+Sensei TSKC Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hi there. Found GeoCaching by mistake and found my first cache on the same day, however, I used it as a test as I knew the answer (virtual cache). That got thinking about doing another one. Had probs converting co-ordinates so I contacted SP and he helped me out, so I suppose - SP - you have another adoptee! I'll try not to be too much of a pain. Working on number 2 now. Looking forward to playing more. Based in Bucks. Quote Link to comment
+steviep Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 trust me, SP will not mind he will only too willing to help through thick & thin. welcome to the sport/hobby/pastime Quote Link to comment

60North Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Shetland – If you live here or are coming here on holiday or work basis then I am more than happy to show you around. You will need to provide the transport though for Unst, Fetlar, Yell or North Mainland, or be prepared for a good walk around the Lerwick Area!! I have a spare GPS, so if you don’t have one and want to see what it is all about before lashing out the money you may borrow it whilst we are out together. Offer is open until end of November 2005, after which time I may be becoming nomadic again. Scotland beckons! I am usually available from Friday afternoon to Wednesday morning.

netwalker Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Nice going davester I always wonder about emailing new cachers but don't like to spam people. I have some info in my profile about the forums just in case anybody looks I have been watching geocache for a while now and I must admit it has been a little confusing and there have been a lot of questions I would have liked to ask of an experienced user. These are newbie questions that you feel silly asking so having someone adopt-a-newbie sounds like a good idea to me and there is nothing wrong in email the person to tell them that if they want help it is there for them. On a up note I have finally gone out looking for a cache and found it and this gave be a great buzz even though it was an easy one, I retrieved a travel bug which want to go where I a going so it has set me off to a great start. I’ve got hooked on geocacheing and can’t wait to start looking for more. Quote Link to comment
Tsongkapa Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm coming over to London for a few days in July (from South Africa) and would like to find a couple of caches while there. I would appreciate some assistance in people letting me know which caches are available in the London area. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm coming over to London for a few days in July (from South Africa) and would like to find a couple of caches while there. I would appreciate some assistance in people letting me know which caches are available in the London area. Thanks. Beeelimey. There are loads of caches in London. I recommend looking at Teasel's excellent Interactive Map. If still unsure I have no doubt a London based cacher will be delighted to help. Good luck and hope you have a great trip.

+derrylynne Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 If anyone wants help with the ropes we will be pleased to help . We are in Mid Glamorgan, South Wales and go out as far as Neath to the north, and Barry, Porthcawl and Swansea on the coast. Anywhere else within about a 20 miles radius we tend to get out to. This is a really helpful idea for anyone wanting to learn how to use a gps well and to get some really good tips. Quote Link to comment

I have a colleague on the Bute forum who has given a bit of advice, but if there is anyone who wants to take me under their wing then that would be nice.

+The Hokesters Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Anyone in the South Lincolnshire area, near to Stamford, Peterborough able to show me the ropes? I recommend Stamford Taurus when you have a few finds under your belt. The 'clue hunt' around the town is great fun but the actual final cache box is tricky to find. I hope you get hooked up with someone to help you out soon and perhaps they could take you on Stamford Taurus. Sorry but it is a bit of a trek for us out there. Quote Link to comment

+rutson Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Don't think you'll have too much problem finding help over there. Only thing is, most of the active cachers are going camping in the Lakes this weekend. Rest assured, you'll be helped Quote Link to comment
