+Rose_Thorn Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Just wondering, because I put a new cache out over a week ago and no-one has found it yet...it's not like it's out in the backwoods or anything...although...actually, it is Bury... Quote
+Write and Mane Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 We had a FTF today and it was definitely better than Christmas Shopping!! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 No contest, caching wins every time! That's why I was out caching on the busiest shopping day! Quote
EagleOwl Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 I had a similar dilema the other day - a FTF within walking distance of the house OR my daughters school Xmas concert Cliffe Challange Not sure whether I felt any beter when I tipped off my other half, Geoffenator and he picked up the FTF!!

+The Bolas Heathens Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 A FTF without a question (absolutely hate Christmas shopping). It's #2 on our closest to home not founds and if we lived vaguely close to it instead of 56.5 miles away we'd be at it like a shot Quote

Caches dont last a week across here.... but this is Yorkshire... you are on the wrong side of the pennines in Lancashire !!! Happy Christmas to all....

lakeuk Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I'd say the main reason someone hasn't rushed out to FTF your cache yet is because it won't be fully on everyones radar as being a new cache as it was enabled on the 7 December, but it's listed as being hidden on 4th November. Quote
+The Bongtwashes Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 150 miles away... Hmmm, a bit far for a Sunday before breakfast, or a quick lunchtime trip, even for me . Quote
+*mouse* Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Definately caching..... Unless you can find a few urban micros at the same time or you happen to be out shopping for GPS stuff! Quote

Caches round by you are lucky if they last 24hrs! Quote
+pirate_matt Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I think caching is the way forward. I picked up a FTF this morning. it's much better being out on a quiet peaceful walk then pushing your way through crowds of peoplr in the shops!! Quote
+Mr'D Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 What's more important?, Christmas shopping or an FTF? Are you SERIOUS???????? Quote
+Rose_Thorn Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 Hehe...well. thanks to Langden my new cache no longer has to bear its shame! I now have a dilemma myself - write Christmas cards or go out caching....hmmm, let's get those co-ordinates on the GPSr then.... Quote
+stora Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I hate all the rushing around and the pushing and the shoving. As well as the car parking spaces being full. Well that's whats its like trying to get a FTF around here. Give me Christmas shopping any time Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 I'd say the main reason someone hasn't rushed out to FTF your cache yet is because it won't be fully on everyones radar as being a new cache as it was enabled on the 7 December, but it's listed as being hidden on 4th November. This is a good point. The date that gets put on the page is the date that you first make the page up. If it takes over a month to get it all sorted before you submit it, the only people that will get it flagged as being published are those that have insta notifies activated for the area. The generated bot that comes weekly relies on the date on the cache page, if it's not classed as a new cache because of an old date, it won't flag up in that email either. So if you have a cache page that has taken a while to put together, make sure you change the 'date placed' before submitting it. Caching comes before shopping for me too, it's a lot cheaper. Quote
+Nellies Knackers Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Sorry but I don't understand the original question, what is christmas shopping? Bah Humbug!!! Quote
+currykev Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Easy....caching is the answer.I can do my shopping at the same time as I log onto this site.Happy Xmas from Currykev thanks to Amazon.co.uk ....(I apologise for the blatant plug) Quote
+kewfriend Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) an FTF! I'm trawling around to see if anyone wants to pop over to Annecy via Geneva for the day to do a Puzzle FTF (which has been around since October) - up in the hills. Much more fun than shopping. GCYXXJ - if anyone else wants to try and work it out! Drop me an email if you're as mad as I am. Edited December 18, 2006 by kewfriend Quote
