Welcome to my Follow the Arrow resource site. These days technology is taking over our lives. Geocaching is no exception. With the ability to use smart phones as well as handheld GPS to go geocaching I felt that a resource that would provide help and information about using the technology and geocaching in general would be useful.

You are very welcome to contact me with suggestions, comments or for help chris @ follow-the-arrow.co.uk Chris of The Blorenges Whether you are an 'old hand' or relative 'newbie' to geocaching here you'll find a wealth of information including everything you need to know about how your GPS works; what the features do and how to do Pocket Queries to load into it so you don't need to print out cache pages anymore.

Are you about to create your first cache page and want to make it more interesting with images and different fonts? Bit put off because all this sounds really technical and complicated?

Posted: February 22nd, 2008 | Tags: Dartmaps, Hacking, Highlights | 13 Comments » Dartmaps is a Google Maps real-time DART mashup and has appeared in print in The National Geographic, on the radio on NPR and even on television.

From February 24th 2008, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City are running an exhibition titled “Design and the Elastic Mind“, which features Dartmaps as one of its exhibits. From the blurb: The exhibition will highlight examples of successful translation of disruptive innovation, examples based on ongoing research, as well as reflections on the future responsibilities of design. I’m not sure how Dartmaps fits into all that, but someone somewhere must have decided it does. I couldn’t make the opening party and I probably won’t make it there to see it at all. UK Attraction Search. Pier Webcams | the-pier.co.uk. Webcams provide a fantastic window for people around the world to see what is happening at the camera location at a given point.

I have tried to source cameras that cover the piers around the UK and am constantly on the lookout for further ones. Thanks to all the webcam operators for allowing their images to be linked here and providing an “at a glance” look around the UK at the weather and conditions from each of them. Hopefully visitors can look at the cameras and know before they set off for the coast that the outlook is clear and they can happily enjoy and ice cream or fish and chips whilst admiring the piers in all their glory!

UPDATE : 17th September 2013 – WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING ALL WEBCAMS. IF YOU KNOW OF A NEW ONE THEN PLEASE CONTACT US WITH DETAILS.
