Take a look at the Groundspeak forums as they were in 2001 here.

 

Oh how our sport has developed!

in those days there were only 2 caches in the whole of Scotland! Oh yes times have changed, and very quickly indeed!

Ah! Memories I started this obsession back in February 2001 and within a few months the whole country was closed down by Foot and Mouth. Bloomin' frustrating I tell you.

3 Actually, Two in St Andrews, Fife and the First in Scotland.

 

Round trip of about 500 miles to get all three but as I said in my origional post I had problems. Car goes better with intact cylinder head gasket :sad:

Yes, and the first cache I found was in an Foot and Mouth exclusion zone and I only found out when I left the site having entered by a legitimate route which gave no indication that I was entering an exclusion zone!

Not surprised it blew a gasket trying to drive up Ben More... I nearly blew one and I was just walking (staggering / crawling)

One wonders why you needed the wayback machine to find this thread on page 236 of this very forum perhaps a bump is in order

See any old topics that deserve a bump.

 

Interesting to note that every new UK cache was announced on the forums back then

Quite a confession! If you trace the pattern of the outbreak, does it match your finds? Now we know how it spread so fast.
