Hello!

So, I started geocaching on 31st July 2011. Well, that is when I joined geocaching.com anyway, my first find was on the 5th August. Since then I have been hooked.

If you don't know what geocaching is, you'll get the best description by reading the above website, but in a nutshell is it what happens when you let geeks out :-D It is a real life treasure hunt using GPS equipment to locate the "treasure" (usually just a small container with a log to sign).

Doesn't sound that exciting does it?! I started it as a way to get me out for walks with my baby (Sam, or Small, Babski, Trouble...) as I'm not one of those people who can just go for walks for the sake of them. I quickly became addicted, along with my friend, neighbour and mum (also called Sam, just to confuse you!) to her own bundle of trouble (Maddy) . We try and persuade other mums to join us, but I think they do so with a slight air of bewilderment at our addiction!

I'm starting this blog a little late, as I have only just discovered that I can record our walks and upload the tracks onto google maps. The geek in me LOVES this and I wanted to document these adventures in one place. I might make a few posts about past trips and caches that I have particularly enjoyed when I have the time though!
