    Geocaching

    Walking yesterday and got talking to some chap who's really into this. Got a Garmin Oregon but never used it to search for little boxes full of pencils etc. Looks silly to me, like Pokemon, but who knows?

    Any geocache fanatics here?

        Give it a go.

        Geocaching used to be great - clever hides in nice places, but there are a lot of lazy hides these days. So read the logs, look at ones with 'favourite' points and go have some fun in the woods

          We used to do them occasionally - it's good fun. Bit of an excuse to get out and about and go to places you wouldn't normally.

              Remember who you're suggesting this to.

                Don't forget a roll of carpet and a shovel.

                  You need to call a spade a spade.

                    Well, a shovel is shaped like a spade (the card), but a spade (the garden tool) is designed for more precise cutting/digging. A shovel will leave a more natural look to the ground afterwards.
