Thank anonymous for $25 donation. Feedback... From Sebastian, on YouTube "Nature poo" issue is nothing unusual. Talking about it is the same as talking about any other of aspect of hiking, at least among hikers. :) Questions from the audience... From @Seb_Mya on Twitter I have some about the walk. 1. Do you like hiking at all? 2. Physical training is important but the real battle will be on a mental level - how will you prepare yourself for that. 3. Do you want to complete the walk no matter what (example: bad weather, injuries)? General Topics... What is the difference between a walk and a hike - talk about how my PT says I should walk the dog and take a hike, as if the two are different. So it seems that hiking and walking often are the same thing, and the best outdoors people have difficulty in drawing the line of when a walk becomes a hike. http://walking.yoexpert.com How has training gone this week? What have we ticked off the to do list? Photos From Previous Hikes...     Contact the show... Website: www.ohbeepgcp.com E-mail: ohbeeppodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @Ohbeepgcp

On this weeks show... There is a Geocache 129m away from where I am sat and another 394m away. I've lived in this place, during the week, for the last two years.  Yet I still haven't even attempted to find these Geocaches. Why not? I'm saving them for when I NEED to find them for whatever reason, a streak, a milestone maybe. I'm lazy.  I drive right past both of them on the way to and from work.  Its effort to stop the car and have a look. One is overlooked by a house.  That puts me off instantly. If I'm honest, I'd prefer to explore somewhere new.  I can find these caches anytime. Fundraising...

On this weeks show... Geocaching.com news Let’s talk some more about geocache quality I'm discussing the traits of a good Geocacher Log's DNF's - if its really missing, other than regular maintenance checks, this is the best way for the cache owner to find out if there is a potential issue. Carry out on the fly repairs to geocaches - often just replacing the paper, sometimes the container if damaged. Puts the cache back where it was found, not where they think it should go. Move that trackable on, don't just let it sit in the bottom of your gym bag. Contact the show... Website: www.ohbeepgcp.com E-mail: ohbeeppodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @Ohbeepgcp

On this weeks show... MC Binary brings his rapping talents to breakdown what Geocaching is - check him out on Soundcloud: Geocaching by MC Binary The song is that good, I decided to play it in its entirety as the sole content for this episode.

On this weeks show... I settle the debate on if Geocaching is a game or a sport. The only difference between golf and Geocaching is one has a ball and the other has tupperware (other cache containers are available).  Therefore, Geocaching is a sport. I also examine some of the benefits of Geocaching, specifically the positives of being outdoors in nature: Being outdoors is our best source of vitamin d - which is beneficial to our immune systems. Improved sleep - Here's the link. Sleep patterns > Body Clock > The Suns's schedule. Spending time away from natural light breaks the chain and therefore our sleep patterns. Exercise - The benefits here are obvious. BUT, exercising outdoors - as opposed to a gym - can lead to more energy being exerted. Plus its more enjoyable being outdoors, so you're likely to do it longer. Mental Health - Improved attention span. Boosts serotonins (makes you feel good). Being out in nature increases activity in parts of the brain linked with empathy and emotional stability (urban environments can cause fear and anxiety). #geocachingcreators...

On this weeks show... It occurred to me the other day, while I was planning a day out Geocaching, that I actively avoid hide types and series types and vice versa on the caches I will do.  Most notable on this list and why: Won't Do's Little Bridges series - they usually involve a single plank timber bridge over a ditch. That also means the cache is usually underneath the plank. I'm not getting on my hands and knees in the middle of winter weather, especially if its cold and wet. Anything involving water - for obvious reasons. Anything in the woods - spent too many Geocaching trips face down in muddy puddles in the woods for comfort. Any involving steep inclines - Yes, I have slipped on several occasions. Will Do's  Urban hides - Those with no mud Hedgerows - The geocaches are easier to spot in winter Church Micros - Mostly like urban geocaches Any on a cycle route - flat, no mud #geocachingcreators This Is Geocaching by The Downunder Geocaching Adventures of No Tomorrow Contact the show...

On this weeks show... There have been lots of changes in technology in the six years since I started Geocaching. In this episode I talk about what has changed in the equipment I use. The answer is surprising. Sebastian (from Twitter) First two months I was using map printouts with a cross marking the spot - true treasure hunt. :) It was before smartphones - Nokia era. StaticJay (Twitter) I still use an entry level gpsr, when I can be bothered. But I mostly use what ever smart phone I have to hand at the time, due to it being a pain in the ass to load my Garmin. #geocachingcreators Bob Billy's DNF Avenged - Cache Tales Neil Moore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R47xx0W03Vg Contact the show... E-mail: ohbeeppodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @Ohbeepgcp

On this weeks show... Back to the new format. I will be talking about the little things I forgot when I was on my Geocaching hiatus: ICP = Ivy Covered Post.  A cache hide I detest and try to avoid. Geocaching with a big format phone in one hand, a bouncy dog on the end of a lead in the other isn't easy. Oh and don't forget the poo bag. I take it back about the quality of the Geocaches out there now.  I did a series called Get Your Kicks by Bozzer123, that was well maintained, had some inventive caches and was a decent walk for the dog. #geocachingcreators This shows #geocaching creator is Geocaching Gal, who has been live streaming her finds on Twitch.  You can find her on Twitter as @geocachinggal and Twitch as not surprisingly Geocachinggal.

On this weeks show... Featuring special guest Mr Scott Berks of The Geocaching Podcast, with an exclusive announcement. Song mention at the start of the conversation Geocaching by MC Binery Miss Watto and I were recently doing a virtual cache in Loughborough (GC7B956 War Memorial #388 - Loughborough Carillon Tower by sixxdoguk). Without giving too much away the cache required us to count the number of letters on the memorial plaques at the cache location.  Mid-way through counting it occurred to me how foolish we must look to anyone passing by.  The technique we both employed was the stand very close to the plaques and run our fingers along the surface to keep track of where we'd counted to. We're both professional people, stood in a part, at a war memorial standing close to a wall counting letters.  There are people I work with who use that park, anyone of them could have observed me. Did this stop either of us?  Not in the slightest.  We were determined to get that find.  Plus we were having a good afternoon caching, making the most of the good weather while it lasted. Scott tells the story of Geocaching under an outdoor cinema screen and a really funny story about Walt Grogan face planting in to a pond. #geocachingcreators Diary of Physicist Farmgirl by Debra Burris Contact the show...

On this weeks show... A newspaper story about two Geocachers who found £24k of heroin in Dundee, Scotland.  Source: Dundee Evening Telegraph   Also, a sort of retro discussion on using a mobile phone or a GPSr for Geocaching.  The Geogearheads show this week will be covering this topic in more detail.   Listener Questions...   Two from the boys over at The Talking Crass Podcast.     What the hell is geocashing? Beat and I are intrigued!!   What is your best find?  GC13089 Cretehawser by broadsword   #geocachingcreators   Thinks I've seen in the creator community that I want to share.   A video from The Creative Guy, who was given the following challenge. I was given a challenge to build a geocache with only things in my garage, within two hours. Oh did I mention that I've been up since 4am?   Contact the show...

Way back in March 2016 Scott Berks (of Geocaching Podcast fame) released a little Fisher Price man in to the world, its mission to wing its way to me in Nottingham.   Check the little feller out here.   The original mission was:   "Originally trying to get to Nottingham"   Well he made it to Nottingham, after a 2.5 year 21600 mile journey.   Now its my turn to return him.   Contact the show: Email - ohbeeppodcast@gmail.com

Back in October 2013 the GeogearHeads podcast (www.geogearheads.com) did an episode about the History of Podcasting (www.cacheamaniacs.com/ggh-093-history-of-podcasting). This episode featured Rob Walch, from media hosting site Libsyn. Without the above podcast episode there would be no Oh Beep! After hearing it, we had a "we can do that" mentality. To take things full circle. Back in April 2016 DarrylW4 conducted a series of interview with geocaching podcasters. Profiling each one and why they do it. Those profiles were never released to the GGH feed. This episode is the audio from the Oh Beep! session. The hope is that someone hearing this will have a "I can do that" moment and start their own podcast. We'd like to thank the GeoGearHeads and DarrylW4 for all they have done to help us over the years.

This Week.. Geocaching and zombies Scotts geocaching bag tips BananaSource does something dumb with an “archived” geocache Last Week.. Scott warned us that after so many episodes podcasting would become a chore.  After so many episodes it wasn’t podcast that became a chore, it was geocaching. Very little of note is happening in this space anymore. How can you tell? News.. Geocaching mentioned on IZombie Everett Geocache Hunt Finds Explosives (From http://myeverettnews.com) Feedback.. Apparently Chicago and Detroit aren’t US states - thanks to Marcus Maximi and DarrylW4 for point this out to us. Lucie Melen adds to the list of Doctor Who related Geocaches for Doctor D’s world tour. I found a cache in Cardiff at the weekend that you would have liked! GC1A119 - Who Was Here 3: The Runaway Nan-O What A Liberty Another of the caches that take you to filming locations for the Doctor Who series, though in this case it was actually a Christmas Special (The Runaway Bride). Ask Dr D.. Hello Dr D I hope that you've enjoyed the Christmas season and that you got everything you ever wished for. Well here's the thing. I was lucky enough to be given a brand new geocaching bag. My old one had served me for 5 years and had finally fallen apart, not helped by driven over by an idiot when I was out recently but that's another story. I think that is is the time to have a good clear out of my old bag and only put into it things which I really need when I'm out geocaching. So here's my question, what should I put into my bag to ensure that I a) travel light but b) have everything I need? Look forward to hearing intelligent, well considered input. Thanks Matt Bingothebountyhunter Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do.. From Marie Pickard Dumb Stuff Geocachers do: leave a biro pen in their trouser pocket after a days caching = a load of washing ruined by ink! Also.. BananaSource dumbly didn’t check a Geocaches status before deciding it was part of an archived series.

Intro… StaticJay rant about Moan-A-Lot Moan-A-Lots new FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1509075679399447/ Countries we’ve experienced? Before you go - In date passport -  Miss Watto’s ran out before we went to Ireland Do you even need a passport? Think about what you wear when when travelling, it can cause an inconvenience at the airport. Mobile data - after breathing and a passport, the most important thing for most modern travellers.  Jamie got a good deal on his. I used EE add on (#5 per day for 100mb of data)  3 feel at home PAYG 15 quid top up, has went up to 25 I think. But 20GB data good calls and text packge. Need to check country's available. In a previous conversation with DW4 he mentions that in the states you roam to T-Mobile with it and they are shit out of the city. Travel insurance - compare the market sites are ok, but there is a reason that cheapest deal is so cheap. This is one area I won’t skimp on.  I use my bank acc. Most people forget to check if their bank offers this as part of their acc and end up paying for a service that have already paid for. E1 11 form. How much luggage? Can you get away with travelling light; ie, one carry on bag with a few bits of clothing in? Remember who you are travelling with. When I travel with Miss Watto, I know we’ll need to pay the extra for putting luggage in the hold. Be aware of how much you can take, weight restrictions and size restrictions. Consult the locals - It’s an internet world and we’re geocachers, it’s a small but mostly friendly community. Find a FB group for the area you’re visiting and get as much local knowledge as you can.  Not only about Geocaches, but also places to visit, eat, stay etc. Geocaching - Pick out some of the more interesting caches in the place you are going. Pre-load them on to your GPSr - CHECK that the GPSr is working BEFORE you leave home (mine wasn’t). GoPro have linked up with Periscope Be aware of any rules for the place you’re visiting. In Cuba GPSr’s and phones with location trackers are illegal.

Ey Up Me Duck Challenge.. 4:25 Hi Mark, So how many of the 12 Challenges did Oh Beep manage to achieve?   How many of the caching resolutions you made last January did you manage? Can you remember what they were?????   The ones below were ours: To find 3000 caches this year - this was hard work and wouldn't have been achievable without (and you won't believe this!!) Moan-a-Lot's help and the rest of Team Compass To try and clear a 10km radius from house - we have done well but too many people putting new caches out!!!! Plus there are numerous puzzles I am still working my way through To clear at least another 60 days from our date found calendar (currently at 242/366). - completed although we still need 2 days to complete every date. One date in Jan and then the elusive Feb 29th To complete and find at least 10 Challenge caches - we have been completing Challenge caches on and off throughout the year - the ones we have mainly focused on though were the 3000 caches in a year and cache everyday for a full year To complete DT grid. Still need: got it down to 4 from 11 to do: 1-4 / 2.5-4.5 / 4-4 / 5-4 - so this is going on our list for this coming year To cache in at least 10 more English counties (currently 31/46) now on 44/46. Complete as only need Dorset & Isle of Wight now Find some Little Quest Caches (currently 1/48) – to get us into double figures at least - now got 10/48. This is good to say we still only had 1 by the beginning of August To find 20 more caches to help go towards completing the Jasmer Challenge (caches placed – months since geocaching began) - (140/176) :  Now got 161/188 To complete caches placed (days). Find any caches in area with favourite points of over 25 - didn't quite manage this. Out of 145 caches with favourites of 25 or over within a 10km radius from home we still need to find 17 of them (some are puzzles :( and a couple are disabled) BUT we have found 128 of them. If you are continuing with challenges this year could listeners send in ideas and you and Sam could chose the one to do????   Happy New Year to you all - hope it's a good one   Denise (and Ady) Challenge Doctor D.. 17:31 Doctor D is challenged to find and log 5 Geocaches by the time we record the next episode.

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".

The second is -GC1M8P1- Glover's wig that is in Cumberland County, Maine. Glover's wig cache was out last cache to get for completing the Fizzy Challenge which I sled down the hill and ripped open my finger nail, while my wife was rapping it up I wish MoanALot was there so I could blame him.

For others, 2 caches with Christmas related words in title. News.. 26:25 Geocaching.com making reviewers reveal themselves? This was discuss on episode 427 of The Geocaching Podcast. Our view: How will this be enforced? Why just new reviewers? Why not give existing reviewers a period of time to decide if they want to carry on under the new rules or step down? Why make them reveal themselves anyway? Seems like trouble waiting to happen. Police confused by 'concerning' item in 'worrying location' - turns out to be a geocache (From www.falmouthpacket.co.uk).  Oh the shame, its in the UK. "For geocache enthusiasts out there, please continue to enjoy yourselves but do think about the item your are leaving and make sure it is marked as a geocache, the contents can be seen and be sure it cannot be mistaken for something harmful. "Finally think about where you are placing it and who might need to know it is there." Speculation about the "worrying location" included a rabbit hole or a water drainage system, possibly in Penrose woods, while one commenter said the "device" looked like " three tins of beans in some fishnet stockings." There has been a bit of a bomb scare on one of the GWW Series caches, we did a couple of weeks ago (check www.ohbeep.com/79 to hear our adventures from that series). The cache in question is No Re-Morse GC5VQ7E. Note from the CO: An update: Notts police have this cache in their possession and will be returning it to us sometime this week, this cache will be moved as it was muggled in it's recent location and reported as a bomb *sigh* please hang in there while we try and rectify this and find a new place to hide it Feedback.. 37:30 From StridentUK From Moan-A-Lot Also from StridentUK Residence of Butthole Lane Dump Their Street Name Where we’ve been/Where we’ll be.. 41:27 BananaSource appeared on a special Caching In The North West episode (LANMonkeys Geocaching Summit 2015) https://youtu.be/oQ2g2ytb_AU BananaSource will also be on a special Cache and Release podcast on 13th December.

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.   Anteaus / Jeff Arbaugh San Antonio, TX Audio from our morning doing the Hathern Trail, where we got one of the caches for the October Challenge.  The cache for the challenge was GC4F6JD Hathern Trail No.6: "Ghostly Encounter" by BalooCrew Patreon Announcement If you like what you hear and would like to support the show, we now have means by which you can.  Any support given is greatly appreciated.  Go to www.ohbeep.com/support for more information.  Thank you.

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. News..

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.

From Ey Up Me Duck Dumb stuff geocachers do: we have a bike rack which fits on our tow bar and can be lowered down to get in the boot. Ady has a few times lowered this, got stuff out the boot, raised the bike rack and got back in the car ready to drive off before realising boot us still open!! We also did a wherigo near Bourne which had clues to each stage which you had to decipher in rot 13. Annoyingly it wouldn't let you copy and paste so Ady would read out the code and I'd type them into a decoder. 3 timed during this wherigo he read me the letters to the last hint!!

Many GeoGearHeads talked about how they use mass transit when travelling to save time, money, and aggrevation on "GGH 172: Mass Transit Caching I."

Feedback.. From LANMonkey (audio) From Wet_Coaster The little-known Canadian version of American football The sports of American and Canadian football both developed in the mid-19th Century, evolving from the British game of rugby. While the two forms of gridiron are in essence the same game, there are some key rule differences. For example, Canadian football has larger pitch measurements, and one more player per side. "Canadians are acutely aware of the cultural differences [between the two countries], and acutely interested in maintaining their own separate cultural identity," he says. "The CFL is one way they can do that." David Holmes, 51, a lifelong fan of Vancouver's CFL team, the BC Lions, happily points out that the first recorded game of Canadian football took place in 1861, eight years before the first documented American football match.

Hi Guys, I hope you get a chance to read this out we are Aussies and we always get a good laugh when you guys do the accents :) Managed to complete July's Ey Up Me Duck challenge in one day. We headed out to do some caching on the 17th of July with the plan that by the end of the day we will have achieved a 5 terrain cache earned the souvenir and also made our 700th find. The cache we chose as our D5 was called Animal facts : Giraffe, which was also our 700th find. It wasn't too difficult as we had scoped out GZ a few weeks earlier so knew exactly what we needed to make the find, we were delayed slightly when grabbing this cache as the council workers were grading a nearby dirt road. As a bonus we managed to find all 5 cache types in the one day. Anyway the caches we found were;   Micro http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1X8XX_susurrating-at-the-wall   Small http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3R2TX_winding-way-to-nairne3-tally-ho   Regular (Our 700th find) http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC573EY_animal-facts-giraffe   Large http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4WMM4_animal-facts-emu   Not chosen http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4ZEC9_a-whispering-call   All up it was a successful afternoons caching with 7 finds in total.

I did not manage to find all the types in 24 hours, but that was due to there being a 14 hour drive from North Carolina to Canada (Canada oi! oi!) in the middle of the attempt.  However I got four of them (unknown, micro, small, regular), and managed to introduce 3 new people to geocaching.  The time from start to finish was just under 30 hours. I have a few large caches on my list, so I should get the 5th type before the end of the month. This was a fun challenge.   Thanks! Cheers Facts of the Uselessness.. The Obligatory Doctor Who Bit..

When Ahmed is around it is find, when he is not, it is a DNF. Is this what geocaching is supposed to be about? I don't find this fun at all. Cache owner has not been active since 2011.

Ask Doctor D.. From StridentUK What are your tips for logging finds? GGH Tips.. When planning a #geocache adventure by mass transit make sure to check the schedule. Most lines only run at certain times, and sometimes it's hours between stops. Watching the schedule will keep you from being stranded was just one of many tips from SubwayMark "GGH 172: Mass Transit Caching I."http://cacheamaniacs.com/ggh-172-mass-transit-caching-i Feedback.. Lucie Melen  I had a thought about that cache in the Peak District which you put a TB in and then found it was archived. Why don't you set up a new cache page, with the same coordinates, and called it something like "*previous cache name* revived", then there's still a cache there and people will still look for it. Obviously, this requires you being frequent enough visitors to check on it. HHH has some feedback regarding our football rant on the last episode of Oh Beep!
