Gypminer Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Yipee! What a way to start the New Year! We got our first FTF at Carsington Water this morning, thanks to Val and David. A super little cache if anyone wants a go, the first set of co-ordinates and the clue are spot on. We left a very special TB there, too! Have a great caching year everyone!

davester Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Well, you could have waited until I'm back at work tomorrow. It's miles away from home. I'm imagining that snerdbe is already on the case, but then I'm nowhere near as dedicated. Quote Link to comment

+McDeHack Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I cannot understand what is the big deal on this FTF. Are you after the best goodies in the box and leave a Mactoy? I have had a few FTFs but I don't advertise it. Normaly I am the LTF. Don't care as long as I find it. Quote Link to comment
+Belplasca Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Blimey and I thought our one FTF was an achievement Actually, your FTF WAS an achievement. And not something that I would want to belittle! I was just spoilt - getting a FTF on my very first cache. And I've just gone on from there. Bob Aldridge Quote Link to comment
+DesG Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Eyes down for another chance at FTF from me... MarcB We got there at 9:10am today, couldn't go last night as we hadn't recharged our 1,000,000 candle power torch from the previous night. Until the next one... Des & Bren Quote Link to comment

davester Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 This was especially impressive as I unintentionally screwed up the cache page! The most annoying thing was that the cache pen wasn't working when I got there at 7 am this morning. Neither was mine! Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) So... you beat Snerdbe? *confused* EDIT: There was a pencil in there though... *very confused* Edited January 4, 2005 by MarcB Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Just for the *record* Bob (Belplasca) has now been credited with the "new" record for the most FTF's in a day with 5 unless anybody else can beat 5? :D UK Records page Edited January 4, 2005 by Deego Quote Link to comment

markandlynn Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 At the moment according to my FTF pocket querry that never gets run other than on line there are 37 potential FTF's in th UK. sorry 33 (4 are event caches) For those premium members that wnat to know set up a PQ for all cache types. Any container. and then tick the That havent been found box. Select UK as the country. and leave all other fields blank. Quote Link to comment

Did you do the first ten together? If so then surely that's more than 8 Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 One of my IOM caches still hasn't had it's FTF after nearly seven months and one known attempt...is that a record for a cache that has been attempted and is definitely in place? It is in a slightly tricky spot, however, so there's probably no rush if you want to come across and bag it! HH Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Wadders did 5 FTF's in 27 minutes. Not bad eh? 5th log Quote Link to comment
