Paddawan and I are currently looking for accommodation - arriving Thur evening and leaving Mon morning.
We will have a hire car as we plan to D®ive the Bus plus some other stuff, if you are prepared to put up with us put us up that would be great.
What is Drive the Bus? Sounds interesting.
I am still considering getting to PTA not sure how or where I will stay but can figure that out.

I will be willing to put up a few cachers at my place for the MEGA - just let me know. You can camp in my backyard and I have a room or 2 available.
You can also catch a lift with me everyday to the event.

Hi all,
Just wondering what your feeling is on finding/doing events via Skype and then logging. I have this question as I see it happening but cannot find anything on the topic. Only thing I can find is the Guidelines for logging a cache and reading through that it seems that it cannot be done: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=59
What are your thoughts on this?

Hi all,
I want to ask Coinsandpins to create more of these coins:
Please mail me if you are interested so that I can get some numbers to them to see if it is viable. Please indicate your email address and how many you would like.
regards,

What is the plan for this event? Are we just getting together for a chilled brunch? That sounds like fun
Chilled is good.We will be searching for about 20-30 caches in the area. We will furthermore be doing a little bit of questionares and puzzles with regards to school stuff like Biology, Science, Maths etc.
We will also just be having a lekka lunch and some good quality kuier.

I still feel that I paid for something and not getting what I paid for - how can GC just do that.
A contract is normally where someone provides a service for renumeration. They say i get mobireader etc and it costs me so much. I pay and then they stop to provide?
I don't think it is fair and for all the money they make in a year - I would think that they are at least capable of getting something so elementary working again or at least put some effort into it.
But there seems to be a lack in effort and that is what is getting to me!

Glad to see that the Geocaching SA group is growing slowly but surely - thanks to all of you who joined so far.
Please invite more of your friend to Facebook and the GC group.

GPS
in South Africa
But do they get you spot on caches. I have a MioGPS, very similar to the Nuvi310 but find that I have to be moving at least 5kph to get it to show me the direction of the cache. It gets really frustrating as I pass the cache site often. I tried an Etrex yellow and that worked a lot better than mine did, but still is not quite getting me on the right spot at times. Although it is more or less in the right area. Not to mention the problem I have with mine down gorges and under trees even though it has a SiRFstarIII receiver in.
I will probably look at getting the Etrex Vista HCx as it gets a good review from those who use it. But I need to run this pass the Missus and she is not all that keen on money been spent on stupid things like that.
You just need to make use of the Offroad setting when looking for a cache and not fastest/shortest road then it is normally spot on.
If you are in the JHB area contact MIAS on 011 793 3321 and ask for Abdullah - tell them Juan send you and he should give you a very good discount

THe nuvi range works very nice for me - We have a 360 and a 610.
The touchscreen, bluetooth and ease of use does it for me

Hmmm....
Not happy.
It was actually the ebook that was a bigger selling point for me than the PQ's. I don't pay Premium for ME to have to go find a workaround.
I don't care how "easy" it is to work around it. My time is very scarce, so I pay for the info I need to arrive in a form I can use basically straight away.
If it's any work on my part, well i don't need any extra work, I work insane hours as it is.
Will be watching with great interest.
FULLY with you on this!

Newbies at the MEGA
"Part of the GoSA Constitution Objectives are to promote and enhance the Geocaching Game in South Africa. In pursuit of this objective we have decided to allow Newbies to join the MEGA event for FREE - their entry will be sponsored by GoSA. A Newbie in this case is someone who does not have a Geocaching Handle yet. You are invited to bring as many newbies along with you as you want - the only requirement for them to qualify for the free entry is that they need to sign up as Geocachers at the MEGA event - either as their team or as an individual."
