Jxb1970 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 After watching bbc breakfast i thought we would have a look at what it was all about, we signed up got the iphone app and as a family off we went, 10 caches later and i micro found we are addicted. Started localy then went further a field only trouble we have is finding 1 magnetic cache but im sure we will get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Welcome - I notice that one of the finds was at one of my favourite locations too, the cache "We Come in Piece". You've made a very good start for new cachers, I hope you continue to have fun with your new hobby.

+Skittler Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 10 finds on your first trip is very impressive! Keep it up. Don't be too disappointed if you hit a few 'Did Not Find's - it happens. Stick a 'Watch' on those, then you will get notified when someone else finds them - lets you know they really are still there, and you can have another go. Quote Link to comment

+odies-crew Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) We joined yesterday as well after watching the BBC. We also are addicted!!! In fact so addicted that one we DNF yesterday went back today and found it. We love this as all the family (inc. the 4 legged kind can get involved). Good luck in all you cache hunts.

kelvin1950 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) ........and then there was three! I'd been introduced to geocaching by an old school friend last October, took a look on here and then did nothing about it. My OH saw the TV programme and said "What's geocaching then?" I explained and on Sunday we ventured out locally and found our first two caches. It's going to be quite a spur to making us both get out and go for a walk.

+popokiiti Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It was a radio show my OH was listening to that got us started a few years back. Have to see if I can find that show on the BBC site.... Quote Link to comment
