In answer to your Q's - this particular spot is the only 'ideal' spot I can think of because my planned cache will take some time (up to an hour possibly) to get into, so cachers will need a bit of shelter from the inclement British weather whilst they're solving it. The terrain will also make access pretty tricky making it an all-round high cache, finally, the cache could do to be away from the direct effects of the elements as it's not 100% waterproof (without storing inside another box, which would be fine I suppose). The river flows under a motorway bridge and the huge retaining boulders on the river banks provide some great hiding spots. I wouldn't be so cheeky as to ask the other CO to archive their cache! He's a big player in this area and has hidden nearly 400 caches for the rest of us to enjoy; this particular one is part of a series and is very popular because it's an easy find at the side of a easy access PF. I haven't had chance to speak to the Reviewer yet, I'll know more then, but I can't imagine anyone would be daft enough to get the 2 caches muddled up, or try to cross the raging river, or climb across the under side scaffold of the M'way bridge (although we tried that many times as kids!) Some interesting stuff about saturation on this thread incidentally. As a newbie to laying caches, I've got to say that in a saturated county, it's hard not to tread on peoples' toes. I've got a couple of dozen planned out and I'm wondering how many will be rejected, especially when there may be multi-caches knocking around that I haven't found yet.

California? I wish! I must have logged the wrong cache there, thanks for pointing that out :-/ And thank you everyone for your help, I'll get onto it tomorrow.... and start planning a back up hiding place I've just been on a brilliant afternoon's caching, and it's really spurred me on to hide some quirky ones, which I'm hoping this one will be Thanks muchly

Thank you. I suspected as much, but I'll give it a go with the reviewer, maybe it won't be the definative nail in the coffin that I'm expecting! Please could you give me a hint on how to find my local reviewer? (my website navigating abilities appear to have been washed away in the heavy rain)

I'd like to place a cache on the opposite bank of a river to an existing cache. As the crow flies, they would be approx 30m apart, but the only way to cross the river is via a bridge a few hundered meters away, meaning that the two caches would be quater of a mile apart, in access terms. Would this be allowed, or should I give up on that spot? (which incidentally is ideal and I may never find the equivalent, sniff!) Thanks

I always take my 3 (Border Collies) otherwise I wouldn't have the time to cache and dog walk as seperate events. I always choose caches that are on good off-road walks, and so far so good. I have to keep an eye on one of them though, she gets bored if we stand still too long and starts digging - she could easily ruin or draw attention to a GZ which wouldn't be fair on other cachers Perhaps when I run out of rural caches, I'll leave the woofs behind and try my hand at some urban ones
