+minstrelcat Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Not as far as I know - I think I'm the only Kent-based cacher who uses these forums. Lisa Quote Link to comment
interpleb Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Not as far as I know - I think I'm the only Kent-based cacher who uses these forums. I'm a wannabe Kent Cacher, I am hopefully coming to the end of a stressful house sale and move to Maidstone from London in the next couple of weeks. Looking at the list of caches, there don't seem to be many in Kent and Sussex :-( Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) My kid bro' lives in Dargate and while he's not a 'registered' cacher, he helped place the one cache I have in the area (sorry about the blatent cache advertising ). We have plans to plant a couple more in the not-too-distant future. Edited March 2, 2005 by Pharisee Quote Link to comment

+keiko Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hello We live in Northern California, USA and will be visiting our Aunt who owns a home in Elham. We plan to arrive around the 1st week in August, and would like to talk with some Geocachers in the area. We will be placing some T.B.s in the area and hope to bring some back home. So are also interested in meeting Geocachers in the Kent (Elham) area. Keiko Quote Link to comment

+McDeHack Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Found my first cache today..... Brockhill Park......using only my TomTomGo......Lost my virginity at last... See I told you it can be done with a Tomtom Go. As I said on another post I had forgot my Etrex and only had my TTG to find the caches. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Found my first cache today..... Brockhill Park......using only my TomTomGo......Lost my virginity at last... See I told you it can be done with a Tomtom Go. As I said on another post I had forgot my Etrex and only had my TTG to find the caches. I've found quite a few caches using just my iQue 3600 which is basically a Palm PDA with a built-in GPS receiver. I just gradually zoom in on the map as I approach 'ground zero' and when the little triangle is directly over the cache icon on the map, I bend down and pick up the cache.... well, almost anyway The only problem is the very limited battery life when the GPS and backlight are powered up. It's not practical for a days caching but it is OK for the occasional 'passing cache'. Quote Link to comment
+Tzus Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 It would appear not!! I'd move if I were you.. Sorry its not much of a reply but I just hate to see a lonely thread!! I am waiting for my GPS to arrive this week. Looking forward to doing some caching. I live in Ashford. Quote Link to comment
+__chris__ Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Its the old story of Man of Kent versus Kentish Men ... I'm afraid that I'm at the other end of the county to you as I live in sunny Sidcup. Quote Link to comment
