  1. Haha, good point hawkeye! I've done that a couple of times! Most embarassing moment was a two mile walk along the Medway, getting 300ft away from the cache ... only to find the tide was high and the path was covered! You live and learn! There's a lot of us on here today - good point about the rain. I was hoping for another nine caches in Medway today that would've given me my 100. Alas! Methinks the Kent cachers are due a meet up soon! Is there a group in Kent already do you know?
  2. Hello and welcome to geocaching! Prefer yourself for long, cold, frustrating days! I use the Garmin GPS60 which I can vouch for being a cracking bit of kit. But at £90 or so, I realise it may be out of your price range, so worth checking out the Garmin Extrex as others have mentioned. Just had a look for you and it's £40 on Tesco: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-8029.aspx When I started out I only had an OS Explorer map which allowed me to get a rough idea of where the caches were. It's possible to do but it was a bit hit and miss! Worth having a look at the Ordnance Survey's free Get-A-Map website which allows you to downloads maps at every different scale. That'll save you £7.99 a pop or a trip to your local library. Here's the link for Get-A-Map: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/getamap/ If you're caching in Kent, give me a shout and I'll do my best to help!
  3. How could I resist?! One coin ordered this evening! Great coin - nice work!
