Being very new to all this I was wondering how I should have handled this situation.
We were out looking for a cache up in the Wicklow Hills when getting within about 800 meters we overtook another three people heading in the same direction. There then followed an odd sort of dance as it seemed to me both parties were trying not to obviously look for something, but this have merely been my overheated imagination. We even had a brief conversation and we passed on leaving then in the vicinity of the cache. We came back half an hour later they were gone and we found the cache, they had either failed to find it or were in fact just people acting oddly on a hill and not Geocachers at all.
Now how does one recognise a fellow Geocacher, should I have dropped a hint or asked outright or in fact do as I did and kept quiet for fear of appearing strange (after all do normal people roam the hills looking for boxes).
Any advice from seasoned professionals gratefully received.
