There will be some GPS jamming trials going on from Salisbury Plain in the period 10th - 12th December 2007, actual times and expected ranges to be notified by NOTAM on the days. This is just 'heads up'!

Our coins came by post today. Many thanks for such great coins for such a good cause. Happy Caching & Seasons Greetings from Daphne + Colin

Excellent news Well done Wendy and Ceasar . From Daphne + Colin.

Have just ordered two silver and two gold finish. Hope to the railway is back to normal service soon. Regards Daphne + Colin

Whay do some cachers write a note when dropping TB's. All you have to do is refer to it it your main log. Then scroll down the page highlight the TB you are dropping and submit the log. A lot easier than writing the log submitting it and then write the note and submit again. Perhaps I am missing something?

We will be brining two display boards, courtesy of QinetiQ.

We were going to ask that! See you both next weekend at B-O-A. Daphne + Colin

Hi We wonder if any one in forum land can help us. Our trusty Garmin 12 no longer downloads from GSAK . It tells us that it cannot innitiate COM 1. We have tried another GPS a Garmin 72 and it downloads correctly. This is the 2nd time our GPS 12 has done this. Has anyone else had this problem? Last week working OK this week nothing. Should I send it back to the service centre? Which I think is in Romsey Hampshire. Any help gratefully received.

Hi Great idea, please put us down for two coins. Hope you get enough interested.

Nice to see you back again. Daphne + Colin

Many congratulations to Graham + Lorna on finding their 700th cache. From Daphne + Colin aka The Wobbly Club

We both agree. We have had help from the all of the caching administrators, as well as from The Wombles, Gralorn, The hole-in-the-wall gang and Ailec Nor to name a few. It is the only sport that we can participate in on a level playing field (so to speak). Many many thanks from Daphne + Colin.

Many congratulations from The Wobbly Club. Well done

Many thanks. If I had brains I would be dangerous, Did not give a thought to try the internet. Thanks again

Hi Some time ago I noticed an add on to Firefox so that you could enter a waypoint name into the search bar. For the life of me I cannot remember where I saw it. Can some one please advise. Many thanks. Colin
