Davros Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Anyone done this? It's well good and all that... Patience is a virtue, persistence is important Got me 3 tonight. We used to call this letter-boxing in my day but it was fun with no GPS I don't see the fun with GPS its like rock up and erm that was easy... I remember finding an Ice cream tub on Dartmoor with nothing but a compass and a pair of boots, the youth of today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't understand the appeal. Why do you do it? Genuine question by the way! Got into doing this just tonight. Wouldn't say I'd make a hobby out if it - but I did discover some qwerky parts of Bristol that I wouldn't have discovered if it weren't for it. Good bit of harmless fun.

red panda Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Brilliant for the little ones. Exactly - good way of getting them out into the open air. And takes you to places you wouldn't otherwise visit. If you want a real challenge, try doing it without a GPS - we had quite a good success rate with OS maps (plus experience of the kind of places these things get hidden) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Where can you find out the locations? If you download the app, it will show you something like the closest 5/6 caches. Alternatively go on the geocaching website and you can put in an area of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
