+Guanajuato Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Must learn to read questions... Hopefullly, this time my picture will work.... The cache location in the picture. I'm sure there used to be another one that would be in the picture. Must have been archived. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Aaarrgghhhh, I know where it is (stopped right in the middle of the picture on holiday once). Don't know the cache yet and GC.com is refusing to co-operate (server busy!). Quote Link to comment
+aRRKS Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 GC1G692 Tale of Two Mills - Saltaire, Shipley? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) OK, back from lunch (Lamb Korai, & 2 pints of Carlsberg in case you were wondering :-) and the server is now behaving (maybe it's had lunch too?). Anyway it's Saltaire, the mills and village were built by Titus Salt, and we moored up by the mill on our trip over the pennines on the Leeds Liverpool canal, and went in the David Hockney gallery, didn't go to the pub because there aren't any at the specific behest of Titus himself. The nearest cache is GC1G692 "Tale of Two Mills" which is currently disabled. Edit to add: Aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh beaten to it! Edited March 6, 2009 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 I spent half an hour looking for the cache on that d*mn bridge! Quote Link to comment

+Guanajuato Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Edit to add: Aaarrrrrgggghhhhhh beaten to it! Yep. And I was too busy to give the ding. But its moved on now. Though its good to know I wasn't going completely bonkers and there WAS a cache on that bridge! If someone posts a picture of a Fjord, I'm SURE you'll have a big advantage over everyone else.

+milvus-milvus Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) If I might be so bold as to assume a ding... Try this one, a bit closer to home, and perhaps a little more difficult...

+Stuey Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 It's HMS Victory in Portsmouth. The nearest cache is probably GC1D2DD Sidetracked Portsmouth Harbour, but GC13426 Ballast is close too, but as it's a mystery cache the physical box could be closer. Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I just got there too - having ruled out the Cutty Sark, and a close inspection of Chatham Docks first... Quote Link to comment

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) OK, name the island, where it is, and name the nearest cache (physical or otherwise) to the middle. Would it perchance be the Island of Steepholm? and the nearest cache to the centre of the island be GC1N7KF - Let's CITO Steep Holm ??

+mtn-man Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 In an email I just wrote, I said the following and thought I should post this here too... I liked the one with the Google pictures since our whole focus for geocaching is seeing things you might not ordinarily see. This topic sort of does the same thing. I like the way the community members brought it home by asking about certain caches near the pictures posted. That is great work by the people in the topic. We run a pretty tight ship of course, but I've said before that we are a little looser in the local forums. This has been a fun topic to read and I liked your answers regarding why this topic was not shut down (nice post jerryo). Fun stuff, and I really thought this one was way cool. Looking forward to more good stuff. Quote Link to comment

+Guanajuato Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Keeping with the dodgy sci-fi theme, in a VERY tenuous manner... Place & Cache for the Ding. Extra brownie points for naming the ship in dry dock and what's special about it. Probably too close to the other cache for one of its own. Quote Link to comment

Been round the exhibit. Very interesting. Probably the only thing interesting about Hartlepool I thought Trincomalee as the first iron-clad warship. Probably used against the french. But as that was only for brownie points, DING Two more interesting things about Hartlepool (either is quite likely to be urban myth!): Residents have (had?) the right to dig coal from the beach. The only place in the world where, when they built a nuclear power station, property values went up! And a third (What inquisition?) - It MUST be the only place to have knowingly voted a monkey in as mayor. Edited March 9, 2009 by Guanajuato Quote Link to comment
