Do you fancy yourself as a treasure hunter or do you enjoy getting out and around to interesting places? If so, then Geocaching a relatively new pastime may be just the thing for you.

In a nutshell, a cache (waterproof) is left somewhere and then the coordinates are posted on the Internet. Geocachers find the location using a handheld GPS system, and might make an entry in a provided log book or exchange a small treasure with what is in the cache already.
