+tonibunny Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm Tonibunny and I just started caching after hearing about it on another forum.....I wish I'd found out about it ages ago! I love walking around exploring anyway and the thought of hunting for caches really appealed. I bought a basic Garmin GPS60 on Monday, and have been out looking for caches in London where I live. I've found 10 so far and it's Saturday tomorrow so hopefully I'll find more! Anyway, it's great to be part of this, and to "meet" you all Toni x Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Oh well it's too late to warn you the considered consensus is that once you've found 10 your hooked for life Welcome to the addiction, details of Geocaching Anonymous can be found in the container hidden in the local park Quote Link to comment

+The Mighty Shark Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Welcome to the gang Toni... always good to see some new names on the forum Quote Link to comment
+FollowMeChaps Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes, welcome to the mad house Toni - now get out of the smoke and do some REAL rural caches. Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Thanks!! I'm actually going to Shropshire next week and will be caching up there! I've got a travel bug to take with me too (Ed the Bear, currently sitting on my windowsill with a cocktail, living the city lifestyle - I took a photo for his log ) This is great, I've been walking so far it's going to help me get fit Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hi Tonibunny. Fill your profile in - tell us a bit about yourself! Oh, and welcome to the game of champions, by the way :laughing: Quote Link to comment

Would be nice to see you at some of the events. There's a London one every so often. Oss! Quote Link to comment
Bonnie. Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well I think I might 'know' you from that other forum tonibunny I was just looking through the forums and all the information seems to coincide with stuff on a rather more girly site!!!! Hiya! Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hey Bonnie, You're right I used to be called Tonibunny there but changed my name to Goldfinch I'm trying to work out who you are - does your name there begin with M or F? Toni xx Quote Link to comment
Bonnie. Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 You know what I knew that there was a tonibunny over there, but didn't think I had seen it for a while, so that makes sense. I'm m1sty over there. Gosh such a small world isn't it. Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 "handbag"'s on computers, eh? Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Yep, we love them Quote Link to comment
Bonnie. Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 We didn't even mention handbags, did we?!?!?! You men need your man bags for caching though! Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Think I may have mentioned them on another thread Right, I'm off to bag some more London caches! T xx Quote Link to comment
Bonnie. Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Ah, thats how it was spotted then, thought that was really clever! Not such a good day for caching up here today, don't know about where you are. We have had hailstones and torrential rain. Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Tonibunny, just looked at your profile and tried to follow the link to the site you run, but there is an extra comma in the link that prevents it working. Quote Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Ah, thats how it was spotted then, thought that was really clever! Not such a good day for caching up here today, don't know about where you are. We have had hailstones and torrential rain. No! Googled M1sty and Forum came up with handbags.com Simple.

+tonibunny Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Thanks for the message kbootb - I've fixed it now I've just had a great afternoon caching around London again, managed to find 7! Hope the weather holds out for tomorrow Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm about to place my first cache, watch this space! It'll be in East London and is a traditional cache with room for travel bugs and things I'm a bit nervous, I hope it works out well and doesn't get muggled! Quote Link to comment
The Birches Head Hunters Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wow - you're off to a flying start - 18 caches in your first 5 days, that's great. Took us over 3 years to reach number 18 Good luck leaving your first cache! Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks! I doubt I'd have found this many if I didn't live in the middle of London though Quote Link to comment
+MazterGee Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks! I doubt I'd have found this many if I didn't live in the middle of London though Hey Toni Welcome, Caching in london. I go to london almost once a month.. Never thought of caching there. Will definitely be doing it soon. Let us know when you've placed your 1st cache, so we can go find it. speak soon G Quote Link to comment
Bonnie. Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks! I doubt I'd have found this many if I didn't live in the middle of London though Oh I don't know there are millions down here in our neck of the woods too, you can't move for caches. And in no way am I complaining, the moore the merrier. Did you see what I did there Quote Link to comment
+tonibunny Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Oooh I know there are loads of caches all over the UK, it's brilliant. But, you see, I can't drive! I would be a bit stuck if I didn't live in London, cos it would be a lot more difficult to get to caches At the moment though I'm in Shropshire with another newbie cacher who CAN drive! We've just been out for a walk round Oswestry Racecourse and found 3 caches I hope that the Washers team won't be annoyed that I brought their JSAM coin back from London and placed it in a cache up here.....I have just realised that they probably come from here themselves!

+ryme-intrinseca Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I can't drive either, the trick is to get someone else interested in caching and then persuade them to take you. See my tactics here! Quote Link to comment
