Geocaching

Incorporating hobbies, computer games, Verm's Interesting Links and anything else you can think of excluding football and other spectator sports because these belong in the Sport section, but allowing sports you play yourself with your own body as that counts as a pastime.

I need to get back out again, I only managed to get out to check on my own during lockdown.

I am The_Sundance_Llama for geocaching purposes.

We’re going to Brownsea Island tomorrow. The boys said NO GEOCACHING so I laughed in their faces. Everything apart from the toilets is shut so there’s nothing else to do!

We finally got out for a Geocaching day today, 18 finds and 1 DNF. It was a circuit that was sort of set out like a clover leaf so you could cut it short if necessary. We did 2 out of 3 loops which was about right given how hot it was by the end.

I love all these routes set out to make a pattern. We don't have anything like that round here.

I got one today that I missed from an earlier walk, but only because I was passing, and it was an easy find.

Well done! I never see any new ones popping up round here. Can you set up notifications for them?

Yes you can but I’ve forgotten how to do it. I get an email when a traditional geocache pops up within a certain range. I keep meaning to add extra types.

Thank you. I'll have a look at the website.

We're meeting up with friends for a walk at the weekend, so I'm trying to find somewhere with an easy trail for the kids with some caches for me!

You can set it up in your profile but only if you have premium membership.

Do you remember that puzzle I couldn’t do? I thought it was something to do with runway marker beacons. Anyway, I gave in and asked for an extra hint. It turns out it’s based on Lilo and Stitch :lol: I had actually picked up all the information which would have pointed to this but as I’ve never seen it I didn’t recognise any of it.
