We have been out and found our first one! This one was at Nescliffe (GCGAXC) and we even managed to use the GPS.
Steven was very non-plused with his present yesterday as he had never even heard of Geocaching and could not understand who hid the treasure etc. But came out this morning and actually quite enjoyed the hunt as he was better at the GPS than me and he found the cache.
Steven & Liam climbed around the barrier to climb the precarious steps to Kynastons cave and persuaded me to have a go as well - bad move as I found it very scary. Fascinating to think that a family of 9 lived in the cave in the eighteenth century - it was tiny.
Liam confidently exploring the cave & steps, but I was a total woss and needed help up and could only come down on my bottom!
This is not a smile it is a grimace!
Steven is keen to find some more now, but working this weekend so will have to wait a while now. I even managed to upload lots of caches into the GPS last night from geocaching.com - which was very easy and better than I thought as I had visions of having to type in all the coordinates etc.

Congratulations on finding your first geocache! And welcome to the addiction. You can forget about scrapbooks. Geocaching is all consuming. My wife and I have been doing it for less than a year, and we have found over 200 geocaches. We are having a blast.
If you are interested, we are on blogger too. Stop by and say hello. We like meeting new friends online.
