Discussion about How To Fix Geocaching blog post on www.ohbeep.com - go to www.ohbeep.com/fixgeocaching to read the full post. Main complaints we’ve noticed from Geocachers:

Traditionals aren’t what they used to be
New geocachers are to blame for the poor quality of caches hidden
New cachers don’t know what they’re doing
New cachers ask stupid questions
Established cachers are cliquey and unwelcoming

Ask Dr D..

From Brilang

Dear Dr. D. Is Wales a separate country from England? Why/why not? Are there border guards & crossings?

From StridentUK

You’re going for a “troll” cache under a footbridge. You touch the container just as you lose your footing and... plop… the cache falls straight in to the fast moving stream and starts bobbing down the river.

What could you do? (What “should” you do?)

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

Get muggled during a Periscope recording showing a cool #sightsofgeocaching.

GGH Tips..

Want to watch the journey of a #Geocaching.com trackable? You can click on the the "View in Google Earth" link from the trackable's page to download a KML file which opens in Google Earth allowing you to fly along the stops. That was just one of the many fun topics in "GGH 162: Randomize XXXI."

Decembers Challenge

For those in Notts, they have to find 2 of the new Christmas caches that are going out daily. For others, 2 caches with Christmas related words in title.

From Lucie Meelen

Hello lovely lads. Here is my entry for the Christmas-related Cache Challenge. Someone has to go for the religious side of Christmas, and it might as well be me.

So my two are "Christchurch" (how much more Christmas-related can you get?) and "Father, Son and Holey Post". And just in case you're not at all religious and/or a Life of Brian fan, I realised when doing the screen shot that my next cache could also be construed as Christmas-related! "Brian Revisited".

Thank you and a very happy Christmas to you both and the rest of the family. smile emoticon xxx
