Geo-caching..
Ever heard of Geo-caching? Nor had I until a friend mentioned it..it’s an app that basically uses GPS to find treasures hidden by others all across the world (over 2 million and counting). We used it for the first time on our little holiday..First you see a map that marks where the booty lies, then a compass points you in the right direction and counts down the metres to your prize.
The pleasure is it leads you to unexpected places..the journey is half the fun..
Our trail led us to this memorial dedicated to Airmen from World War 1.
You get within 10 feet of the treasure..then you have to start looking..
Success!
Inside was a log book to mark your discovery.
And then you can choose a prize – as long as you’ve got something to put inside as well..we left some dice! Then it’s time to return it to it’s little hidey hole for another explorer to find..
It’s a fabulous way to add an extra spin to a day…any day!

Such a good idea, Im going to give it a go! xx
That’s a fantastic idea. Sometimes I love technology! Xxx
I’ve always wanted to try this but my husband seems to think it’s a dumb idea! Can I borrow your kids to go with me?
Your hols definitely had a Famous Five flavour about them. What great fun.
Wow, sounds really exciting! I have never heard of it.
Sounds like such fun! I’ll check on it, here in the States!
I absolutely love geocaching!!! it’s so much fun to try and find the geocache, especially if it’s really small. I found one on time that was the size of a lipstick tube with rolled paper in it, wedged underneath a bench. I’ve always walked past the area and would have never known!
Wonderful idea! Sounds great fun xx
Oh my goodness!!! What fun I could have with the grandboys… With summer holidays around the corner, what a brilliant idea!!! Thank you
I had no idea! Technology overload at its best. I’m trying it ASAP! xxx
😀 Wow! I’m impressed! Sounds like fun 🙂
My AP Human Geography class is doing that right now, but on a small scale! My teacher alwasy talks about it. You’re not alowed to let other people see you find the “treasure” becuase they then might take it. Also my teacher also told me that the non-geo cachers are called “muggles.”
ooh, that sounds like a lot of fun! Must try it.
That looked like such a fun adventure, I might try geo catching for myself!

I’d heard about geo-caching but never tried it!
I keep meaning to do this. Apparently there are some caches around Singapore, too.
This sounds both lovely as well as interesting!! I hope the app is never misused.
