UK Geocaching Podcast Show 4, November 2010

Once again we have managed to miss a month (October) and only now have the new show. Unfortunately due to illness and broken equipment, the broken equipment is not sorted and I have had to use a (very) inferior quality microphone to record.

Consequently, sound quality is reduced and you may well have to make use of the volume control on your player. Sorry!!

Question Of The Month

What stops you from Geocaching?

A simple question that will get a number of strange and wonderful answers!

Competition

Record some audio while on a Geocaching adventure and send it to me. Prize is an unactivated Travel Bug.

Record it to any format (WAV, MP3, OGG, or AIFF prefered – MP3 produces the smallest file) and email it to ukgcpodcast@gmail.com with the title “November Competition” or similar.

If you have a way to upload the file to a host from which you can then send me a link, that’s great too!

Closing date (provisionally) 30 November. I may well extend to end of December.

Question Of The Month:

How often do you perform maintenance on your hides?

I would like to do a special podcast specifically for those new to caching. To that end, I would like to hear your hints tips, instructions and advice so I can collate to make a decent show.
Don’t panic, this will be in between regular shows, probably sometime after show 4 (October)
