Obi Wan Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 (edited) I have collected a TB today which orginated in Germany. It wants to visit the first cache in every country. It has already visited the first in Wales. Which was the first in England and Scotland for that matter so I can point it the right direction? Incidently the TB's page is http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?ID=35833 Cheers. Obi. Edited January 23, 2004 by Obi Wan Quote Link to comment
+Richard&Pepper Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I did some searches on geocacheuk and I believe THIS is the first in Scotland, and THIS is the first in England. Going by the name of the Scottish one, I am fairly confident that is right Richard Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I did some searches on geocacheuk and I believe THIS is the first in Scotland, and THIS is the first in England. Going by the name of the Scottish one, I am fairly confident that is right Richard Scotland's First was also the first cache to be placed on the UK mainland. I believe I'm right in saying that the View From Coombe Hill wasn't the first cache to be placed in England but it is the oldest surviving cache. This was discussed on a thread a few months ago and I'm going from memory. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment

I did think it was a bit strange that View From Coombe Hill did not mention anywhere that it was the first in England, but it definitely does list as the oldest current cache. I didn't consider that the first one in England might not still exist Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 See this thread which seems to cover this pretty well. Read the whole thread for full details. Quote Link to comment
Obi Wan Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the assistance. I will attach a little note to the TB to set it the right direction. Probably to 'View From Coombe Hill' first as it's a bit closer. Cheers. Obi. Edited January 26, 2004 by Obi Wan Quote Link to comment
