It'll make a whole lot more sense once you do one.....

well I don't know if I'll be in UK anytime soon....:)

hey if you ever come to Colorado let's go geocaching together! Or where are you? If I ever come out your way I could let you know insha'allah....

All you need is some kind of gps device and Internet so you can go to geocaching.com and find one that you want to go look for.

On the website, you can, for example, type in a zip code and it will bring up caches in that area. Click on one and read about it and if you decide you want to go find it, write down its coordinates and then put them in your gps with some kind of name so you can find them later. You should also use something like Google Maps or Mapquest (linked from the cache page) so you can tell the general area and not have to go off coordinates alone. You may need to create a profile to use the geocaching.com site but it is free.

It is fun - great hobby, healthy, inexpensive after the initial expense of one to two hundred dollars for the gps.

I hope that helps!
