+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 And me - do I count??? I certainly don't count much at home so it would be nice to think I do somewhere else Quote
The Beauvines Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 We are new to this game, have completed a few finds and we are working on our first cache site. We feel that inexperienced that we tend to lurk in the background reading, rather than contributing. I'm sure that will chnage as the confidence and knowledge grows. Good threads on these forums. Keep it up! The Beauvines Quote

+Lassitude Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 I do not beleive you could have missed me off of the list Moss!!! Thanks 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
Krazy Kats Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Wow, just looked for myself on the geocacheuk.com website. I'm there! I think its a day out though as I've logged some more today. How about this then, I've found 14 out of 15 this weekend. I did some in Bath yesterday and then some more in the New Forest today. Is that good going? I think I'm paying for it now though as I'm aching all over. Quote
macpilot Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 me too found 4 placed 0 ( watch this space ) how many gloucestershire cachers ?? Quote
Wronskian Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Any chance we can get this thread locked down? Or is everyone secretly enjoying it?! -- Seek and ye shall find (tupperware, ammo boxes, bears, free ISP CDs...) Quote

Since it doesn't look like it's going to get locked, I suggest we take it so far off topic that no one knows what it's about anymore.

As well as off topic lets take it off road there is no question that the best 4x4xfar for geocaching is a jeep. Is that far enough off topic ? or will we have to get The Merman to tell what is the best boat for geocaching. Somedays you are a pigeon and others you are a statue ! Quote
+BrentC & Pam Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Please don't include me in yet maybe after my next holiday in the UK However you can also get stats and logs from UK Logs UK Cacher stats Ciao, Brent Quote
+Teasel Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Looking at the "logged on" date for Viaduct View, it seems like the long term future of geocaching is assured (in Hampshire at least!). Maybe down to Tim&June's hard work with the local council? Quote

+Teasel Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Give it time... Sooner or later we'll run infopop out of disk space Anyway the best off-roader I've ever used for geocaching is a G-reg 1.6 Astra. OK, so only 3 wheels survived the experience, but... Maybe I should have borrowed my wife's Maverick? Quote
+Pharisee Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I borrowed an old Land Pig once to make a journey into deepest Norfolk. The 200 mile round trip used up my whole months petrol money allowance and I had to wear ear defenders to deaden the noise from the transfer/overdrive gearbox. It was fun though John Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. Quote

+The Good Shepherds Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Here's a theory... Maybe people don't realise this is a thread with 3 screens worth of messages. If you only read as far as the bottom of screen #1, it looks like this topic is still a going concern... Quote
