I've done Geocaching quite a few times now. Mostly with the Cub Scouts. It is really good, its a bit like orienteering / treasure hunt / hike rolled into one. Some of the Caches can be difficult to find, they could by little magnetic boxes underneath benches that have a log in them for you to sign. Others can be small tupperware tubs hidden under railway sleepers, rocks etc. People tend to leave little tokens in these, we leave our group name tapes in them. You can then log into the Geocache website to record which ones you have done. You can also set off a Travel bug, which people move from Cache to Cache and log on the website which one they have left it in, you can then see how far and where it has travelled to.

But yes - good fun!! give it a go

Have read a little about it and found one. A member, colleague & friend of mine is really into it. I have linked his profile below, he won't mind you pm'ing him for info.

Hope this helps

I knew immediately who you were on about then!!!!! He was the one that got me into it! In fact he should be busy now planning a route on the Huncoat Trail for us.

Re: geocaching - anyone do this?
 

just been chatting to him on FB so I bet he's slacking!!! Will sort him out tomorrow at work!!!

Re: geocaching - anyone do this?
 

Im thinking of the best way to go about it, may lay our own route so there is more so each member of our new group 'St Augustines Scout group' get the chance to find a few in a day, as well as keeping the offical geocaches in the route.
