+Team Balders Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 We usually search close to a cache site.. That's where I'VE been going wrong!!! Quote Link to comment
mtfc94 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ummmmmmm........under a log! you dont understand i want to know the area Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ummmmmmm........under a log! you dont understand i want to know the area The area is wherever the arrow on your GPS receiver is pointing As you get nearer and nearer to the cache location the numbers on it will gradually decrease until you know that it's somewhere close by. If you do a "walk past" the arrow will swing to indicate where the cache is located. Accuracy will vary according to how good are the "given" co-ordinates on the cache page and other factors on the day. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ummmmmmm........under a log! you dont understand i want to know the area Most cachers begin in their local area. It is very easy to find where the local caches are. On the main account page, on the top right hand side there is a link that enables you to search for the caches nearest to your home. You can even filter out those you have found, which is very handy when you have found a few. You must have put in your home co-ords in order to get an account, so why not give it a go? Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment

Anyone is obviously welcome to post on any of the Groundspeak forums, but surely you should try you own regional forum first, for you it would be the US North East forum. Quote Link to comment

+Birders Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 mtfc... With all the respect in the world, judging from some of your postings you appear to be somewhat "out of your depth". Go to the www.geocaching.com home page and click "getting started" and then read the various articles. There are thousands upon thousands of caches all over the world and the UK is teeming with them in every town, village and open space. Where you start to look depends on where you want to go. Learn how to download information and see where caches are. As a start you could use Google Earth to see where every cache in the world is located. Good luck.. Quote Link to comment
+third-degree-witch Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Usually at the cache co-ordinates. Quote Link to comment
+The Golem Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hello mtfc94, I mainly search in Cumbria which is the county where I live. After looking at your profile I see that you haven't found any caches yet. As I don't know where you live I've taken the postcode of your favourite football team and used their postcode as a centre point - you'll be delighted to know there's a cache within a tenth of a mile of the ground: Caches local to Mansfield Town FC It looks like an ideal cache to start with, a good size, fairly easy to find and with an interesting theme - I suggest you start your search here - good luck and welcome to the forums...
