+NickandAliandEliza Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Going caching / walking / white water rafting near Loch Lomond in a couple of weeks. Firstly can anyone recommend any good caches? Secondly, I'll be going up Ben Lomond and this reminded of the website where you can log the peaks you've climbed. Only problem is I don't remember what it was called. It was done by the Trigpointing / GeocacheUk guys if I remember rightly........... Edited April 24, 2008 by Nick & Ali Quote Link to comment

This isn't the one you mention, but it's the one I'd use - I must get round to logging my summits too. Sorry if you're one of those that gets deeply offended by such things. Quote Link to comment

There's also www.hill-bagging.co.uk/ - I don't actually use if for logging but it has good resources. Quote Link to comment
+Dobunnis Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Going caching / walking / white water rafting near Loch Lomond in a couple of weeks. Firstly can anyone recommend any good caches? Just to the north of Lock Lomond is Ben More and half way up is Scotland's first (GC0F), the oldest cache in the UK with some stunning views. Mind you, it may depend on the weather as to how much fun you have! Helen Quote Link to comment

markandlynn Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Waterfall and Ruin - fantastic cache Death of power - stunningly good we stayed near there last year Ice house good Glenbogle country Lots of great caches. For a micro neptunes staircase is good Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The scenery is so great around Loch Lomond that any cache is good. Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Fair few caches, trigs, hills to bag in that area:- Quote Link to comment
Sagina nivalis Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Great map, lakeuk! How was it done? Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Great map, lakeuk! How was it done? I've got a database that holds the details before, the data is then plotted on google map using a combination of php, javascript and mysql - it all runs on a standalone webserver thats held on a USB flashdrive which I can use anywhere with a PC and internet access (ie home / work) It's still a work in progress though:- Geocaches Trig Points Wainwrights Wainwright Outlying Fells Marilyns SubMarilyns Deleted Marilyns Marilyn Twin Peaks Munros Munro Tops Deleted Munro Tops Corbetts Corbett Tops of Munro Corbett Tops of Corbett Deleted Corbetts Grahams SubGrahams Donalds Donald Tops Deleted Donald Tops Murdos SubMurdos Hewitts SubHewitts Nuttalls Deleted Nuttalls Buxton & Lewis Dewey Birketts Edited July 1, 2008 by lakeuk Quote Link to comment
Sagina nivalis Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Very neat! I have a GIS based thing which gets me by, but it's not pretty. Trigs ... but no lakeuk username on TrigpointingUK? Birketts - any chance of a copy? Now that the LDWA Hillwalkers Register has opened an account on these I ought to get round to upgrading my Wainwrights list... Quote Link to comment
lakeuk Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I've not offically started logging the trigs, not sure yet if I'll be doing it online PM me your email address and I'll send a CSV of the Birketts, I need to update it as I didn't have gps references for 19 birketts but it looks like my source (link below) has now got the gps ref for all now bar 1. http://www.stridingedge.net/Birkett%20Fell...by%20height.htm I was thinking at some point making my google map application available online.
