Newby question

[Guest Clyde]

I'm just about to purchase my first receiver and am looking forward to geocaching. I might be missing something here but when I looked at the list of caches in the UK it struck me that there was no easy way of telling if any of them were anywhere near where I live (Hertfordshire) without going into each individual file. Would it not make sense to at least include the county in the cach title?

That makes sense and a good idea

You can also do a seach by lat/long.

If you work out the co-ords of your house and then enter them into the above page it will list the nearest-farthest caches from your doorstep. Save that page in your favourites and just click to go straight there each time
