I was wondering about doing that but decided it would be easier
to do this away from home and couldn't resist a few FTF's. The
remaining ones I might have a go at in one hit, giving me 94 to
find.

It seems it took 14 hours for someone to do the whole thing :-\

That looks quite a leisurely pace to me. Unless any of the hides
are tricky, which I don't think any of them are intended to be,
then I would think I could shave a good hour off that time,
maybe more.
I wait to see if Dr Solly comes this way and does the series on
his electric bike, he'll be down to about 3 hours then I guess
;D

Haha :D
Ok, I am finally (maybe) going to try and start to use PQ's
today ;D
Either tomorrow or Monday I hope to do a stretch of the series,
but would like to have all caches on anyway - I normally, as
some of you know, view the map and put them on one by one, which
is probably a waste of time. So my question is, if I view the
GCW book mark list and select "Create Pocket Query" -> (certain
elements of PQ form load up) "Run once and then delete" -> then
in GPX format and compress into .zip -> "Submit information"...
Will that download ALL the caches in the bookmark list (the
whole series) into a single GPX file? ???
If so, I now love Pocket Queries ;D

Don't forget to tick the day you want it to run (Take note of
server time). And yes that is all there is to it. (Shout if you
need more help)
When you get braver if you go on the map page and drag in the
menu from the left hand side there is an option at the bottom
which says 'save as pocket query' it will run the same thing
(but a bit more in depth) on all the caches you can see on the
map (up to 1000)
The only down side that I can think of is that you only get 5
previous logs on the caches rather than the usual 10.
Best of luck

Then write a interesting and different log for each one. ::)

Griff.
Be careful of the "Run once and delete" option.
Depending on how you use the PQ some apps cant read the PQ if
"run once and delete" is selected...
(Think it's mainly a phone app issue)

I nearly always do. Well, maybe not the interesting bit but I
always try to put a different one.
