Whats the problem Pup? The rules cleary state "Visit a new COUNTY, COUNTY TOWN, COUNTY TOP, TRIG POINT gets 10 bonus points". Each of these trig points is new to this racer, so 10 more points!

Talking of which....

This morning this VW camperfun Racer TB visited two other types of trig point at Daresbury

Fundamental Bench Mark (FBM) Location : SJ 57737 82364, and the active station at the CLRC Daresbury Laboratory, location : SJ 57455 83290.

The photo of the latter is poor as it was dark, but the active station in the aerial just left and up from the illuminated window (to the right of the drainpipe)

Thats another 20 more points in the bag for this racer!

  • CLRC Daresbury Laboratory - Active Station

I second PuP's objection.

This multiple logging seems more than a bit dodgy! Very "pirate like" 😉

I will pass this on to the UKCP. 🙂

Multiple logging by one cacher? This one needs to be looked into 😉

Points on the board!!!!
This NW racer has met a SE racer TB in my caching bag - thats 25 juicy points! The SE racer is "Flash Harry! SE Cachers 2008 Race Bug" code TB21JG6.
Took a photo of them together, so does that double the points to 50? I'll let you decide!

Retrieve It from a Cache 1/22/2008 Sir PhilPamAndRob retrieved it from So Near, Yet So Far North West England, United Kingdom   Visit Log

This VW was raring to go, but couldn't find a way down onto the M58. I'll have to see how many points I can get in the first move. PhilPamandRob
