+steviep Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 A local respected cacher/event organiser has come up with a great idea Motorway Mayhem he is hoping to get this nation wide, so any one placing a driveby cache along any stretch of motorway might want to consider his site Quote
+rutson Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Keep you eyes peeled on J22-J25 M62. When you working Steve? I'll get 'em approved just before your shift Quote
+Skate and Jane Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I guess you mean something like this then:- GCP90A Quote
+steviep Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Keep you eyes peeled on J22-J25 M62. When you working Steve? I'll get 'em approved just before your shift I've just retired Ian, no only kidding erm! junc 22 onwards, that looks good to me, thanks for the heads up mate! Quote
+steviep Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 I guess you mean something like this then:- GCP90A Yes that is what he want's I think, I wonder if they would consider adding that to his site, with a prefix "Motorway Mayhem" in the name of the cache! Quote
+HazelS Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I'm hoping to do some of this series en route to the big love in!! Quote
+Alibags Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Excellent idea, there are quite a few M1 motorway junction caches already in place though, and if these could be added, this would be a very useful rescource. Quote
+milvus-milvus Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 See KiwiGary's M1 Drive-by adventure bookmarks. Quote
+adambro Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) Hey!!! Don't you be stealing the first to find chances! Junction 22/23 would be nice though. Oh and nearly a bus route and published during the day when everyone else will be working, that would be even better. Edited January 27, 2006 by adambro Quote
+Alibags Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 There already is a Junction 23 cache and dash and it looks like it's on a bus route to me. Midn you, if somebody places another one (towards Shepshed perhaps) I will be after it with enthusiasm! Quote
+badger Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 See my profile for my motorway Madness series... although the final and the bonus caches are not near a motorway. Matt Quote
+rutson Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 They are near motorways, yes, but not easy drive-bys near motorway junctions. Quote
+adambro Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 There already is a Junction 23 cache and dash and it looks like it's on a bus route to me. Yeah, did it last summer. Couldn't see a bookmark list of M62 drivebys so just started putting one together, not loads that look suitable. M62 Drive-bys Quote
+Alice Band Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Would service stations qualify? I might be persuaded to place one in the Leicester Forest East service station Quote
+sTeamTraen Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 But how will you stop Moote from going after them on foot ? Quote
+steviep Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 Another 3 added last night and more to follow Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Hmm Mongoose wonders how this could be used Quote
+Moote Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Hmm Mongoose wonders how this could be used So does Moote Quote
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Has a good idea how they maybe used..... and is near the starting point.... Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Has a good idea how they maybe used..... and is near the starting point.... It is isnt it. Now who is up to something Mongoose wonders Quote
+adambro Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 adambro wonders what people are going on about?! Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 Looks like someone is going for the counties record and preparing caches for it. But I could be wrong Quote
+HazelS Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 I have a great location RIGHT next to the M53.... Quote
+steviep Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 Looks like someone is going for the counties record and preparing caches for it. But I could be wrong No! someone ain't going for the counties records someone is trying to provide a good series of cache's along a few boring motorways to break others journeys up! my advice to you is wait till there all planted then retain your title Quote

Till there is another cache in Rutland Yes, fuel think that came in at over £200; I know my reciepts add up to £114.34, but I think ther might be a Mars Bar on that! Quote
+steviep Posted January 29, 2006 Author Posted January 29, 2006 I think most cache's in 24hrs may be possible, but I'm to impatient to wait! Quote
alistair_uk Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 For what it is worth this is a great idea. I notice that the A1 link is not currently working and I don’t think that it is me (although I give no guarantees). What about making the list a bit more dynamic like adding the time to do that cache and possibly grouping some together and fluffing them as the 40min diversion for example. Reflection on it I am just confusing things for no reason, please ignore me. Quote
+Black Pig & the Piglets Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Would service stations qualify? I might be persuaded to place one in the Leicester Forest East service station Which side are you considering, North bound or south? I only ask as Alice Band has already approached me about placing a cache at the services. Perhaps you could do one each, could you contact her & decide amongst yourselves who is to do what? Thanks for your interest though DaveH aka Black Pig BTW the A1 link now works, my fault sorry! Quote
+rutson Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Working on M62, J22,23,24,25. Been out scouting today. Quote
+marknhelen Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 This is the best idea since the invention of the GPS. I travel the country every week and am always dressed in a suit, so quick and easy drive-bys are excellent. Its not always a good idea to visit a client with muddy shoes and twigs hanging off the suit. I have already downloaded some for tommorrows trip to Kent. Quote
+Yorkypudding Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Hi, These Motorway Mayhem caches are a great idea, and I have 2. but I was thinking that no one will ever get to where they are going they will be too busy caching lol. We will now need excuses to why we are late and covered in foliage, mud and dog do lol, there will be lots of broken down cars I reckon. Yorkypuddingxx Quote
+Yorkypudding Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Hi, Glad you enjoyed the Motorway Mayhem caches that you have done up north Mark and Helen. Yorkypuddingxx Quote
+marknhelen Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I must admit my 4 hour drive was stretched to 6 hours to get 6 caches found and 1 DNF on the way. Luckilly I am going the same way again next week to get the rest. Quote
+Black Pig & the Piglets Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Well, the MM series has taken off, there are now 25 in the series in just a couple of weeks. There are now caches on the M1, A1, M62, M4 & M56. We still need many more volunteers to set caches on their "patch" If anyone is interested please visit here Motorway Mayhem for links & help. Thanks DaveH aka Black Pig Quote
+HazelS Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 There will be another VERY soon - off the M53 Quote
+steviep Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 There are also 4 placed on the M18, just waiting for me to put them forward for review Quote
alistair_uk Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I have just noticed that several Motorway Mayhem caches have been added that are member only caches. Granted I do not have premium membership so son not be considered neutral, but to me it does go against open all welcoming ethos some what. Can we make a gentleman’s rule that Motorway Mayhem caches cannot be member only? Doing otherwise will mean that you cannot complete a section of then, or the set for that matter without paying money. Quote

It's just the way I play the game Quote

+Laughalot Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 ooo I like this idea - Will be travelling to Hartlepool in the next couple of weeks so it will be good to break the journey up - cheers folks. Laughalot Quote

+sTeamTraen Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Why does the map at www.rutson.com/mm show motorways in the Turin area ? Quote
+rutson Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Ah, that'll be expansion into the "Autostrada Anarchy" series. Edited February 7, 2006 by rutson Quote
+The Cache Hoppers Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 We'll sort something for J12 M4 plus the eastbound and westbound services nearby in due course. Quote
alistair_uk Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 What about a cache off the A1(M) around Washington, Tyne and Wear? Technically it is a motorway grade "A" road but I have a location in mind, so what do you think? Quote
