flynns77 Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Hello, My name is Barry Gordon, I'm a freelance feature writer for Scotland on Sunday. I'm going to be writing up a piece on Geocaching soon and I'm appealing to Scottish cachers (particularly in the Lothians) to help me with my feature: either as an interviewee or someone I can go caching with. You can contact me at: flynns77@hotmail.com Leave me your details and I shall buzz you back. Kind Regards, Barry Quote
Silver fox Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Well I'm up for it again Just hope I don't get slated on the forums for advertising caching but hey we could do with more cachers in Scotland Quote

flynns77 Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 Silver Fox - please get in touch with me, I've lost your phone number and email address. I'm going to end up doing the piece for the Sunday Post now, so please, please, give me a call. You can reach me on either: (0131)313-2521 or 0777-626-5625. Cheers, Barry Quote
evilrooster Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Yay Silver Fox! You've done well by us as a spokesman. I was going to volunteer, but my mobility getting to caches is not what it could be at present, with the bump and all. Flynn, please do give us advance notice when the article comes out so we can all read it....ta. evilrooster http://www.bookweb.sunpig.com -the email of the species is deadlier than the mail- Quote
flynns77 Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 I'd love to evilrooster. However, unless someone phones me by 2pm this afternoon we'll lose the thread and the opportunity to do a feature will be gone. Sorry, that's newspapers for you I guess. So, one last time: if you are interested in helping - in any way, shape or form - please phone me on either: (0131)313-2521 or 0777-626-5625. Thanks in advance, Barry Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Buy the Sunday Post on December 7th to read the article on geocaching. Hopefully we will see a surge in interest and activity in Scotland. Edited December 5, 2003 by Firth of Forth Quote
DeputyDawg Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 FoF, Would it be possible to see copy of the article somewhere...my local newsagents have sent the old papers back, and am interested...website only gives nice walk around 'Auld Reekie' with reference to Greyfriars Bobby! Thanks as always, DD. Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 (edited) I have scanned the article into the computer, and will have to send it to you. The picture (of me holding GPS and lunchbox) didn't scan properly I'm afraid. If anyone else wants to see it, let me know and I will email it. (But you will need to let me have your email address so that I can add an attachment) Edited December 9, 2003 by Firth of Forth Quote
DeputyDawg Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Great article for any other Cachers interested!... Watch the numbers rise as the Chrissy Pressies are opened later. Hi! Nice One FoF! DD Quote
+Naefearjustbeer Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Forgot to get the Sunday Post at the weekend but one of my workmates saved the article for me. Well done, the article was well written and showed the game in a good light (not too cyber geeky). I wonder when Oor Wullie will get a GPS Or even Pa Broon could manage to find a cache or two. I am sure the But n' Ben would make a good start point for a cache hunt. Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Thanks Naefear and DD. At least the article demonstrates that its not just a game for boys and their toys! I have already had an email from a reader who is hoping that his wife will give him a GPS for Xmas, but was going to rush out and try to find a few without one anyway. Quote
DeputyDawg Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 FoF...Your article has done a great job for Scottish Geocaching Pleased to hear of some feedback and hope the potential cacher joins soon ..think that there might be a few others to follow after Xmas day!. Thinking of applying for Geo caching account as Paw Broon......but see that that 'The Broons' are already taken! Michty Me! Regards..& Gd Caching! DD Quote
+djh Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Just read the articail from last Sundays Post, my mother in law saved it for me. Well-done Firth of Forth. A great write up! DJH Quote
+Team Bostik Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Ahhh...Cousin DJH...he gets everywhere! Yes, good article FoF.... unfortunately most of the muggles I speak to reckon we are doing a 21st century version of trainspotting (with or without the anoraks depending upon the weather!) We'll educate them.... Quote
