Geocaching is a world wide treasure hunt. All you need are two legs, a GPS device and a brain, (that you are most likely going to forget all about in this primal high tech hunt for Tupperware)
You start by opening the geocaching app on your phone, (you can sign up for free and connect it to Facebook) to you see what geocaches are near you.

The big rule for Geocaching is you MUST place it back where you found it. You also have to sign the logbook for it to count, and you can only take something out if you replace it with something equal or bigger in size/worth. One of the most exciting things about geocaching is the travel bugs. These are items that are placed in geocaches, that you can track. The aim is to take it out of one geocache, and put in another, for someone else to come along and do the same. I created one and placed it in a geocache in Aberdeen, it's now in Norway, (I Think)


I've been stuck in trees, fallen in streams, fallen out of trees, scared out of my mind doing night time geocaching. I've been stung by nettles, stuck in hedges, covered in mud, slugs, and spiders, and I would not change a single one of those things. They have all been some of the best times of my life. It gets you out and about to places you've never heard of or seen. It can teach you about places you do know. Giving you a backstory to places you've known and loved your whole life.
