Day 17 Geocaching

Now this is something that I enjoy doing with my own children, you do need a smart phone and it's best if you have the geocaching app but it is so much fun. If you've never tried it, imagine a treasure hunt that covers the whole world but has little gifts everywhere, quite possibly within walking distance from your house. All you need to do is to go to the website, put in your postcode and a map will show you where to look for the nearest geocache.

The idea is that you find the cache (often a small plastic tub), sign in the book, take a little gift and leave a small treasure of your own for the next person. Once you get started you will be hooked! There's lots of variations too, such as 'trackers', these travel from cache to cache and their journey gets logged online so that you can see how far they go.

Try it out, there's loads just in Bristol and Bath city centres so you can make a whole day out of it and get to see some great sites too.

A successful find!
