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.
