+minstrelcat Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Does anyone know of any directories of internet cafes? We are going on a 2 week holiday in Wales and are planning much geocaching. Trouble is, we don't want to wait until we get home to log 2 weeks worth of caches. Many thanks, Lisa Quote Link to comment

+Lassitude Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Another tip when logging caches at Internet Cafes: Make sure you untick the box 'remember my login' when you logon to Geocaching.com. You do not want to have a cookie created on their PC for your login. Thanks Chris LASSITUDE- (noun) Tiredness and apathy: a state of weariness accompanied by listlessness or apathy[15th century.

+Travers Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 You could always try a local library instead. I believe they are free. Apparently 205 libraries in Wales have internet access... http://www.peoplesnetwork.gov.uk/progress/wales.asp Quote Link to comment
101325 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Llandudno and Colwyn Bay public libraries have public access, and it's not too slow. Quote Link to comment

It must be a regional thing, you definitely don't have to pay anything here.

Omally noted it was this time last year, so I guess things may have changed. It might be worth enquiring about the "People's Network" at a library in Wales to see whether or not they support the scheme. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will [This message was edited by Kouros on May 31, 2003 at 09:37 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+minstrelcat Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 Many thanks everyone - looks like we will be checking out local libraries. Lisa Quote Link to comment
+jeb and co Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 we're off to stay in Keswick for a week. Is there any cybercaf or networked library there to log any finds? We hope to drop off a TB somwhere in the locality and don't want it to be there too long without logging it. Quote Link to comment

+jeb and co Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Many thanks. We will be camping just across the road from the library at the Derwentwater Campsite so that should be very handy. Quote Link to comment
