Shep, Seren & Tess Dog Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 We almost were yesterday! Shep & I managed to locate The Blorenges' Famous Men Cache, & normally I put Shep on sentry duty whilst I rummage through the box & sign the log. But Shep was so pleased at finding the cache contained an old British £1 note (he collects old notes) he totally failed in his duties. A muggle walking his 4 Whipets was almost on top of us (luckily there was a hedge obscuring us) before Shep raised the alarm, so I quickly shoved the cache behind me & threw myself down on the floor & pretended to be sunbathing! I was wearing a thick jacket & a hat at the time it must have looked a bit odd, but he passed without saying anything & didnt seem to realise that we were up to anything unusual, thats the closest weve come in a long time!. Shep has since been demoted, & Tess Dog has taken his place.The problem is, is that shes deaf...I think I need to sack the pair of them! Has anyone elce nearly been caught? Seren.

+Simply Paul Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The only people who ever caught me caching were armed. Police in London and Farmers in Bucks. Nothing scares me more than a muggle with a gun... SP Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 SP, for those of us who are new to these forums, you are going to HAVE to elaborate! especially about the police Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 SP, for those of us who are new to these forums, you are going to HAVE to elaborate! especially about the police I did a quick search and came up with this: 'ello 'ello 'ello, what 'ave we 'ere then? Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 'ello 'ello 'ello, what 'ave we 'ere then? Very funny SP "loitering with intent"? Mrs B Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Got caught off guard a couple of weeks ago. Caching on a hilltop above Huddersfield, found cache and sat next to a drystone wall to escape the bitterly cold wind whilst filling in the logbook. Stood up and was startled to find a metal-detecting muggle right the other side of the wall! Had to take the cache with me as he wasn't going anywhere. An hour later he was still in the field, but was so engrossed in his task that I managed to replace the cache without being noticed. Quote Link to comment
+tiddles Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Having been found ferreting at the base of rotten trees on more than one occasion, I usually say I'm checking woodlouse colonies for the Environment Agency, does the trick. Love tiddles xxx Quote Link to comment
+Ricky007 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The problem with me is that I'm deaf myself, hence I had to keep looking out for muggles while looking for cahces...hence i may look a bit odd to the muggles!! (rest assured, i make sure they all disappear before i get the caches!!) So give Tess Dog a chance to sign to you rather than woof at you, seren!! Quote Link to comment
+Mr Nibbler Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Recently accosted by talkative dog-walking muggles at "Eel Island". Container was in full view on the ground but Mrs N (who is not geocaching's biggest fan) in a moment of inspiration stepped over it covering it with her long dress. She certainly earned her cream tea that day! Quote Link to comment

+Mr Nibbler Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 LOL - she'd kill me if she knew. Cheers mate! BTW - the pic was taken later so is not a spoiler. Quote Link to comment

+harrogate hunters Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Not quite caught, but I was wandering around on a top of a hill in my suit looking for a place to pop a cache box and obviously looking suspicious The people are now known as The Dipsticks and have done loads of caches !
