Geocaching Australia

Just a little off topic. Cachers who don't post dnfs (and there are a few pretty prominent teams who don't) are a blight on the community. There have been several instances where I've posted a dnf for a cache, waited and watched for a while until the owner visited it, found it to be missing and repl...

Ditto, & if it makes any difference it is Symbian s60v5 with the default browser on the n97 (not the n97 mini).
But thanks for the chance to finally try out the new barcode reader so not a total loss.

So just 4 months later a bunch of farmers knock up an airoplane in their shed and say - gee I wonder if it will work :shock: Because that's what farmers do in sheds isn't it? :-$ I remember a time in our cousin's shed we managed to put a V8 engine in the local scout dingy. It wasn't an over all suc...

Just be aware too that some of the rite in the rain papers are laser printing only and some are ink jet only.

Just an idea to throw out there, what about a round one like the origional pathtag?

But if he did it with a team, what is to stop each of the team having an identical stamp and caching the trail individually?
That way if for instance there are three in his team they each might have done only a third of the 917 caches. That means about 306 caches each person might have visited?

The weird thing we have found is when going through those fixed spots that tell you your speed, we have found our GPSr and car speedo to be in agreement and the camera to be out by 8km/h every time i.e if we are doing 100 according to GPSr & car, the fixed cameras tell us 92. Just another plot to ge...

Been caching by bike for a couple of years but not exclusively by bike. I still prefer to wind up windows when the rain starts. :lol: I ride a Suzuki DL650 (Vstrom) with a Garmin 60csx held in a genuine bike mount. There is no vibration using the mount but the screen is a bit hard to read in sunlig...

But not on the screen though?

The powertank does everthing the space pen does (they are both pressurised) and at a lot less money it's a no brainer.

Ours is at home right now waiting for Spice to open the envelope!

:-$ ***Off topic*** für everyone with a oregon this might be interesting - I know it's in German but it is self-explaining: http://beidou.ch/hintergrund there you can create a background image with your contact details in case you loose your unit. Cheers Philipp Is there anything like this for the d...

MM means it's an oregon not a dakota, see the orange bit sticking out the top.

We use a mirror all the time.
Great for those caches you can't see under without being obvious, sure saves those nasty finger surprises too.

Either way, it now works for me!
