Hello there!
My name is Conrad and most of the year I live in Austria. I've been a teacher of English, History, Geography and the Arts in Austrian schools.
I might be called a lover of the English countryside, which I plan to explore in greater detail in future.
In 2015 I became - a very timid - geocacher (the bug had not caught yet) and it took until 2017 to gather momentum.
I'd love to take part in walks and make acquaintances with other compassionates.

I've been one of those that goes from the front to the back and back to the front, etc trying to chat with most but it's a good point, it is a group walk and we should stick together (hopefully not from mud!). Sorry Ems, there was a steep bit that split us up

Moving on as a group at each cache should make the group stick together.

I’m sorry to hear that she didn’t enjoy the walk. It’s not the first time this point has been raised. 

I’m sure those at the front aren’t doing this intentionally - they might not realise, it may not cross their minds, or they might think there are enough people behind them to accompany the slower walkers.

My suggestion would be to make an announcement before setting off - something along the lines of “remember it’s a group walk, so we need to stick together and give people time to catch up before moving on”.

Maybe we could count how many people there are before setting off, and check that everyone is at each cache location before announcing that we can move on to the next?

In addition, we could have a few volunteers staying at the back of the group for the duration of the walk.

I've just come back from Notts, not going back up that way till Boxing Day.

Is anyone planning to attend? It's quite a popular event, and I've heard good things about it:

GC8CVNR, this Saturday (Nov 30th), from 11am.
