2202

The Great Ouse has been adopted by Dragontree. Cannot edit my own topic though to cross it off the list.

The Chiltern Hundred series has now been adopted by the Poppy Walkers and many thanks to Ralph for his recent update.

I have decided to offer for adoption the following Traditional caches, prior to archiving. Any takers please contact me through my profile. The ones in red I certainly would not like to see disappear forever. University Challenge series: 1,2,3,4,8,9,11,13,14 and 15. Oxford Caches; Parsons Pleasure, Treacle Well, Bagley Wood, Oxford’s Secret Valley, I’ll Psduj, Thames Path: Get it the finger Derek, Get your school compases out, Newbridge (not), Pinkhill Lock, Radley A seat of Learning, Sandford Lock, Somewhere under the rainbow. Misc Oxfordshire caches: Dirty Drunken Deddington, Wrong side of the Track, Blenhiem Palace (get in free), £350,000. Ridgeway Run: Hugh’s Demise, 4 to 5 on, East Ginge Down, Lord Wantages Monument. Chiltern Hundred Series: Neil Kinnock, John Stonehouse, Leon Brittan, Ian Paisley and Enoch Powell. Bedford Cache: The Great Ouse Cornwall Caches: Asparagus Anyone? Cadgwith Cove. I will be retaining all my puzzle caches and will add the odd one or two when the inspiration so takes me.

And not 1926, which at 5,745 km was the longest overall. 2007 being only 3,569.9 km. Shortest was in 1904 at 2,420 km. I have been up and down the Alpe D'Huez stage, albeit in a coach, and they must be bonkers. But the longest single stage, no idea.

Be a big boy and do it by yourself. Phone someone just before you go in, and say that you will phone them back an hour later. If they have not heard from you they can then send in the search party. As long as you have a spare working torch its otherwise quite easy.

Belgium? don't think so. At 136 metres tall it would probably cast a shadow over most of the country. (and before you correct me, the Signal de Botrange is 694 metres high)

Oxford to Bodmin, Friday morning July 6th 3.5 hours in a car. Very easy. Before howls of protest from others saying its for the rich, stay at Rock and this little hotel is reasonable. Plenty of caches in the area, some easy, some difficult

Did it by myself..........what's the problem? I did let another cacher know that I was doing it though. Its very straight forward and nearly a cache and dash.

I do believe there are two caches en-route, one Wireless Communication at Mullion and my Asparagus Anyone? at Keynance Cove. However you will have to wait for low tide to get to that one Fugawi due to its 'Find Geocaching' search facility is the one to go for, and far cheaper with greater area covered than MM.

I'll give Marty a DING for that. Its called a Time Ball and was invented by Robert Wauchope later to be an Admiral back in 1833. There are around 60 in the world. He went onto meet and become a friend of Herschel. An interesting antidote is that in 1834 his brother-in-law, Admiral Patrick Campbell, invited him to be his flag captain. Wauchope accepted on the condition that no prostitutes were to be allowed on board the ship. His insistence on this resulted in him being summoned before Sir Thomas Hardy the First Sea Lord, who ordered him to resign his commission.

No, that covers the earth rotation. (Tony from Watford / Berkhamsted)

With NickPick absent here's a caching related question. Its big, round and goes up and down and would have helped us with our longitude readings. What is it, and who invented it?

What, like this one? Its introduction was a significant development in the motor car industry that revived the roadster segment of sports cars, with other companies promptly introducing roadsters to their model ranges, such as the MG F, and the third-generation Toyota MR2. In 1976, Bob Hall, a journalist at Motor Trend magazine an expert in Japanese cars and fluent in the language, met Kenichi Yamamoto, head of Research and Development at Mazda. Yamamoto asked Hall what kind of car Mazda should make in the future: "I babbled [...] how the [...] simple, bugs-in-the-teeth, wind-in-the-hair, classically-British sports car doesn't exist anymore. I told Mr. Yamamoto that somebody should build one [...] inexpensive roadster." As of 2007, the MX-5 is the world's best-selling sports car, with over 800,000 cars sold So, its a big DING to Nediam (god, I did not think it would last this long!)

So am I with a 6'3" frame! One of the stupidest concepts known to man, what Clive Sinclair was on at the time beggars beleif. At least what I am after has double the seating capacity.

Get the Fugawi version and get much more land coverage as well for less cost. Also the 'Find geocaching sites function is great and you can use that for anywhere on mainland Britain. 1:50000 is fine for caching.

And I have two in my hands right now. I released the one you have but with the covering website address attached. It is:- www.log4.us/ladybugs Should have read Birders appeal properly. They are Alaskan and will forward their address direct to Birders.

X was put in the place of the manufacturers name. If I gave that away it would have been easy. So we are talking cars and you will always see is drivers sporting grins.

No As I have said before it is not a A vs B answer. Just an A And one manufacturer only VW Beetle?? No Take a look at post 781

No As I have said before it is not a A vs B answer. Just an A And one manufacturer only

Someone at least is getting warm I'm just about to use mine to go out caching..........SP cannot answer this now Its not a A vs B answer. Just an A

No, again hardly expensive, in parts of the UK I believe you can still buy a house for less. As of 2002, Guinness World Records has it as the best selling product of its genre, which it still holds

Dunno, I cant see why not. (have an idea that you know the answer....You have to set a question if you are correct though) Is Sony involved? No

No An American journalist conceived the concept in 1976 to a Japanese R&D man who some 5 years later asked the journalist, who was working for X by then, to progress the idea further.

Technology is always present, but this did not represent a technological advance, it did however make the best use of the technology available to it and has improved with it over the years. It is good proof of the KISS principle which states that simplicity in design should be a key goal. ("Keep It Simple, Stupid")
