found my first GEOCACHE : http://snipurl.com/32284. Ingenious location! I’d heard the word ‘geocache’ before, but wasn’t that sure what it was. In a nutshell, it’s Hi tech treasure hunting. After hearing a bit about it from a chap at work, a bit of a dig around that internet revealed it was something I’d probably quite like. A further dig revealed that there’s some purpose built software available for my new N95 8GB. If you know the scene on Aliens when Ripley is finding closing in on the Aliens.. well it’s like that – it automatically plugs in the longitude and latitude and radars you in. AS well as that there’s a built in compass, you can access the logs (the one I found had already had 56+ visitors) Fantastic! Amazed I’ve not done it before. I’m hooked. Harrogate has wht looks like about 20 odd geocaches – some of which are ‘micro’ – often a 35 mm film canister, others are larger – with some actual treasure (that you swap for some treasure of your own that you leave behind.)

The official website is here
The free N95 geocache navigator software is available here which an be linked to you geocache account (so it tracks all your finds and hides etc.)
If you’ve not got a gps phone (I think some of f the portable sat nav units work to some degree) there’s some by this company that start from £100 : garmin

Good show.
