Timfy Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Set a new cache today at 11:00. Submitted the listing at around 12:15. Checked back a wee bit later and not only was it listed, but Sharpset had already claimed it as a FTF. This was at 14:15!! Is this a record or have you had an even faster find. PS Great work Lactodorum... do you never leave your PC Quote
+The Golem Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I think I did it with one of Scaw's - it was listed about 7pm and I'd found it by about 7.45 Quote
+MarcoXono Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 My fastest (I think) was a multi, 6 miles away: Published 10:57, found 11:40 Quote

PS Great work Lactodorum... do you never leave your PC Sandra reckons I can't tell the time and it was actually 15.15, but we were still quick. Just lucky to spot the listing and live just 2 miles away! (Plus you have to be quick to beat Subarite and Dogastus in these parts...)! Pete Quote
+The Bolas Heathens Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 35 mins from publishing to FTF for us is our best so far. I even had time to sync my Palm with the details . Quote
+Gordy n Steph Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 24 minutes but it was just down the road this cache Quote
Timfy Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 (Plus you have to be quick to beat Subarite and Dogastus in these parts...)! Pete I know.. I'm never going to get a FTF with you lot around I suppose I may as well get used to being the Tim Henman of caching... always nearly but never quite making it! Quote
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Our (or really my as Boba was tucked up in bed fast asleep) was GCVMY5 which is 11.6km from home. Was just meant to be poping around the corner to get some milk but seemed like a good excuse to pop just that little bit further. Quote
+stora Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) Just done one tonight 24 mins from publishing to FTF. then came home and bagged a 2nd FTF in about 40 mins Edited August 6, 2006 by stora Quote
+webscouter. Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 I have one that I found and logged 29 minutes from the publish time. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...a9-309f7217e4b2 I think it was about 12 minutes from publish to find. Quote
+Moote Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Emmmmm, these FTF do appear to place people in situations that could cause danger to them and others. Looks like one or 2 people exceed the speed limits of the UK! One reason i'm never going to be an FTF bagger. Quote

+maxkim Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Several of Harrogate Hunters FTF cache finds must rank.... If you live in the Harrogate area you have to be there within 2 hours unless he's away at the time. Quote

What I really want to know and I probably speak for the silent ones on this forum is : Who appointed Moote as the health and safety representative of the activity of geocaching or did he take it upon himself to trawl the caches placed, FTF activity and probably anything generally stightly ambitious relating to this hobby and find his soapbox and moan???? STEPS BACK AND LIGHTS THE BLUE TOUCHPAPER !!! (OR FAILING THAT CATCHES ALL TEDDIES CHUCKED OUT OF PRAMS!!) Quote

May be! but what is the speed limit for running to the local park You really shouldn't run. What happen if you trip and fall? It is also very dangerous. Perhaps you should wear a crash helmet, elbow pads and knee pads. You could also carry a first aid kit you never know when you will need it. I also always carry spare clean knickers just in case.

+Maple Leaf Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 My only FTF (so far) was so fast, that the cache owner was still on site checking co-ordinates! Even though he had submitted it the day before, he didn't realise it had been published - so was shocked when we turned up. It was also the first cache he had set - so he was pleased that we were succesful in finding it. Quote
