But fist of all, have you ever heard cof geocaching? its a kind of treasure-hunting game that ses a GPS device — usually your smartphone — to find small containers called geocaches. These are hidden all over the world - but usually people start with geocaches that are close to their home. The great thing about geocaching is that it leads you to some beautiful and amazing places that you probably wo dida't know about. | can definitely recommend it- it's healthy and it’s fun. Although | should wam you that it's also seriously addlctive! So hows does it work, exactly? Well, the fist step is to go to the geocaching website or download the geocaching app onto 1s your phone.

They may be hidden beside a river, pa tree, or even below the ground Geocaching is quite a new game: it began around the year 2000. However, similar games did exist in the past. For example, in the middle ofthe 19th century a game called letterboxing’ 2 became popular inthe south of England, People who enjoyed walking in the countryside began to hide boxes all along the route. These boxes contained postcards addressed to themselves. When other walkers found a box, they collected the cards and posted them. Tis often took many weeks, because ao the boxes were often hidden in remote places, not by the paths In geocaching, the boxes don't contain postcards. They contain 2a logbook, where the person who finds it can write their name {and the date. (They also record the find on the website.) As well as the logbook, geocaches often contain a toy or gift. You are welcome to take this, provided you replace it with something 3s you have brought with you ‘The basic game just involves finding a geocache and recording it online and in the lagbook. However there are lots of variations. For example, there are multi-cache challenges, where each cache Contains the co-ordinates forthe next cache, until you reach the 0 final cache containing the logbook. There are also ‘traveling ‘aches’, where each person who finds the cache then hides itn a different location and updates the information on the website, ‘And there are ‘webcam caches’. When you do these, you don't find a physical container or logbook: you finda public webcam «s and then capture an image of yourself on the webcam as proof that you have been successful. ve tried all ofthese types, and personaly I've enjoyed the mult-cache challenges the mos ‘Geocaching isan activity you can do alone o, ike me, with a couple of friends.
