+ryme-intrinseca Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Erm - I'm hoping this isn't someone with a sock puppet account? mtfc94 - have you typed your postcode into the search box on www.geocaching.com? That will show you which caches are hidden closest to your house. Quote Link to comment

They include things such as TomToms, mobile phones with GPS chips, and handheld devices designed for outdoor use such as the eTrex: Edited April 15, 2007 by Edgemaster Quote Link to comment
+ryme-intrinseca Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) Basically, geocaching is a bit like a ‘treasure hunt’, in which people use GPS receivers (satellite tracking devices) to locate hidden boxes. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can use the clues to discover the boxes (called ‘geocaches’) without using a GPSr. The boxes usually contain items like keyrings or small toys, and the idea is that you take an item out, and leave another item of equal or greater value in its place. The geocache also has a log book inside, in which you write your usename, the date you found it and any comments you have. You then go to the Geocaching website and log your find on the geocache’s own page. PS. Thank you Edgemaster, forgot that bit. Edited April 15, 2007 by ryme-intrinseca Quote Link to comment

You need to log your visit by clicking on the top button of the navigation pane at the top right of a cache page. This opens the New Log Window and in the drop down there is an option to class the log as "Found it" I think I got all that right, if I didn't someone will soon tell us Again, Welcome, Eckington PS Stag! as a lifelong Spireite I shouldn't even be seen talking to you Quote Link to comment
