+minxyy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 ....well was spurred on by the publication of a few new caches! when I first started caching I am sure I came across a site that was listing either OS grid points/intersections or lat/long co-ords? with either photos/cache boxes/letter boxes etc can anyone help to jog my memory? as discussing the presence of identical N and W co-ords with a couple of other cachers and am struggling to get my head round the science ;P many thankd manda Quote Link to comment

+minxyy Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 thank you so much folks looking good so far sure I wasn't going bonkers and now confirmed just sad Quote Link to comment
+parmstro Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Many thanks folks, fascinating stuff. I am one of the cachers that Manda has been talking to as I have started a series of caches called Symmetry, where the last five digits of the north and west cordinates are the same - near where I live everything starts N51, W 000, so I decided everyone knew that bit and looked for places where I could get the remaining parts identical - see Symmetry PA1 to 6 and Symmetry BH1. We are currently working on a naming convention, should anyone else want to take up the idea. Would be nice to get a series round the country / the world. Believe it or not, the whole thing was triggered by a book I have just written, which is a thriller based round gecocaching, which I am currently trying to get published - anyone know an agent / publisher?

Cheers Peter You could try Marjaq and select the marjaq scripts link. I have worked with Jacqui Lyons (the Jacq part of the name) in the past (although that was through the marjaq micro side of the business).
