Hi All,

 

Im new here and to the geo trend, Im just wondering if there any players in the Consett area of Durham that would like to get together instead of hunting alone? Also wondering if you can get the correct co ordinates via a mobile phone to be able to place your own cache?

 

Hope to make some geo_buddies

You may be better looking on facebook for a local group, not many look at the forum anymore.

Second the facebook coment.

Either try a search for a local group, or try the GAGB (Geocaching Association of Great Britain) site and ask if there's a local group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thegagb/

 

You can get decent coordinates with a phone.

Take your time getting them. Take lots of readings, and avargae them.

 

When you think you have a 'good' set of coordinates, walk away from the cache and see if they return you to the same place, from different directions.

There is a list of several of the regional groups on the GAGB website (link to the page)
