+GooseberryBev Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi all! We're relative new-comers to geocaching based in Leamington Spa and were wondering if there are any clubs / groups based in Warwickshire? Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Welcome to the UK Forum Geocaching doesn't exactly have "local clubs" but groups of cachers occasionally get together for small, or larger, "Event caches" - Keep an eye on this link to Event Caches Listed so far to see if any are planned near to you. I'm sure some other cachers in your area will drop in here soon and say "hi". MrsB Quote Link to comment
+schnarff Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, And welcome to the world of caching. There are quite a lot of us in the Warwickshire/Worcestershire area and all are very friendly (well, the ones I have met are ) As Mrs B has already said when the others stop caching they are likely to drop by in here and say hi at some stage but if you fancy going to an event try the Cachewalker one this Sunday 30th March. Whilst based in the Cotswolds a few of the Warwickshire people will also attend this and you would be made to feel very welcome (and the walk isnt compulsory!). Also if you need any help with caching etc just shout and one of the locals will help Otherwise hopefully we will bump into you at some stage Take Care Schnarff xx Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ... all are very friendly (well, the ones I have met are ) Cor!! That must include us! Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Hi! CacheWalker Spring Bash '08 (Group Walk 3) To meet some of the locals. So which of you is Gooseberry, and which is Bev? Edited March 25, 2008 by KandG Quote Link to comment
+moggoly Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi GooseberryBev, Welcome to the hobby addiction.... I'm in Coventry and most of my caching is Warwickshire based. Happy to help with any questions you might have on any local caches or geocaching in general - can double up for team caching if you don't mind getting up at 5am on Sat/Sun mornings!! Moggoly.

+OldNickCov Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi all! We're relative new-comers to geocaching based in Leamington Spa and were wondering if there are any clubs / groups based in Warwickshire? Hello, and welcome, from another cacher based in Warwickshire (although technically, living in Coventry). As other people have said, there's not much in the way of group caching, but some of us do occasionally meet up in fields in the middle of the evening, especially when there's a nice juicy FTF to find. There are plenty of good caches scattered around the Leamington / Warwick area. If you're new to the area they're a good way to get to know some of the attractive places - if not you probably know some of the locations already, but won't know there are caches there. There are occasional pub get-togethers in the area. Keep an eye on the website and you should spot them. Quote Link to comment
+GooseberryBev Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 A big hello back to everyone who has replied - we were slightly worried about the reception 'newbies' would get. We obviously had nothing to worry about We found our first cache only four days ago and already we've been planning where we can find the next. I think you're right moogoly, I can see this turning into somewhat of an addiction. Not too sure about the 5am start mind... but that aside, it's ok though yeah? I mean, we can stop anytime we want? *ahem* We've joined cachewalker and everyone looks jolly friendly - how long has everyone been at it? We can't make this Sunday unfortunately but will definitely look out for the next meet up. Have a pint or two for us Neither of us can drive at the mo so we're planning on walking / bussing it to every one we can get to from Leamington. Can anyone recommend some good 'uns? Thanks again for the warm welcome we've received, it has been much appreciated! Peter (Gooseberry) and Chris (Bev) Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If you want to get away from Leamington, try Warwick around the Castle and a bit further away Stratford around the town -most walkable, but not neccesarily all in the one day! We've done most, but a few are still on th "To do" list G Quote Link to comment
+ZoomLens Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 There are also a good number of caches in central Birmingham - easily walkable from Snow HIll or Moor Street. Welcome to Geocaching! Quote Link to comment
