Another Chance For Tv Fame

[Lactodorum]

Groundspeak has been contacted by an Australian TV company with the following:

Hi there,

 

I am wondering if you can help ... I work for the LifeStyle Channel in Australia and am researching content for a proposed series about technology and lifestyle, called 'iLiving'. For one of our episodes, we are doing a feature about GPS, and as part of that feature, we are wanting to do a segment about Geo-caching. This segment will be shot in London (as we also want to incorporate navigating the streets of London with GPS navigation into the story). So, since we will be there, we are hoping to interview a keen geo-cacher (one who likes to find them or create them or both!) whilst having them take our presenter on a geo-cache hunt (hopefully to find an interesting or surprising geo-cache).

 

Do you know anybody in London that would fit this bill - an 'expert', so to speak. If so, could you contact him/her on our behalf, or could you give me contact details to be able to approach him/her?

 

Thanks for your assisance!

So if anyone fits the bill and wants to give it a go, drop me an e-mail to lactodorum@gmail.com and I'll let you have her contact details. Unfortunately I don't have an e-mail address at the moment but I have phone numbers etc.

Nope.

 

Not here yet!

I thought they'd rather have a Londoner. If no one else shows an interest, I dare say Mr. L. will be in touch as I'm easily talked into these things

Whoever does it should "do" the Last Delivery, GCGBGB, great spot, always a bug or two there, plus the added advantage of having Closer / Natalie Portman film link - geocaching taking people to interesting places etc.

Let's think about this though, Although this is a foreign broadcast we will be advertising a cache location to many muggles. Last Delivery is the last cache that I would want the general public to know about.

 

Perhaps it would be better to look at one of the many caches north of London.

'If I were doing it' and having just watched Closer, I'd love to come to that garden again... with a micro in my pocket for a bit of TV magic style trickery. Or somewhere else 'televisual' where a fake could be dropped and grabbed without endangering a real cache site.

[nobby.nobbs]

just find a fake cache that you put out that morning... that way no worries of giving a muggle an easy find

[+lordelph]

I faked the final location for the TV spot I did last month - the magic of television

 

Incidentally, my wife has been stopped about ten times since it went out, even a week or so later while shopping in Tescos, by people wanting to know more!

I would have to say that if you are looking for a cacher in london who has found loads and hidden loads it should be Siloans!!

[+siloans]

I will do it if you want 173 hidden in and around london London letterbox and found 838 around the south east of England simon siloans

ps i have been down under 4 times

Perhaps someone should find Bloodshed and Tears and give the FTF honours to the TV crew

Actually SP was the first volunteer so he got the job. Thanks to everyone else who either volunteered or were volunteered by others
