Geocaching – First attempt

Today we tried geocaching.  Brad had received a GPS unit as a birthday present, so we thought we would give it a go.

We started with one along the Frome Valley Walkway as we know the area.  We did make it a little harder as we left from home and not Winterbourne as suggested.

We found the general area of the first clue easily, but had a bit of trouble actually finding it.  It wasn’t helped by the tree cover and that we didn’t know what we were looking for.  20 minutes later and I spotted the clue. It took us another 20 minutes to figure out how to put a new Waypoint into the GPS.  After that we were on our way, and it probably only took us another 10 minutes to find the cache.

    [...] I know it sounds silly looking for plastic containers in the woods or on top of hills, but it is a good excuse to go for a walk together and Brad seemed to enjoy it. Click here for details of their first geocache experience. [...]
