+DHJ&P Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Aber-cachers - Geocaching in Wales ...................but we were interviewed by Radio Wales a couple of weeks ago and have a full half hour show dedicated to geocaching on the radio next weekend. Al. Country Focus, Radio Wales, Sunday 24th August, 0730, or hear it on line after transmission for one week via the Country Focus website. The whole 28 minute programme shows geocaching in a very positive light. Well done to those who took part. Dave. Quote

The whole 28 minute programme shows geocaching in a very positive light. Well done to those who took part. Dave. Excellent news - I wonder if Radio Wales can be picked up from Flat Holm... ? Actually, if all goes well, we'll be on our way in the car at that time - a great introduction to an otherwise rather early day of caching! I'll also have to ensure that TiVo records it for me.

+The Blorenges Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Just bumping this as a reminder that it's on tomorrow (Sunday 24th August) morning. MrsB Quote
+little-miss-naughty Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 wow thats cool do you think i can pick it up in germany?????. oh well looks like ill have to listen on line when i get home lmn Quote
+DHJ&P Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 The best way to hear this outside Wales is via Sky - more details here. If you miss the programme at 0730 tomorrow, then you can hear it again via here. Dave Quote
+Just Roger Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Excellent program, well done to all. I listened on the website and so could follow the cache sheets and maps - as well as the deep discussion about the (non-existent) hint on one of the caches. It should do a lot for geocaching. Quote
+Maple Leaf Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Just started listening to it now .... didn't realise it was also Red Kite doing it ..... oohhh, my 'MEGA Fox Hunt team mate' ... I know someone famous Well done to you two .... Edited August 24, 2008 by Maple Leaf Quote
+The Blorenges Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Another "Well done" to Red Kite and forcesofnature. We listened to it too - very good. MrsB Quote
The Red Kite Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Just started listening to it now .... didn't realise it was also Red Kite doing it ..... oohhh, my 'MEGA Fox Hunt team mate' ... I know someone famous Well done to you two .... It sounded really funny hearing it on the radio. I have to admit it was VERY heavily edited Anyone want my autograph? Quote
+Mad H@ter Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Excellent, well done guys BTW we have the TB, it has suddenly taken on a more special significance now that we have heard about it on the radio, is this now a celeb TB Quote
+DHJ&P Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 Those listening to Country Focus on line, may have noticed the start of the programme was missing. This was corrected today and the full programme can now be heard via this link. Don't forget, the geocaching programme will only be available on line until Sunday 31st August - so don't miss your chance to hear it. Sadly, it looks like the first cache they visited - Rainbow Series Yellow has been muggled. However, the Radio Wales keyring TB is travelling well! Dave Quote
+sTeamTraen Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Great programme - the length really allowed the fun aspects to come through. My 87-year-old father-in-law listened to it in Swansea and now understands what his daughter has been on about all this time. Quote
+Mad H@ter Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) However, the Radio Wales keyring TB is travelling well! It certainly is, we dropped it off near Burton Upon Trent today . Edited August 27, 2008 by Mad H@ter Quote
The Red Kite Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Maybe I will come across it again at the weekend. Edited August 28, 2008 by The Red Kite Quote
+The Longdogs Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks for pointing this out. I put it on my MP3 player and listened in the car. I thought it was a very good introduction to geocaching for anyone who has not heard of or tried it before. Very entertaining too. Edited August 28, 2008 by wildlifewebcam Quote
+DHJ&P Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 Today's the last chance to hear this geocaching programme on line - it will be replaced with the next programme at 0800 on Sunday 31st August. It can be heard from via the BBC Wales Country Focus web site. Dave Quote
+DHJ&P Posted December 27, 2008 Author Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Sunday's "Country Focus" programme, 0730, 28th December, on BBC Radio Wales, will be repeating some of last year's highlights. This includes clips from August's half hour programme on Geocaching and some "follow ups". http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/radiowales/site.../20081228.shtml For those not up at 0730 on a Sunday, it will be on the BBC I-player for one week. A happy new year to everyone. Dave and Pat. Edited December 27, 2008 by David H. Jones & Pat Quote
+Kelsborrow Wayfinders Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Just been listening to the Country Focus programme on iplayer. I was the lucky person interviewed as current holder of the Radio Wales TB. Quote
+UKCacheMag Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00g4...cus_28_12_2008/ skip forward to 22:20 Quote
+sonatellas Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Oh I am glad they repeated this. I really wanted to hear it. Well done guys. Quote
