Geocaching back in time, Jasmer Challenge, Legemonats-Matrix
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. Ey Up Me Duck December Challenge Winner.. 19:20 From Scott Berks.. 19:20 Team Box or Daddy Box http://coord.info/GC3954G Why? Presents come in a box!

Jayme also talks about the changes coming to the Geocaching Intro App, features that will help guide new Geocachers and bring clarity to some of the things experienced Geocachers take for granted. Feedback.. From Dave Debaeremaeker.. Heya Mark & Sam I am 2/3rds of the way thru episode 56, but had to pause when I pulled into the parking lot at work. I'll catch the rest on the commute home, but for now I have some comments. First of all, the Americans do have an annoying way of formatting their dates. Month-Day-Year. In Canada (and I believe in the UK aswell) they do Day-Month-Year. I can never keep the dates format straight between the two, so I typically go in the proper sort order:Year-month-day, or just spell it out : January 12, 2015. Second, re: the comment from the fellow who did 800 miles and 4 events in a single day. I don't think you fully appreciate the joy that is a good long road trip. Britain is simply not large enough to get the experience of many many hours spent on the open highway, with the tunes cranked, the engine rev'd, and watching the world pass by your car windows. Driving can be dang annoying when there is a lot of traffic but there are many places in the US where you can drive for hours on our interstate highways and barely see another car. Those are the roads that many a car-based rock anthem has been written about. As for the date of 12-13-14 (Yankee formatting), I also had an adventure that day. I have a group of geocaching friends - we call ourselves Team Awesomesauce - that goes on big adventures together. On the date in question two of our group (FailedApparatus and HoosierSunshine - pronounced: Who's-yer-sunshine) were hosting a geocaching trivia event that evening in Columbia South Carolina.Columbia is about 3 hours from my house, so I left early on that morning, met up with the group in Charlotte North Carolina, and together we cached ourselves to Columbia. Along the way we did some amazing caches. I blogged about the adventure here:http://debaere.blogspot.com/2014/12/team-awesomesauce-rides-again.html I also have a shot of a clock taken at 12-13-14 15:16;17 (3:16 PM) to mark the occaision:http://debaere.blogspot.com/2014/12/12-13-14-151617.html Speaking of interesting dates, Pi day is coming up. March 14th.i.e. in Yankee formatting 3-14. This year is special as 3-14-159:26:53 is pi correct to the first 8 decimal places. There are many folks in the US that are planning events around Pi day (yay for math geeks!) Finally the translation of Doctor D's Australian accent was comedic gold. Well done. Cheers From Ey Up Me Duck Before the New Year me and The Old Soldier sat and discussed (I said what I'd like to do and he listened & agreed!!!) our geocaching aims for the year and came up with the following list. 1- to listen to the Oh Beep show the week after it is aired. I am currently very bad and tend to listen to them in batches, although I have nearly caught up & only have about 10 older episodes to listen to now (the May & June ones) 2 - to find (and log Dr D!!!) 3000 caches this year. This is to go towards a challenge set by Nadiagoescaching during the year. 3 - To try and clear a 10km radius from house 4 - To clear at least another 60 days from our date found calendar (currently at 242/366 days). 5 - To complete and find at least 10 Challenge caches - I think we managed to grab 3 or 4 of these at the weekend!!! 6- To complete DT grid (12 to go) 7 - To cache in at least 10 more English counties (currently 31/46 counties) 8 - Find some Little Quest Caches (currently 1/48) – to get us into double figures at least 9 - To find 20 more caches to help go towards completing the Jasmer Challenge (caches placed – months since geocaching began) - (140/176) 10 - Find any caches in area with favourite points of over 25 From Misha.. I am GC member Misha, Looky what I found while I was listening to your latest Podcast near Truro, NS, Canada. It began as a nice sunny minus 24°C and the sun warmed us to -12°C a great 40 cache hike, I was at #34 Hidez 57. Union Jack GC5EA21 Thanks for podcasting Nemesis Geocaches.. Defined (to end Doctor D's refusal to accept those proposed). A cache must be searched for and not found on at least 3 separate occasions to be classed as a Nemesis Geocache by Doctor D. Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do.. From StaticJay.. Just had two disabled caches of mine found which is weird because the containers are sitting in my workshop. People play their own way, but Geocaching isn't hard. Smartphones make it easier than ever. GO OUTSIDE, YOU MIGHT ENJOY IT! Ask Doctor D.. Doctor D, I enjoy listening to your podcast very much but feel that your offensiving is lacking when it comes to those with disabilities and I wanted to give you a chance to put this situation right. I am blind but still manage to Geocache with my family but reckon the mighty Doctor D must have some advice that might help me be a better cacher, after all you do know everything… and you are a doctor, so please, What advice do you have for blind geocachers? Cheers Paul aka washknight http://washknight.wordpress.com GGH Tips.. The secrets of NiMH (batteries) - GGH 116: Batteries III The Ey Up Me Duck Challenges.. I have also decided to set the Oh Beep team a Monthly Challenge and see how many (of the 12) you achieve by the end of the year!!! I have taken into consideration that you don't like caching much when it is too cold (or too hot) so you have more time to spend at home, sat in front of your laptop or with a pen and paper. Also because January has already started I will give you until the end of February to complete this challenge (but you'll still get one in the first week of Feb too!!!). So my first challenge to you is to work out (solve) and find 2 puzzle caches. I am giving you about 6 weeks to complete this which I don't think is too difficult. Me and Ady went out on Sunday and managed to find 20 puzzles, so 2 in 6 weeks is very doable (is that a word!). Annoyingly when we got in late that evening, a challenge cache had just been published by TeamTriplet asking for 25 puzzle caches to be found in a day!!! - we were gutted BUT far too cold to go out again! If you want to know of some of the easier ones out there let me know and I will tell you which ones to look at! That's all from me for now. I'll be listening every week now to see how you are getting on with my challenge

Discussion Cache Geek resolutions page: http://www.cachegeek.com/resolutions.html TravelFleas.com: For 2014 TravelFleas.com has goals of: 1. Going to more geocaching events. 2. Offering more fun TravelFleas products to our customers 3. Having TravelFleas tags visit even more exotic geocaches 4. Seeing more kids and families involved in geocaching Sarah Clark: (From CacheFace.com) "my goals for 2014 is to reach 1000 caches found and to clear out my town of at least the traditionalise". Anne: (From CacheFace) "Understand how to solve puzzles ... A whole year won't be enough" Mark Holden (StickBouncer): (From CacheFace) "Was hoping to find 500 caches by end of year and place 200 but now aiming to do this by 1st March which will be my 2nd caching anniversary" Jim (Mr.Yuck on Geocaching.com). "I'm from Buffalo, N.Y. USA. 2013 will go down as my worst full year of Geocaching, and I haven't found over 200 caches since 2010. So I am definitely resolving to find a minimum of 200 caches in 2014. Attached is a screen shot of my finds by year. Additionally, I need a January 2001 placed cache to complete the Jasmer Challenge from 2001 to the present. I would like to get that done as well, but the closest January 2001 placed cache is 350 miles away. I do have finds for 3 of the available 8 months in the year 2000, but I don't think I'll ever complete the entire Jasmer Challenge grid". Mr Yuck Stats
