+CrazyL200 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Just for the fun of it, I've created a bookmark list of all the caches on the Wirral. Wirral Caches This was done by using Caches along a route, with no filters and a search distance of 4.5 miles either side of the route. The things we do when bored !!! Should be out caching, not stuck in front of a pc on a Saturday afternoon Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Well... technically anything further South than Eastham is not Wirral....but cheshire BUT I think most cachers in the area regard "the wirral caching area" to be down as far south as Chester!! Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for keeping up to date Nick. I must email Bob and see when he is free for our next day out. Quote Link to comment

BWBlackett Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Is there a way to get Google Maps to display only the caches included in a PQ? I would like to get a map of all the Caches in the Wirrel PQ so I can work out a driving route through them (all?) Any help appreciated? Brian. Part of The Jones' Quote Link to comment

Part of The Jones' Yes, but you'll need to validate your membership and become a premium member to get to the PQ pages. Each PQ then has a button to "Preview in Google Maps". Hope that helps.

Archangel_UK Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Wirral as signposted is a political definition Wirral penisula was always Cheshire with local councils and Liverpool was Lancashire before the London-based government messed about with boundaries and created these big unwieldy Metropolitan areas So.......... Wirral in that sense is as far down as the Chester boundary BTW how can I print this off as a list (checklist) ? is it possible ? Edited January 6, 2008 by Archangel_UK Quote Link to comment

Wirral in that sense is as far down as the Chester boundary BTW how can I print this off as a list (checklist) ? is it possible ? "My Wirral" boundaries for the list are purely theoretical and may move To print the list, turn it into a PQ, (button at the bottom of each page of the Bookmark list). Put the PQ into GSAK and use the sorting and printing facilities in GSAK to print yourself a table of the caches. Quote Link to comment

Wirral in that sense is as far down as the Chester boundary BTW how can I print this off as a list (checklist) ? is it possible ? As I said some time ago up there... Wirral (proper) is as far down as Junction 5 of the M53 at Eastham in the East , Gayton in the West and a wiggly line across... Hooton, Willaston and parkgate are all in Cheshire of that helps!!!! However, for caching sake - I think most of us refer to Wirral as the whole of wirral right down to Chester - just makes life FAR easier!! Quote Link to comment

Should I add the Chester and surrounding caches to the list Me thinks not Quote Link to comment
+Father Jack Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 And I have another 5 to go live within the next 2 weeks! 5 more? Is there anywhere left to put them!!! Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Lots of placdes if you know the area well.... I might not have had time to cache lately, but I've certainly had chance to read and research! Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 And I have another 5 to go live within the next 2 weeks! 5 more? Is there anywhere left to put them!!! You know I feel sorry for the person who has to review all these new caches, being shoe horned into such a short area Oh wait thats me There's loads of spaces for caches to go out in, before I start screaming STOP Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yeah there are... the only problem is that they don't tend to be on walks now, as most of those locations have been taken. I know - I'm struggling to put out a 7 part multi at the moment, I don't really want people to have to drive between the points. The 5 I have to pop out this next few weeks will all be quick and easy ones now. The Memory map of caches on wirral IS quite dense, but not so dense that Wirral is sinking - YET!
