Geocaching kit for kids?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at running a geocaching exercise during a residential for 12-13 yr olds. It's going to be themed around the venue which is a nuclear bunker, and I'm thinking of using (safe) objects that give off just enough radiation to register on a geiger counter.

 

I'll need to buy four or five GPS handsets. I'll get quite a lot of use out them in the future, but I'm after the cheapest I can get that will be clear and reasonably easy to use.

 

Any suggestions for good entry-level kit?

 

Thanks.

Don't forget that GPS won't work *in* the bunker...
