White Jeep To Be Set Free In The Uk.

This is the 300th post :unsure:

Be nice to have a green jeep icon or a red one. Id like to see a yellow and a white one in the same cache to see what the icons look like next to each other.

That can be arranged :unsure:

Nice one! It's a shame I couldn't get down there in the cave with you today Martyn. I hope to some time soon though.....

Nice one Marytn

I think that Stonefisk has a real blue one that he goes everywhere in, a real off roader enthusiast that's for sure. Trying to find some of his caches since we swopped the Maverick for a Fiesta can be quite daunting!! Power to the White and Yellow!

I think I read somewhere that there is ancient law along the lines "Thou shalt not call ye Landrover a Jeep or ye suffer paine offe death"

Blue ? BLUE ? Nato Green or Nato Black depending on what tin of paint I "cleaned" the LANDROVER with that month.

Where's the Landrover Bugs ?

January 17, 2006

Where's the Landrover Bugs?

<_< Yeah, lets have our very own UK only bugs! Anyone here friendly with the Landrover Corp? :blink:

Actually I know the head of marketing for Land Rover UK and (until he changed job a couple of months ago) also the head of marketing for Guinness. You meet all sorts of people dressed up as a Roundhead, you know! <_<

Next time I see them, I will be sure to mention it.

well you've started something now alibags, we await the good news... <_<

January 18, 2006

Brrrrrrrrmm! Brrrrrrrrrmmmmmm!

Hush now 'Esmond', I'm trying to tell everyone about our plans for the weekend. I know as a White Jeep, you're just itching to get out in the wilds again but you'll have to be patient. It won't be long 'till Saturday and we'll let you loose again, just be patient. I'll bet our fellow cachers are filling their tanks and making their sandwiches, in preparation for a Sunday morning showdown.

Come on back in the garage with you...

two people, not one person with two jobs!! :laughing:

Could of sworn it was blue in the picture last year when you found the bit of tank tracking and were chuffed to bits. Incidentally is it IR Nato Green and Black? Must try your Cherhill Wood sometime, yet another off road Wiltshire By-Way. Still power to the Jeeps and Landrovers. Come on Ali asked Cromwell if he would sponsor 100 Landrover TB's for us 'Brits'!! :lol:

January 19, 2006

also the head of marketing for Guinness.

Forget the Landrover bug idea, lets have a Beer Bug!

I will certainly mention it when I next see them. Don't have their numbers to ring them up and nag them. Probably a GOOD thing!

January 21, 2006

Esmond (White Jeep) released today. I'm looking forward to seeing who is quick enough to grab him next...

January 22, 2006

I don't get it.

3.3k · January 22, 2006

I don't get it.

It's a tricky puzzle! Good job I've had that WJ, or I'd be tearing my hair out by now. It's the third closest unfound cache to my home!

January 24, 2006

Well, that didn't go according to plan did it ? :lol:

Not to worry... I'm sure Icarus will drop that white jeep back into another devlishly tricky puzzle cache!

January 24, 2006

Regardless of our recent 'sleepless nights' experience trying to solve 'Ethel and Maude' I just know I will get drawn in... :lol:

January 26, 2006

Brilliant story, collected a white jeep in W-S-M today to be released Bristol soon. Hope you collect airmiles with shell!

January 27, 2006

Bristol ! Bristol !, its coming nearer to the county of Wiltshire, this could be exciting yet! Just a hop to Bath and then a hop into our wonderful county, get ready Gowenhouse it may be headed for one of your caches! :lol:

January 28, 2006

Picked up 'Orson' today from a 13-stage multi at the Museum of Welsh Life in St Fagans. We were sure it would have gone by now as it'd been there a week, but we were fortunate enough to lay our hands on it!

Now to find a challenging new home for him. Considering setting up a gruelling new multi of our own and placing Orson for the FTF []

White Jeeps "Preston" and "Esmond" are due to have a reunion at a 5/5 cache (AMADEUS) in Devon tonight :mad: :mad:

Stuey you tease, you know I'm getting married at the weekend! There is no way Nettie will let me go caching :mad:

That's okay, it might still be there on Saturday night. You can both put a hold on consummation until the white jeep is yours, can't you? hehe

Have a GREAT wedding day both of you!

January 30, 2006

Can I ask without getting my head blown off, why having a White Jeep in your possesion means it HAS to be placed in a 5/5 or difficult mystery cache instead of a normal traditional cache.

What is wrong with putting it in a "normal" cache?

3.3k · January 30, 2006

It doesn't have to be.... I just chose to :mad:

If anyone really needs a white Jeep icon, there are plenty at most events.

January 30, 2006

The white jeep I dropped off in my 5/5 cache GC462E over the weekend will probably be there for months,there have only been 11 visits in nearly 4 years,and none in the winter apart from myself.

Fair enough comment Stu. But not everyone attends meets.

If you look at most movements of white jeeps in the devon area, they invairably end up in a 5/5 or mystery. Which a lot of the more casual cachers dont bother with or cannot do. Just seems to me that it is keeping the jeep in a more select group.

The Jeep I retrieved from Wiltshire was just a standard offset which anyone could find and indeed produced a good race between myself and Kittyhawk. However putting them in the more difficult caches all the while is stopping cachers that either cannot decypher codes etc, or go down cliffs/caves from finding them.

And this is not a go at any one person in particular more a general request to give less able cachers a chance to find them.

surely such a special tb or special coin deserves to be placed somewhere equally special if you really want it you`ll make the effort to get it.

If you can`t mange it by yourself you can always team up with another cacher who is able.This is one way to meet more fellow cachers

But TB's are put out to travel from cache to cache so why put them in caches that may not be visited so often as Fellsmanhiker has as in above post (and this isnt a go at him). If its put in the easier caches it travels further and more cachers get to grab it and get the icon.

I agree with the statement, but far to often special is being equated to difficult.

Glad to see that the one on the loose in S. Wales is going to caches that are special because people enjoyed them, rather than being too difficult for 95% of cachers.

Each to his/her own though.

January 30, 2006

have been working with greg a.ka. Bud Lightbeer on Amadeus,have recieved confirmation we are right.Would love to get our hands on 2 white jeeps.It makes all our hard work worth it even more,but are prepared to wait till Greg can do it with us,even if it means missing out on them.
