Deelsch Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hello, I hope I'm in the right place.. We are coming over tomorrow to Britain and would like to find some caches while we are there. We are travelling to Dorset and Dartmoor with 3 kids, age 5, 7, 9. They are not very well known with Geocaching but we would like for them to have a good time. Can anybody recommend us any nice caches in which the kids can participate? Thanks in advance, Debbie Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 We really enjoyed "Digging up the past". It's a nice walk up a gentle grassy hill to the Iron Age hill fort, Badbury Rings, where the children can walk freely. It's an ancient site with a well-written cache page with good information. I won't give away too much but if you do it then let the children have the fun of finding the final cache. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 ... also We haven't done many on Dartmoor but there's a a series of 5 "Knights View" caches along the road across the middle of Dartmoor. No. 3 is in a particularly scenic spot which is ideal for a picnic (and kite flying). MrsB Quote Link to comment

+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Aaah fast response.. : ) I'm printing them right now, thnx If you are still able to access the forums... http://coord.info/GC1TP5J Easy little series with cache containers the kids will love. No difficult walking and not too difficult to find. Additional prize for the kids at the end. Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Whoops, an hour after I posted that the CO archived the series. Shame, it was a good one for newbies or children. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 What a pity I looked at some of the caches earlier after seeing your recommendation. I can only guess it's because of this log on the Bonus of the series... "Devon Seekers Animal Kingdom Series. Bonus. Sorry this cache has been muggled and it's housing destroyed by someone."

MrsB Hi MrsB That's a shame. Didn't spot that. But Frank has been archiving a whole bunch of his caches in the last couple of weeks. They are within our notification range and I have noticed lots of 'archived' emails from them. Hope everything is okay with Frank and Devon Seekers - Don't know them personally but it's always a worry when you see someone archiving all their caches like that as there is usually an unhappy story of some kind behind their actions. And with Birdman taking down around 100 of his caches a month or so ago we are losing some good caches and cahers in the area. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ohh you've not lost me - I still cache (and collecting in now archived caches!) Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ohh you've not lost me - I still cache (and collecting in now archived caches!) We don't want you caching and collecting, we want you hiding But very glad not to have lost you completely and very grateful for all the great (and I mean great, challenging, exciting and memorable) caches you put out there. Hopefully you will put out some new ones one day. Just one question, where was 360? Was it near Pipers Quarry? Or was it over near the final coordinates of "Where to next"? Or would I have been wasting my time in both locations I think we shuld be told! Quote Link to comment

Even found 6 around Combestone Tor but these are not officials... Unfortunately we did not have time to do the first one you mentioned.. Thnx Quote Link to comment
