+NattyBooshka Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I maintain a file of all caches within 50 miles of home that we haven't yet visitied. This currently stands at some 221 caches. This is easily kept up to date by adding the new caches every week when I get my notification mail on a Thursday. This got me thinking... 1: With 221 to go in the area I'd best get cracking 2: Am I way too sad with way too much time on my hands? 3: Does anybody else do this? Finally this gave me an idea... there must be a website where people exchange such files. Well... I searched and searches and just could not find. So if there isn't a place for this I figure we need one. It would be so much easier for me to send a couple of hundred waypoints to my GPS before making a trip to the other end of the country. I would be willing to cover the area I do now, which would include Greater Manchester, Peak District, most of Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire... with a sizeable chunk of southern Yorkshires thrown in. It wouldn't take too many people keeping a file on a site for us to cover the whole of the country... but I guess lots of "50 miles around..." would be more useful. Anybody think this is a good idea? If so, anybody want to help? Quote Link to comment

A question... Why would anyone else want a list of caches that you've not visited? You can get a download of all caches within any distance of anywhere from the G:UK website. There's really no need for anyone else to keep a list. John Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability Quote Link to comment
+Flackadder Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Does'nt 'geocaching.com' and others do that anyway?? :-) Bob.... http://www.bobh.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+NattyBooshka Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 Ok... guess I'm a sad man then! Was gonna put back in the one's I hadn't been to. Not seen G:UK downloads as had always gotten my caches from geocaching.com, which is sometimes a pain to download hundreds from. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I keep all of sourthern Idaho on my GPS and PDA This is pushing 500 waypoints and so I'm going to have to figure out another means. Quote Link to comment
+Lassitude Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Well I maintain a Garmin MPS file and an EasyGPS file on my website that contains all the caches I have completed. You can download them and see just how many I have actually done!! That is not only sad but egotistical as well ( I thought I would get that in before anybody else does). Chris LASSITUDE- (noun) Tiredness and apathy: a state of weariness accompanied by listlessness or apathy[15th century. Via French from Latin lassitudo , from lassus 'weary'.] Quote Link to comment
MCL Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hmm, I'm even worse.... - I maintian a Mapsource file of all teh caches I have done, which includes not only the locations of the "normal" caches, but also the locations of all the parts of multi-caches, plus the final co-ordinates of multis and puzzle caches. - I take photos of every cache I do, and these go in a separate folder on my hard drive, one for each cache, labelled by name... Then I do practically the same for all the trigpoints I do as well.... Call me nerd if you like.. No trees were harmed during the production of this posting, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.... Quote Link to comment
