Deceangi Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 There was a Reviewer in the Group Deci ps: not me though I'm still here in wet North Wales Quote

davnig Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 not a gps in site! Mine was in my pocket, but I was there, got the hat to prove it Quote
+lost! Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 The geocaching piece exceeded my expectations, well done to those involved . I'll forgive the 1.4 million caches in the UK bit! The Anneka Rice part was a good bit of fun too even if it was not really much to do with geocaching! Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 The Anneka Rice part was a good bit of fun too even if it was not really much to do with geocaching! Didn't watch it. Presume the Anneka Rice bit was a corny pun by the Beeb on the fact she did a programme called Treasure Hunt, and caching is a Treasure Hunt... Quote
+The Wombles Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 not a gps in site! woman on the right of the group, garmin GPS round neck, does that count? I'm pretty sure that was a Tea Trolley ..... Mrs B, come on down! Quote
+NattyBooshka Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Not found anything published yet - they could at least have made it an event cache! Or from the traffic problems, a Mega?? Chris nearest cache is 286ft so is to close to be published on geocaching.com! Bad planning! Chris Maybe it was on the other site! Edited June 24, 2011 by NattyBooshka Quote

J When I was in my youth I was intrigued by the fact Annika Rice did her housework naked. Of course I'm nearly 40 now, and she's much older... The impression has gone... now if they'd used Annabelle Croft Quote
jadenrich2101 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I might have got my trainers on all the way up here in the North if itd have been Dale Winton....my hero.....Remember next time you hear the BEEP think about the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweeeep Quote
+Graculus Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 It was great fun! The piece about finding the 2 geocaches in the Brecons was very well done and explained about caching nicely! The bit in Bristol was a laugh! Yes, they called it a treasure hunt and got a fact or two wrong but so what! Bit of background. When I was talking to the producer during the week he was quite clear they were not putting out a cache so I was surprised when Aneka announced there was one. It isn't listed anywhere so you can't go and find it. When we got there the producer was really worried NO ONE would turn up. We got stuck on the M32 in traffic for a while. The first people to arrive did so 5 minutes after the coords were announced. Not geocachers but locals who were watching and realised where it was. A few geocachers did turn up, AlanG, Odyssians and a couple of others who if they'll forgive me I've not got their names.! Chris Quote

Mrs B, come on down! If you mean the short one with glasses, in the dark brown jacket, carrying a furled brolly... yes, it was me (sans tea trolley). It went OK, had a good few people turn up (there were other late arrivals who didn't get into the group shot) plus a couple of dogs so not bad for a wet Friday evening in Bristol. MrsB Quote

+slimey Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 If you missed the bit towards the end of the One Show for the group shot... MrsB is fairly obvious. Graculus took me a little longer to spot. I don't know any of the other cachers there... Quote
+Fianccetto Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 My friend is visiting from Ireland and said there was no trouble to get to us (in Gloucester, from Bristol) but it was horrendous going the other way. I guess there were a fair few people heading for Glastonbury tonight. Quote
+*mouse* Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I made it as far as The Children's Hospital before work decided that they had a job for me and my plans to time my dinner break with the show went out the window. Ah well, never mind! Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 ... I don't know any of the other cachers there... Suspect some people just turned up to be on telly. Kids found it with a SatNav..? Watch out for the "How do I find caches with my car satnav?" on the forums. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) There were quite a few people who turned up who knew nothing about geocaching but arrived at the co-ords using car sat-nav or phone applications. Maybe prospective geocachers? We'll see. Suspect some people just turned up to be on telly. I'm pretty sure some turned up just to see Anneka Rice MrsB Edited June 25, 2011 by The Blorenges Quote

Watch out for the "How do I find caches with my car satnav?" on the forums. they were probably the first kids there, so producers gave them the win. TV is all smoke and mirrors!! I did dislike the way they focused on treasure, whereas we know most of the stuff in a cache is tat lol Quote
+Munkeh Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 well the piece had one effect The One Show sunk as rain forced the delay of Andy Murray's third-round Wimbledon match. Chris Evans and Alex Jones's hour-long show, shunted to BBC Two in favour of the tennis, plunged to 1.92m (9.3%), its lowest ever audience. Quote
+Lydford Locators Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Chris Evans and Alex Jones's hour-long show, shunted to BBC Two in favour of the tennis.... We were very unimpressed to find that instead of the One Show we'd recorded the tennis! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 We were very unimpressed to find that instead of the One Show we'd recorded the tennis! It's on iPlayer here the first bit is around 04:30, and the final bit around 55:00. Quote
jadenrich2101 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 meee tooo. recorded tennis instead of both the One show and eastenders......but then kinda got into the tennis and watched it to the end lol Quote
+keehotee Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 ... I don't know any of the other cachers there... Suspect some people just turned up to be on telly. It was an unlisted cache.....was there any other reason to turn up? Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) Geocaching: "It's not just in the treasure at the end of the journey, it's the treasures along the way." Alex Riley. Presenter, BBC tv The One Show Brilliant quote. Edited June 26, 2011 by Bear and Ragged Quote
+currykev Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) A very professional piece of work I thought. I reckon the showing of an "extreme" cache will not entice many new followers. That can only be a good thing. Aneka Rice has aged well, but still looks like a halibut. She don't float my boat. The most amazing thing was finding out Gok Wan is light footed!

I think it's this one as the photo matched my memory of the BBC piece. It looked a bit better on TV than it sounds on the cache page, and it seems only to have lasted a couple of weeks Quote
