Just a quick one to dartymoor, we also are paperless with an oregon, did you know that you can download spoiler pics to the oregon for viewing in the field ?
Must confess only just learnt how to do this but its fairly straightforward. On your earlier post you said you have no internet, I guess you mean out in the field not at home. If you would like to contact me through my groundspeak profile I would be happy to let you know how to get spoilerpics onto your oregon.I am glad that there seems to be a reasonably amicable outcome to this minor problem, and the solution as outlined by DD above seems to me to be eminently sensible. Re-reading the posts from Stephen, I dont get the impression that he wanted to count his past finds for the challenge, only that he objected to the post 2012 placing for allowed finds. Not wishing to add to the controversy, but could DD please clarify if a particular find/and or placing can qualify for both the Minor and the Mega challenge ? Are there that many “squares” without any caches in them. Has this been a conspiricy by DD and Hobo to liven up this forum ?
“rickardclan” makes a valid point, if the reviewer had not changed his mind, about the validity of the challenge we could all be attempting it with a clear conscience. It is awkward for us who can see the positives in both sides of the argument, on the one hand Stephen is correct that the challenge cannot be completed now, but Daves idea is to get more of us placing chaches on Dartmoor and that can only be a good thing as long as there is not a rush of caches just for the sake of it. I hope a way can be found to square this circle and allow these challenges to go ahead either in their present form or with a few slight amendments to the rules to satisfy all. The biggest stumbling block as I see it is the date embargo of 2012, if this could be relaxed slightly it would make the challenge more achievable within a reasonable time frame, well we can but wait and see. Good luck to all and happy caching, remember it is only a game
Kevin Richards (alias The Celtic Jedi)We think this is a really good idea, we often go on these short trails and it is good to get all the comments in one place. It helps to decide if it is suitable for your abilities/capabilities. We did most of this particular walk last summer and can endorse Dartymoors comments.
Just thought we would mention the beautiful pictures associated with the site, guessing they are all DD’s work, can the pictures be given titles so that we know where they were taken ?
Our favourite series is Hobo and Miss’ Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway, even though there are some that are not technically on Dartmoor. It faithfully follows the old rail line and involves a lot of local history. A close second is DD’s Walk on the Wild Side for leading me to the inner part of the Moor, where I had never ventured before.
