+Alboy Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I wish I'd been paying more attention, but at about 5.45pm Chris Evans was asking a female listener what she'd do if she had an unexpected day off - her answer? A lie in from the kids then out geocaching!! I think her name was Sian, but as I say, I wasn't really concentrating til that point! Anyone else hear it? Who is the mystery cacher!?

+Gushoneybun Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Snap I heard it as well but like you was not paying much attention. You got the name correct though. Quote Link to comment
+ClareLouise Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Can you listen back on the radio 2 website? Not sure, I haven't got time to check it out, but I think you might be able to! Quote Link to comment
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Can you listen back on the radio 2 website? Not sure, I haven't got time to check it out, but I think you might be able to! Yes, you can. I've just had a listen. About 42 minutes into the programme Sian Green in a big blue Merc was stuck in traffic on the A417 gives the mention. Chris Evans didn't bat an eyelid just a quick cheerio. Bet he wondered what she was talking about. Quote Link to comment
+Bambography Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Can you listen back on the radio 2 website? Not sure, I haven't got time to check it out, but I think you might be able to! About 43mins into the listen again on the website. Nothing more said than was stated by the OP. So, the next question, who is Sian???? Quote Link to comment
+scottpa100 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Where's the A417? I know that will be between the A4 and the A5. But where I am, that could be somewhere between south Wales and north Wales! But her name was Sian.... that's a Welsh name! Ooooooo. Quote Link to comment

But where I am, that could be somewhere between south Wales and north Wales! But her name was Sian.... that's a Welsh name! Ooooooo. Think you are a bit too far West, the A417 runs through Wantage in Oxfordshire, sort of Reading area to Cirencester, know it very well. Heard the programme, stuck on the M62 in the lorry drivers fuel protest, and yep I though "geocaching" and expected a Chris Evans comment, "What's Geocaching?" but nothing.

+Gushoneybun Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 A quick trawl of caches in the area and I found: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=7a...a7-c6dab0110223 Quote Link to comment
+Alboy Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Good spot Gushoneybun, bet that's our person! Anyone know her to ask?! Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well Psychosian last logged at the weekend. Why not contact her through the profile link.. Actually, I shall send her a link to this and let her decide if she wants to be 'outed'... Quote Link to comment
+tteggod trackers Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Roadworks on the A417 at the causeway on the A40. Maybe these are the roadworks 2 miles from Sians house? Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well Psychosian last logged at the weekend. Why not contact her through the profile link.. Actually, I shall send her a link to this and let her decide if she wants to be 'outed'... Given her user name do you want to get in touch?? Only kidding Sian. Quote Link to comment
+Midnight Ramblers Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I heard it and was surprised when Chris did not ask questions about caching. I even emailed him to ask him if he knew what it was all about. No response though . We should all try to get mentioned on his show on Friday - you know the bit where you text in and say what you are planning to do. It would be quite amusing to hear loads of text messages being read out from cachers. Quote Link to comment

+The Bongtwashes Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Going back to the various Geocaching Top Ten Tunes threads from the past couple of years, perhaps we should all try to get the tracks played on All Request Friday, where you have to phone in with your requests. If anyone got through they could ask him. Quote Link to comment

+The Other Stu Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe we should all attack the blog - that might do something! Quote Link to comment
+Guanajuato Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bit like a flash mob event but on Radio 2!! Synchronize your watches! So, what's the time & what's the number to use? Maybe a quick 'virtual' event cache could be set up for everyone who gets read out Quote Link to comment
wolfshead57 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Email the programe now via the Radio 2 website and ask him to set up a virtual cache if enough do it they will come, or mention it. Quote Link to comment
+Turkey Trotter Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) So, what's the time & what's the number to use? Maybe a quick 'virtual' event cache could be set up for everyone who gets read out Send your txt to 88291 (between 17:00 & 19:00) Unfortunately I cannot access the radio2 website from work (blocked because it's possible to listen to the radio) so I can't give you the number for phoning in requests.

+Psychosian Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) How funny!! Hee hee!! Fame at last!!!!! It was indeed me - Psychosian, and no I'm not that bad, only 'psycho' in a nice way! Apart from the fact that I really genuinely would go caching on an unexpected day off, part of it was because I like to tell everyone possible about it cos I think it's the best thing ever. I thought he might ask what it was - I can't imagine he's the sort that would do it and therefore know! I totally agree that we should get something on R2 about it. Ooo... how exciting!! [ETA: And thanks to careygang for the PM!] Edited June 21, 2008 by Psychosian Quote Link to comment
+Madyokel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) OK then lets do it.. Time 1700 this Friday 27th so all the text come in over the news when the Ginger one is probably most likely to look at them. Flash mob stylee but I'm afraid you will have to sign the log at the large event up north.. We cannot make it official unless we all wait for the 2 weeks minimum for an event. By the way.. Well done Sian Edited June 21, 2008 by Madyokel Quote Link to comment

I think the phone number is 0500 288291 So, 5pm Friday it is then when we all contact the show....lets inundate him!! Quote Link to comment
+Psychosian Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Excellent plan!! I emailed them a couple of days ago and got a response from Helen Thomas, the Exec Producer of the Chris Evans show saying they'll 'take it into consideration' (doing something about Geocaching) 'when discussing upcoming topics for the show'!
