Lactodorum Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 In case you don't get the Sunday Times, they have an article on Geocaching in the Travel section. Not the best write up I've ever seen but not the worst either IMHO. Quote Link to comment
+harrogate hunters Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 "Inside are all sorts of kids’ toys. We swap a mini water pistol (for Joe)" I did not think that you were allowed to leave children in exchange for items in the box.... Well that solves one particular problem I have, my next log might be.... "took nothing.. left Miss HH !" Quote Link to comment

+The Wombles Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 No bad, the article did convey some excitement. Will there be many new cachers finding their first today / tomorrow? Quote Link to comment

+FollowMeChaps Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well I think it's a good article and well written - it would have wetted my curiosity had I geen a geomuggle. Then again who am I to comment? I search for plastic lunch boxes for a hobby! Quote Link to comment

+allieballie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 A log came through for one of my caches about an hour ago - it said it was their first geocache thanks to the Sunday Times! Quote Link to comment

So here we go again - no bad thing. In a year or two the perennial topic of "How did you start?" will refer back to that article! Quote Link to comment

I suppose its better than the old "Watford Standard" that was 30ft out all the time. And thats also how far out their shooting is at the moment. Seriously though, easter meet up with in-laws over Bedford yesterday so took BIL and his two children out to get three local ones, one part of the Bedford's Easter Egg Hunt. well it was only 400 metres away. and two down by the river. He revealed that they were thinking of getting a gps (they had been out with me on two other occassions) as friends of theirs liked a walk but just could not get their kids walking, and therefore deduced that getting the caching will help all. Well our walk was successful, with one very good hide which baffled them when I pulled it out of the hat so to speak, and another well hidden which the eldest found under supervision. Anyway to cut a long story short, get back to the house, open Sunday Times Travel section, and lo and behold, the said article. My wife moaned! Quote Link to comment
