Introduction to Geo-caching - Sat, 14 Feb 2015 - 11:00 to 12:30
Family Friendly Event
What is Geo-caching? Geo-caching is an outdoor treasure hunting game - an excellent activity for families and individuals! The aim is to use GPS-enabled devices (or plain old paper if you prefer) to follow clues and discover caches (i.e. containers) hidden in the environment. However, not all caches are plastic boxes: some are very unusual and/or small, and they blend into the environment. So you'll have to look carefully!
How do I get started? The Ochils Landscape Partnership has two active Geo-caching Trails, one in Alva Glen and another in the Ochils Woodland Park. To help you get started we are hosting a series of Introduction to Geo-caching sessions during 2014/15. We will explain the main aims and show you how to use GPS via your GPS device or Smartphone to find our caches. Don't worry if you don't have a GPS device or Smartphone as we can provide a paper-based version of our trail so you can join in just the same.
