Google Earth Gives Me A New Excuse For A Dnf

[+Pieman]

I've just been playing with the new Google Earth/ geocache prog. I have recently failed twice at ac-p's Suspension cache which (allegedly) is on a bridge across the Dee in Chester. What do I find: it isn't! It is in the Dee and keeps moving about as I watch! No wonder I couldn't find it. I suppose it could be a problem with the programme but I prefer my explanation.

A difficult cache to find.

 

But there maybe a problem with Google earth and the cache positions. One of our caches isn't even displayed on it .

Was the tide coming in at the time?

If you are using the KML from the "Download Geocache browser in Google Earth" link, Groundspeak actually randomize the data .. so the caches will jump around quite a bit. They'd rather you used pocket queries.

What was particularly odd was that as I watched the screen the cache hopped about from one position to another in the Dee every 30 secs or so!
