+The Merman Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 I was just checking the webstats for my site and the pages to do with Geocaching took 109 hits on the three days following the Inside out program. compare that with 26 for the previous three WEEKS. Quite a few came as a result of people searching for geocaching through Google etc. That has got to be a good sign for the health of geocaching in the UK. Did anyone else notice an increase in hits last week? I woke this morning and my boat was not rocking...for one horrid moment I thought I lived in a house! Quote
+Omally Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 I've put all the caches I found in my watch list, and loads of them have been visited by new cachers quoting Inside Out as their "inspiration". I'll drink to that! It's a tradition, or an old charter or something... Quote
+Tim & June Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Gulliver Bears website has taken a massive increase of 1,200 percent. Wow. Tim & June (Winchester) See June, I told you that sign which said 'Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles' was wrong ! Quote
+jeremyp Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 My site had three times its weekly average in the last seven days. Unfortunately, I can't tell what the increase is for my geocaching page is, but in terms of bytes transferred it is now at the top of the league. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Not to sure about web traffic but this weekend saw an unusuall amount of finds on our caches. Most seemingly from new cachers - looks like Santa delivered a lot of GPSs for Christmas. Bear rescues a speciality! London & UK Geocaching Resources: http://www.sheps.clara.net Quote
Mark_Chris Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I was one of the new geocachers to find your cache, I am totally hooked. Great fun! But someone in my office did call me a trainspotter , I did tell them I didn't have a blue cag-in-bag. Mark Quote

Stand up and be proud! Sarah used to tease me for being trainspottery when I first started... now she joins me for the walks, and seeking the caches too. I guess despite all her protestations, she really is a band geek. Oh, and a cag-in-a-bag is more useful than you might think. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote

Cag = Cagoule, a waterproof top, usually fairly lightweight, and WITHOUT the zip down the front (= more waterproof!). -in-a-bag = they sell them in their own tiny bag Great think to hide in the corner of the car or rucksack, just in case it should rain.

Can't beat a plastic bag, eh Merman??? Quote
Mark_Chris Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I have to come clean, I have got a Cag-in-a-bag. There I have said it now! Phew, that's better, I can sleep at night now. Quote

When you weren't wearing them, you turned them inside out and stuffed them into their own pocket. Highly practical, but really nasty to put on if they were wet. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote

Well gotta say that you had the last laugh as we all dripped our way back from the cache! I woke this morning and my boat was not rocking...for one horrid moment I thought I lived in a house! Quote
