If KandG change their minds we'll willingly place a quality cache for Warwickshire Oi! Booger off! The page is done, empty cache container in place (with "if found..." sheet), just with holidays, return to work -and working the weekend- and the car being off the road, we've not had the chance. This weekend is not a work weekend -unless there's a major incident in the county... So fingers crossed, watch that cache page! Offer noted, and I'll let you know, along with PuP, if we can't do it! Drat - the first weekend I'll have been outside the county all weekend in ages! Now to find a computer I can check on, and hope that it doesn't get published until Sunday afternoon / evening ;-)

No - this isn't an FTF nut you've found. There are plenty of them, and being an FTF nut does not make them a rude foulmouted boor. This is a rude obnoxious brat, without the social skills to be permitted out in public.

Surely, it's up to the person (or people) who sets a cache whether they archive it? By archiving, they've opened up the locations for other people to set their own caches.

For information, for those that don't know, these are mainly Staffordshire.

Not a problem, vanilla trad it shall be. I don't believe it! Last night I sat down with maps & google to find a spot. Today I found 'they' put an FMD temporary exclusion area over it.

Nick, I think all county LQ caches are meant to be Traditionals, see first post......... H That didn't make it to the LQ web page, as far as I can see, just the requirement to be small or larger - but it might solve the problem to save this awkward cache for one of my own, and set the LQ quest somewhere else.

Self-prod for LQ: West Midlands. Since I built the cache to hide, and worked out how to set the puzzle, it's become clear that the location of the first part of the cache may be disrupted by a road-building plan next year. I've decided to set the cache as is, and work out a fall-back set of clues to the second part in case the first location becomes inaccessible.

Alas, it seems Signal cannot be contacted through the website.

West Midlands plotted and prepared, and on the web waiting to be ticked - just need to finish sorting out the cache container and contents.

: drama : without the spaces

As you say, that's very presumptuous on several levels. And sometimes there's no choice: alternative cache idea unlikely to be visited by those cachers who secretly prefer Morris dancing. Obviously there are exceptions, but we are talking generally here. Really? Talking generally then, I would say there's something very sad about people who want to tell other people how they may or may not enjoy their hobby. I would say there's something very sad about people who presume how and why every cache setter has set their caches. I would say there's something very sad about people who haven't noticed that if the 'FTF sharks' they despise so much fail to go out first and find a cache, the next person who does so, is, by their own categorisation. an FTF shark. It's a hobby. It has guidelines as to what we can and can't do in it. If you don't like they way other people enjoy it within those rules, it's time to find a more solitary hobby, where the rest of the real world don't offend you. </rant> Three pages on - and all we have reached is the blindingly obvious realisation that some people enjoy their hobby in different ways from others, and that some people always like to whinge.

OMG, then people would actually have to input co-ordinates with their fingers!! I'm one of the regular FTF-chasers around my area, and put in all my co-ordinates by hand.

Edit Profile - http://www.geocaching.com/my/details.aspx - should help.

No. It's just a heading - under which, if you log a "I plan to attend" log against an event cache, the details of that event will usually appear.

I'll say. This thread has reminded me to chase up a discussion I was having with Coventry Council on the matter. On checking, I discovered that my first request to them was made a year ago yesterday. No one has said no, so I'm chasing it up again. Having chased it up, copied to both the person I'd first contacted, and with the person she'd passed it on to, I got the following response this morning... "My apologies I thought I had responded. We would not have any issue with your venture on the basis that the "geocaching" activity does not result in any physical damage to Council property or present any risk to public health and safety." That's from the Community Parks Service Manager of my local council. so I'd call that a yes.

Happy to do West Midlands

I'll be looking to buy two please.

Calculated

Yes

I can cover Warwickshire, or, if we're going to a unitary authority level, Coventry.

Dropping it in means that people will know it's there. You can still keep in physically with you, and will need to retrieve it from the event afterwards. People can discover it, whichever you do. Please make sure you do - people eventually archive event caches, and one of the nuisances is coins (or bugs) left against the event, but physically taken away at the end.
