Be careful, this can get very addictive, especially in the warmer months, and mind you dont go hiding too many containers to be able to look after them all.

I can just imagine the weird and wonderful caches that people from this site could come up with, the mind boggles at the thought of them all :bugeye:

Great to see this has introduced a few others into the wonderful world of geocaching! I know my geocache was only a simple magnetic screw container above, but I do have some nice "mad modder" ideas for future caches. I was hoping that others on here would have ideas and get involved. My cache was found for the first time this morning and a good review was given commenting on the container so I`m pretty chuffed about that.

It is very addictive, I went out to York today and there were loads around the city centre...I was dragging my family around to find them all. They enjoyed the first couple but by number 20 they had sore feet :bugeye:

I'm not a huge fan of nano-containers or micros for that matter. After a while, the charm of geocaching is that it leads you to interesting places you'd never go otherwise. Finding the cache then is rather unimportant, although a "did not find" can be irritating. My favorite caches are those hidden in the woods that one accesses after a nice hike, or a drive in the country.

I`ve heard a few people come out with this on the forums but as many people have said, there are also lots of interesting places in towns and city centres you wouldn`t otherwise see.

We went to York yesterday and did several geocaches around the centre. We found a new park with swings and slide for my daughter, we got taken to large mansion house with lots of history, a bridge over the river that we wouldn`t have normally visited as well as a whole row of shops for my wife that we have never seen before (and we must have visited York 20-30 times now in our life together).

The two that I have planted with my daughter are larger caches in the woodland, but it is unfair to say there are not interesting places to see in villages etc. My third hide, this red micro is placed on a postbox in Ramsbottom which is a lovely interesting and unusual walk through to the park and might push people to walk this way rather than just using the normal car park.
