I like a good argument :-)

Quoted message said:

You know Roger I don't and I really don't have time to argue with you.
It's also obvious that you've your mind fully made up about geocaching
and also that you're prepared to pick pieces of what I've said and
ignore the remainder in order to prove your point.

You must take full credit for persuading me that geo caching is a
pointless pursuit. You really are the architect of your own misfortune.

Quoted message said:

I will make a few points though:

Quoted message said:

Geocaching isn't all about hillwalking so terrain isn't necessarily
crucially important.

For some but not all caches. Do you avoid those that require map reading
skills to get to easily?

Quoted message said:

Urban envirmonments can be a lot more interesting than you give them
credit for.

I haven't said anything about whether they are interesting or not. I
just don't like being in an urban environment.

Quoted message said:

The one example you quoted probably wasn't a geocache from your brief
descripton of it. Even if it was I never said that all geocaches are
good just like not every hill/mountain is good.

Maybe not. Perhaps it was just a letterbox.

Quoted message said:

Almost half of my geocache finds were done without a mapping GPSr. The
only reason I used a map was to get a vague idea where the cache was to
determine how I drove to the start.

So you need a map when on the road but not when off, how odd.

Quoted message said:

The reason we're talking about maps at all is that you suggested that
paper maps are essential for geocaching and therefore Lat & Long was a
stupid standard to use as they aren't particularly useful on OS maps in
the UK.

And indeed they are not.

Quoted message said:

Different people like different things and just because you don't like
or value a hobby doesn't mean it's worthless. For example I have
absolutely no interest in photography but many on this group are
passionate about it. My lack of interest doesn't demean their passion.

Quoted message said:

Anyway a geocache discussion here is now verging on OT so I don't see
any point on prolonging our discussion.

FWIW it always has been OT, just like photography and most of the other
topics we raise when we haven't any walking to talk about. :-)

You hear what you want to hear Roger which is why I'm not arguing with
you. I'll just enjoy myself as much as I can in the ways that I derive
pleasure from. You can do the same and never the twain shall meet.

You haven't been shouting loud enough so I haven't heard even a whisper
here in Yorkshire. I see what you write and am not impressed by it. You
might not like a good argument but you can't resist trying to have the
the last word. :-)
