Since it originally got its start in Europe, and a good percentage of our members seem to be on that side of the pond. It occurred to me there could be other enthusiasts here. If so I would love to chat with you. |

Been Geocaching on and off for years. I always take the gps with me on holiday.
Mostly around London, the south east and Shropshire. |

I haven't done any geocaching, but back in the '90s when my brother was at university in Exeter, we did some letterboxing on Darmoor - https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/enjoy-dartmoor/outdoor-activities/letterboxing-and-geocaching |

" Geocaching and Letterboxing " sounds a bit kinky to me, especially on Dartmoor |

You need to be a bit circumspect on how determined you are to find the hidden treasure. Cachers, sometimes hide things in very public places where you stand out, poking about looking for the goodies. Those 35mm film canisters were the most popular containers to stow when I was out on the prowl. They can fit into a very small crack or crevice.
I had one experience on the Thames Embankment where a pair of City of London coppers came up and just stood there watching me and the then g/f acting very suspicious, lifting things and generally nosing around. We realised they knew what we were doing when one shook his head as we turned to them about to explain our odd behaviour.
We spend the next 10 minutes or so walking to a spot and looking back to him to see if we were getting hot or not. He just kept on shaking his head until they got bored and walked off.
Never found the bloody thing. |

If I'm hunting for one somewhere with a security guard or high police presence (airports are fun.... not) I generally approach an officer and explain first. Some people stress being secretive but then go and hide an ammo box container in the airport parking garage so yeah - don't wanna get seen out of context putting it back 🤣 |
