+sTeamTraen Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Dink! (Would be ding, but I got my thumb in the way). That's a 7-hour, night-time only, letterbox hybrid. Use your GPSr to find the box with the maps, then put it away and navigate with pencil and protractor. And ropes. And helmets, and a lot of crawling. It's the "must-do" cache for 100km in any direction. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks. That last distinctive shape reminded me of this next one - It's on a much smaller scale and much closer to home (my home, not sTeamTraen's) What's the nearest cache to this place? It's not in the picture, but it's about half a mile south of these buildings. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'd know Star Castle above Hugh Town on St Mary's IOS anywhere. The cache is GC1C7A Scilly Island Hopper starting on the south tip of the Garrison, where I camped for my Extreme (UK's most southly point) event last summer. Shetland coming up next month...

+The Blorenges Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ding! for Simply Paul... I thought you, or someone who attended your extreme event, would get that one. Quote Link to comment

Tooeygeotrashed Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Go to one of your cache pages, or better still an unpublished cache page if you want to keep your cache page 'clean'. Use the add note and then upload your image to the log entry. Click on the image to open a page that just shows that image, copy the url shown on the address bar and paste this into your post. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
+mousytrap Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Many thanks, hopefully we're underway now... On this image (which will hopefully appear below) there are two caches. What I want to know is the name of the one at the green X plus the name by which the item in the title is more commonly known. mousy Quote Link to comment
+mousytrap Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Alright... Maybe that was a bit tricky... I'll rephrase... What I want to know is the name of the one at the green X plus the name of the event related to the title. ...and it's a long way from here... mousy Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 On the old version of the Burrow Head Google photo, some wag at Google had added a flicker of flame on the cliff edge and a plume of smoke heading inland.

+careygang Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Cult series made in mid 60's by and staring Patrick McGoohan after he finished with several years/seasons as 'Danger Man'. Supposedly what happens to character John Drake when he resigns from the Secret Service. Only ran for about 20 episodes. From what I recall ITC, ATV or whoever the money was behind it, decided to pull the plug, and McGoohan just wrapped it all up in a rushed final episode, which was well tripped out in surreal 60's style such as it is probably still argued as to what on earth it was all about. The really worrying thing is that one of the US companies is supposed to be making a 'mini-series' of it this year! Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Thank you, can't say I have seen the series, is it any good? It's got a lot of fans, and is well worth a look IMHO. It gets occasional reruns on some of the cable/satellite channels. Patrick McGoohan's character was indeed number 6 who was imprisoned on the island. Number 2 was the 'camp comandant' and was a different person almost every week. Number 1 was the person who was really in charge, but was never seen or heard, Number 6 spent a lot of time trying to find out who was Number 1. Anyway on with the game, as usual name the cache: Edited May 28, 2009 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 time for a clue? Oops, forgot I'd posted this one. Anyway Maggie might get a bit possessive about this one. Quote Link to comment
