I've been Geocaching for around four months now and have found over 230 caches and I thought I'd share some thoughts and ask some questions, hope you don't mind
Geocaching has got me out and about far more often than I used to - I've always enjoyed walking but now there's a goal, a reason to be in a particular place and even a way of keeping "score". Whereas I used to gaze at a map and design a random walk of a particular length and then walk it, I now download all the LOC files from an area and join them up via paths - makes deciding where to go far easier Searching for caches has taken me to places I never knew existed, some beautiful, others strewn with litter and fly-tipped but all interesting and new. Some caches have been incredibly clever, many are 35mm containers under a stone and some are just plain funny - micros in plastic hedgehogs, full-blown wooden treasure chests. Some you can spot from afar, others take a long search but all give that satisfying "Yes!" moment as you find them and sign the log.
As you can tell - I'm hooked!
So, the questions if I may:
What's your technique for caching in a busy, "muggly", location like a high street or outside a tube station?
What time to people like to cache? I prefer early morning, when it's quiet and gently warming up.
What's the "best" or favourite cache in the South East?
I have more but that'll do for now
So - thanks to everyone for placing caches, TFTC really doesn't do them justice!
