Have you heard of the free online geology time course via earthcache academy?

I learned so much about the amazing geology and history of the Jurassic Coast that is on my door step.

If you would like to learn more about geology, you can also look at doing the free online Geology Time course through the Earthcache Academy like I did: earthcacheacademy.org

G'day Mates,

Just listened to the most recent pod cast, can't believe I was the only one to properly do the September EY up me Duck challenge :) I'm sure I will look awesome in an Oh Beep t-shirt (will send you my details in another email).

I will have to send you guys some audio at some point, you haven't even gotten close with the accent, just incase I don't get on to it in time do your best maybe try channeling Crocodile Dundee or Hugh Jackman?

Just to avoid confusing you further on FB I share an account with my wife (Mrs) Virginia (Mr) Damian Cranwell :)

Just in case you were wondering L is our daughter, making our caching name D&V&L.

Keep up the great work guys :)
Look forward to the next podcast,
Bye

GGH Tips..

It might sound simple, but it's important to remember to tie off your #kayak securely before exiting the boat to find that #geocache. You really don't want to return to find your boat has floated away. The LANMonkeys even shared their recent close call in "GGH 173: Kayaking I."

Ey Up Me Duck Challenge.. 

Find 2 caches with halloween / autumn related words in the title

Feedback from Anteus..

Howdy from Texas!

I’ve been listening to the show for at least a few months now after hearing it mentioned a few times on some of the geocaching related podcasts from here in the States. I think this Ey Up Me Duck challenge thing is some sort of contest… shoot, I don’t know, I can only understand Mark most of the time, and not a word of what Doctor D says! ;) So I think I’m submitting my entry for October! Here goes:

I found two caches with ghost in the title and actually placed one with the word ghoul in it! The first cache I found was GC64MRE, “Ghost Stories: Glow In The Dark Under The Tree” and I was actually FTF! It was about 350 feet away from the posted coordinates but the hint got me to where I needed to be. The other cache was GCB5F0, “Ghost Children” which is a virtual at a local haunted location where the ghosts of the children killed in a collision with a train are said to push cars off of the tracks. 

I also placed a cache over the weekend… an idea I sort of got from listening to Geosnippits. I 3D printed a zombie hand and had my wife paint it to look all gruesome… I then placed it outside of a cemetery where it looks to be reaching up out of the dirt with a bison tube stuck on one of its fingers. It’s GC6596A, “The Lost Cemetery of Alexander the Ghoul”.

Oh and what the heck does Ey Up Me Duck mean?! Keep up the offensiving! Oh yeah, and I too am a Doctor Who fan… well, a convert of the last year or so. Almost caught up to the 12th doctor.

An exclusive announcement - sent in via e mail from Marcus Maximus.  

 

At some point on Thursday in Cambridgeshire & Bedfordshire the UKs biggest geocache circuit will be published weighing in at a massive 479 caches.

Set by myself and Ross (ryo62) over the course of the last 4 months it is mostly traditional micros with a few mysteries, multis and letterboxes thrown in.16 caches have clues in (each one duplicated, so you only need 8) to the final #424 which has the coordinates to #425 in it.

You guys are the FIRST and ONLY people to know before it goes live at some point on Thursday afternoon.

Hope you get this before they go live and manage to push out a micro-podcast world exclusive!!

Doctor Who features a Geocache

Tenerife becomes a Nemesis Cache

Last Week..

BananaSource and Miss Watto went Geocaching in The Peak District.  We did the TRotAM series by Paperballpark.  Here is the description

This series of 50 caches will take you through the classic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The caches are set on a walk of approx. 13 miles, giving stunning views of some of the best scenery in the Peak District National Park.

We managed just over 7 miles of the walk, with 16 finds.  We took a wrong turn at one point, which cut the walk short.

Roman ruins in Cadiz at risk from ‘geocaching’ (From theolivepress.es)

Baelo Claudia’s management says the practice is causing major structural damage, particularly to the stone wall of the parking lot where geocaches are hidden.

They claim that stones are being moved, causing damage to walls as well as resulting in tripping hazards.

Furthermore, they intend to take legal action to prevent geocaching on the ancient site, in accordance with the Andalucía heritage laws.

This bomb is not a Geocache (From grandforksherald.com)

The apparent bomb is not a geocaching marker or some other innocuous device, said Detroit Lakes Police Chief Tim Eggebraaten.

“Whoever left it definitely wanted us to think it was a bomb,” he said.

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

Moan-A-Lot loggs 400 caches incorrectly

Logged 407 caches via gsak saying I was on the bloody Langollen canal (ask Colin French how to pronounce it) when really in was doing the 360° compass series in bodmin, different country for Christ's sake! Moral of the story check your template!

#blamemoanalot

This weeks in political.  Nothing to do with Geocaching, but then what on this show is.  I blame moan a lot for David Cameron being Prime Minister.  He voted for him and now we have a man who has had relations with a pigs head as our Prime Minister.

GGH Tips..

#Geocaching.com has an easy way to see all the stops along a trackable's journey as it dips into #events and #geocaches. The "View Map" link above the trackable's logs will show all the stops of a trackable journey on a single map image. It also lists each stop with all the logs for all the detail. Thanks to debaere for sharing that tip with us on "GGH 162: Randomize XXXI."

Nemesis Geocache...

From Marcus Maximi..

Everyone has their nemesis cache. I've had a few, but they're usually sorted after a couple or three visits and a couple of hints from previous finders or the CO replacing them but there's one that's been bugging me for several years - Sie Ihren Wagon by Wybo Lakes.

It is situated in the car park of Lidl in St Neots and I have a look for it every time I've been there shopping. That's quite a few times! But never any joy.

Last time I went I saw that all the trees had had a severe hair cut, I had a look around, checked the floor too, but no joy. It must have gone.

Yesterday I went back and everything is still very bare but I went and had a loko anyway. It was dark and rainy by ow and I didn't hold out much hope but I thought I'd have a quick look anyway.
I went back to the place where I always look first and there it was, just sitting there in the open for all to see!!

Unbelievable! This has been more of a nemesis than Oh Beep's airport cache!!!

From StaticJay

Great managed to find 1 cache and had about 15 dnfs. All the caches on the island are placed by Germans and even the easy ones are Flipping deadly!

cache hint under a black rock on an Island made of black Fecking rocks!

Clambering over said black rocks made of lava that have been baking in 33 degree heat all their lives.

Plus all the details and logs were in German.

If I hadnt had the Baby out with me I would not have quit.

In fact I am officially regestering the Island of Tenerife as my nemesis cache.

Ey Up Me Duck Challenge..

August/September Winners.

August

Marcus Maximi

September

Hi Guys,

Thought I had better get my entry in for Septembers challenge Ey Up Me Duck challenge

http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3CBHY_daniel-in-the-lions-den?guid=01f0ff7e-7c60-40ae-91da-0e72a095ed07

Daniel in the Lions Den not only does it have an animal in its name but it is by Lone Wolf plus one, so animal name in the CO's name as well, surely that's worth two entries :) 4 star difficulty but hidden in plain sight made this a quick easy find. Mind you I knew this would be an easy challenge as there is a large series called animal facts hidden all over the place near where we live, so I had plenty to choose from.

Unfortunately even with the bonus time won't be able to get August's challenge done, sadly Uni assignment don't just write themselves, o well only another three weeks to go of the semester, then maybe I might have some more time for caching :)

Keep up the great work guys, look forward to the next show.

Bye

Hello :)

 

As the last day of September appeared we realised that we hadn't found any animal named caches so a cache hunt was needed on CG.com, the only one un-found by both @(B and I locally was  GC4Q1YC Anti-Tank Bouys (Glynde). So we headed out after dark to find and sign the log, knowing that we would be pushing our luck with this one. Anyway the cache was located and the challenge has either been achieved or we failed..... so we Ask Doctor D Yes or No :)

 

Looking forward to find out what cunning challenge will be set this month.

 

Keep up the good work
