I'd say here is a good start, but you've already taken that step. What are your interests? I have quite a few local groups in the 'Warwickshire Links' section, see if there's anything there which may be of interest to you.

Thanks Will
I've had a look and there are a couple that interest me.
Looking for more social and sport activities rather than particular hobbies.

NP, I assume you've checked out the sports links section too? There's quite a few there and some are reasonably close to, if not in warwick. Let us know how you get on. _________________:blink: --==Forum Admin Will==-- Your Friendly Forum Admin. - Contact me.

Scuba Diving? Sailing? Any particular sport you had in mind? I rather fancy the idea of bee keeping, but dont have the land

There used to be a cyclists touring club in Warwickshire, I wonder if they're still going.

I asked the all knowledgeable Mr Google to see if he knew. It is a 20th Century style of treasure hunt. Wikipedia says:
Quote: Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure", usually toys or trinkets of little monetary value. _________________Cool
