+BountyHunter1 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi All Sorry for the tittle but i couldn,t resist. I've been a regular visitor to the geocache .com for a while now, but i havn't actually had a GPSR. This year the i bought one of Ebay which my wife kindly payed for as a Christmas present (£92+p&p). That was at the beginning of December and the miserable soso wrapped it up for xmas without letting me have a play. Even though i had a paddy and have been sulking since then she wouldn't relent. So i had to wait. Well Santa came and brought it and today i went out and found my first cache "Hermits Hole". Not easy but not to hard either, and apart from the fact i had to put my cloths in the wash when i got back due to the coppius amounts of mud attached to them i had a great time.Hopefully going out again tomorrow to try and find "Engines Graveyard" cache. Lets Hope these are the first of many Merry Christmas Happy New Year To all Bounty Hunter1 Quote Link to comment

Silver fox Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Probably the worst thing your better half could have done was buying you a gps. 1 she will never see you now as you'll be out cacheing all the time. 2 she will have to wash all your clothes etc due to falling in bogs and rivers. 3 She will have to tend all your wounds after raking in gorse bushes and tripping over things. I could go on and on but I won't. Hope you enjoy all your future caches. I can't get enough of it. Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Oh dear, you've done it now - you're hooked. Say goodbye to lazy weekends, say goodbye to clean trousers, buy shares in Elastoplast & Duracell. Welcome to the club!

+naffita Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Well done. So you didn't try the slide downhill then? Never mind there's always the next time. naffita Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 So have you thought about caching in the dark yet? Welcome to the sport! Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+Tim & June Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Welcome to the fold and many happy caches to you. Tim & June (Winchester) See June, I told you that sign which said 'Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles' was wrong ! Quote Link to comment
+The Merman Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Just wait until you start planning your holiday destination around Geocache.com! "But darling surely you would prefer to go to Oregon than Tenerife" (Thinks: "I could hit 50 caches in a week") I woke this morning and my boat was not rocking...for one horrid moment I thought I lived in a house!

+BountyHunter1 Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi again Im already planing my weekends away in the summer. We go camping alot up in the Peak District and looking at the caches in the peak area is making my mouth water. May even get some Sunday walks to include some caching Cheers Bounty Hunter1 Quote Link to comment

+Tim & June Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Promoting competing sites is somewhat obviously not permitted here, in the same way that if Virgin Airlines had a forum on their website, you could not advertise British Airways without expecting it to be edited. There are no issues with mentioning other interests in using a GPS though this is not the forum to have a discussion about those interests. The MinuteWar site is http://MinuteWar.org The Geodashing site is http://www.geodashing.org Take care and Happy caching, Tim & June Quote Link to comment
+Team Minim Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I have no axe to grind, but... if Virgin had a link to a BA web site that was "not so good" then they would not lose by the deal. The BA site would not appeal to customers and so pose no threat. If there are competing sites to geocaching.com then why not mention them? The free market thing is a strength of the web innit? Shares in Tupperware? Be a Geocacher! Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Welcome to Geocaching - but I'm a bit puzzled how you could have got muddy at Hermit's Hole, I thought I brought all the mud away on MY clothes. Quote Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 hello jstead i think mud is one of those strange that are self-perpetuating i hope i spelt it right either that or someone dumped another load in the same spot. People will dump anything these days Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hope you enjoy your (no doubt) many caching experiences. One of the good things about Geocaching is when you're taken somewhere very close to your own "turf" and find a special place almost on your own doorstep that you never knew about before! You're in for a good time, just make sure to take a bin-bag with you (cache in, trash out)! Remember: every cache is as good as the first, in it's own way. It's a tradition, or an old charter or something... Quote Link to comment
