Anyone do any of this?
I found out about it through a friend the other day. Basically you log on to the website, search for some local Caches and it will give you Lat/Long coordinates, then using a sat nav go out and find it. Inside is usually a note pad and some other bits, on a take something and leave something basis (or just sign the book).
I did one whilst i was on holiday visiting my friend the past week, and have found loads of local ones to me. There everywhere.

I do it sometimes. Found about 30 caches or so. I usually do it along side a dog walk or bike ride. It's good fun but you get some funny looks when you try and explain it to people!
