  1. I was working at the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology in NY – (all NASA education stuff – very cool) some of the guys there where taking some undergrad students on an evening caching in the finger lakes area - I had the option of joining them or going to the hotel bar for a beer.

     

    It all sounded very very geeky to me so I retired to the bar and ridiculed the group for going out and “looking for boxes in the woods”

     

    Got home and was looking for things to do with my kids during the summer and looking thru some of my notes from NY too (multi tasking – you like???) I found a cache in the wood opersit my house and I thought I would have a look

    It was great fun and the kids (then 3 and 5) LOVED it.

     

    Got hooked over the next few months then had to face the humberling return to upstate NY for two weeks work when I wanted to cache every day.

     

    Since then my three members of my family have signed up and I’m averaging about a cache a day ever since

  2. I have some - got them while out walking in upstate NY

    in the usa I have used them lots of times to talk to caches and non caches while out on the hunt

     

    in the uk i use them to talk to others in my group if out caching with others but have never talked to anyone I do not know on them

  3. in essex (and kinda east london)

    Wanstead Park Set 9 caches (half day)

    Thorndon Park set 11 caches (full day)

    Hadleighs Hidden Treasures 10 caches (full day)

    River Lee Ride Set 10 caches (half day)

     

    In london

    If your kids are hardy and you start early you can do a few sets in london (all teh parks) and get about 25 in 4 hours

     

    hope this helps
