Whats your Geocaching name?

[Logit]

Hi guys, now, those of you that dont have any idea what im talking about go here is a short introduction....

"Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment"

Anyway, the main purpose of this thread is to find out who from BCUK is a geocacher...

I will start.... My Geocaching name is "Ruggedswordfish" and yours?

Im Launditch on groundspeak.I have yet to go out and find any properly.

I'm in the USA but my name is CheifnTripolee, I misspelled Chief which is one of my wife's pet names for me. She's Tripolee which is a play on triple E because her intials are EEE, which is an improvement because her maiden name initials were EEW.

Would you beleive mine is "MartiniDave" - but I haven't found the time to get out caching for several months now. Something I must do!

Swampy99 for me. havn't done and caching for awhile. Think I will take it up in Oz around my way it only seems likw micros so no point in looking. I want to find big stuff.

We're the Stanton Warriors* - only started a few weeks ago though.

SHMBO was a bit dubious to start but she's really into it now - she's not much of an outdoor person and thought it was all a bit geeky, but we've been out for a couple of weekend strolls and she thinks it's great now.

Just adds a bit of interest to a Sunday afternoon stroll, and great for kids.

*also the name of a popular drain cover!

a really good loop near me is the UK MEGA SERIES..

it 250ish caches in a loop. i did it in just over 12 hours on my bike.... fifty odd miles cross country! up and down hills, no contouring... doh!

 

[locum76]

Do you get to keep stuff if you find it? Or is it just one big global orienteering exercise?

 

[hiho]

Don't do it personally, but when out at the paper caves the other week, we bumped into a squad of around 8 folks all harnessed up going into the caves... on the way out they explained what they were doing. We went down, minus the harnesses etc and tried to get to the final wee bit, but by god it's a tight squeeze, and I justy couldn't get any foot grip to push muself into the crack. Have to say fist look at it, I did feel a mild claustriphobic, but after Bivibabe had a go, I just had to didn't I? lol We met up with the other lot after we climbed out and had a nibble, they are quite into it apparently, and the paper caves is one of the hardest they've done. One of them lost his flask as it fell into a small bit deep erm.. hole in the ground..
