Geocache

We thought it would be fun to try Geocaching so headed out on our bikes with GPS in hand and 3 local caches to find. A couple of kms later and Cache number 1 was located in one of the local parks in a great natural hiding place and Harry was the one that found it. We'd never geocached before so it was fun to find the cache and explore its contents. Surprisingly (to us) it had been accessed only a couple of days before.


Another km or so on the bike and we are somewhere near cache number 2. A micro cache. Doesn't seem likely that we'll find it in the undergrowth in the area.


But after about 10 minutes or so of looking Harry spots the tiny container and its contents. So back on the bike and we head from the parks to the beach. The GPS indicates that it isn't on the road near the beach but near the beach itself so we head down the cliff and backtrack along the beach path only to find  the GPS says its somewhere between the beach and the road, i.e. somewhere up the cliff. So we explore and finally find container number three hidden away.


So a great bike ride and successful treasure hunt.

P.S. Sorry its been ages since we updated but now Blogger have fixed their tools we can do this more often.
