+Graculus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I seem to recall one at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, just off the M11.. Nope! Sorry! Chris Graculus Volunteer UK Reviewer for geocaching.com UK Geocaching Information & Resources website www.follow-the-arrow.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Google Earth doesn't zoom in far enough, but there is a Concorde at East Fortune and the nearest cache would be RAF East Fortune. I had thought there was a cache at the museum but it must have been archived? I do reckon the answer is wrong though, as East Fortunes Concorde is inside a hanger, but the image may have been taken before it was moved indoors? Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is it the one at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York? If so, the nearest cache would be: GC1AEVT - Measuring Circles (currently inaccessible). Quote Link to comment

Chudley Cannons Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Here's a better view. Bing Map version Flying into Seattle landing from the north is one of my favourite airports. you fly right over Paine Field and Boeing Field and you can see the new planes lined up and painted ready for delivery.

Care to let me in on that one? Not sure whether I'v misunderstood your question but: Go to the cache page click the "Geocaching.com Google Map" link In the map frame hit the "Satellite" button. I'll let it run a while longer before adding any hints but I'm pretty sure there are people on here who will recognise it. Edited May 26, 2010 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment

I meant, the 4/5 stars below the cache icon? *(I guestimated it was the terrain rating rather than the difficulty, that might have caused confusion) Edited May 26, 2010 by Ryuchan Quote Link to comment

I suppose the fact that it's been given 4/5 stars gives you a hint that the cache isn't a micro in a hedge or maybe not Edited May 26, 2010 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment

+Just Roger Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 As it 'Open House' I'll put one on. Usual Name the Cache but with a slightly different viewpoint Quote Link to comment
+Just Roger Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 24 hours on and time for a hint. Here it is again with N at the top and a vertical view zoomed out a bit. Quote Link to comment

+Teuchters Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 North East of the last (Lake District) entry.... Dead Parrot? Monty Python? (probably too obscure for the younger cacher ) Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ok its Norway. I'd figured out that bit (yes I'm plenty old enough to remember the sketch), but a cache by a lake in Norway doesn't enough to narrow it down enough for me, I think we'll need another clue unless someone happens to have logged it.

+maxkim Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You could just do a slap-dash search for the oldest cache... Oldest live cache.. by number order (Hexadecimal in those days) is GCD 'Geocache' hidden 21-6-2000 Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's not that one. It would seem to be even older, if you were to make an easy mistake... Quote Link to comment
+milvus-milvus Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well, if I were to assume that the first cache would be GC1, but instead of typing it in the "GC Code" search box I entered it in the "Keyword" search box - then I might be taken to: GC1 by Pheligan, which of course is not GC1 at all, but GC1B53.

+milvus-milvus Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 This is not the first one either, or is it? I thought this was going to be too easy, since it's very much along the same lines as Paul's one. The clue is in the question. Quote Link to comment

As I did not stepped up last time when I got one I will try my first effort so go gently... I have taken my present location on Google earth and zoomed out till I got the nearest caches... No use looking at my profile I have not done any caches in this county yet The name and number of the earth Cache in top right of picture... Edit: Can some one tell me how to make the picture show? Link works but pic would be better.. Edit 2: Think I got it Left URL up just in case Edited June 11, 2010 by GerritS Quote Link to comment

+Teuchters Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Its been pretty quiet here for a few weeks... Now these three Earthcaches are:...... In an area where boxes are not allowed. Two of the three have a direct connection or Special Relationship with Fingals Cave. The process that formed two of the caches are reflected in the third cache. Are not in Europe. Are not far from a Big ski area Close to some Lakes And when the day comes, I hope I'm not there. Although Charton Heston, Genevieve Bujold and Ava Gardner were. Anyone of these caches will do to get the Ding. Quote Link to comment
