    Default Hello

    Hello,
    Just joined this lark at the right/ripe old age of 70. Cor some of them are tricky puzzles aren't they?
    I also find some of the messages hard to understand as there is lots of jargon and slang terms.
    Is there a glossary on here please?
    I took my grandsons on the first one which was probably a mistake as they were very disappointed not to find it.
    Hopeful of the next ones though.
    Kevin

    Thanks Griff Grof,
    My first 3 attempts have been to find 3 fairly easy geocaches. Solved puzzles, in fact one didn't even have a puzzle.
    Sadly all 3 with long extensive searches were all fails. Is this normal success rate or maybe all the easy ones are taken and there is a selection effect here? Either way I had a great time searching and learning about the environ.
    Kevin
