+Simply Paul Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Caches can be great or rubbish, as we know, but the thought that goes into the listing for even a dodgy hide can be brilliant. One of my favourite things is finding (or hiding!) one with a clever, funny or otherwise memorable-for-good-reasons name. Do you have one or more which makes you smile? Nothing that's only funny/clever once you've found the cache please - we don't want any spoilers Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 128 views but no posts? I can't believe I'm the only person to snigger at a cache name. I'll suggest a couple of my own that I'm proud of to get the ball rolling: Sexy Muckle Flugga (Herma Ness, Unst, Shetland) X Marks the Year (Bucks) - set to celebrate 10 years of GC171 - England's oldest surviving cache.

+MartyBartfast Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Well there was Betty Mundy's finest asset but it's long been archived. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) OK... I just looked through our cache finds to see what I could find. I haven't found any rip-roaringly hilarious cache names but some I enjoyed are Piglet's ill, but Winnie's well Virtuous but "poore and inconsiderable" We come in piece Can I see Uranus? The BIGGEST curler in Perth Elvis lives! - "Wooden Art" Well choughed The end (and more) is in sight There are quite a few cache titles where you don't get the joke until you actually visit the cache location and the name itself is not particularly funny.

+St.Nicholas Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 We have found a few with funny names: P in the bed, York Don't tell him your name turnpike "Can"ny seat but nee where to sit!! IT'S NOT TERRY'S, IT'S MINE LOO (N.Yorks) A lot of the ones we tend to remember are funny when you find the cache and realise what the title means! Quote
+GAZ Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 BigLad&Co has a series near me that's set around the village of Wreay (pronounced REAR), and the last one is aptly named "Wreay End" Quote
+Lime Candy Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 One that made me smile was called "J MCENROE" - and yes, my first reaction on seeing the cache was "You cannot be serious!" Quote
+Delta68 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 After having alook through our finds there's quite a few whose names make sense once at GZ but very few whose names are amusing it their own right Some of the names of the caches on Rodz's WTF series are totally whacky eg: GC17PK4 and GC17PK4 Mark Quote
+susiemerlin1 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 How about R.I.P (GC29E75) 'P' = (Piece) being the name of the village!!! Quote
+overanout Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Here's one I found the other day - L&LC - The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=68520345-8b24-4413-a183-5ab83fe64e82 Quote
+mellers Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I found this one a couple of weeks ago ‘ands off me Obblyonkers, Cheggies and Cheesers! and this one yesterday Buttercupdiaperfacecheeseballgirdle Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Novel Cache: Farmer Buckley's Exploding Trousers Quote
+Original A1 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Motorway Mayhem - M4 J17 - A to E (GC179PB) The last part of the name... not so obvious until you find it, but clever, in my view. Watch the parking though! Quote

+Phil100 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 ....... I can't believe I'm the only person to snigger at a cache name ....... Sexy Muckle Flugga (Herma Ness, Unst, Shetland) I've planned a trip to Shetland for May and this is a cache that I'm planning on attempting. I have already discovered that I need to be very carefull not to get my consonants mixed up when discussing my plans! Quote
