First time Geocaching

I’ve been going crazy being stuck behind the computer or going shopping or the movies or similar without any real physical activity, so today I was determined to do something that would at least get me doing something remotely physical. My plan to go for a sail didn’t come to anything (it’s hard sometimes when you sail other peoples boats), so I decided I was going to go for a bush walk. Then after thinking about it for a little while I remembered an outdoors activity that I had checked out a while back called Geocaching, where you take a GPS and try to find a hidden cache of stuff (generally pretty useless).

Well today I decided I should give it a try so called my brother up and we went geocaching instead of for a bush walk.. well it was basically bush walking though with a bit more fun. We tried to find 4 different caches in the local area, the first three worked ok, though the last one was impossible. Will have to go back and try again sometime soon.

All in all, a good fun way to do something a little more exciting than a typical bushwalk.
