Geocaching

February 24th, 2008 by Two-Wheel-Steve

For those of you who have never heard of it, Geocaching is a kind of “Hi-tech Treasure Hunt”….. basically you have your GPS (Satnav) and a co-ordinate of a location. The idea is to go to this location where you will, after some hunting, find a little “box of treasure”. These will often contain funny little items, a log book and other things which people swap in and out. Sometimes the first location will have a sign or other things which give you clues to a second location, where you will find the cache. The website I use is www.geocaching.com where my profile is “Brightonian“.

This week I decided I would have a go at this, after originally registering about two years ago! I have found caches at Hartfield Station, Wythiam Station, Southease, Piddinghoe and Tidemills. I have also retrieved a “travel bug”, which is a trackable item with a unique number on it, which people move from cache to cache. The one I have in my possession is “Fischer-Bug“.

Here are some Geocaching pictures I took….
