We've been out hiding a cache.  Currently waiting to be published.  Its another Donington cache and will be called 6 Horses Stud Here.  Another Sam hide, so sneaky..

We also did a hide that wasn't a hide.  Lucky we checked with the www.gagb.org.uk website on the exact rules for placing where we wanted to place the cache.

Physical caches or physical cache stages should not be placed within areas of religious devotional or spiritual activity such as churches, mosques, churchyards, cemeteries or other burial grounds and should not be located on, in or immediately adjacent to the boundaries of such locations without specific permissions of the relevant authority.

From Redbeard4570..

Have you ever sent a fellow geocacher a thank you email for taking a travel bug on an outstanding adventure? I do this often. Here is one I sent this week to the geocacher  Scottish Cavalryman.

 

Greetings! Just wanted to say thank you for taking my travel bug TB4JAZ9 with you on your adventures to South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Georgia, Virginia and numerous caches in Hawaii. You single handedly covered more miles and caches than I had hoped for when I re-released it. I can only hope future cachers do half, heck, 1/3rd as much as you did! It has been great fun following its travels with you. Again, many thanks! Cache on! Redbeard4570

 

Please consider doing this when you have a geocacher take your travel bug on a journey. Cache on!  Redbeard4570

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

From BigMal70..

Hi
A couple of possible things for 'Dumb stuff Geocachers Do'

 

1) I recently set a multi cache and it was only when I was on a caching trip with a recent finder of this cache (when he told me that the hint did not match the location) that I realised that I had actually set the formula to the location of one of my other caches instead of the new one.

 

2) Last night a group of 13 of us went out to do a night cache set in a bog (http://coord.info/GC4984D). I am 6'2" and at one point I was up to the top of my thighs in cold, smelly, boggy water and it was chest high on one of the shorter members of the group. This was right at the start of the trail but we all continued to walk a further 3 miles and find the cache. A great cache and really good fun but I have got weird looks from everyone that asked what I did last night.

Ask Doctor D..

If he could listen to music whilst caching what music would he listen to?

Ey Up Me Duck

Dave DeBaeremaeker I have a whole playlist of geocaching themed music I listen too sometimes when I am driving to a cache location. However when I actually hit the trails, I tend not to listen to anything but the sweet symphony that is Mother Nature.

The music is all themed around finding things, or more often, exploration (e.e Life Is A Highway - Tom Cochrane, Ramble On - Led Zeppelin, Into The Great Wide Open - Tom Petty, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - BTO)

Heading home, almost always hard rock (and almost always Appetite For Destruction by G'n'R - one of the best rock records IMO ever recorded).

Mark Pickard Nothing! I go caching for the peace and quiet and to hear nature, defeats the object of going in my opinion (ok I sometimes go caching with someone else to have a moan and whinge about other cachers who think there IT, the weather, the state of the economy, the price of bacon, you know you've been out with me once)

Annemarie Halls Ditto. I love the peace and quiet, the birds and babbling brook the only sound track I need.

Tim Hewison

U2, of course!

I have climbed the highest mountains

I have run through the fields

GGH Tips..

We love hitting the bike trails for some #geocaching. There's a number of things to do to make sure that the bike works well (and we talked about many on "GGH 165: Bicycle Maintenance I" by Danno of Team_Pugatch). One of those is to lube your bike chain but don't over do it. Too much lube can attract dirt and wear. Just drip the lube onto the chain then wipe off any excess.  cacheamaniacs.com

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

From Lucie Melen..

did something very dumb last week - looking into a tree at the split of the trunk, leaned in too far and headbutted a prickly branch, stabbing myself in the forehead and making cuts and bruises! The cache wasn't even in that tree - it was the one next to it...

From The GCDoc..

Hello "On The Sauce" and Doctor D!

 

I've been meaning to tell this tale for quite sometime as I know we've all had similar happenings while out geocaching; and as the temperature start to rise in the Northern Hemisphere, what better time than now.

 

2012 brought an early spring to the great state of Minnesota, and like all good Minnesotan geocachers do when the sun shines just a bit brighter... I came out of "hibernation". I was very eager to start caching more you see, as winter caching in the upper Midwest can be very challenging. It's tough finding geocaches when buried 3 feet under snow, and difficult writing on logs when you can't feel your fingers.

 

The day was gorgeous! The sun was bright, warm, and persuading the winter snow to melt away. I was enjoying a lunch hour at a nearby park known for it's great geocache hides. I had just got out of a "mind-numbing" meeting and the fresh air was revitalizing. Of course since I was dressed to impress" I knew I wasn't going  to be able to make any real wooded finds, so while glancing at my phone I noticed a cache that was only a 100ft off of the paved trail.I figured I may as well look and see what the terrain was like before resorting to a P&G.

 

As I neared the cache I saw a green welcoming meadow with some tree cover bordering on the opposite side of the trail. With only 100 and some odd feet to the cache, it had to be just in the treeline. Ultimately the obsession won the debate whether to attempt this cache or not, and found myself already  halfway across the field. Upon arriving to the treeline the phone read another 50ft or so, but I told myself the accuracy was probably a bit off and the cache must be nearby. I let the GPS accuracy settle a little to realize my intuition was wrong. It seemed like I may have approached the woods on the wrong side, and if I wanted to avoid walking 2 miles I needed to do some bushwhacking.

 

Ok so You're probably thinks so what? 30-40ft of bushwhacking?!? do it! Remember though the state of my attire and the impending mud and water that follows a winters thaw.

 

Once again the internal conflict between common sense and caching addiction ensued. Which do you think won?..... I found my self tiptoeing into the brush feeling the squish of soft earth under my black leather dress shoes. With one hand holding the phone guiding me to the cache, the other swatting branches like flies I neared GZ... until I came upon the very thing I hoped I wouldn't have to deal with.... water! A small babbling brook stood between me and grabbing a smilie. It wasn't much of a stream but just wide enough and probably deep enough to cause me to stomp away with wet socks. "What's this? a bridge?" I noticed off to my left a small man-made bridge consisting of sticks and branches that some cacher most likely placed for people like me. The ones who weren't prepared with waterproof hiking boots. A sigh of relief as I know could cross untouched and bag the find...."SPLASH!"

 

That's right.... up to my waist in cold, murky, stinky water. The surrounding foliage and stick bridge must have played an evil trick on my eyes as to this day I still don't understand what exactly happened. All I recall is the log I chose to step up decided to move out of it's way and my left leg went all the way under along with half of my right all the while releasing a very girly "shriek".

 

Well.. I made the find, signed the log and slunk out of the woods on the opposite side I came in. I was wet, cold, embarrassed, and angry with myself for what just happened. As I look back now, I wish I would have been a vlogger then as it would have made one heck of a video! The morale of the story.... leave an extra set of dry clothes in your vehicle! Even if you think that this would never happen to you!

 

Cheers guys, keep up the awesome show!

Sorry I didn’t back to you earlier but I have only recently  listened to the podcast and heard a couple of queries about my email.

 

With regard to Trapezia Lick, I first tried to find the cache in June 2009 with my old yellow garmin etrex H and had 3 or 4 attempts over a 2 week period.

 

The hill to the cache is steep but the cache is at the bottom where it is not too bad. There is a lot of tree cover so it is hard to get a good reading on the GPS.

 

There is also more than one fallen tree in the area and I reckon I have searched under every one but obviously not the right one.

 

I had another couple of tries in  September of 2012, this time using my new eTrex 30 but again the cache remained elusive.

 

I will be back there again later this year and will have another go.

 

As far as differences go between running in Perth and running in England well to sum it up in one word is ‘mud’

 

The area around Perth is sand and even after heavy rain it is just wet sand. The paths I run along in the UK turn to muddy tracks after just a light shower. Not many people in Perth own a pair of wellington boots but it seems they are standard issue for anyone in  the UK that does a bit of walking.

 

However all that rain and mud does have a huge benefit. It produces a lot of green foliage. My wife used to tell me (she was born in England)  that Perth isn’t as green as England and I never believed her until I visited.  The paths through the woods in England are usually lined lush trees and shrubs with moss growing on the fallen trees and moist leaf litter on the ground,  very different to a path through the bush here.

 

I have attached 2 photos. One is a path along the River Itchen near Fairoak, Hampshire and the other taken along a track around a lake not far from my home. Both were taken in the summer time.

 

Looking forward to trying to beat my nemesis next time.

 

Cheers

Hey Oh Beep Folks

 

I just caught the first half of the latest episode and was impressed by the tale from Shorty Knits on her epic attempt to complete the Church Micro challenge.

 

Personally I think she should have been entered into the drawing. She certainly did all she could have to complete it, and was only thwarted by Mother Nature.

 

I did want to respond to a comment that Banana Sauce said about being surprised about the lack of caches with the name Church in them. This is not because of a lack of caches placed at churches, but rather not using Church in the name.

 

In my 4000-ish finds I only have 5 caches with the word Church in the title.

 

To further outline my point, I have exactly 5 caches in a 30 mile radius of my town with the name Church in the title, 3 of which I have found. However there are an estimated(because I am going from memory) 20 caches, out of the 400 or so caches I've found in my 30 mile radius that are placed at church's.  This number likely quadruples if you go with caches placed near churches (i.e. where you can see a church from GZ). Mind you, I live in the US South, aka the Bible Belt, and there are churches pretty much everywhere you go.

 

I was unable to complete this challenge.  Hopefully I'll have better luck with the next one.

 

Cheers

The Ay Up Me Duck Challenge..

So far we have one entry for the challenge, from Lucie Melen:

I happened to get 3 finds on Saturday so thought I'd go for it. Got one yesterday - a FTF :D and so just had to get 4 today... mission accomplished this evening! Then the minute we walked back in the door we got 3 new cache notifications - and we couldn't go out for them or we'd have got 7 for the day and ruined the pattern!

The challenge

This months challenge is entitled the pi challenge and will mean you will have to cache for 3 consecutive days. On day 1 you are to find 3 (and only 3) caches. The next day you need just 1 cache and on day 3 you must find just 4 (and no more) caches.

The Obligatory Doctor Who Bit..

Hey hey,

 

Hope you're both well, I've been listening to your podcasts for a few months now and must say I'm really enjoying it (except when you tell your son you love him obviously).  I check my phone specially on a Sunday night now just to listen to it... disappointment this Sunday though!!

 

Every time you talk about Dr Who I always say to myself I should email you guys to let you know of an EPIC Dr Who series near me which I am close to completing.  The series is literally on my doorstep so I've managed to complete it in a couple of months but perhaps you guys would need to dedicate some serious time and planning to complete this?  Its a 50 cache series, with around 30 odd traditionals, two 10-stage multies, 8 puzzles and a letterbox.  It really is a brilliant series, here are some GC codes for you to look at:

 

A random traditional - GC4T7DN
One of the puzzles - GC4NQ14
A multi - GC4PA63

 

All the other caches are in the same general area (plus a couple of mine too!!).

 

If you want any other info on it let me know or speak to the CO, he's a top bloke and keeps all the caches well maintained.  The CO goes by the name of OldPennies and myself Geo-Ref.  Even if you don't give it a go, I thought it might be a good cache series to bring up on your show anyway.

Hi ya its j+b.arsenal hear any chance you can solve   GC3FG90 Childhood Hero by Ottaway's123 for me please?

Thank you

 

Mark, you called me out for being "competitive" and I am. Challenge accepted! Like I told you, we don't have "Church Micros" here in the states. What we have are "Spirit Quest" caches in cemeteries. In fact, of my 5700 finds I had found only two with the word "church" in the title. I did a quick search and found that there are exactly six caches containing the word "church" within a 30-mile radius of my house. I knew the chances were slim, but I wasn't about to let that stop me from trying. One of the caches had a string of DNFs and was clearly missing, so that one was dropped from my list right away.

 

I headed out Sunday afternoon, in 15*F temps and getting over a bad cold, to find the other 5. The first cache I went to was Church Road Park (GCX1W0), which was about a half an hour from my house. The park was not surprisingly abandoned, and I made the relatively easy trek to GZ where I stood scratching my head. It's very possible that the snow and frozen ground caused me to search the wrong part of the right host, but it's also a possibility that the host has been altered since the cache was last found. Or it's even more possible that I was searching the wrong host altogether, although I did expand my search by up to 50 feet in all directions. DNF. Bummer. I remembered that I had a backup "church" cache about 50 miles in the other direction that was near where I pick up my son from his dad's house, so there was still a chance of finding five. 

 

I moved on to the second cache, Churchill Island (GC1N3CT). The walk to GZ was quiet and peaceful. I stopped for a few pictures along the way. I got to GZ and searched for a good half an hour, digging through the foot of snow on the ground with a stick, poking along in the hopes that I would stumble across the container. Unfortunately the snow made this one much too difficult, and the GPS bounce didn't help matters. Even a quick PAF didn't help. So I had to walk away without a smiley. Strike two. By this time I was cold and frustrated. But I am not a quitter.

 

I wasn't far from the third cache, Churchville Cemetery "Illinois Spirit Quest" (GC2V1M1), so I headed over. It's a multi placed by my friend, Dutchlandian, from Holland. (Hi Ans!) I arrived at the posted coords and thought there was no way I'd be able to read the headstone with all of the snow. Luckily though I was able to brush away the top few inches, which was enough to read all of the inscriptions. I did some quick calculations and was off to the final. Finally! I am so glad this one is hidden where and how it is, so that I could get at least one smiley today! 

 

I was feeling a little more optimistic now, and moved on to Who Has a "Church Key" (GC29ZHV). The closest parking was about 500 feet away and I had to walk along a busy road to get to GZ. I wasn't sure what to expect here, given the large percentage of DNFs and the fact that the description says it's not winter friendly. I was happy to find that the "rock" (a Rolling Rock bottle cap) that the cache is under according to the hint was in full view! Somehow there was no snow on the ground in only this one small area. I seemed to be on a roll. But then ... I tried to pick up the cache. It wouldn't budge. I found a stick and tried to pry it up. It started to move a little, so I wedged my finger between it and the ground and pulled. Something came loose all right, but it was just the bottle cap, and the cache itself was still stuck in the frozen ground. The wire attaching the cap to the cache pulled right through the cap. Oh no! I broke the cache! (An apology email was sent to the C.O.) I tried and tried, but the ground was just too frozen and I could not get the container unstuck. Despite finding the cache, I could not put my signature on the log so no smiley here for me.

 

So at only one find out of four attempts, most people would probably just go home. Not me though. I was only a mile or so from the last cache, Anybody Got a Church Key? (GC5AF83), and had no choice but to finish my list. This one is on private property (with permission of course), around the back side of a small local brewery, Church Street Brewing Company. Even though it was Sunday and there was no one around, I still felt a bit uneasy walking around the building. I was very happy that this was a quick and easy find! Retrieval and replacement on the other hand, not so easy being only 5 feet tall. But I got the job done. 

 

Final stats for the day: 4 hours, 70 miles, 5 attempts, 2 finds. February Challenge = DNF.

 

Thanks for the fun adventure! I'm looking forward to next month's challenge.

Ask Doctor D..

Greetings, Doctor D, from Detroit, Michigan - USA!

I’m scrapcat, and I have an etiquette question about Favorite points.

Recently, I had two different experiences where cachers wrote in their logs that they were giving my cache a Favorite Point.  But when I check the “Who Favorited this cache…” their favorite points weren’t listed.  I’m assuming they either forgot to do it or changed their mind or don’t know how to do it.

Is it appropriate to contact them and ask them to add the favorite point? And, if so, what is the best way to go about it without alienating them?

Thank you and happy caching!

Well done on the Feb challenge. Ady was having a moan earlier in the car as we were listening to your last show saying you wouldn't let him join in the competition but then had to eat his words!!

Anyway this months challenge is entitled the pi challenge and will mean you will have to cache for 3 consecutive days. On day 1 you are to find 3 (and only 3) caches. The next day you need just 1 cache and on day 3 you must find just 4 (and no more) caches.   By Sunday we will have done 7 days of pi (3.141592) and it's killing us just doing that number on the day.  This all ties in with a challenge I am waiting to be published.
