+djh Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Well done to Tim and June on finding their 400th cache, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them and to thank them for all the time and commitment they have given to this hobby. Hip Hip Hooray DJH Quote Link to comment
+Kouros Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Indeed. Well done T&J - here's to another 400 caches... and another 400 bears! Keep 'em coming! On a more serious note, D minor. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Well done Tim & June: I'm suprised you find time to go caching, what with keeping an eye on us rowdy lot! Congrats, long may you reign (but not rain: we prefer a sunny outlook, surely?!) Nullus Secundi, eh what?! Neutiquam erro. Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 That's excellent news and really well done, particularly given all their other work for Geocaching. T&J are two of the small number who put in far more than they take out, moderating to the best of their ability, taking the lead where necessary and wading in every time that some difficult topic comes along. And we'd still like to hear about your experiences along the way. Dave Quote Link to comment

+paul.blitz Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 We read this news when at the "Cache, Dash, Stash the Cash (RED NOSE)" cache this afternoon... They have been very quiet about this, haven't they?..... they are obviously out to make the 500 before the cache-bash in April!!! But heck, it's not about numbers.... except when you're in the lead! Paul Team Blitz Noone in their right mind would place a cache THERE.... Quote Link to comment

The joke sort of backfired when a real bear collector bid 20 quid on it. We couldn't let it go so had to outbid her to buy our own bear back. Sad, ain't it?? - Quote Link to comment

+Subarite Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Well done on reaching 400 caches! I also wonder how you can have time to cache and moderate...

Team Tate Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Congratulations T&J. I'm sure that some people have too much time on their hands! Any tips on helping us reach the 100 mark? Gosh - I feel so inadequate now! Sarah x Team Tate Remember - if it's moving, it's not dead... Quote Link to comment
+Travers Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Congratulations. I figure there must be no local caches you haven't found yet. Maybe you should plan a trip 'up north' and distribute some of these famous bears? Quote Link to comment

+Tim & June Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 We really would like to thank everyone for all their kind words, but it really should be us thanking you, if you didn't place them we couldn't find them. At the moment UK admin for GC.com is taking up a great deal of our time and we cannot alway get out and cache as much as we use to, this is not an issue we are more than happy to do it we want to see others get as much enjoyment out of this activity as we do. We also greatly appreciate the support we get from you guys in our role. We are usually asked at this stage to name our best, worst etc. We honestly have to say that out of 400 caches 'Wildcat' is still the best. It's got everything you could possibly want out of a cache, adventure, puzzles, great locations etc etc it really deserves more visits. Our worst cache, well we just don't think it fair to name that, and fortunatly the percentage of what we term as 'lame' caches is fairly low. The best part of this game for us is reading the logs of cachers who follow us and find, or in some cases, not finding one of those Bears. We will try and spread them out a bit further and give some of the cachers in other areas a chance to find them. We are just pleased you enjoy hunting them down, and we have yet to see one of those car window stickers. Thanks again for your kind words we really do appreciate them. Tim & June (Winchester) See June, I told you that sign which said 'Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles' was wrong ! Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 ...and thanks for all the hard work you put into geocaching behind the scenes. It's amazing you ever get the time to actually find any caches, let alone 400 of them! Quote Link to comment

+The Hornet Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I only just got back from a holiday in Cyprus (1 Find, 2 Not Found and 3 Placed if you're interested) so I only just saw this momentous bit of news. Welcome to the very exclusive '400 club' . Also many thanks for all your hard work.
