Today I ticked off one more D/T square for my long term attempt
at The Somerset Well Rounded Cacher (GC22QHC), still 20 more to
go, if only I had registered earlier...

I did send the CO a question about changing D/T's of caches
found but never got a response :( I know the CO has said that
this was OK but wanted to check how do I prove the D/T at the
time of finding.

Not sure how you could prove the D/T at the time of finding? I
have written my own macro to do the work for me, this runs
against my database of found caches which preserves the D/T at
the time of finding, I could run the macro against a fresh
database loaded from the 'My Finds' PQ too, just to be on the
safe side.
This is the output my macro generates: Somerset Well Rounded
Progress

That looks very good. Mine is a similar grid but done manually
but doesn't have the P & F detail on it. Could I try your
script?
I save the GPX of the cache in a separate GSAK database, so
preserves the D/T at time of finding :)
Using the site My Geocaching Profile
HTML http://www.mygeocachingprofile.com/default.aspx,
this has an
area for Challenges and it shows my progress of the Somerset
Challenge but uses the My Finds PQ, so does not preserve D/T's
at time of finding. It currently shows that I have one missing,
2.5/5.0 even though I found a cache with this D/T but has been
changed since. I do intend to find another cache with 2.5/5.0
for completeness :)

[member=3]walktall[/member], sure I can let you have a copy of
the macro, I haven't uploaded it to the GSAK master list as I
seem to remember there was some code in it specific to me, but I
need to check, if you can send me an email through my geocaching
profile then I can reply and attach the file, if there is
anything that needs editing within the macro I can let you know
what it is in the email too.

Don't you just hate that:
- You walk round for an hour collecting the info for a multi
cache
- Work out the co-ordinates
- Go there and find they take you to some ones private back
garden
- No time to walk round to find which one you got wrong
Grrrrrrrr :(

It was Churchdown Family Multi
HTML http://coord.info/GC3WCCA
and now having checked it, I see why I
got one digit (I think) wrong.
The additional waypoints have slightly different wording of the
questions to that in the main description and I was using the
additional waypoints to navigate and use to see the questions.
The one that got me was Q3:
The main description says: "How many windows in the row ABOVE
the shop fronts? = B"
Additional waypoint says: "How many windows in a row above the
shop fronts? = B"
Because the waypoint question said "in a row", I took that to be
some windows that were right next to each other in a row, rather
than, how many windows above all the shops.
I will be emailing the CO to correct the questions in the
waypoints, so they are the same as the main description. Q5 has
this issue as well.
Update: email sent to CO :)
