  1. I am sure if you're travelling to the Mega Event on two wheels you will have no trouble parking near or possibly at the venue. Below are the designated town mototrcycle bays FYI.

     

    Victoria Multi Storey Car park Approx 10

    Jubilee Multi Storey Car Park approx 10

    Odeon Surface Level CP 1

    Park View Surface Level CP 1

     

    Forgive me if I don't provide you with GPSr coords, but you're clever people I am sure you can figure them out for yourself.

    I am not sure yet as to whether I'll be there on two wheels, but it'd be good to see if there's anyone up for a rideout on those ACE YORKSHIRE A ROADS ++++++++

  2. Sounds like a top idea Alibags, do you think we can have a raffle at each one to determine who hosts the event the following month/two weeks/week?

     

    As for night caching, my trip tonight won't interest the Doc, coz he's already been there done that. When I get some place you haven't cached Ill let you know :mad:

     

    Aiiii

     

    I'm banned from night caching :mad:

     

    Banned? I don't think so, who banned you? What happens if you come out with the fraggle in daylight and we don't get you home till 4am??

  4. Berkshire might be a bit of a push if you're looking on the beds/bucks border. I am guesssing you must be Milton Keynes way?

    If you want to meet local cachers and there's not an event near you, I am sure someone can help you setup an event at a pub near you, like the meet in Berkshire that has been mentioned above.

    If you're looking for people to cache with, why don't you pick a series of caches you can do as a circular walk with a few pubs along the way :laughing:, come back on here and ask if anyone wants to come caching - usually does the trick :laughing:

    If you want to come night caching, PM me but you'll need nerves of steel and a big torch.

  5. I have no complaints about the VX-7R, I haven't transmitted yet coz ofcourse I am still waiting to sit the exam, but it recieves fairly well. I am still having trouble working out what antena I can buy to use for it whilst in the car or out and about. I am finding in transit the signals drop out sometimes, and think this is due the stock antena.

    I saw someone fit a nice upgraded antena to their bicycle that looked well funny. I don't have any desire to transmit from a bicycle, coz I Am normally gasping for breath 99% of the time. lol

  6. Seems that the email notification didn't go out and DrSolly was unaware the cache had been enabled before he set out to do the series. Just incase it's happened again, the cache is active awaiting it's next adventures. :smile: It's the first case of doggled I've ever heard of!!

  7. Are ye getting the legend fixed or throwing it in the bin? I'd be interested in discussing it's future with you!!

     

    I have a Palm I can let you have that would be good enough to get you started with paperless if you decided to go with cachemate. I was thinking of turning the palm into a TB so it can be given to non paperless cachers to try out for free, before being passed on to the next cacher to try out.

     

    Hmm - PM me to discuss :)

  8. Hiya guys as some of you may know, I am trying to organise getting married. Normally the organising of a stag moose event is to be done by the best man, although he's in New Zealand. I was wondering if you crazy lot have any ideas on what I might do.

    My initial thoughts are

    goto the lake district for the lord of the rings series

    or

    go and do the lyke wake walk and get blotted in Robin Hoods Bay

     

    Ofcourse whatever it is would involve lots of caching one way or another. I guess this has to be organised before Autumn hits, so I am gonna wait and see what the mega event date is before deciding on the date of this crazy event.

     

    Has there been a geo stag event b4? Wonder what they did?

     

    MOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOSSSSSEEEEEEE

  9. Does anybody in the UK combine their interest in ham radio and geocaching. If so, how do they do this, are there newsgroups onair where ham/cachers meet up?

     

    Cheers

  10. I use this macro from ProsperoDK which export all caches to Garmin POI files, one file for each cache- and child-type.

    I'm confused now :anicute:

     

    A child waypoints .gpx file comes with the PQ which can be loaded to the GPS via the Mapsource software, is this what we're talking about here.....getting child waypoints on to a GPS or something else?

     

    I think I took it slightly off topic re child waypoints. Yes I know the childwaypoints is an extra file sent with the PQ, but older pages don't have that newish feature and so require a little more tweaking.

     

    Thanks, now I think it's back to New Garmin 60csx - what else do I need? :blink:
