Geocaching

Looking for a new hobby, like hiking/cycling but want to add a new dimension to it?

If so then geocaching may be just what you are looking for. It can be done on your own, in groups or as a family activity. Kids love it as it is a treasure hunt! More details can be found on the following links:

  • Geocaching.com [The official home of geocaching on the web] Some data from the site: 

    "Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment."
