Sorry avatar moment but how do you pronounce geocaching?

is it like this? 'geo cashing'

Yes or tupperware hunting with billion dollar satelites

Any Geo-Cachers out there?

We were introduced to this pastime on Friday and what a very strange experience it was.
Strange and horrible in places due to having two toddlers in our group and not realising the distance, but despite that we have been bitten by the bug.

Just wondered if anyone else out there has given it a go.

Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site

It sounds like the old Dartmoor pastime of Letterboxing -
but with cars instead of hiking boots

[Iamhanuman]

hi Two Sheds!
yes thats the website we have been using!
i think youre right
it is just an update and has apparently really taken off as it would seem more accessible now

anyone tried this, or the old variety??

[zazen999]

I've merged as it's a 'yes'

[beefy]

And I'm going out soon to look for my 200'th cache.
Check my profile for pics of some of the coins that are out there to be found and moved on.

Geo caching

Have been discovering the 'Dark side' of this hobby recently.

I have had two travel coins pinched, and there is an individual who is pretending to find the caches and posts their log on-line in my area.

Most worryinglyalso in my area, caches are being smashed up by persons unknown who then post in the logs online they are protecting the environment by removing this litter and vandalism of the countryside.


I have so far found 199 caches and recently had a nice day wandering around Rutland looking for them, places i have never been to before.

It's rained everyday since then.

[Iamhanuman]

ah now i see it has been found by some grapes already!

well done

how about an update then
how do you all like it??

we've just done one which was exhausting as it was four plus a bonus find all in one!
in at the deep end!

I'm a recent convert - a great way to spend time with Bean out and about. No matter where we are, we can go "treasure hunting"

[beefy]

Good man Wayne - talk about bringing something back from the past - this thread started in August 2008 !!!
Anyone else taken this up as a hobby ?

One over the road from me. When my kids are a bit older, I'll take them out and go geocaching

[veggiechicken]

I've never really understood the GPS thingy that was my husband's. I did try to use it for geo-caching once...........

[Headfry]
