New to Geocaching

[HRKHUNTERS]

Hi all,

 

Just thought i'd post that we recently found the site and read about it and decided to do our first hunt which was close by to us, its so exciting hunting down the cache and with people about not knowing what your doing. Started with an easy one and found first time which we were glad of.

 

Already planning the next one, looking at gps devices to buy and off to the shops tomorrow to get some things for swaps, i think were addicted already haha.

 

Could someone help me, i'm struggling to find a "key" or a list of the geocaching talk, eg what all the shorthand talk means.

 

Thankyou in advance

 

Harry, Rob and Kate.

Just got started in this myself. Found 11 so far and I got my very first cache hide published yesterday. Exciting stuff, is it not?

I just started in this wonderful adventure. My children and I found three out of three caches we set off to find. Not only is this hobby exciting, but it's great to be outside and use your brain while having fun with your family. Today was our first adventure and it's very addicting. We would have been out all day but the rain forced us to stop. My daughter found one cache and the excitement she experienced and showed was priceless. Thanks to this awesome website for getting me interested in and pursuing this hobby.
