Introduction to Geo-caching - Sat, 7 Dec 2013 - 12:00 to 13:30

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 created a new Geo-caching Trail in the Ochils Woodland Park. To help you get started we are hosting a series of Introduction to Geo-caching sessions during 2013. 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.
