Is some thing I have been reading about and would like to try, I think it would be great fun.

“Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the Internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.”

Its quite a new thing ,only starting in May 2000, you can read about its History here

Sounds a bit like a treasure hunt using your GPS , basically you get the coordinates from the web and then go and find the cache.

Tips on finding your first cache

The rules are simple.
