+Gowenhouse Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Started April 2004. Found 217 and hidden 65. Actually prefer the hiding to finding which is probably pretty unusual in cachers. Quote Link to comment
+The Village People (Sussex) Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) Got a GPS 15th September for my birthday and have attempted 5 caches so far - found 3 including our first international in Paris last Tuesday. Taking it very leisurely so far as the nasty W word tends to get in the way. Having fun Going to hide our first tomorrow hopefully - fingers crossed Edited October 28, 2005 by The Village People (Sussex) Quote Link to comment

+The Golem Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi - we found our first cache on 2nd October this year at the Bowder Stone. We have now found 15 including 2 virtuals and I have placed 1. I first heard about geocaching on another forum (paddling.net) and was instantly taken with the idea! Quote Link to comment
+maxkim Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Bowder Stone, not an easy first choice.... well done. Quote Link to comment

+macroderma Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Started 1 May 05 at Wayland's Smithy I enjoy walking and cycling - caching seemed a good way of doing both (not simultaneously!) Since then I have cached in Belgium, Canada the USA and Cornwall( ) Current tally is 217 caches, although I have placed none, and I have released 3 TBs 4 FTFs too I have roped my youngest son (aged 13) in on occasion - he enjoys the chase and the search Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 It's nice to see several cachers here who started off on our caches, even if Gralorn did find one by accident! We've placed 99 since we started on 1st Sept 01 and found 399. We enjoyed the numbers game to start with and found the first 100 quite quickly (whilst there were few caches around) but slowed down some time ago due to other activities. However, we still enjoy occasional trips out to place the keys to our Signature cache, and despite several setbacks in our plan for our series for our 100th cache, it will come eventually.

+Roving Rangies Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We started in August 2004, after returning from a off roading holiday in Wales and stumbling over a cache on top of a mountain during a comfort stop. We have got 51 caches under out belt and own 1. Slow but sure is my approach! Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 ...on top of a mountain during a comfort stop. Sounds a bit exposed to me... Mrs Blorenge Not on Blorenge, I hope! Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 737 since 19th June 2004. That's around 550 per year, 46 per month or 10 a week. As Alibags says, life, what life? Quote Link to comment
+daytribe Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 We started 27th May this year. We've found 69 dude! And we've hidden 2. Our first was St. Andrews in Sutton. We did it without a GPS. We ordered our GPS online that night and it couldn't come quick enough for us. We were itching to go and find some more. We always go as a family (I've done about 3 of the 69 on my own). We've been to some really interesting places, been stung (by plant and insect), soaked through, had mud up to our armpits and caught out in the dark in a forest without a torch. We've all enjoyed every minute. This has been the best summer I've had since I were a lad. Looking forward to our 100th and many more! Quote Link to comment
+Boardslider Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Started June 2004 found 6! I always was a slow starter. Basically thought I'd try it as a justification to the gf for lashing out on a GPSr. Usually just look up some caches near where-ever we happen to be going anyway. Just left my first TB in Guernsey Quote Link to comment
+Boardslider Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) Just realised that was my first post too Edited November 9, 2005 by Boardslider Quote Link to comment
+Roving Rangies Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) ...on top of a mountain during a comfort stop. Sounds a bit exposed to me... Mrs Blorenge Not on Blorenge, I hope! Yes the place was exposed for a comfort stop! We had to walk quite away to find a rock big enough to hide behind. (Alright for men, they just use the wheel arches! ) No! it was on a mountain in North Wales! We had just driven across a bog, stopped to gain comfort (If you get my drift) when one of the group came back after finding the box in a rocky crag. That made us curious and the rest is history.

+browni Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) Our first find was on December 5th 2004, we are now on 463. Hoping to get 500 in before our first year is up. Edited November 9, 2005 by browni Quote Link to comment
