A scrap of paper in a plastic bag.
How about one of those fake, hollowed-out dog turds, you know, the sort you can pick up in the Joke Shop. What if I put a carefully crafted log book and tiny pen inside, put the whole thing in a plastic bag and hung it in a tree at my favourite beauty spot. Would that be a valid cache

Does anyone know if it is possible to get 'publication' notifications sent to twitter??
Thanks
Chris
Yes it is.
You need to register a 2nd twitter account and then link this account to an email address registered at www.twittermail.com
Have publication notices forwarded to this new email address
Such emails are then tweeted by this 2nd twitter account, so you then need to have your main twitter account follow the 2nd account.

Evening All
We are off on a 4x4 off roading tour in the pyrenees traveling from the west to the east.
I am find it really hard to found a nice/special cache that we could drive to in our 4x4 or a short walk as we will have our four year old with us and we are not hikers .
Any help would be fab as we go on friday
Thank you
This cache looks fantastic: Artzamendi GCKT0W - I hiked along the Iparla ridge south of Bidarray last month, but alas didn't manage to include this cache...however, it does look like you can drive to within 50m.
Cheers

A couple of one-eyed lumps of slag ain't doing for me I'm afraid!
If someone does do an olympics inspired coin, I'm sure they could come up with something much nicer. Am already liking SP's hoolahooping signal idea

Interestingly enough the 'Aviation Viewing Park' is in the exclusion zone.
Shall we ring the police to say that muggles are acting suspiciously there?
Are event caches within the exclusion zone also to be banned in future...a group of sober geocachers may not meet, but a hoard of drunk muggles is just fine
?btw the Aviation Viewing Park as labelled on Google is in fact the fire station - the entrance to the AVP is at N53 21.355 W2 17.053

GC25HCC 10 Years! Chequers, England, an evening pub event cache by metal-bijou was approved yesterday
It's pretty close to my lunch time event -walking distance- so I hope people will come along and make a day of it.
According to Deceangi: "you only have to look at the situation in Germany, with stacked 10 year events which is public knowledge. Behind the scenes there has been major issues, with Groundspeak not even guaranteeing that all the events will get the Icon. That in it's self will lead to more fall out." 14/4/10 14:34

Hi all
I have not been caching much In the last year (or so) and a cache I adopted in 2005 is in need of some TLC its Hey Diddle Diddle GC4D01 placed in April 2002. Judging from the logs it just needs removing and drying out then replacing. Its a good 25 miles each way and cant see me getting there for a month or so....
Anybody fancy adopting it ? its been there for 8 years and really needs to be kept alive.....
Also The loaded Gun GCKD34 placed 2004 is up for adoption.
Thanks
I'll take Hey Diddle Didle, please.

Can any Geocacher who lives in this area please mark all relevant parking Lay-Bys on the A.635 Road please. In O.S.G.B. format. More near to Greenfield /Manchester end.... thank you
There's also a much smaller layby at SE 04128 06075 (N53 33.077 W001 56.350) - I used this when doing this cache: GCZB0C

That's excellent...it's working for me on Vodafone.
Thankyou

The Map Shop in Upton on Severn have a fantastic range of available maps and will send mail order
I've bought numerous foreign maps (Italy, France, Switzerland) from The Map Shop - always prompt and they've never been out of stock...the quality varies, but that's down to mapping agency of the country concerned!
In general the 'Official Maps' coverage of Italy is poor, but the detail on the IGC 1:25,000 map 101 of the Gran Paradiso National Park is excellent. The quality of the equivalent 1:50,000 maps of that area of NW Italy is not quite what you'd expect if you've been spoiled by the OS Landranger series!

Hi
I have just got my map of Mallorca in preparation for a holiday there in September (Yes - I plan ahead!!). The co-ords for the grid on the map are stated to be UTM28R, whereas those on the cache pages are UTM31S. The numbers obviously do not match.
Does anyone know of a quick way of converting from UTM28R to UTM31S? A quick Google search did not reveal anything.
Many thanks in advance.
UTM28R covers a different group of islands - the Cannaries

Non members can log MO caches. I would suggest any non-members who wish to log caches that've been made MO for this reason to contact the owner for a link.
And if the MO cache has ever contained a TB, then non-members can find the co-ordinates of the cache with a bit of digging...this is fine for traditional and conventional multis, but not much use for puzzle caches

HMmmmmm, The coin is in her inventory as a grab though. Not as the owner. One can grab a coin by using it's private number.
But only when it's activated , will it have a Public number. At least this is my understanding. I've been known to be wrong , and bad, very, very bad.
Opalsns
I think that the public number is allocated when Groundspeak generate the private number - another 'feature' of the wap interface is that it states the date the coin was created, which is not the same date field as the date of release as displayed on the coin's page on the regular website
-
I am begening to become cross eyed over stage three!!!
I REALLY want to figure out how that coin got grabbed but not activated!
Does this mean another player could activate it again?
If a person has the actual coin , they can post it as a discovery if it hasn't been activated.It happened to one of the Cachin' Crow coins. You enter the number on the coin, just like any other discovery, or retrieving.
In this case, I think that's what Mrs. BexyBear did. The problem is getting The Public Tracking Number to find that coin's page.
Opalsns
But in this case Mrs. BexyBear grabbed the coin using the private tracking number and the wap.geocaching.com interface...the coin resides in her inventory, and because it isn't activated, her MyAccount page crashes. However, her MyProfile page displays OK.

I can't believe the site is down right in the midst of a stage 3 search.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, talk me down, AHhhhhhhh
I used the opportunity to go out caching found the first of a multi then I think I figured the final cords wrong but I got a nice one mile hike in the mountains in the snow!!!!!!!!
Hey, you only got a *one mile* hike out in the mountains...you oughta tryout BexyBear's fav hide out in the Swiss Alps...GCE7E3...Heidi
Enjoy,

Oh boy.
What a shame I won't be able to get the answers in for FTF! Just my luck that I have started a new job and won't have time to search until tomorrow (my day off!)- good luck everyone!
I think you could still be FTF, these are tough questions.
Well, 1) and 2) were a doddle
but then I would say that 
3) was fairly easy...
but 4) is in my back yard, and even I'm struggling...5) this suspect looks vaguely, very vaguely familar...

an unactivated TB coin in my inventory which causes the My Account page to crash out.
A Bug to be fixed?
I've now repeated this using an unactivated TB tag which does belong to me, and grabbing it using a 'dummy' account - that account now has the same crashed-out My Account page:
and the bug's log is here
-
A couple of days ago I picked up a TB coin from a cache. I logged the bug from my mobile phone using the WAP interface, but wasn't given the option to pick it from the cache in which it was located - the only options I had were "Grab from somewhere else", "Write a note" or "Discover it".
I "Grabbed it". So far so good.
However, when I tried to go to the "My Account" page when back home I got an error - the page crashed and simply wouldn't load.
After further investigation, it appeared that the TB coin I had grabbed had never been activated...so I had an unactivated TB coin in my inventory which causes the My Account page to crash out. The only option I had was to seek out the Activation code and active the TB coin against my account - now My Account page is back to normal, but I am the owner of a TB coin which isn't mine...

Good Grief (or words to that effect
) I rarely read this forum, in common, so it seems, with most old timers...but thank goodness that ZZB took my tongue-in-cheek post in the manner in which it was intended...unlike TH and Deci...Come on Rutson, as the OP, what's your take on dog turds, fake or otherwise
