45 Geocaches hidden by Robin and June
- mostly west of London in the UK

Updated Thursday 25th October 2012

cache contents Geocaches map Much of this page was last updated in August 2002, and many of the caches were planted in 2001. However, June and I are re-visiting the caches and replacing those that are "worse for wear" or missing. Those recently checked are nearer the top.

Many of the Geocaches hidden by us are easy to find, and are often large tupperware boxes full of low cost "goodies" including things like fluffy animals from OXFAM shops, toys and books for children, and a disposable camera to take a picture of yourself - but to leave in the cache after your walk to enjoy the nearby area.

"Easy" is a relative term: most of our caches can be reached within half an hours pleasant walk, but you may need to spend a few minutes searching for the cache or clues - particularly in wooded areas where GPS signals may not be good. Those marked ** below, may require you to solve a puzzle or find a clue ticket. Those marked *** such as "California" are the most difficult - but not too difficult for anyone. We try to choose places that will be of interest to tourists, and plant caches likely to draw more people into taking up geocaching as a hobby.

Most of the following dates back to 2002 or earlier ...

On Sunday 18th August 2002 Robin and June had a GPS Party
In February 2002, 32 of our 35 caches "went missing". A GeoTrasher? All now replaced :-)
Please don't be afraid to plant caches near us - we'd love you to - less petrol to burn :-)

To access the page on www.navicache.com click on the link provided (e.g. N199).
Please log your finds on www.navicache.com
Please do not use page on geocaching.com (G7176) or rely on Robin's backup (GCWC).

The pages hosted on gpss.co.uk, are NOT intended as an alternative to geocaching web sites such as geocaching.com and navicache.com. They simply provide a "backup" our Geocache information on the Net and on GPSS CDs.

calling card Here is our "calling card" :-) -->

We reccomend that anyone planting their own caches publish them on all three geocaching sites, in addition to keeping their own backups. Similarly, it is suggested that you log your visits onto all geocaching sites hosting the page. All three geocaching sites deserve your support, and this should only cost you a few extra seconds by use of the Windows Clipboard (Control-C and Control-V).

On Monday 5th November 2001 all the Lovelock Geocaches were removed - "archived" - from www.geocaching.com by Jeremy Irish, due to pressure from a small group of Geocachers, mostly in the north of UK who regarded them as "commercial". In February 2002 Robin's write access to these Geocaching.com pages was removed and the majority of caches suddenly "went missing". This could obviously have been coincidental. These pages on geocaching.com (e.g. G7176) should not be used since Robin cannot keep them up-to-date, or even delete them. You should now only use www.navicache.com to access Lovelock cache pages.

You will find information on this controversial subject of the "Too Many Lovelock Geocaches" on the GEOCUK page. At the time of writing this there are only about 100 Geocachers in the UK in total - so it is VERY early days for this hobby indeed :-)

These Lovelock Geocaches are non-commercial and "Public Domain". i.e. the contents of the caches are public property*, as is all information about them, including their location, description, and logged reports of visits to them. Hopefully others will adopt the same policy as this when they come to plant caches, log visits, or host geocache information.
* unless stated otherwise on the cache. e.g. the cache may be property of the landowner.
