I know many of you will think what is geocaching - i certainly did until very recently. Its really a bit of a treasure hunt using a gps. My friend got me into it a few weeks ago.
You use a gps (or a paper map, but i'm not that bright!) to plot co-ordinates and then it takes you to a cache. A cache is a small hidden container which sometimes has wee goodies in it, similar to what you may get in a christmas cracker. All containers will have paper to reccord your visit. You must be registered to leave your name. I find my first one by myself a few days ago in my village cos i recognised the description, sadly exciting!!
I've still to get myself a gps but as i have to walk the dog anyway, i'm looking forward to looking for items
If you are interested www.geocaching.co.uk will give you lots of info.
