LQ:GTR LONDON published

Muhahahaha, look what I've got! I was first to find the two lovely ladies (they were more excited than me, think they thought no one was going to turn up!) and using my charm, wit and good looks to my advantage managed to secure 20 extra coins for those of you who couldn't make it. If you would like one then email me through our profile, first come first served.

Sounds good to me, I wonder how close to the London Eye I can park my motorbike...?

Is it possible to greasemonkey this to provide a link on cache pages which would open this map centered on the cache coordinates?

I'm in

How long have you waited? TB mileage takes a while to register.

I've released loads of coins with holes drilled in and keyrings attached, it may increase their longevity but they still get nicked. Someone posted a note on one of my coins the other day which indicated it had no tag so I contacted them, they confirmed the keyring with mission statement was gone, basically people will nick anything!

I have the same issue using Opera Mini 4.1 and 4.2 Beta on my Nokia N95, I'd certainly love to see a fix as Opera would rock for accessing cache pages in the field.

The map on this page only displays to half way down my browser window, then there's the lat long input and then acres of white pixels. Same result in Firefox and IE, screen res 1280*1024

Just looks like a motorway to me! I am shockingly easy to please Found a very interesting site about it, and other motorway curios: www.pathetic.org.uk I found that too, and intend to check out the A4(M) at the earliest opportunity!

If you look for caches in places like Iraq there are many caches which are within the grounds of army bases, therefore only really available to members of the armed forces.

I own the nearest cache to the one in question here, it gets about 10 visits a year, as does the next nearest cache. I can appreciate the concerns raised and think it was right to question it if in doubt rather than keep quiet. However, it looks like a sturdy wall which isn't likely to get disassembled in the hunt for the cache and as caching is not as popular in France as over here I don't think there is likely to be a huge increase in traffic to the area due to it's presence. Fingers crossed there will be no need to archive it in future, it looks like a nice cache, I want to go find it!

Parking co-ords which took you to within 10 metres of a junction? Maybe when the placer marked them they were 11 metres away but your gps readings were slightly different?

I just looked at the details for requesting it, it costs "$55,000 + inbound shipping per standard 3 month booking. " Shall we have a whip round? PS - If anyone wants to see the 'wall of cachers' from within the exhibit, featuring a surprising number of UK based cachers, check out this photo (approx 2.5mb)

Why sit about waiting for it to come to England? I've already been and done it!

I assume you have a North American GPSr, so I would be surprised if it even has a basemap for the UK. My UK Garmin certiainly doesn't have a basemap for the USA/Canada.

My grammar is dead, bless her. You want to try caching in the USA if you want to see poor hides. There are cache series over there in car parks of restaurants etc which are just micros tied to the branches of a bush or similar right outside shops on retail parks. Other top notch hiding places include magnetic micros on the back of crash barriers along the side of the road, lamp posts and on advertising boards on bus shelters. When we get a series that has a cache placed by every Harvester restaurant or by bus stops then I'll start worrying about it. You will always get some ill conceived caches, but I think in the UK they are not a huge issue as we don't seem to have adopted the attitude of placing a cache for caches sake, regardless of location.

I'm going to say no more about this in here, I've sent you a private message. However, I feel I must point out that I cannot see how the definition of the word chav is off topic in a thread entitled "chav run ins whilst caching"

Interesting statistic, did you make it up? No from several personal experiences both were I presently live and in Manchester. Plus personal experience from Geocaching So you didn't make it up, but the source of the information is yourself? I'm confused. Basically I don't know what everyone is getting so worked up about, there is no council owned housing where I live, but I rent my place from the local housing association which pretty much amounts to the same thing. I don't take offence to the stereotypical representation of chavs and any connotations they may have with council owned/built property. Did anyone at any point say that all people who live in council property are chavs? If so I missed it. If you make that interpretation by yourself and then find yourself offended by it I don't think its then fair to say that other people have offended you. The expression in question was made up of two specific characeristics, being council housed and violent, if you only fulfil the primary criteria then there is no cause to take offence or feel you are being stereotyped, surely? If this is the road the forum is going to go down then we will end up where no-one can say anything for fear of causing some degree of offence to someone. I apologise for my repeat posting, but I feel that such subjects are better addressed in public rather than via email/pm. I would also not like to see the forum become a place where discussions are curtailed because someone decides they might not like the views which someone else may have to express.

I'm sure it was different, but from reading the log it seems like the moment things got out of hand was when he told the youth to **** off. If you speak to people like that, especially young people how do you expect them to react?

Interesting statistic, did you make it up?

Seems to me that it was you who caused this situation to degenerate by verbally abusing the youth in question. How can you expect someone to show you any respect when you don't extend the same courtesy to them?

I use mine for caching all the time, tomtom to get me there then AF Track to do follow the arrow. I haven't bothered with a standalone GPSr for ages.

The credit for the first two geocaching fox hunts in the UK lies with Team Tate for this event in 2002 and this event in 2003. I believe Bob of Team Tate was involved in the GPS tracking industry so had the necessary equipment, sadly Bob is also no longer with us.
