Important Membership Announcement

We have separated membership of our forums from membership of GAGB. If your membership application was validated prior to 9am BST on 3rd May 2008 you are a member of both GAGB and of our forums. If your application was validated after that time, or if you apply for membership of our forums now or in the future, you are or will become a member of our forums only, but not a member of GAGB itself. You can check whether you're a member or not, and join GAGB itself if you wish, HERE.

Geocaching is a fairly new pastime to sweep its way across the UK. Often likened to a "treasure hunt" geocaching is an enjoyable way to enjoy the great countryside and get out into the fresh air and away from the TV/PC or whatever. Many find that it is a gentle and easy way to get some exercise and the kids love it too.

The real "treasure" in geocaching though, is the location, enjoying nature, the countryside and getting there. If you are not familiar with the sport/hobby/pastime of geocaching, visit our "What is Geocaching" page.

GAGB has set up a phone message service on 07092 040 416. This can be used to contact the GAGB committee. Additionally, any UK cacher, whether a member of GAGB or not, is welcome to use the number as a contact number in a cache. Any messages regarding that cache will be passed on to the cache owner.

Please use our "Contact Us" Page to get in touch with GAGB if your enquiry is not deemed to be urgent.

Please note that this website is not intended to compete with other websites, it is a supportive part of the association whose aims are essentially to provide a cohesive representation for cachers.
