Geocaching

Happy new year to you all!
I had the day off today so went to do a couple of local Geocaches that I had not ticked off yet. The first was in Ilston Woods on Gower and the second on Cefn Bryn, also on Gower. I have my own cache hidden on Gower, Radar Love.
For those of you that have never tried Geocaching, take a look at the site, tap in your postcode and be prepared to be amazed by the number of caches within a few miles of your home. The site gives you a set of co-ord's for you to enter into your GPS and off you go.
A cache can be many things, but it is usually a Tupperware box hidden in the countryside containing little gifts and a log book for you to record your visit. You can take a little gift with you and swap if you fancy something (great for getting your kids into the countryside as it is a sort of hi-tec treasure hunt).
I like geocaching as it takes you to some great places. When we went to the Lakes the summer before last, I entered half a dozen caches into my Garmin before we left and they were the basis of our 'family' walks. Just the job when you don't want a full on hill day but just a lungful of fresh air and some exercise!

If you have a GPS, give it a go, especially if you have kiddies.
