Geocaching - First attempt
Posted by Eloise on 26 Dec 2006 at 03:33 pm | Tagged as: General
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.
Woooohooooo!!!
You found a plastic box in the woods!!
[...] 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. [...]
