Kry10 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Sorry for dragging this thread out of the depths of the archice, but, just recently got into this sport/hobby/interest (delete where appropriate) and am finding it enjoyable, it is amazing how many caches are dotted around without being aware of them.

Miss_S_83 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just started Geocaching, found 2 in Sherwood forest, one in Lynwood gardens is it? Nr Hallamshire...?? And 5 today! 4 of them were in/around Graves Park and the other near Boots at Drakehouse Retail Park.. loving it! Anyone know of any other places we can take our little kids out for the day in or around Sheffield with lots of caches to discover? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike142sl Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I stumbled upon this caper recently. It's a bit of a laugh / challenge whilst out on a walk. Plenty around us here in Sheffield, just use the Google Map option on geocaching.com and they show up. I remember being taken on 'terasure hunts' in cars around debyshire, where someone would give you a few pages of clues and you would have to drive around finding the answers. this is a sort of high tech version of that. Very satisfying when you find it though. Might even set one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillyland Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I tried it a few weeks ago.....by putting the co-ordinates into Google Earth and then printing off an ariel view. The clue on geocacheing website said under the root of a tree. Never found it.....just came home covered in mud and with a cut hand dripping blood. It is a very popular pastime though, and gives a purpose to going out and getting some exercise. Many of my camping friends are in to it bigtime, to the point of asking for our meets to be in areas with lots of caches. I'm still resisting the temptation to buy a GPS.... I went to this one today.... I have come home with a dislocated ankle and covered from head to foot in wasp stings. Found it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamf Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm thinking of doing a bit of this. I actually found one with a map & compass & the notes from the website, but I've failed to find 3 others that way. How much do I need to spend for a suitable GPS?
