hello geocachers :)

there were lots of outdoorsy shite threads, but now we have our new great outdoors forum, I thought I'd start a new thread for us :)

I am (one of) Dave's Piglings and an in Bedfordshire. We've currently got about 140 finds and 9 caches placed :)

Hello fellow geocachers. Might be nice to get this thread moving again? We've just done our 100th cache, started last August. We love it!! It's proved to be a great hobby, dts 8 really enjoy it. A newbie took dts travelbug and hasn't moved it on grrr. I have messaged and emailed them but nothing....any other tips?

Hello another geocaching MNetter here. I found 5 caches over 3 years, then really got the bug (a new phone, then a GPS) 2 years ago and we're just approaching 450 finds now.
The kids are nowhere near as enthusiastic as I am. 8yo DD has to be practically dragged out of the house but has fun once out. 4yo DS likes it more. DH isn't a fan but joins us occasionally.

Coming don't give up on the TB, sometimes they come back into circulation. I've got one which I suspect has going into someone's collection, but I've got 3 others that are still travelling. The kids released one each last year and they've both clocked up several thousand miles each thanks to 2 well travelled caches.

Hi all, I'm another geocacher. Have about 60 finds over 9 months but now on maternity leave so am getting a few most days. Hoping to get to 100 by the end of the month.

Have people paid for the app? I had the free one, did a few, then they updated it and made loads only available to you if you bought the app!

Am thinking it might be worth it, DP works a lot and I get bored easily with the kids on my own

Hi folks, am just getting into geocaching. Have caught the bug! Did my first 4 recently and can't wait to get more done, have been making lists and deciding which to do next.
I took my dc with me and they enjoyed it, particularly when they got a little toy each! Although they wre slightly disappointed when the next 2 held nothing except the logsheet, despite being big enough to hold more. I guess some people take but don't put back? We added a small toy to those 2 so they won't be empty for the next people.

I got the free app but paid to be a premium member- I figured its not much compared to the amount of time we'll spend doing it. Means you can save offline maps as well.

I don't think I've posted on here before, but I was annoyed a couple of years ago to find I now have to pay for premium membership on the Groundspeak app in order to store offline lists - I paid, made lists and found I couldn't use them offline which defeated the object of them. I didn't renew, but wondered if this was working properly now?
