Boxes at the ready
As usual when I get a little project into my head I go a little OTT. If you hadn’t noticed my ‘project’ lately has been geocaching. Every chance I get I’m either looking up caches on geocaching.com or out there in the hills searching for little plastic boxes or chasing that FTF (First to Find)!
It gives me an excuse to get some new toys, new walking boots, maybe a new coat, even a an iPod that I can use for paperless caching and a headtorch just in case I feel like making the most of a sleepness night. I have so far resisted the temptation of a nice new all singing all dancing GPS receiver, preferring instead to stick with my simple Yellow Etrex.
Of course, this being the middle of nowhere, the density of caches in the area was a little thin. That is all changing, Red kite (another local new geocacher) has been busy hiding caches and I’ve hidden a few too. We both have more planned, and I even have the boxes at the ready. The Aberystwyth area could soon become a geocaching hot spot.
Grab your GPS receivers, put on your waterproof kit and get out there in the hills…. There’s plastic boxes in them there hills!
