newbie here

Post by masobec » 03 January 07 7:57 am

Hi there guys and gals. I'm obviously a newbie here. Just thought i would let you guys know that i'm off on my virgin hunt. I have plans for 3 caches today. All local and 2 within walking distance from home...thought that might be a good way to start. I will log back in later this evening to let you know how i went...fingers crossed i find at least 1.....ooooh i'm so excited...... :D

Thanks guys.....turned out to be an awful day, drizzling and the raining....so not the best type of day to go trudging through bush reserves and climbing rocks...might give it another go this weekend if the wether holds out.

If you need a mentor for the first few caches, drop a line to anyone in the Sydney region - myself included. It always takes a few cache finds to get the hang of it.

Wait till you get hooked, nothing will stop you going out caching :twisted:

Yes the concept of not caching due to foul weather confused me for a moment...then I realised that the addiction has probably yet to take root! :twisted:

Good luck and enjoy the hunt.

If you ever need any help with caches on the Northern edge of Sydney let me know :)

I did my first cache in the rain last month. That's when you know you are hooked. The weather doesn't mean anything.
Good luck, of the first three caches I tried I only found two. A Did Not Find only means you get to stress about where you didn't look and worry about how many friends you can rope into the search next time.
Have fun.
