Re: GeoCaching

Select a forum:

it's the strong feelings that have been aroused by this I'm afraid. The folks here wouldn't say boo to a goose on the whole, but issues like these tend to get the hackles raised.

Perhaps a bit of background wouldn't go amiss. There have been similar discussions on this site going back some time now regarding the leaving of "offerings" at ancient sites. While the folk who do this think they are showing reverence for the site, most of the TMA crew (myself included) think that wedging pennies in crack in stones or burning candles on them (which leaves sooty marks and destroys lichen deposits) is sheer vandalism. Basically, anything which could potentially damage or disfigure a site is frowned upon, and I'm afraid geocaching fits the bill here, despite what you say about not littering. Please don't take it personally, it's just that a lot of us TMA folks are on a bit of a mission to protect these places at all costs.

Peace and Noise,
Squid
