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.
What brilliant fun, AND I FOUND MY FIRST ONE!!
We had clues and hints that indicated a scroll of paper (on which to record your find) was hidden inside a cannon ball at the base of a tree at a nearby roundabout (OMG it was so exciting) so we took Sammie with us and the hunt began. "Stealth" was definitely required (though to be honest it just looked like I was picking up Sammie's dog mess)and YIPPEE I made my first find!!
Pixen wrote our name inside, it had been found previously 7 days ago, and then you log on to the website and record it there also.
Then I had to re-hide it!
This one was classed as fairly easy so we carried on walking to where we knew there was another geocache but this was far more tricky, in fact we spent over an hour grovelling under bushes and climbing up slopes to try and find it, reluctantly giving to defeat in the end. Pixen DID manage to collect some fresh conkers though, which will help to keep the spiders at bay.(One in each corner of your room and you will not see another spider)
I personally think some muggles must have moved this geocache, but when Pixen "GETS THE APP FOR THAT" I'll go back for another look!!
And Sammie had a great time, all those new smells and sniffs... we were out for 2 hours.
Meanwhile Husb was harvesting some of our magnificent/terrific/tremendous/superb garden produce!
YIPPEE!
