+cakemaker Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Geocaching is the cover story in the current publication of 'Camping & Caravanning' magazine. It's a well written article running to 5 pages by travel writer, Helen Werin with great photos of Stanton Moor by her husband. It really captures the excitement of the hunt whilst also giving sensible tips. Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I suggest forwarding it to the Royal Parks Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I suggest forwarding it to the Royal Parks ...although probably said in jest, that's perhaps not a bad idea ... Quote Link to comment

It really captures the excitement of the hunt whilst also giving sensible tips. It seems a nicely balanced article. It's just a slight pity that the subtitle on the cover and on the article itself refers to "buried 'treasure'" Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 ...any chance of someone scanning said article and sharing it? Quote Link to comment
+smstext Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 is there an online version of it as i tried three newsagents and a supermarket today to be told none had it and it wasnt something they stocked due to the low (if any) sales on the publication. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) As soon as I can get back home and pick up my copy I will post a link to a PDF, the magazine is only for members and cannot be purchased in shops. Edited November 22, 2009 by DrDick&Vick Quote Link to comment
+Mustards Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Is the Camong and Caravan club magazine? if it is then only their members get a copy. I am waiting for my copy to arrive. Quote Link to comment
+burtsbodgers Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Unfortunately i can not find an online version of the magazine, through the website even though i was logged in as a member! also i have not seen my copy yet, but i believe that you can buy a copy via a decent newsagent as copies are released for sale. At least i am sure that i have read this in a previous publication of the magazine Quote Link to comment

+The Slaughter Family Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 A good article.....and later in the magazine my son's photo also appeared Quote Link to comment
+calibri Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 A good article.....and later in the magazine my son's photo also appeared A good article but what a shame the 3rd cache was "hidden in a wall" it looked like a dry stone one- a definite no no ! Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Had our copy in the post today. Not a bad article at all. A few anomolies such as Calibri has already mentioned, and the "buried" treasure, but on the whole a very good read and I'm sure it will drum up a bit of custom! Quote Link to comment

norsch Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 A good article.....and later in the magazine my son's photo also appeared A good article but what a shame the 3rd cache was "hidden in a wall" it looked like a dry stone one- a definite no no ! Shame, the article may lead people to believe that the cache is hidden in the wall. However it isn't, it is a really well hidden cache a few feet from the wall shown in the picture.

+The Imp Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I thought it was "Spot On Article" and should do us a lot of good in the process. Whats' better still, is that the feature is targeted to likeminded peope who go to the countryside for pleasure. Maybe the Caravan Club will follow suit and promote us soon. Quote Link to comment
+smstext Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 i found it to be a good article that would get those who never heard of geocaching interested. Quote Link to comment

d_cross78 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I got the magazine the other week, that's why I'm here!!! I've heard a little about Geo-caching before (a colleague in a different office does it!) but that was it. Talked about it with the wife and we thought it might be worth having a look at for when we go out for walks with the kids. I'm currently looking at GPS units on ebay to assist with the hunting. Thanks, dave Quote Link to comment
