Ben Pid Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Ok I know this question has probably been asked on these forums before but just wondering what the first cache in the UK was? and who planted it? Also what was the first cache of you all? which was the one that got you into the sport? For us it was View from Coombe Hill, just wondering what everyione elses was? (Sory if I have brought up old topics again, Just find this interesting) All the best, Pid Watch out its a Golfcourse... (Team Dan and Pid) Quote Link to comment
Rob & Lisa Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 The oldest currently is Scotland's First (GCF0) at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=240 hidden in Dec, 2000. There may have been others earlier that were archived but probably not many as there were only 239 earlier caches hidden worldwide. As for our first, it was also View From Coombe Hill (which holds the second oldest spot). A bit more of a drive between caches in those days Ok, 10 metres. It's somewhere around here...

dodgydaved Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 My first was one of Robin & June Lovelock's, Sunninghill, which is my home village. Nice little 3 parter . dodgydaved :boozer: dodgydaved Quote Link to comment
+Icenians Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 First for us was Marston Marsh in Norwich. Second had been nicked! Quote Link to comment
evilrooster Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 My first searched-for was Path to Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, which had vanished. Since it had been hidden in a gorse bush, I had to search through a lot of spiny branches before giving up . My first find was Ben View, on a weekend drive out of town. evilrooster -the email of the species is deadlier than the mail- Quote Link to comment
GeoDean Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 My First cache was NIMBY but almost 14/8/2001 It was my father that got me into caching as he'd been doing it for about a year before we went to my first find . It took a while because of the tree cover but it got me hooked . My First hidden was Foreign Xchange under my fathers ID , its been archived now though [This message was edited by ukdean on July 15, 2002 at 04:15 AM.] [This message was edited by ukdean on July 15, 2002 at 04:15 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+cone_dxf & family Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Our first cache was Facing Saints on a really beautiful summers evening. As the sun set over St. Cross where Matthew was christened, the view was stunning, after that how could we not continue Quote Link to comment
+Subarite Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Chase memorial on Cannock Chase. I decided to try this after seeing a 'fun things to do with a GPS' on the GPSU web site. It was an alternative to just going for a walk. Took my sister and nephews (ABSA) and had a nice day out. As it was so interesting we also went to 'A king could hide here' and 'Bridal passion'. What a alot has been done and seen since then! Quote Link to comment
