Found a top new excuse for a walk!....
(Not that I need an "excuse" with my great new ticker!
Love to walk, JUST BECAUSE I CAN!!....)
www.geocaching.com !
Its a fantastic idea to make going out for a walk fun and exciting!
The premise is simple. You set up/join (Free!) and then have access
to the GEO-graphical CACHE -stashes! People hide/bury "Caches" along
foot paths, public areas etc and then post the co-ordinates as a kind
of "Treasure Hunt"! The rules are simple. You respect the users and the
web sites ethics etc, and play fairly! Everytime you find a "Cache" you
open it, take something (small toys/trinkets/novelties/pen etc) write a
note in the visitors book in the box/container, put your own thing in to
replace the taken item, reseal-rebury it, log on and update the cache
log so the original stasher knows who's been to thier "Treasure"!
My friend Lewis and I decided to try it, and found our first one! It was
so exciting looking for it, and we eventually found it hidden low down in
some tree branches, in a clump of trees in the middle of a field! We found
all sorts of things, and read the various visitors notes, and found an E-trackable
token, which we will "re-locate"!
We had a great walk in the fresh air some laughs trying to find the Cache!
The Squirrell will have to do one now!
