+ryme-intrinseca Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hello, Just had to tell everyone, I'm quite pleased as the Welsh Mensa magazine have decided to publish my article about Geocaching. How many people will read it I don't know - the Welsh magazine is sent out along with the national one, so perhaps people just chuck it away without reading it - I'm not sure! Anyway - even if only a handful of people see it, I thought it might be interesting to share info about our hobby. And I have to be honest, I'm quite looking forward to seeing my name in print. Yay!

Nediam Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oh great that's all we need! A load of super intelligent newcomers, setting impossible puzzle caches!!! Seriously though, well done on getting it published Any chance you can post a copy of it here, or create a link to it? Quote Link to comment
+ryme-intrinseca Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Hehe, high IQ maybe, but that doesn't mean Mensa members have any common sense! I am absolutely rubbish with puzzle caches, it took me four months to work out the 'Compare/Contrast' cache co-ordinates. There is a newish cache near my home in Swansea 'Display valuable lettered arithmetic' it's called - I can work out that this refers to the DVLA, but what the co-ordinates are... no idea whatsoever!! Pride comes before a fall, as they say, so knowing my luck, they'll change their mind at the last minute and decide not to print it. But if they do, I'll put a copy here. Will people slate me too much though, as I have mentioned one of my own caches in it?! Edited March 21, 2006 by ryme-intrinseca Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 .....Will people slate me too much though, as I have mentioned one of my own caches in it?! I shouldn't think anyone will mind Good luck with getting it published. Quote Link to comment

Have a good search of the DVLA web site, thats where I found the answer - not done the cache itself yet though Quote Link to comment
+The Golem Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Well done on getting your article published!! I picked up George Fisher's in house magazine yesterday who are also running an article on Geocaching - here's a link. (For those who don't know, Fisher's is an outdoor shop here in Keswick.) Edited to add: it's on page 6! Edited March 21, 2006 by The Golem Quote Link to comment
+ryme-intrinseca Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Ooh, thank you! See, that proves my point. Everyone can do these puzzle caches except me! I didn't even think of looking at the website, that would have been waay too logical. Edited March 21, 2006 by ryme-intrinseca Quote Link to comment

+ryme-intrinseca Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Any last requests? You have to forgive me for being paranoid - on some of the message boards I belong to (e.g. Sims 2 - anyone play that game?), people just can't wait for an opportunity to make negative comments about other users!

Nediam Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 ...I picked up George Fisher's in house magazine yesterday who are also running an article on Geocaching - here's a link. .... Quite a nice little article. Like the idea of ending at a Jennings pub! Hmmm, Cocker Hoop, Sneck Lifter and Cumberland Ale. Quote Link to comment

Good heavens! Do they? That would never happen in here! MrsB (Well done on your article ) Quote Link to comment
+Zetetic Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Sorry Zetetic. Did another of your caches on Sunday, enjoyed it a lot - forgive me? No forgiveness required from me, it's only a cache I suppose... and you still have to find it. Congratulations on the geo article btw. Quote Link to comment

+mollyjak Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Can I add the - DVLA puzzle is easy compared to actually FINDING it. Although I can recommend it as we enjoyed this cache Thanks Zetetic Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Will people slate me too much though, as I have mentioned one of my own caches in it?! You only mentioned one? I done a radio interview last year, and I took the presenter to two of my caches. Quote Link to comment
