+Bear and Ragged Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Double whammy? Or, as in you can also get a Waymark? Quote Link to comment

+martin&lindabryn Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 GC238QP A5 Drive-By TB Hotel - Llugwy this is one hidden in North Wales Quote Link to comment
+flipflopnick Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanx, keep them coming. Have asked Google what it knows, but milestone also refers to number of caches found. Google have this site specific search "milestone -find -list site:www.geocaching.com" filters out numbers and bookmark lists leaving just caches. There are some lovely caches involving mile markers now on the list. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment
+flipflopnick Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Also of the several thousand cachers in UK, only a few hundred visit these forums. Quote Link to comment
+Maple Leaf Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Are you interested in caches near Toll houses? 002 UK Toll House 003 UK Toll House 004 UK Toll House I'll add a post (& link to this post) in the GAGB Facebook group to see if there are others near milestones. Quote Link to comment

+Munkeh Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 GC2CTJF - Bagshot 1¾ 1¾ could someone not get it right? its not a 1¾ stone is it? Quote Link to comment
+flipflopnick Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanx for all the suggestions. Have added toll houses. CO has asked me to remove Bagshot from list. Not sure cachers are that perceptive. Many only look at coords and clue. Reading recent logs. Some got it straight away. GC2CTJF - Bagshot 1¾ 1¾ could someone not get it right? its not a 1¾ stone is it? Quote Link to comment
+flipflopnick Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) If CO want to be really clever a more prominent link instead of just putting a text link to Milestone Society could be to include their masthead image. Milestone Society which is this text below. Copy and paste in to Edit page of GC.

+Original A1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My own "Give us a hand" GC2A6K8 It's been muggled about 5 times, so I'm in the throes of moving it slightly, but the theme remains the same. Sadly, it's now lost its rather fun original clue, but you can't win them all. Quote Link to comment

+Oxford Stone Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Although the hint mistakenly says trig point, there's one on the road from Henley to Wallingford GC48JZY. Nice for me to find a stone with Oxford written on it! Quote Link to comment
