GC1CJ9T - <---OR--->

OR GC1X296 - What's Your Vector Victor which seems to have been published since I posted my answer and is significantly closer to the picture than either of the two answers I suspect you were after!! Is that a DING I here??

Yes, sorry I was just being flippant.

August 11, 2009

Flippant? Golly gosh. :drama: Do people tolerate that around here????

The next one could be a bit of a pig to catch. What is the name of the Virtual Cache in the picture?

August 11, 2009

Is it GC1DDE, Pyramid of the Sun?

August 12, 2009

Is it GC1DDE, Pyramid of the Sun?

DING!

I was hoping it wouldn't go quite that fast.

August 12, 2009

Right.......here goes......what is the cache in the middle of the picture?

August 13, 2009

Right.......here goes......what is the cache in the middle of the picture?

Hrisey (GC1WEVZ). And the cache is still unfound a couple of weeks after being published...

August 13, 2009

This one should be simple:

August 14, 2009

Well, I thought it would be easy - it's received a lot of recent visits...

Sand Point Earthcache - GC1CY03

Edit: I'm going to go ahead and self-ding (can lead to blindness) and ask, can you name either of these two caches? ("No" will not get you a ding!)

Let's narrow it down for you. The caches are in Wales.

August 17, 2009

Ding to me........they are GC1VT8Q and GCXZ0K!!

Giz a mo, I will post a piccy soon!

August 17, 2009

Ok......name the cache in the picture.......a hint......it's in the Canaries.

Well done on spotting those two caches (Ding-conformation), but I can't see your picture

August 17, 2009

Honest guv.......it was there when I posted it.....I think?

I'll try again!!

Hmmm.......had a re-think, and I can only work out that since I posted the piccy first, I have re-named it and maybe that is the reason?

Flippin technology..........marvelous, innit??!!

Hello Everyone! This game looks really interesting but this one seems hard. That's a really small island. Any clues?

Well that's a start I guess I knew it was Northern Hemisphere from the shadows and was thinking around the Mediterranean but there are millions of islands. I better get started. Oh by the way, have you visited this cache?

Only been a member for a few days but I already realize that HH is not not the kind of guy that falls for easy tricks, but worth a shot. I love these kind of quizzes, so hopefully I will get a few right Nice to meet you all

You're not wrong there. I had it sussed as soon as I read it. For the record, unless I use a different account, something that I don't do, the cache would show up as a smiley rather than a cache box if I had found it. So the answer to your question is no. Not much help really is it.

As it has been 24 hours since the photo was put up, I thought I would do another but zoomed out a bit this time.

Doesn't the water look lovely and warm? I bet if you went for a dip it would be a bit Baltic!

Never thought of that, but as i use Google Earth standalone, and not from the cache page map, my finds just show up as a box.

Anyway, now it's zoomed out a bit, I will be looking a bit harder!

MagicallyAdept......welcome to the forums and hope you enjoy caching!

We've found it (I say we, 3 of us at work!)

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sour...055189&z=14

It's near Sams0 and is called Kyholm.

The cache is called Kyholm Bastion

August 20, 2009

OK, I'll take this as a ding!

I've got a really interesting place that's not that far away. The Tiger and I have it on our "To Visit" list.

I guess I have to ask what's the cache?

The other question is the building circled, what is its use and who do you presume owns it and what country is it in?

Just to confirm that is a DING well done.

August 21, 2009

OK, I need to give some clues.

Bob Carolgee's dog might help.

But the dog's grown. Very big. In fact, bigger than big. Biggest?

6.2k · August 21, 2009

Digby... ah, Newfoundland! On a spit in Newfoundland.

August 21, 2009

The cache is Nida Cache GCX6NA. It is located on the largest spit in the world which is the Curonian Spit. The building in question would be a Russian border control. The border between Lithuania and Russian Kaliningrad splits the spit!

Presumptuous in giving a self ding, I will happily pass on posting a new pic and leave it to someone else.

Simply Paul, if you would like to take the reins?

That's a castle of sorts at the top. When you think 'castle', where does that lead you...?

6.2k · August 24, 2009

It leads you to Wales, where you can't nip to the shops without tripping over a castle.

Yes but that aerial photograph shows the land bathed in sunshine so it can't be in Wales

Ah, but that's because it's near the seaside, where it's always sunny :lol:

As an extra clue; Tally Ho!

Well it's Castel Deudraeth - a very nice restaurant and hotel near Portmeirion.

Well, it must be GC1T3F2 then (I am not a number - I am a free man)

Well, I was going to self ding and post another picture ... but can't get my image on here. (do it all the time on GAGB). Not sure what is different on this forum - I use slide.com to host the images.

So unless anyone can give me advice ..... then maybe best that ZoomLens jumps in (as I wouldn't have got the cache without their help)

Yep.. when you compose your reply, theres an INSERT IMAGE on the toolbar, hit that and type in th eURL of your picture on slide.com.... and that should be it. But I'm sure you've sussed that out! and I can't think of a reason why it won't work here if it's ok at GAGB

When you try to post the image you have to click on the little tree icon, then paste in the URL of your photo location in the box... then click OK...

That not working for you? :unsure:

If not, you'll just have to wait there patiently 'til one of those very techy people appears :blink:

MrsB

... oh look! there's Birdman... he qualifies as "techy".
