first78 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm still pretty new to caching and have just moved to Stoke-on-Trent. It would be nice to get to know some people in the area as I don't really know anyone here. Does anyone live in my neck of the woods? Quote Link to comment
+Smurf Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 http://coord.info/GC2G817 Pop along and meet people, only about 10 miles from Stoke, Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Not only, but also... there's a West Midlands Geocaching Forum which may be of interest to you. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+ivanidea Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I'm in Stoke, and can certainly recommend the West Midlands Forum as linked above. You don't have to be mad to join us, but it helps And the event mentioned above will welcome visitors from 4pm to 8pm if you don't want to camp. Which part of Stoke do you live in?

I moved to Burslem last month. Have found loads of great places to go walking so just need to buy a gps off ebay and I'm going to start finding some caches Quote Link to comment

pepikokojo Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I live in Newcastle under Lyme - not too far away from Stoke. There are quite a few regulars who go caching in the area. I've bumped into a few while out and about myself. If you try for a FTF there's a reasonable chance you will find someone else looking for the same cache. Over the last few months I've met several fellow cachers just by chance. There are also lots of good caches in the area. The "Silver Ape" ones are multiplying like rabbits at the moment! The Apedale Country Park is a good area to go caching. BTW I did try registering on the West Midlands Caching forum earlier. It asked me an anti bot question, "What is the terminology for a NON-Geocacher called". I tried "muggle" but it didn't accept that and claimed that "No Anti-Bot Question Answer Entered". It then asked me to retry but the field to answer the question had now disappeared! At this point I gave up. Quote Link to comment
+also_cute_and_fluffy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm in Burslem. We don't tend to see many cachers actually - I think they take one look at us and run off hehe. We do a lot of caching in the Peak District and towards Leek, Buxton etc. The Gradbach caches are pretty fab Quote Link to comment

I'm really looking forward to exploring caches in the Peak District but also can't wait to do some of the local ones Quote Link to comment
+StaffsGeo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for the interest- Please accept my apologises there seem to a problem with the registration form; which I wasn't aware of until now. If you wish to still register send me an email and as soon as I have corrected the problem I will forward you a link. Again please accept my apologises Quote Link to comment

+Hampk Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 There's plenty of cachers round Stoke-on-Trent - MickandMandy, CannonEdwards, Browni, Vimes, Tizzie, Dordotkey et al, (oh - and me) the list goes on..! Welcome - and hope to bump into you some time Quote Link to comment
+ivanidea Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I hope to make it as a day visitor to the Spring Madness event, in my Jeep TB. See you there at 4pm Quote Link to comment
+Stokiecachers Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm another one of the Stoke on Trent caching clan - seems plenty of us and people looking after each others caches which I think is the polite thing to do if you find one trashed or damaged but rescueable (i.e. container broken, contents on the floor, etc). Maybe catch you out and about sometime.... Take care. Leigh.... Quote Link to comment
*4kingkids* Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yes we are just outside stoke. Quote Link to comment
