+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 we have brought the above pears do we have to keep bottle as it is etc or can we camfoulage it we are going for the least found You can camouflage as much as you wish... and if a photo would really be too much of a giveaway then I'll settle on a photo before its camouflaged.

Delta68 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've thought of a cracking idea for a 'least found' cache. Just need to buy a jar and find somewhere to hide it... Mark Quote Link to comment

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm getting the feeling that the least found category is going to be the most fought after one.. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ohh what a race... as someone asked in a log for one - here's the BPJC leaderboard And don't forget there's still plenty of time to take part - you Have until August the 8th to get your cache published.

+g0akh Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 OK folks. Mine's up and running (no - I didn't have prunes in my container...) GC1VTH5 - BPJC: Lost The Plot? Should give you something to do in between visiting all the other entrants' caches. Quote Link to comment
+sssskenties Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ok for us thick one's lol we have got a pic done on photobucket of said jar how do i put that on gc on my page etc. Quote Link to comment
+the family bu Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 How on earth can the Bu Family not be in on this one. Will get a tub as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ok for us thick one's lol we have got a pic done on photobucket of said jar how do i put that on gc on my page etc. By "my page", I assume you mean you want to put the photo of your cache into the description on your cache page? If you go to the top of this forum, in the pinned topics, click on "Resources for Geocachers in UK and Ireland" which takes you to Follow the Arrow - "Resources for geocachers in UK and Ireland." Then click the link on the left side "How to do HTML"... and then Click Here link on that page. Half way down you'll find instructions on "Adding images to the page." MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Slightly Tall Paul Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 As my entry in Birdie's Peach Jar Challenge has been live for a week, I thought that I would post some thoughts on the challenge so far; Firstly, Thank You to the Birdman for starting the challenge. I've only been caching for a couple of months but I was already thinking of placing a cache, and this just gave me the push that I needed to do it. If you've never placed a cache, then you're not getting the full GC experience. It's great fun to read the logs (and thankfully mine have been positive) and follow it's progress. Also, I think that my cache has inspired another competitor in The Family Bu, so that's great Secondly, Thank You to Tavisman for putting a link on his cache's page to mine and starting the first leaderboard, especially as the changing name of my cache must be causing him some extra work he didn't bargain for Next I would like to give a nod to Notts Cachers John + Carol. After I found their nanocache GC1HDY8 Dynamite Offer John changed the name to Summer Music Sundae and a little bulb went on over my head "I didn't know that you could do that!", so Thank You for the inspiration John Oh, and don't be put off finding mine if you can't think of a name for it, after all the FTF didn't choose a new name. As for the competition, I think that Camel Cachers have played a blinder by placing their cache near the upcoming Mega which will be overflowing with cachers, although can I just point out that technically I'm still leading the Least Found category as the found cache with the fewest finds Good Luck to everyone, regards, Paul Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Glad you're having fun Paul. I know there's several more caches being talked about, I'm guessing those going for the least found award will leave it till the last possible moment to place their cache, but if you're going for the most found then hurry up! I've modified my Leaderboard at Here to reflect the current leaders. Good luck everyone.. Quote Link to comment
+The_Street_Searchers Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I want in on this too - will have to get eating quickly.... How long, on average, does it take for caches to be published? Quote Link to comment
+keehotee Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I want in on this too - will have to get eating quickly.... How long, on average, does it take for caches to be published? How long is a piece of string? I think it probably depends on where you live and so which reviewer you fall under - and of course how busy they are with life outside caching. In the past I've had caches published within an hour. The average around here though seems to be a couple of days. My own BPJC cache is sat in the queue right now...... Quote Link to comment
+The_Street_Searchers Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 wow - fast reply :-) Thanks! Looks like this weekend will be peachtastic I have seen some great caches in my year of caching so plenty of ideas to make this tricky - looks like the most found cache is beyond my reach now! Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Leaderboard updated - Camel cachers currently leading in the least finds (but with at least one find) category and Mrs Blorenge still in the lead in the most found category. G0AKH still with no finds, but I'm working on that.. I know of at least three caches in the queue and several more being talked about. Still loads of time to get your entries placed and join in the fun! Steve/Birdie Quote Link to comment

+Camel Cachers Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Camel Cachers are getting concerned about the travellers camped very near to their Aunt Birdie's Cache.................especially as it's still got loads of Tenners stuffed in it..............................thanks to Berrow Cachers for the photo you posted this morning.....................hope the Travellers move on very very soon........................we paid really good money to camp on a proper campsite last week......................just like the people who are going to camp nearby at Warren Farm for the Mega Event. Maybe some cachers could overspill and camp for free on the verge near our cache once the Travellers move on. Or like Mr T says have the Blorenges set up camp there to put off visiting cachers!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 The first BPJC Event cache has been published here To quote the cache page "Technically, this event cache is not an entry for the competition - It exists simply because MrsB wanted to prove it could exist" I would wish to point out that it's possible that: Statement A: Bribery is an acceptable tactic (Extract from rules) could override Statement B: Virtual Peach jars are excluded and obviously Peach Jar Event caches (Including Mega Events) are also excluded. (Extract from rules) If you catch my drift MrsB? The latest leaderboard is here Quote Link to comment
