A Getting Started Guide: Geocaching

Let’s start by exploring what Geocaching is. Geocaching is a GPS assisted treasure hunting game. Millions of geocaches (containers) are hidden in specific locations all around the world, and can be hunted and found using a GPS enabled device to track their locations. Once you locate a Cache, you will find the surprise contents. Firstly you sign the logbook and then you choose to take the treasure and replace it with something else, for the next person to find, or to leave it behind, in the way it was before you found it.

A Getting Started Guide: Hiking

Hiking is a great sport because at its core, it is one of the most fundamental activities that humans are designed to do. Walking through a landscape is the simplest and purest way to experience any environment, and it’s exceptionally healthy for you as well. It is also for everybody. No person is ever too old or young, too unhealthy or too poor to go for a walk if they feel motivated and are able to do so.

Hiking on a Budget

There is nothing better than getting out and exploring the great British outdoors on a summer’s afternoon, or going all out and escaping for a long weekend.
