  1. I'm not on any Facebook caching pages so only found out when someone told me. I've seen my trackables at 4 previous megas with no issues, they have been picked up and moved on. In my local area we have had large trackables brought to events in pubs with no issues and many regularly get taken to events in the middle of London. To openly state they will dispose of them seems to me to go against the rules of what TBS are about.
  2. Sadly it is the Aberdeen mega committee! Stated today on their Facebook page. I have a few large trackables in circulation. They have been successfully travelling for several years now. I am not the only cacher I know with large trackables. I used to own a cache large enough for the bigger trackables. I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in this statement from a mega committee. It doesn't paint them in a good light.
  3. Is it okay to say you will dispose of large trackables left at an event? We have had many large trackables travelling in my local area for many years. Some travelling abroad and proving popular. So I am very sad to see it publicly announced that large trackables will be disposed of. My sons rocket made it to HQ from the UK. Should large TBS be disposed of or should they be seen as a way to encourage caches bigger than a nano?
  4. I was the one who logged this cache and had it deleted. Nothing in my log was offensive or a lie or personal. I wrote my log to try and deter people with kids and dogs from going to a potentially hazardous location. I received a long message from one CO that basically accused me of being abusive. I was blunt but in no way abusive. Several of this series had us walking in places with no footpaths not I highly doubt permission. My log was then deleted. I logged it again and then received more messages from the other CO calling me abusive again. I then suggested they look up the word abusive. My next message had the dictionary definition of abusive with their interpretation of how I had been "habitually cruel". A lot of their caches are difficult to log, I have always been respectful in my logs and not said too much about the rubbish nearby or strange locations. This one, however, is different! I have done many caches that are higher terrain, with my 8 year old, and I would take him back to most of them. This is a 1.5/1.5, with a "recommended for kids" attribute. It is behind a locked gate which can also be approached via a field with no public footpaths. It has big mounds of woodchips and manure. Disgusting rank water of unknown depths. Rubbish, broken glass. And I'm pretty sure no public access. I was very tempted to log an NA straight away but felt that harsh for a new cache. So in trying to let people with kids and dogs know what this location is like I've had my log deleted and been accused of being abusive. Something which I am not. Ground speak don't like my tone, believe me, I was being restrained. It is foul and hazardous and not a place I ever want to have to visit again.
