Did you know there are nine locations with ‘hidden treasure’ on the island?
It’s all part of a ‘secret’ worldwide hobby called geocaching. Geocaching is the real-world treasure hunt that's happening right now, all around you.
There are over 2 million geocaches hidden around the world and 6 million Geocachers. It is free and only requires a GPS or Smartphone and access to a computer with internet access. It’s a great activity to do if you enjoy walking and exploring or as a family outing.
Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
In order to join in you need to follow these steps:-
Register for free basic membership on
www.geocaching.com
Visit the hide and seek cache page. Enter your location and choose any geocache from the list and click on the name.
Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device and then use your GPS device to assist you in finding the hidden geocache.
Once discovered just sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location.
You can then share your geocaching stories and photos online.
Give it a try I promise you’ll see some of the most beautiful places on the island.
