Hi
I am visiting Oslo (Torp) next week can anyone recommend any decent caches in that area? Also any accommodation - that is reasonable? I have looked at the Norwegian Forums pages - but I'm sorry I do not speak norwegian.

In yesterday's Daily Mail (Page 6) there was an article about the credit crisis and one of the statistics was that 40% more tupperware boxes are being sold this year as more people are taking packed lunches to work - Could there be another reason?!?!?!?
-
Will try to make it down from Edinburgh depending on when it is. Would probably stay with our daughter in Manchester, but Harrogate is not so far from there.
Anyone creative enough to make a geocoin to commemorate the event?
Our first attempt...

Don't forget Doncaster Robin Hood Airport - they do cheap flights to/from Ireland with Ryanair and to other destinations in Europe.

So it's Harrogate in '

Thanks for everyones ideas - I will try the date option if I go along that route or use the download all on geocacheuk.
Many thanks again

Hi All
We keep hearing about Geo-Woodstock (now in it's 5th year) and we were wondering why we are missing out on a MEGA event in the UK - we know that Glastonbury followed Woodstock musically - so is there any chance of a Geo-Glastonbury geocachingly?!?! Could we assemble 500 cachers at one time in the UK?!?
It would be a great opportunity not only to meet with cachers from all over the country and from further afield but it would allow the participants to obtain the Mega Event icon.
We know that we are raising our head above the parapet to be flamed and ridiculed but if no-one suggests it it will never happen.
We thought a good place for it would be somewhere geographically central - maybe somewhere like the final place of the Alchemy series, but if anyone has any suggestions ideas to throw into the melting pot that would be great...
What do you think?
Over to you...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew what co-ordinates/postcodes were required to use as pocket queries centre points to generate the whole of the UK caches into GSAK using the least number of pocket queries? What do other people use/do?

Good Luck whoever it is - Carol and I appeared on Radio Nottingham this last Bank Holiday Monday.
-
Well Done Alan - that is a big milestone! Congratulations!!!
-
At least one of us wouldn't mind talking to the radio. So we are up for it - let us know what we need to do.

(Not that I'm thinking about the match tonight or anything)
Didn't know Celtic were playing.
No, but Liverpool are
-
We are off to Prague for Easter and we are planning some caching when we are there - as there appear to be one or two caches about!! We are planning on going paperless and we were wondering if there is a czech equivalent of memory map or at least just a map of Prague we could download?
If you know of anything that we can download (pref for free) could you let us know the website?
Many thanks in advance

We have been using custom export to get the icons - can you get the LordElph icons using the export to memory map? We don't think you can - if we are wrong let us know how you do it
-
Hi
These have been working fine - but we have now downloaded the latest version of GSAK and the custom export seems to have changed we can no longer get the %hint find in the Comments box - does anyone know of anyway round this?
-
We too use an Acer - ours is the N35 could anyone say whether a SD Wi Fi adapter would would on this unit?
Many thanks

Or what about...
Silent cache, quiet night
All is calm, lid is tight
Round yon Virgin cache a child
Little muggle so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent cache, quiet night!
Walkers quake at the sight
Praises stream from cache site afar
Loud geocachers sing Alleluia!
FTF, we are here first
FTF, we are here first
Silent night, holy night
Log Book, it’s a pure sight
Radiant beams from Thy frozen face
With the dawn it’s running pace
Nice place, cache, at Thy birth
Nice place, cache, at Thy birth

What about this one?....
Caching through the snow
For a one star easy find
O'er the fields we go
Wondering what we’ll find
PAF we can ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A caching song tonight
Oh, GPS, GPS
Follow all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cache
To a one star easy find
GPS, GPS
Follow all the way
Oh, what fun it is to cache
At a one star easy find

Although stictly not a carol...
I'm dreaming of a new geocache
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the lidboxes glisten,
and cachers listen
To hear Steviep in the snow
(Cue old joke about yellow snow!)
I'm dreaming of a new geocache
With every log entry I write
May your days be merry and kind
And may all your Caches be first to find
I'm dreaming of a new geocache
With every log entry I write
May your days be merry and kind
And may all your Caches be first to find

How about...
While cachers watch their screens at night
All seated in their homes
A new cache notification appears
FTF chance, can't you hear the phones
Fear not said they, there is a clue
Which eased their troubled minds
Glad tidings of great joy it brings
To them to help with their finds
To you in a nearby town this day
Is hidden, by railway line
A cache which is a large multi
And this shall be the sign
The virgin cache you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in stickoflage
and in a crevice laid.

Hi Stuey
The PPC MM is Version 5 Version 5.0.5 build 663
Hope that helps.
-
Still can't get this to work. I have removed all of the icons from the PC version of MM - except the new ones. When I export details to the PDA I simply get blue dots. The only way I can get anything other than blue dots is creating an export from GSAK which uses the boat for multi, the Petrol pump for earthcaches the anchor for waypoints and the like. Is there somewhere else in MM that I have to remove the icons from? I have been using Overlay>Icons>Add and Remove. On checking this there are just Lordelph's icons listed.
Sorry to be a pain - but I would really like to use these on the PDA
Best Regards
-
We have got the icons to work fine on the PC at home but when we try to transfer them to the PDA they all disappear and are replaced by a blue dot. Are we doing something wrong? When we check the properties on the PC the symbol field is not showing.
