What software did you use to edit?

ULead VideoStudio 10.0 but I'm sure there are newer versions around.

For those of you who haven't yet had enough of the Wagga Mega Event ( ), I have posted a video on my blog.

It's about 8 minutes long. Enjoy!

Winner of the longest distance achieved during the race: The Spindoctors (Yay! for us) Winner of the highest challenges achieved during the race: Margieh Did any get home in time? Our TB just went to Las Vegas and is now heading to Norway (up to 60,000km). Plain crazy! Unfortunately none made it ho...

I liked that they catered for the kids as well as the adults. I liked that they organised meals, games and entertainment.

And how amazing were those bonfires!??!

With only a few days to go until the race ends, where is your TB?

Will anybody make a last minute dash to Wagga Wagga?

Can you also give me some indication of how many TBs/coins have gone missing in action?

Lots of coffee and a few bottles of homebrewed beer?

Not sure if I missed this on the forums, but Garmin have announced the discontinuation of many of their cheaper trail GPSrs. This includes the beginner's eTrex as well as the Colorado 400 series GPS receivers. :shock: This has possibly been caused by the boom in cheap phone GPSrs. Look forward to so...

Indeed. Distance is only an issue for those who don't live around GCA cacher rich areas. I'm toying with the idea of: (Finds + (recommendations * factor) - ratings of 1, 2 + ratings of 4, 5) / by # finds. That averages out the results by taking into account a cache that has 10 finds vs. one that ha...

I used a Garmin while travelling the US in a rental car and absolutely loved it! I vowed never to buy anything else. However, I recently bought a Tom Tom Go 730 (at a $200 discounted price) and it is great. The interface is simple (the huge screen helps), the voice is clear, the directions around Me...

Not sure if I ever posted these, but this is what I had to travel to South Africa with originally. I was so paranoid of losing the TBs, that I carried them all in hand luggage: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/4158858921_ae8c8f42b4_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2723/4158858915_5227436451_o...

This has been quiet for a while, only 4 months to go. For "Photo at" challenges. If the photo was taken by the cacher retreiving the coin as part of the move to the next cache, should it be claimed agains the waypoint they took the cache from (as this is where the photo was taken) or the waypoint t...

I guess I'm in trouble then... Within 10 km radius There are 91 caches (47 unfound). Within 20 km radius There are 350 caches (264 unfound). Within 30 km radius There are 728 caches (628 unfound). Within 40 km radius There are 1,091 caches (957 unfound). Within 50 km radius There are 1,249 caches (1...

"Geocaching has now been picked up by Hollywood. A new movie, called Splinterheads, hitting screens in November, contains a plot that revolves around a geocaching adventure." You can see a teaser here: http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2009/10/geocaching-movie.html There's also some info about a p...

This thread has inspired me to put my phone number in each of my caches so that if people are having trouble finding it they can call me ......... ](*,) :lol: Bit hard to call you for help when they need to find the cache to get your number... :roll: I usually put most of my notes in the gc.com log...

Sounds like fun, I'm in C@W.
