Hooray for MrsB! I also kissed a frog to see what it was all about. They probably aren't going to be our thing, but I really can't see what all the tantrums are in aid of. If you don't like them, then DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK! Some of the spoof challenges were initially funny, but now they are just spoiling it for others who want to do some serious ones.

Same here. At least then nobody will try to force unwanted rubbish down our throats for their own commercial ends. I've just completed one of the challenges just to see what the score was. It will more than likely be my first and last. Some will like them though and am I just being dim when I say - if they're not your cup of tea, just don't click on the Challenges link?

Whilst out cycling / caching a few years ago, I lost the skin from my right knee after forgetting to uncleet when I stopped next to a cache site.....

We just got a travel bug back that's gone round the world. The football season starts in just under a week. I've got a new Oregon 450T (well new to me anyway). My mountain bike has just been serviced and goes like the clappers. We've found an A.P.E. cache and Delta68 still has to go to Brazil to get his. Simple things and all that..........

Oh that is soooo sneaky ... I love it! Not that I would even think about fooling my other half .... but he didn't even notice that (after only 3 months of caching) my old GPS 60 turned into a Oregon 300 overnight. So I don't think I will have any problem turning my Oregon into a Montana! I'm on borrowed time. Ali notices everything eventually.... & Team Tisri - As I know everything on the internet is true - I'm just about to try that with our old 60Csx. My lawyers will give you a ring in about half an hour. IT WORKS!!!!! It's turned into an Oregon 450T!! Right, now to convince Ali.......

Not big and chunky, big and beautiful! You would indeed have a job getting it mounted on a bike though. Will get a chance to try it out for real this weekend. The screen is amazing and the extra information down the side is brilliant. Just a bit disappointed that I'm having a problem finding a car mount for it. They don't seem to have hit the UK yet. I shall rig it up on a universal mount and plug a mini speaker in instead though to get the sat nav features working for now. I do love my gadgets! I can tell you're regretting it all ready. Even walking along the road with it, you'll look like you're carrying a small portable tele!

Having seen the Montana at the MEGA, I think it's too big and chunky. I can't imagine it on the handle bars of my mountain bike. It doesn't support Wherigo and unless you're DrSolly - who really needs a 12k cache capacity? By the time you get round to doing them, the PQ's will be out of date anyway. There's nothing in the package at the moment that would tempt me to change from my Oregon. Plus it's easy to change from a 300 Oregon to a 450T without the person who put you on a gadget ban noticing. Claiming your Oregon grew overnight and changed name might be a bit more difficult to pull off.......

A very very nice man.

If you carry on just using the base maps you're not using your GPSr to it's full potential. Persevere. There are various step by step guides that will show you exactly how to do it. If you only use the base map, you've wasted your money to be honest and might just have well bought a cheaper one. Would you buy a Ferrari and just use it to give your mum a lift to Asda? (Not that I would condone going over the speed limit of course.....) Talkytoaster maps are your way forwards. Be patient with the download old chap! You won't regret it.

Well said.

Saw these Essex girls before finding Cache and Dash #5 The third of this trio is in the bushes with the GPSr looking for a cache. Obviously.

I finish work at 6am on Sunday morning and have got to Boris bike it to the station to get the first train to here be dragon's land. If there are any problems with the trains or if I get stuck at work - I may need you to put the Mega back a week or so. That's ok isn't it?

Fractured left elbow walking down from Kinder Scout after getting a few caches. That was more than 7 years ago and it still hurts.....

Right at the bottom of the page that shows your pocket queries is 'My Finds'. Click on 'Add to queue'. You can run this every 3 days and it'll give you a PQ of all your finds to upload into GSAK.

On here making 2 plus 2 equal 5 is quite common.

You could attach it to the webupdater. It has a re-install section (although I'm not sure what it re-installs.) You could also try looking here. Alternatively, blame your wife and demand she buy you another. Thanks for the reply The re-install only re-installs the latest update.I can't find the info to re-install the original software though? Regards Dave Ask in the wikispaces forum - you may have more luck there.

+1 for an Oregon

With my nose 6 inches from it's face (as I looked under a crack in a rock face) - I thought this chap was an adder for a split second....

Yes. Apparently Happy Humphrey drags a cache behind his helicopter as you sprint after it on your bike; GCYOUGOTNOCHANCEOFCATCHINGHIM.

Thanks for all the help and advice, but it looks like this trip has bitten the dust unfortunately. There's a chance that Ali will have no choice but to work on at least one of the days we were planning to be away and the flights etc are just too costly to take the risk.....

Oi, hands off!!! I saw him first! After his recent headline grabbing TV appearance, I've decided to become agent for 'Coach Palmer' as you all now have to call him. I've also identified some spare time that he has each week (between 4am and 4.45am) that he's kept quiet about. If anyone would like to book Coach Palmer, drop me an e-mail. He's available for birthdays, weddings, Bar Mitzvah's and 'Special' ladies nights. (Cheap rates if you're a member of the GAGB). There's also a slight problem with a double booking on 31st July. He won't now be going to the Mega as he's off to the Middle East to help solve their problems instead. I bet they will be more appreciative of his efforts than some others............

Obscure??? But geocaching is more popular than ever, unfortunately!!! Ladies and gentlemen we have the winner. It's never been the same since all these new unwashed people joined! UNWASHED PEOPLE JOINED ? You would get my hilarious joke if you read the virtuals thread.

I look down on those that are merely Unwashed.
