I doubt it. But here, you will find everything you\u00a0need to know before you start exploring the world of geocaching and everything\u00a0 it has to offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cGeocaching\u201d is a term you may have little to no knowledge of, but&nbsp;behind this intriguing name is an activity that caters to the niche and nuanced&nbsp;needs of almost anyone. The manager of the Geocaching Association of Great&nbsp;Britain, Chris Warren, says; \u201cGeocaching is many things to many people, there&nbsp;are niche activities for everyone, from people who like urban caching on the&nbsp;streets, to people who like climbing trees, wading\/swimming in wild water and soon.\u201d By the time you have finished reading this you will hopefully be equipped to&nbsp;discover the weird and wonderful world of Geocaching for yourself. Oh, and if youneeded help understanding what the geocaching community is like, those who&nbsp;don\u2019t know about caching are dubbed \u2018muggles\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Geocaching can be broken down into two parts, hiding and finding. The aim of\u00a0the game is to look for or alternatively hide \u2018treasure caches\u2019 whilst keeping a logof your finds and activity along the way.\u00a0Most caches can be found online via different platforms. Platforms provide\u00a0comment sections and \u2018favourites\u2019 selections to show your appreciation for the\u00a0caches creating a community aspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Members of the community will use these\u00a0logs to share the way they found the caches and others will simply track\u00a0progress creating streaks and sats. But more on the platforms later.\u00a0Before I tell you what geocaching actually is, let me give you It\u2019s origin.\u00a0We must start across the pond in the US and into a can of beans. Yes. A can of\u00a0beans. On 3 May 2000, GPS enthusiast Dave Ulmer hid a container in a woods in\u00a0Oregon and uploaded the coordinates to a GPS community online, with one rule,\u00a0\u201ctake some stuff, leave some stuff\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Within three days, two people found the\u00a0\u2018stash\u2019 and uploaded their experiences online. The first traded object in this\u00a0stash was a tin of beans, hence the \u2018original can of beans\u2019.\u00a0From that point forwards, people have been sharing the coordinates of their\u00a0caches and logging their finds online ever since. Albeit in a more organised way.\u00a0The activity wasn\u2019t named Geocaching until later that month on May 30, 2000 by Matt Stum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who else is doing it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">To get a grasp of the size of this sport, there are more than 3 million active&nbsp;geocaches worldwide, hidden in 191 countries and across all 7 continents. There&nbsp;is even one in space. Geocachers have recorded over 642 million \u201cfound it\u201d tags&nbsp;since the game began in 2000 and more than 800,000 people embark on&nbsp;geocaching adventures every week. Within the UK, over 69,000 people hid a geocache in 2022 and 83 million logs&nbsp;were posted. In the same year over 3.5 million adventures were completed and&nbsp;25,082 were made. On August 20 of 2022 there were 640,246 total finds.&nbsp;All the above stats are from Geocaching.com. Now that the statisticians are satisfied, there is much more to discover about this sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What am I looking for and how do I find it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The caches themselves come in all different shapes and sizes, from ammo cratesand lunchboxes half buried in the ground to film cartridges and magnets tucked\u00a0away under benches. Geocaches are filled with a variety of things, but they oftencomprise of a paper log, Geocoin\u2019s (put there by the maker of the cache), and\u00a0some medium to low value items such as books or toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The locations of geocaches are shown on a map and coordinates of the cache areprovided, just like a caf\u00e9 would appear on Google Maps. Hints and tips on how to\u00a0find the caches are often given in the descriptions below the location.\u00a0Finding caches is a lot of the fun and can be very rewarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">However, there is\u00a0nothing more frustrating than searching for a cache that isn\u2019t there.\u00a0Chris Galving, an avid geocacher, said, \u201cIf you are not a pro level finder its best\u00a0to stick to caches that have been found recently or maintained recently. nothing\u00a0worse than spending hours solving a puzzle only to find the final cache is\u00a0missing.\u201d\u00a0The sport itself isn\u2019t particularly extreme, but care should always be taken when\u00a0searching for caches, whether it\u2019s by busy roads or near bodies of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You\u00a0don\u2019t want to end up like Geoff May, from Cache the Line, \u201cA friend and I were\u00a0going to paddle out to an island for a geocache, we noticed there was a strip of\u00a0land we could use to get to it, we opted to hike around the reservoir. It took\u00a0MUCH longer than we anticipated and needed to wade across water anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We\u00a0found the geocache but returned via pool dingy. We ended up, two big guys,\u00a0kneeling uncomfortably, paddling with one mini paddle and a large piece of bark, across a reservoir, because we were too lazy to hike, hoping that nothing would\u00a0poke a hole in the hull! We saved maybe 10 minutes.\u201d Alternatively, if you\u2019re not careful where you\u2019re looking, you could end up with a\u00a0story like Connie Moulton, \u201cMy muggle and I were caching in a remote spot when we came across a young couple doing the deed, we silently snuck by them, and\u00a0they didn\u2019t even see us. Man we laughed so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/04\/geocaching-540336_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2310 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/04\/geocaching-540336_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/04\/geocaching-540336_640-480x318.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 640px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/424;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I hide one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">People create all kinds of crazy designs, ranging from fake rocks to hollow&nbsp;branches. However, often a simple lunch box wrapped in camo tape will do the&nbsp;job. It is completely up to the hider as to how they hide their caches. Provided it&nbsp;is in a safe spot. There are numerous categories of caches you can create; puzzle caches \u2013 finders must solve a puzzle to receive the coordinates, multi-stage&nbsp;caches where one cache leads to another, night caches which are multi-stage&nbsp;caches intended to be found at night, and moving caches whereby the finder&nbsp;moves the log to a new cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">To actually hide these caches you need to upload the exact coordinates of the\u00a0cache and creating a page for it on the platform you will use. Each platform has\u00a0its own requirements as to what you need to do before uploading a cache.\u00a0Afterwards, sit back and wait for the finders to seek it out (praying a muggle\u00a0doesn\u2019t stumble upon it). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The overarching advice from the platforms focuses on\u00a0ensuring container is weather appropriate and suitable for the location it will be\u00a0placed. It always helps to have a good number finds under your belt before you\u00a0start creating caches, just so you can gauge an idea for what works and what\u00a0doesn\u2019t.\u00a0Chris Galvin has almost 30 hides, he advises \u201cOnly hide a cache if it has a reason to earn a favourite point. Think about what sort of logs you will enjoy reading and the caches that will inspire them, I don&#8217;t want to read a hundred emails saying\u00a0thanks for cache I want paragraphs of mishaps and adventures that were had by\u00a0all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">What do I need to get started? There are several online platforms and apps you may wish to join before\u00a0venturing into the world of Geocaching. Some are free, and others work on a\u00a0freemium basis. You may find some are better suited for you than others.\u00a0Geocache.com, Adventure Lab and Opencache.UK are the more popular choices.\u00a0Each caters to different needs but are equally simple to start with.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">There is no set kit-list that you must abide by when geocaching. However, the\u00a0MOST important item is a handheld GPS navigation device. Don\u2019t be intimidated\u00a0by this, a smartphone with GPS connectivity will do just fine!\u00a0It should go without saying but it\u2019s smart to dress appropriately for where you\u2019ll\u00a0be searching for the caches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you\u2019re embarking on a geocaching adventure trail\u00a0in the lake district, you\u2019ll need a remarkably different set of kit than if you\u2019re\u00a0taking a detour on your commute home to search for some city caches. It is often useful to keep a pen and paper to hand if you wish to log your find physically in\u00a0the cache. If you intend on trading an item, it is always nice to leave something\u00a0niche but not too valuable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Personally, I leave a dog poo-bag. It\u2019s by no means\u00a0valuable but when I\u2019m caching I\u2019m doing it with my dog, and if were to find a free poo bag left for me in a cache, I\u2019d be delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">On some occasions you may be required to use a \u2018TOTT\u2019 or tool of the trade\u00a0(geocachers love a good abbreviation). These can be anything from a ladder to a\u00a0pair of tweezers. That doesn\u2019t mean you should be lugging around a ladder on\u00a0every trip. But having a pair of tweezers handy or being aware you may need a\u00a0tool before setting out may just save you from a world of hassle.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Avid Geocacher Jessica Styles will be the first to warn you, \u201cI once walked about\u00a0500m out of my to look for a geocache only to check the description and see that it requires a TOTT\u2026 the tool being a ladder!\u201d\u00a0If you take anything away from this, it should be that geocaching can suit\u00a0anyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">So, if you are the kind of person who loves the sound of trawling through tree stumps and muddy rocks for three hours just for the thrill of finding a poo-bag, this is for you.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever heard of Geocaching?
