Bad publicity for geocaching on youtube by craghopper

Craghoppers have posted this video on YouTube which I feel puts
UK cachers discussions with landowners back years.
I have sent an email to them complaining and informing them of
my intention to boycott, and encourage others to do so, all of
their products until such times as it is withdrawn.
customerservices@craghoppers.com, I would suggest that as many
as possible email with the same basic complaint.

Company have withdrawn it, in order to re-edit.
Threads on the GAGB Facebook page.
[quote]Kate Holroyd on behalf of Jim McNamara, MD at Craghoppers
As a company we sincerely apologise for the misrepresentation of
geocaching that has occurred in our lifestyle video: Craghoppers
- Software Developer by day, Geo Cacher at heart.
It was never our intention to falsely represent any of the
activities depicted in the videos. We recognise that with a
little more research we would never have been filmed geocaching
in this way.
We've removed all videos showing the team digging up the
geocache and for any future projects any depiction of outdoor
hobbies will be scrutinised by the relevant experts prior to
filming and publication.
We appreciate your passionate responses and with the proposed
actions above we will make every effort to ensure that this
won't happen again.
Jim McNamara,
MD at Craghoppers[/quote]

I saw it on another forum and thought it worth passing on.
Craghopper should know nothing gets past a cacher on the hunt,
hehe.
