Heyup! My name's Peter and I'm I was a lurker I'm also a noob. I'm currently based in Guildford, Surrey, UK. I discovered 'Caching on New Year's Day and am now hooked. As I normally spend most of my time joined at the hip to one sort of computer or another I thought this would be an ideal way to get out into the countryside and indulge my techie-ness at the same time. With a bit of luck I'll be hiding a cache next month so if you're in the Guildford, Surrey area please look out for it..
I'm finding the forums very friendly, and thankfully mostly free of the "RTFM" attitude on many sites - that does a lot to encourage people to keep coming back and it gives a great community feel as well.
Nice to meet you all, and I'll be posting on a regular basis soon..
