Anyone on for setting up a geocaching thread on here?
For those that dont know, the idea is that someone goes and leaves something in a hidden but nice location somewhere. The place should be interesting, picturesque or whatever, then they go onto the forum and post the GPS coordinates of the article. Then someone else goes and searches for and picks up the item that was left, takes it and replaces it with something else interesting and leaves it somewhere else, and posts the GPS coordinates of the location they left it in, and it goes on like that. At least thats my understanding of it anyway.
Because of the nature of our club here, I think we should limit the articles to things useful or in someway related to motoring, such as anything from a model car to an oil change kit but not some piece of junk thats of no use or interest to anybody. That way, its a nice surprise each time someone gets there and theyve gotten something for what they've given. The item must be fairly well hiden and inconspicuous so as not to get picked up by some passer by or whatever, and should be protected from the elements.
I think it could be fun. Ive heard a few people mention it so if anyone is interested, when I get back I'll get a tupperware container and pop something in it and come back with the GPS coordinates. Any interest?
