    What is geocaching? Never heard of it, but so many of you think it is great fun. Something I might like to do with my 17 year old
    X-Box addict.

    We love geocaching. My husbands hates going out for a walk, add a few geocaches and he is there!

    Basically it is a treasure hunt. You download the co-ordinates where a cache is located. These can be anything from a teeny tiny pet tag cylinder to a great big ammo box - there is one in London which is a massive 30lt storage trunk! Sometimes you have to solve clues and sometimes you can just go straight to it.

    Many a good time had whilst out with the family geocaching!

    Yes film containers are hard to find but that is what the "container Store" is for. Heaven for geocachers. So many possibilities. They are brick and mortar stores and they also are online.
