walkworld

A big congratulations to Achilles1964 on reaching their 200th cache (a FTF no less! ) and for placing some brilliant caches. Maybe more importantly, the walkworld team want to say an extra special thank you for introducing us to this hobby and can't wait to bag some caches together again in the summer.

We've just upgraded to premium membership and are waiting for it to come through. We decided to upgrade because we feel it's worth it in order to fund the upkeep of the site and are keen cachers. However, our only concern is that this weekend a lot of our local caches have been made available to members only in order to encourage fellow cachers to upgrade, but surely this will make geocaching an 'exclusive' sport and discourage newbies from joining up? They've just heard about this wonderful new sport and decide to check out the website....but they can't even view half of the cache listings to see what it's all about. They're hardly likely to join as a premium member straight up especially if they also have to fork out for a GPS (which is hardly cheap). Rant over

Almost 2 months behind on this one! But had to have one in honour of my own two Geocats.
