CUK Grub Club did a trip to the Netherlands last year, a few of us spent a half day wandering around Leiden, Geocaching, and saw loads of stuff we would never have found otherwise.
It gets you outside, takes you to places that you might not usually go to and its actually quite funOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.Comment

There is a website where you log your finds. It's completely free, but if you pay for premium membership you get your stats page, which shows milestone finds, countries logged etc, etc.
Some people have done tens of thousands of caches. Some have a run of 1000 consecutive caching days or more. You can take it as competitively (or not) as you want.
If it doesn't interest you, don't do it.Comment

talks

So it can't be a total clincher.Comment

I have a couple of trackables with me here in the US.
Mudskipper introduced me to Geocaching. When she offered to take me into the local woods to show me her secrets, I went willingly, with a skip in my walk & twinkle in my eye. How disappointed I was that first time to find she was pulling some junk out of a tree as opposed to pulling my..
Anyway, these days I find it useful cover for the police in case I am ever stopped while appearing from out of the trees or being found two stories up on the side of a local nurses student digs.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
