Guest Scottworld Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Cheapest..is the basic Garmin Etrex. If you know someone in the US, they are cheaper over there. Link to comment
Guest Moss Trooper Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Check out www.gpsw.co.uk They do referbished Garmin 12's for about 89 quid.. and will do what you need for caching.. fraid you need a GPS for most.. except my Reivers revenge for one.. but is a fair slog up hill Moss Link to comment

Guest Digmut Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 Count me in...just received my Garmin etrex this morning! I read the article in Computer Active and thought I'd give it a whirl. As one who is addicted to gadgets/gizmo's, particularly online gaming and general internet technology, I need an objective to hold my attention, hopefully geocaching will provide this whilst taking in some air - even my 10 year old daughter wants to get involved!! Hopefully we will put "The Garden of England" well and truly on the map. The irony is that I have no sense of direction whatsoever - here lies my first challenge :-o regards Digmut [This message has been edited by Digmut (edited 07 September 2001).] Link to comment
Guest Roger_and_out Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 I've been lurking in the background for a while. Magellan ColorTrak owner. It's big and heavy compared to the latest units but it does the job splendidly. Tough and waterproof. Aerial extender cable kit useful for 'plane trips. The list of UKGCers has to be over fifty now.

Guest bev Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Bev and Jen Newport, South Wales ICQ 106982845 6th decade! Is anyone keeping a record of numbers on Gods side of the International Border? Just placed our first cache, there are still plenty of places that are not subject to the Foot and Mouth restrictions. I really like the idea of the Pub caches, anyone fancy starting a countrywide trail with suitably friendly landlords? Link to comment
