    Bump any thread you like, sTeamTraen...!

    No, I realize that GS doesn't formally recognize GAGB not because of any issues with us, but because that's GS's approach to caching organizations generally. I don't know either why that's their approach, but GAGB and the GS UK cache reviewers have always had a good working relationship, so I don't really see it as a problem. There may be no official recognition, but down at ground level things work smoothly between us.

    So what's gagb's relationship with terracaching and navicache? Are things anybetter or anyworse there?
    I suppose whatever portal we use, we're cachers through and through and think being represented by some form of UK body can only be a good thing.

    Cheers

No idea.
    Hmm I wonder how many average Americans know what a 'Pikey' is?

    Oh! I do! I do!

    Wait a minute, I'm an American living in Britain, so does that eliminate me the average American category?

One was placed by Magus Barelegs in 937 AD, whist on a booze cruise to Scotland with his mates. The other's currently touring The Democratic Republic of Congo in the digestive tract of a hippo, and is unlikey to be logged any time soon.

    Think I'll give terracache a try!

    I would assume that, as GAGB is not affiliated to Groundspeak, there's no reason to have a problem with Navicache, Terracaching or any of the others.

    I think you misunderstood where I was coming from, I want to know what form of relationship (if any) is there between terracaching/navicaching and gagb, or have gagb soley been interested in making links with gc.com?
    Do gagb perceive one org to have better comms than the other. It's important stuff.

    No, we're certainly not interested only in working with GC, but though we've made approaches to TC and NC on occasion, to the best of my knowledge we've never had replies from them.

    Tbh, there isn't a sizable number of uk terra/navicachers, their systems of 'approval' don't lend to an easy way for the GAGB policies to be enforced either - terracaching uses a sponsorship method, and I'm not sure what navicaches use.
    If there was a competition for witty signatures, I'd come last.

    I don't think Navicache uses anything as a policy. You just post your cache and that's it. Actually quite nice, but I don't think it would work once you have lots of caches appearing on the site.
