Imagine a pastime which can be enjoyed by the whole family and :

• gets you out into the fresh air.
• gets you walking either a long or a little way.
• introduces you to unusual/interesting/beautiful locations.
• often the kids will ask, "Can we go for a walk today?".
• is so much fun, you will want to go out for a walk too.

A Geocacher will go to a location which has usually some special interest or beauty. This is often one of their favorite places to visit.  At the location, they will hide a small waterproof box containg a few varied bits and pieces (usually of little value) a logbook and a pen or pencil.
* Using their GPS receiver, the cacher records the coordinates of their cache and returns home to log it's existence on a website.
* Another cacher will see the listing about the cache, enter the coordinates into their GPS receiver and go in search of it.
* When they find it, the finder may take something from the cache and leave something in return, and for posterity, enter a log in the logbook.
* When the seeker returns home, he/she should log on the website that they have found the cache and pass any comments they wish. These logs are important to the cache hider, it is part of their "reward" for hiding the cache. Of course, in order to keep the game going, the seekers must also hide some caches too.

A sense of fun and adventure, a GPS receiver, a group of people or family and some method of transport.
