Hello From Lancashire!!

[ThePeckwoods]

Hello All!

Just thought we'd drop in and say "Greetings from Lancashire!"

We've only been Geo Caching for a week now and are pretty well hooked
Still amazed by the fact there are so many out there right under everyone's noses, and gutted we've only just cottoned on to it all... ;)

Well we've been out every day and have a tidy 15 under our belt so far even had the chance to grab one before work yesterday morning and went for a wander in the creepy woods in the middle of nowhere the other night ... yeah that was fun! needless to say due to the lack of torchlight, we failed to find it!?


Well anyway hope to get to know you all!

Welcome to this addiction called Geocaching, its great fun and a good reason to go for a walk.
Hope you enjoy the forums, anything you need to know just ask and an answer will appear, as if by magic 'well almost'

Hehe! the walk is definitely helping remove that extra Christmas weight, the lazy Labrador already looks at us with "Please no more give me a break" look every time we get the lead out but, needs must and our new found addiction has to be fed!

I must thank you for your welcomes and have already found this forum to be quite a friendly place already :)

Now to work out our route for tomorrow evening, anyone know where to purchase one of those "torch" things? ;)

Why not belatedly join the mileage challenge, it is only for fun.

[Jacaru]

Welcome welcome. Yes, I may not be Dr Dick, but I can safely diagnose that you are addicts. There is only one course of action for this. Get out, find more, then get out more and find even more. It isn't a cure, there isn't one, but at least while you are suffering, you will have a big grin on your face. And yes, please do join our fun mileage challenge, it started on January 1st, but any finds from then can be back dated.

[ThePeckwoods]

:applause: hahaha! sounds like a challenge! I must find out more? where do we sign up?
Just came back from a late night jaunt involving a dark field, a tree and some scary sheep! so I've managed to get a least 1 daily ! hehe

Hello All!

standard items whenever i go out, even if it is shopping for a pint of milk : torch, pen, leatherman

not that I am obsessed or anything, just prepared.

Hi again,

If you want to sign up, activate a new geocoin from 1st Jan, then dip it in to every UK cache that you do this year. Don't worry, it can be backdated to do any caches you have done this year. The GAGB is a good coin but you will find plenty more on Ebay for sale as well if you don't want to use the GAGB one. If you do decide to use a GAGB one, Dr Dick will be along shortly to let you have details about buying one from him, along with the coin number so that you can activate it straight away and dip it before it arrives. Pauses for deep breath. Thanks.

Do they? Thats cool. I am in only in Burnley and still never ever met a fellow geocacher.

HaHa:lol: It's funny that you should mention that cache as I'm a delivery driver for a certain sportswear retailer and I put the co-ords in my GPSr for that cache after my last visit to that particular store and (you're probably ahead of me here) 3 months later I haven't been back to Bolton!:dunno:

[Boltonian]

Well come on down, have a brew. get to the co-ords and sit outside the **** coffee bar and watch the ladies go by.

(You will be less than 30 feet from it):ph34r:.

snip ..... I'm a delivery driver for a certain sportswear retailer ....snip

So that is why your mileage coin is doing so well :D
