Having gotten back into the Big Finish monthly range of audios, I enjoy the emerging sub genre of “Ianto interacts with an unlikely member of team Torchwood he hasn’t spent much time with...and is a FUCKING NERD.”

Craziest thing happened, we were out checking cameras and stumbled upon this geocache! Hidden quite well, we managed to find it and be the first ones to add names on the list! Tell us about your crazy finds? #geocaching #geocachingadventures @geocahing #found (at Island Park, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvj7ujl5nv/?igshid=1bf9g6cc7se9c

We rented a boat for the day on Seneca Lake, New York part of the finger lakes. We got an intertube to play around on, I managed to stand up on it. We swam to find a boat in only geocache. Dana, Krystals mom, saw the geocache from the boat.  Finally back at it making some smileys and getting finds. In the next video we go around the Buffalo, NY area to some disc golf courses.

federal ban and problems with the police
federal ban and problems with the police
http://www.torontogeocaching.com/2011/10/11/ministry-of-transportation-bans-geocaches-in-bc/ Ministry of Transportation Bans Geocaches
Here’s a disturbing new development for geocaching in Canada. The Ministry of Transportation has banned geocaching on their property. That’s all highways, roads, rest stops, guardrails and more.  Anything posted within 100 metres of a road, or MoT structure is going to be declined by the reviewers for the time being. This one’s going to affect a LOT of geocaches in British Columbia. Now the argument could be made that micros along roadways aren’t the top of the quality scale but this does affect more than the roadside power trails. 100 metres extends a fair amount into most parks and private properties too. This wipes out the concept of hiding a cache on your own property if you live in a typical suburban lot, as your entire property is usually within 100 metres of the road in front of your house. The loss of the “highway rest stop” cache is also a painful one as many geocachers will use the rest stops with caches to break up a long trip.
http://centralvirginiageocaching.com/2012/07/10/vdot-answers-a-few-questions-about-the-ban/ VDOT answers a few questions about the ban
Virginia Administrative Code 24 VAC 30-50-10 provides that the ground and other objects are not to be disturbed. Safety Rest Areas are a component of Virginia’s transportation infrastructure and exist to serve interstate travelers by offering safe, convenient, places to rest.  Unmonitored excavation can cause damage to grounds, utilities, and create trip/fall hazards at these high visitation pedestrian facilities.  As interstate facilities Safety Rest Areas were not purposed to allow the public to dig or abandon property on-site. At this time VDOT does not intend to enable geocaching activities at Safety Rest Areas.
http://beta.slashdot.org/story/154384 Geocaching Shuts Down British Town
DaveAtWorkAnnoyingly writes "Many geocachers will be thinking twice when planting their treasure in an urban space as one geocacher found out in England after the police cordoned off the center of a small West Yorkshire town and the Bomb Squad was called in. From the article: 'It was a normal busy Friday morning in the small West Yorkshire market town of Wetherby when someone working in a cafe spotted a man acting a bit suspiciously on the street. He appeared to have a small plastic box in his hand and after fiddling with the container he bent down and hid it under a flower box standing on the pavement. He then walked off, talking to somebody on his phone.'"

Security alert over treasure hunt The wacky world of geocaching Geocaching in North Yorkshire
It was a normal busy Friday morning in the small West Yorkshire market town of Wetherby when someone working in a cafe spotted a man acting a bit suspiciously on the street. He appeared to have a small plastic box in his hand and after fiddling with the container he bent down and hid it under a flower box standing on the pavement. He then walked off, talking to somebody on his phone. Karen Brittain, whose cafe door is just a few feet from where the container was left on 1 July, was alarmed by the man's behaviour and called the police, who then sealed off the area. She said: "We were closed down for several hours and it was a disaster for us really, because we had been very busy that morning and it was a beautiful day and we probably would have been very busy." A unit from the Royal Logistic Corps at Catterick Garrison were called. They moved the planter to expose the box and sent in a robot to carry out a controlled explosion. Suspicious device Shops in the area were closed for nearly three hours and business owners say they collectively lost thousands of pounds. Afterwards the remains of the plastic box were left scattered across the pavement. But it was not a bomb, the suspicious device was a geocache. police cordon in Wetherby Businesses were evacuated after police cordoned off an area of Wetherby Geocaching is an internet-based treasure hunt. Here in the UK it has grown in popularity over the last decade and tens of thousands of people are involved. The concept is a simple one. Geocachers leave a container, which can vary greatly in size, at a location of their choice. They then put the exact co-ordinates of their box on the geocache website. The cache is nearly always well hidden and can take a bit of cunning to find. It's all part of the challenge, but it's also why the centre of Wetherby was brought to a standstill. The events in West Yorkshire have now made the police and the geocaching community pause for thought. Some online forums are now questioning whether caches should be left in urban areas. “Start Quote    In placing the caches, what I would say is, please apply some common sense to where you put them” Ch Insp Mick Hunter West Yorkshire Police Ch Insp Mick Hunter, who was in charge of the response last Friday, said: "Police don't want to spoil people's fun and if people want to geocache then that's great. "But in placing the caches, what I would say is, please apply some common sense to where you put them." He also questions putting caches in urban areas. "If you feel as though you have to do that, then perhaps contact the police, let us know where it is, give us a description and perhaps a picture and a contact number would be very useful." But what do geocachers think? Dave Palmer, a prolific geocacher, believes there is still a problem with many people being unaware of the activity. "We still need to get the information out to police officers. Maybe we need to get to chief police officer level and get the information disseminated down to a forcewide level in each area," he said.
Palmer - brainless idiot if he thinks that the police must follow its caches
http://www.vvdailypress.com/articles/oro-30439-shooting-victorville.html Oro Grande man convicted of shooting at geocachers Jury acquits him of injuring 13-year-old boy October 03, 2011 12:08 PM VICTORVILLE • An Oro Grande man was convicted of shooting at people participating in a high-tech treasure hunting game called geocaching on his property. After a day of deliberation, a jury found 71-year-old Manuel Soria Heim guilty Friday afternoon of assaulting two male adult victims with a gun. He was initially charged with shooting at all four geocachers, including a 13-year-old boy who was injured in the leg. But the jury acquitted Heim of shooting at the injured teen and another boy. Jurors weren’t available to clarify why they acquitted him on the charge related to the only person injured in the incident. On July 15, the four geocachers drove from Simi Valley to the High Desert. Participants in the game go online to find coordinates and then use a GPS device to find waterproof containers holding a logbook, in which the players sign their code names after each discovery. The geocachers were hiking on the hill off National Trails Highway near Academy Avenue in Oro Grande looking for several containers hidden there. When they were opening one of the containers, they heard a voice from the foot of the hill telling them they were on private property and to get out, Deputy District Attorney Carrie Halgrimson said. The victims turned back and began walking back up the hill, but Heim fired at them, Halgrimson said. Deputy Public Defender Luke Byward, Heim’s attorney, told jurors the defendant had fired the gun out of the fear that the geocachers were the same people who had robbed Heim about six weeks prior to the incident. Byward said drug addicts had constantly been trespassing on Heim’s property. Heim claimed he saw several people crawling down the rock on his 15-acre property and told them to leave when they were about 230 feet away from him, but they didn’t listen. The defendant shot into the air and at the rocks to scare them away, but a bullet ricocheted and struck the boy, Byward said. The injured boy testified he can lift his leg now but is still limping and feels pain in his leg when he walks. Heim is scheduled to return for sentencing Nov. 1. A judge can sentence him anywhere from seven years and four months to 16 years and four months in prison, or put him on probation. USA, October 4, 2011. It is reported that a jury found 71-year-old Manuel Soria Heim guilty to assaulting 2 people

Идиоты от геокешинга
Геокешинг - это механизм увеличения продаж навигаторов, игра, которая встроена в навигаторы. Написано про ГК много, но при этом сознательно умалчивается опасность игры.
Комментарии с тайника "Лосиный остров" [MS/636] – «Граждане! Заворачивайтесь в фольгу! :) Ну или в энцефалитку. ТАКОГО количества оленьих клещей я не видела (и не ощущала на себе) никогда в жизни. Стоило нам свернуть с тропинки и углубиться в лес - начался дождь (я не преувеличиваю) из оленьих клещей. Идешь, а вокруг звук, как от дождя, только вместо капель - клещи. Мы, сделав героические лица, поискали кэш минут 10, но потом, сотрясая лес проклятиями, спешно ретировались. Эти твари были везде - под кепками и банданами, гроздьями на спинах (особенно темного джемпера), в рюкзаках и, пардон, лифчиках.»
Ещё - Взяли тайник 4 сентября вместе с Joh3:16. Сосну наши быстро, НО пока лазили по бурелому насажали на себя клещей. Вечер 5 сентября провели в незабываемой атмосфере калужского травмпункта в очер��ди на снятие этих самых клещей :-(
Нападение собаки - Заброшенный лагерь "Белое озеро" [MS/3196] Lappi (27.04.2014 23:07:20) Безмятежная заброшенность лагеря была подвергнута определенному сомнению когда собак на привязи пытался попробовать мою ногу на вкус (не безуспешно).
Подцепили в рукав гадюку - Щедринский тайничок [MS/2098] Пишет Истома – «Мы уже бывали на этом тайнике и не смогли обнаружить закладку. Поэтому было решено обязательно вернуться сюда еще раз. о дороге я ощутила какой-то странный холодок на левой руке. "Насекомус или червяк," - решила я и интенсивно потрясла рукав. Зря я это сделала - от локтя до запястья сразу разлилась боль, а что-то холодное скользнуло вниз по руке. Не придав значения этому "холодку" я стала упрямо перетряхивать рукав. Ничего. Решив, что это точно насекомус, я со спокойной душой уселась в машину. Завернутый рукав выполнил роль жгута и это было ошибкой. По дороге у меня началось онемение руки, боль в лимфатических узлах, сердце и какое-то странное набухание места укуса. Поглядев на укус я решила: "Да меня даже два насекомуса цапнули! Потому и так больно!" Через день я все же добралась до врача, который глядя на меня, как на ненормальную, порадовал, что меня, судя по симптомам, цапнул гадючонок!»
Жесть на тайнике Шатур [TR/106] (там же один из фанатов сломал ногу, но комментарии стерты) Twilight Guardian (15.05.2012 20:30:41) «Один из мостиков подо мной сломался и я упал в омут. Под воду ушел с головой. Минус: рация, фотоаппарат и телефон. подробнее - http://project4x4.livejournal.com/32634.html «Переходя третий мост, доска подомной предательски хрустнула, и я не успел опомниться, как уже нырнул в омут с головой. Реальная глубина, наверное, метра три, никак не меньше. Сезон купания еще открывать рано. В воде моментально свело все мышцы от холода. У меня было ощущение, что кто-то меня постоянно тянет на дно. По словам моего друга, несколько раз я выныр��вал, но тут же неведомая сила затягивала меня обратно. Так продолжалось, пока я не смог, наконец, схватиться за бревна моста и вылезти из воды. Итог моего заплыва: утонувшая в омуте рация и залитые телефон и фотоаппарат.»
Игрок получил ожог  на тайнике Никольская церковь [TR/138]. Пишет  Lolick (30.06.2006 10:56:20) «Попытались взять этот тайник 24.06.06. Попытка оказалась КРАЙНЕ НЕУДАЧНОЙ, поэтому спешим ПРЕДУПРЕДИТЬ: похоже, что контейнер заложен в зарослях борщевика - трава такая - зонтики многометровые, ЯДОВИТАЯ!!!. Знали, что ядовитая, но думали, что это яд опасен тем, кто решит покушать это растение. ОШИБАЛИСЬ! :((( Итог похода за этим тайником - множественные ОЖОГИ 2 и 3 (!!!) степени! Это те, которые с волдярями и чуть ли не до мяса!! :((( Пострадали руки, ноги, шея... - все открытые части тела (а т.к. была жара, то открыто было по максимуму) :( Поэтому некоторые (я то есть) уже неделю как на работу ходить не могут и выглядят как человек-невидимка (в бинтах с головы до ног), и из дома выбираются исключительно в качестве пассажира на машине и исключительнок хирургу. Заживать все это будет долго и непросто. :( А т.к. ожог химический, то новые очаги вылазят постепенно и первые волдыри появились только к вечеру третьего дня после прогулки.»
ощущение, что некоторые авторы специально думают, как бы покалечить игроков - Тайник Московский парк "Дубки" [TR/13459] (автор - Dionisiy) Steelrat (20.05.2013 20:26:17) Сегодня попробовали этот тайник на вкус. Это пипец. Воды по пояс народу много но это то ладно. На дне стекла и арматура. Ногу поранил хорошо(((.
Этот же идиот Dionisiy (он же Денис),  делает место своего тайника Павильон "Конопля" на ВВЦ [MS/14925] следующим - "Вам надо принять весьма необычную позу. Стоите на коленях, наклоняетесь вперёд, касаетесь головой земли, при этом голову поворачиваете так, чтобы смотреть вверх." Модератор пропускает тайник на сайт. Чего уж тут удивляться несчастным случаям.

Некролог от мужа погибшей семьи - Пользователь: goondel Дата: 09 Март 2011 09:49 «Геокешинг занимал в их жизни огромное место. С появлением геокешинга наконец-то непонятное желание выбраться из города обрело цель и смысл. Оксана … писала кандидатскую по особенностям перевода библии… В тот день мы возвращались от наших друзей из другого города. Планировали там заложить большой пошаговый тайник. Заехали на один из будущих шагов, потом обсуждали где и как заложить финальную закладку. А потом они уснули, и больше не проснулись. Нашу машину на ровной прямой дороге вынесло на встречку. В сводке ГИБДД сухо сказано: не справился с управлением, совершил выезд на встречную полосу. Меня пару дней назад выписали из больницы, пока хожу на костылях.»
Не занимался бы goondel такой ерундой, как геокешинг, имел бы целую семью. А так пару мест на кладбище отайничил.
http://www.ve-trc.ru/news/v-cheljabinske-geopiraty-objavili-vojjnu-geokesheram/ Евгений Комольцев: «Был один случай, правда, не со мной, а с другими геокэшерами. Не совсем смешной, но оригинальный. Они когда искали тайник, случайно нашли замороженное тело человека. Соответственно, полицию вызвали и так далее».
http://zpravy.idnes.cz/mladik-zemrel-kvuli-internetove-hre-d7q-/krimi.aspx?c=A051219_223349_krimi_a d Сообщают из Чехии - погиб 18-летний ��еокэшер, который в поисках клада (содержащего авторучку, свечку, монетку в две кроны и почтовую открытку) сорвался с отвесного склона и разбился. Насмерть. «20 Декабря 2005 года со склона холма недалеко от Праги упал восемнадцатилетний Лука Т. Полиция показывает, что причиной трагедии был геокешинг. Лука искал коробку, содержащую "сокровище". Полиция конфисковала коробку. Тело Лука было найдено в субботу днем.»
20 декабря 2011 сообщают – RIP Willimax. 21-летний геокешер из Дрездена Willi H. при попытке взять свой 4900-й тайник Tanzstunde (http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC37G4T_tanzstunde) упал с моста в Pirna и разбился. Студент Вилли на протяжении шести лет играл в геокэшинг. При поисках клада, представляющего собой небольшую трубку на мосту возле конструкции B172, он упал с высоты шесть метров. На месте происшествия полиция обнаружила фонарик, сотовый телефон, ключи от машины и GPS-устройство. Труп был обнаружен прохожими в четверг около 13.30 в русле реки. Тело лежало под конструкциями централизованного теплоснабжения моста. Пожарные Pirna достали труп. По версии прокурора Эндрю Ферон, Вилли разбился потому, что на пешеходном мосту отсутствовала решетка.
США, 4 октября 2011 года. Сообщается, что присяжные признали 71-летнего Manuel Soria Heim виновным в нападении на 2 человек. Первоначально Мануэль Сория Хайм был обвинен в стрельбе на четырех Geocachers, в том числе 13-летнего мальчика, который был ранен им в ногу. В суде Мануэль показал, что он стрелял в Geocachers, которые были на расстоянии около 230 метров от него и находились на его частной территории, потому что он был ограблен наркоманами за несколько недель до этого. Геокешеры же очутились на его холме в поисках тайника Jack Palance (GC2YBNZ) (категория Premium Member) в Oro Grande, на холме рядом с National Trails Highway возле Academy Avenue. Когда они открывали контейнер-кэш, они услышали голос деда от подножия холма, сообщавший, что они на частной территории. Хайм утверждал, что он видел несколько человек, сползающих вниз со скалы на его 15-акровой территории и сказал им уходить, когда они были на расстоянии около 230 метров от него, но они не слушали. Обвиняемый выстрелил в воздух и потом по скалам, чтобы отпугнуть вторгшихся людей, но пуля рикошетом попала в мальчика. Пострадавший мальчик свидетельствовал, что  он ��о сих пор хромает и чувствует боль в ноге, когда он ходит. Судья во вторник приговорил дедулю Мануэля к семи годам и четырем месяцам лишения свободы за стрельбу по двум взрослым мужчинам, при этом суд присяжных оправдал Heim по пункту обвинения в стрельбе в двух других членов группы, в том числе в 13-летнего мальчика, раненого в ногу. Прокурор спросил Хайма - "если ваша жизнь была в опасности, зачем было делать предупредительный выстрел?".  То есть из-за скудоумного, заложившего тайник на частной территории, пострадал посторонний мальчик и сел в тюрьму 71-летний старикан, понятия не имевший ни о каком геокешинге. На зарубежных форумах мнения свелись к следующим моментам: 1. В правилах ГК написано - не закладывать тайники на охраняемых и частных территориях – всё равно закладывают (не только зарубежные, но и россиянские геокакеры этим страдают). 2. Деду на расстоянии 230 метров не следовало открывать стрельбу, если он не разглядел в оптику наличие винтовок у геокакеров, конечно. Эффективные переговоры на такой дистанции тоже невозможны, это надо в рупор орать. 3. Деду не надо было делать предупредительный выстрел, ну или сказать в суде, что сперва промахнулся. 4. Адвокат у деда - гавно. 5. Деду дали слишком большой срок, как за убийство нескольких человек. Поэтому деду следовало  стрелять на поражение по всем геокешерам.
http://www.wwaytv3.com/2013/05/16/kwesi-sample-remembered-after-disappearing-tuesday 16 мая 2013 года сообщают – утонул 21-летний геокешер Kwesi Sample, который с товарищами плыл к острову Holden Beach (Северная Каролина), на котором находится тайник американской игры. Внезапно он ушел под воду, а два товарища не смогли ему помочь. Утонул, так и не добравшись до тайничка.
Геокешер мог поиграть в генерала Карбышева и замерзнуть. http://community.comstar.ru/number_detail.asp?aid=99 «Д.Коровин: Геокэшинг, конечно, не экстремальный вид спорта, но случаи бывают всякие. Вот, например, минувшей зимой: сижу я как-то в гараже, готовлю свой внедорожник к выходным. Звонок на мобильный. Один из игроков сообщает, что наш геокэшер заблудился в лесу и, судя по всему, находится километрах в десяти от ближайшего населенного пункта. К тому же у парня садится телефон, GPS, и уже нет сил идти. За бортом при этом мину�� двадцать. Ясно, что человека надо спасать. Но как? Джип разобран, шансов проехать в снегу на Audi немного. И времени в обрез: уже четыре часа пополудни, стремительно темнеет, еще немного - и наш игрок вообще перестанет ориентироваться в лесу. Пытаемся связаться с местными, теми, кто поближе к деревне живет, - абоненты недоступны. Что делать? Сажусь в Audi, еду. В пути связываюсь с «заблудшим». У него мобильный на последнем издыхании, он только и успевает сказать что-то типа: «прохожу метров двести, ложусь на снег, отдыхаю десять минут, встаю - и еще двести метров, устал очень...», и телефон вырубился. Чувствуется, что человек в панике. Я уже выбрался за МКАД, еду на максимуме, но проселочная дорога узка, занесена снегом. Ну, думаю, сейчас встану, и меня еще вытаскивать придется. Звоню друзьям, у которых полноприводные машины, прошу: ребята, подстрахуйте, давайте к нам. Они, конечно, готовы выехать на подмогу, но, как назло, все далеко - за пять минут не добраться. Адреналина, скажу вам, в такой ситуации более чем достаточно! Жутковато, если попытаться представить, чем все это может закончиться! Но страшнее всего, наверное, было фермеру, который и был «ближайшим населенным пунктом». Когда я нагрянул на Audi, он как-то напрягся, а тут еще друзья, которым я звонил, на джипах подтянулись. Фермер перепугался до полусмерти: «Ну все, бандиты!» А я ему еще сдуру и говорю: «Да нет, мы не бандиты, мы геокэшеры». Он вообще в ужасе: «Это еще что такое?!» - «Ну, туристы, - говорю, - туристы, товарищ у нас здесь заблудился». И тут как раз этот товарищ из леса вышел... Мы его сначала услышали: дзынь-дзынь-дзынь... Брюки у парня по колено просто обледенели.»
комментарий от жертвы - Максим Мороз 29.01.2006 14:08:15 с тайника «Царство Зверя хаоса [MS/818]» - «В 12:10 вышел в точку, вычисленную по информации полученной у храма и родника. Тут начались трудности. Не уверен, что там ездят машины зимой. Снега минимум по колено. Часто проваливаюсь в колею почти по пояс. Деревья нависают над просекой. Под некоторыми пролезаешь, над другими перешагивать приходится. Так прошел километр (больше часа потратил). Потом мою просеку пересекла перпендикулярно другая, со следами иногда проезжающих машин, эти машины сворачивали и на мою просеку, потому идти стало сильно легче. Тайник нашел ровно в 14:00. … Тут я совершил главную ошибку - решил пойти обратно не той дорогой, которой пришел к тайнику (она мне показалась излишне сложной), а севернее. Т.е. прошел пару сотен метров на запад, вышел на более-менее нормальную просеку и бодренько зашагал на север. В 15:00 был на повороте на перпендикулярную просеку, по которой мне уже надо было идти на восток. Эта просека была такая же, как самая первая. Одинокий лыжник проехал по ней хрен знает когда. Еще пеший был примерно тогда же. Куча завалов на просеке, Идешь по колено и точно так же проваливаешься по пояс. И идти больше некуда, ближайшее жилье именно в той стороне, дорог нет. В 15:45 понял, что у меня серьезные проблемы. Я чертовски устал - через каждые 10 метров отдыхаю, либо просто стоя в снегу, либо, упав в снег, лежа. Через час начнет темнеть, а я по этой чертовой просеке из почти 3 километров прошел только 1, а ведь после просеки идти еще и идти. Позвонил домой, попросил жену зайти на geocaching.ru, найти телефон Gek Finn-а. Позвонил Гене, рассказал ситуацию, передал мои текущие координаты и пополз дальше на восток. КПК+GPS отработав положенные 6,5 часов довели зарядку до 20%, так что я выключил КПК и периодически его включал, чтобы посмотреть, как мало я пока еще прошел. Огромное спасибо Гене и Свете (LSDinka) за организацию спасательной опреации. Они обзвонили кучу геокешеров, нашли тех, кто был поближе и смог приехать. Решили с Геной, что мне надо двигаться дальше по просеке, а потом выйти к деревне Залуги. Выехали на помощь мне 2 машины: Дима Коровин и Енот с Елочкой. В 17:30 вывела меня просека на поляну, по которой мне надо было пройти метров 700 до деревне Залуги (само собой, по колено в снегу, чрез какие-то ручьи, канавы). Да, хорошо, что я записал себе на КПК спутниковую карту МО, на ней четко было видно, как идет просека. Если бы у меня были только ГШ километровки, я бы поперся через лес в деревню. Уже стемнело, но с��ет рассеяный с неба был, луна, наверное, светила. В деревню пришел где-то в 18:10. Шел по картам, GPS и компасу. Залуги - скорее дачный поселок, а не деревня. Только один дом зимой жилой. В 18:30 приехал Дима. Спасибо тебе, Дима. Отвез меня в загородный дом, где живут его родители. Там меня чаем/коньяком напоили, дали сухие штаны, носки и валенки :). Накормили. Потом к нам присоединились Енот и Елочка с маленьким геокешером :) Спасибо вам, ребята, за помощь. Потом Дима отвез меня до самого меня домой.»
Если вместо мозгов - стрелка навигатора, зачем вообще таким особям появляться на свет?

Phones and Phone Boxes
Yesterday, when Mr L and Nell hoofed it to Dalbeattie, they had an incident. Having met somebody from the site, they were nattering when along came a couple of cyclists. She had met with an accident, he seemed shocked and unable to cope very well. Mr L  assessed the situation rapidly and said “She needs an ambulance”. This was something that he reiterated several times over the course of the next…

Vamos explorar juntos?❤
Hoje trago-vos um post sobre uma actividade que eu gosto bastante! GEOCACHING! Geo-quê? … Geocaching!
O que é Geocaching?
O Geocaching é uma actividade que existe desde o inicio dos anos 2000. A primeira cache, feita por Dave Ulmer foi criada para celebrar a generalização da utilização do GPS para os cidadãos.  O objectivo é, através de coordenadas de GPS descobrir objectos (as chamadas CACHES) deixadas por outros utilizadores. Depois é interessante partilhar a experiência no site e registar a nossa visita.
Que tipos de Caches há?
Hoje em dia existem caches por todo o mundo, nos mais diversos locais e podem ir desde os tamanhos mais pequenos, chamadas as nano-caches, até aos desafios em cadeia onde o objectivo é dar a conhecer um determinada trilho pré-definido pelo utilizador. As que estão representadas a verde são caches tradicionais e as amarelas são multi-caches, que costumam conter desafios ou cadeias.
Nas caches mais pequenas normalmente só contêm o logbook onde a pessoa regista a data e uma pequena mensagem e depois posteriormente pode adicionar no site para ir completando o mapa. As caches maiores costumam conter objectos de troca em que a ideia é levar uma coisinha e deixar outra, ou então apenas deixar uma lembrança e não retirar nada. Deixo-vos aqui duas fotos de caches encontradas em Belém e em Setúbal, respectivamente.
Que formas de participação há nesta actividade?
Podes participar colocando uma cache ou então procurando as milhares de caches já espalhadas pelo país. (E quem diz país, diz mundo!) Também há a opção de ser voluntário e zelar pelas caches e pelo cumprimento das regras de colocação. Aqui deixo uma foto do meu mapa de Almada, onde está um smile nas caixas que já encontrei e registei no site.
Como se pode por uma Cache?
Por muito fácil que pareça, colocar uma cache dá bastante trabalho! É necessário escolher o local e obter as coordenadas de onde se vai colocar o “container” para o logbook. Convém ser algo desafiante e que possa dar alguma bagagem cultural ou visual ao geocacher. Escolher locais da nossa zona que queremos dar a conhecer pela sua beleza ou história é crucial. Ah! Claro! E convém escolher um local perto de onde estamos, ou que visitemos algumas vezes, pois é necessário fazer manutenção às caches e ir verificando se está tudo em ordem!
Como fazer Geocaching sem GPS?
Pois… Eu não tenho GPS e a forma que arranjei para encontrar as caches foi através dos Hints dados no site, das fotografias referência e da morada da cache. É mais complicado sem GPS e muito mais limitador. Existem caches que não consigo fazer, como os desafios e as multi-caches mas continua a ser divertido! A aplicação do Geocaching para o telemóvel tem a opção do GPS mas ainda não tive oportunidade de a experimentar!
Tive conhecimento desta actividade estava no meu oitavo ano… ou seja, à 9 anos, mas só em 2013 comecei a interessar-me e decidi criar conta no site. Por norma só costumo fazer geocaching quando está mais calor e acabo por estar parada durante algum tempo mas existem montes de sítios para descobrir e explorar! Ao todo registei no site 33 caches, como podem ver na minha imagem do mapa, mas encontrei mais umas quantas em Portugal.
Aconselho o geocaching a todos aqueles que gostam de explorar novos sítios (ou explorar de forma diferente os sítios já conhecidos) e a todos aqueles que procurar um momento bem passado com a família, com os amigos ou com aquela pessoa especial. No site encontram todas as informações que precisam, desde mapa com coordenadas, fotos e até sinalética que indica se a caches é apropriada para famílias com crianças e se está disponível 24/7. (Como podem ver nesta imagem, nos símbolos pretos.) E não se esquecam de agradecer pela cache! OPC (Obrigado pela Cache) ou TFTC (Thanks for the Cache)!
Geocaching | Challenge Hoje explico-vos o que é Geocaching! Já experimentaram? Gostam? :) #geocaching #caches #OPC #TFTC #thankyougeocaching #explore #ilovegeocaching Vamos explorar juntos?❤ Hoje trago-vos um post sobre uma actividade que eu gosto bastante! GEOCACHING! Geo-quê?

Los 7 tesoros del verano
Los 7 tesoros del verano
Con la llegada del verano apetece salir a buscar tesoros. Si has oido bien, salir a buscar tesoros. Seguramente te estarás preguntando si recientemente he sufrido alguna insolación pero hasta donde yo sé de momento no he sufrido ninguna y mis constantes vitales parecen correctas. Es cierto que cuando uno habla de tesoros inmediatamente nos viene a la mente la imagen de un barco piratasurcando las…
