davenjulie Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi everyone thanks for the warm welcome, its a great community. "I joined because I stumbled upon a geocache hidden in a wall" Hmmm. Yep nosey aint I , I was trying to get a shot of a beetle, when it went under the stone that was covering the cache, when I lifted the stone out there it was a film can, I'll just hit last post if there's no way of thread reversal, that's no problem Dave Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 "I joined because I stumbled upon a geocache hidden in a wall" Hmmm. Especially in walls? Just a couple of points i: I'd spotted the reference the first time I read the OP ii: The Wall in question is not of a Dry Stone Construction iii: The cache owner who are experienced cachers, know very well the prohibition on Dry Stone Walls and would not breach it. iv: Due to the No's who have found the cache, at least one person would have flagged up the fact if it was in a Dry Stone Wall. In many cases such issues are dealt with behind the scenes. Deceangi Quote Link to comment

He wasn't asking you in general, whether the cache was in a dry wall, he was informing Hungry caterpillars that it wasn't in a dry wall. He made reference to the wall earlier regarding the status of the wall and not to the fact that you found it in a wall!! LOL Just FYI. Oss! Also forgot to say WELCOME!

+purple_pineapple Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 SNIP... and I don't think my winter will be as boring.. not as boring, but colder! There'll be times when you feel like curling up on the sofa with a drink, and a new cache will show up - forcing you to don jumpers and waterproofs and leave the house! Welcome to all the new cachers! Quote Link to comment

MrsB No I didn't find any I looked them up and found there was quite a few, but I didn't have a GPS so not much chance really, I did see a guy with a GPS so I kept an eye on him whilst waiting for the sunset in Oia Hello to all other new members Edited September 26, 2008 by davenjulie Quote Link to comment
+Handsyhands Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hi guys and thanks for the big welcome. I started GCing with the missus in 06 but due to Mrs H getting a bit poorly, had to knock it on the head for a while. The good news is that we are gradually getting back up to speed and had a great weekend last week. Looking out of the window as I type this I can guess what we'll be upto tomorrow. BTW I don't want you all thinking I'm a fairweather cacher! LOL Quote Link to comment
