Got this message from a Geo Caching chap from (I think) the UK....


Hi Dave, I'm Keith Clough from the Pan European site.
I was just wondering if you could help with a none bike dilemma I have... I do "Geocaching" for fun, it's a cross between global orienteering and treasure hunting.

I need to find someone in Australia that I can chat with.

Could you ask your Facebook friends if anyone knows anything about geocaching for me please? Thanks


If anyone can help - pls answer here or PM me to get Keith a resolution....

He also added this after I told him I'd post it up here.....

That's fantastic Dave, if you can tell them that I have a "travel bug" that I need to mail to them and have placed in a cache in Aus, that would help.
Really appreciate it lots...


Cheers, Diesel

Danny's (sulkybear's) wife Gemma is a MAAAADDDDD geocacher. I'm sure she will be more then happy to help.

I know what geocaching is, and know what a travel bug is, but have done any for years...

I once had a passing interest in geocaching when it was just lat/long info, and bought a rather bulky hand-held Garmin GPS.
But looking at the site now, it's evolved into a complex puzzle game with "premium membership".  Someone has worked out how to make money out of that corner of the internet.  I think I'll stick with FarGames etc.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
