Geocaching

"Geocaching is a pastime where participants using a GPS unit seek caches hidden by other players. The caches are listed (along with a more information) at www.geocaching.com "

That’s one definition. We prefer to think if it as the very best way to explore a new area while on holiday. Caches are often hidden in areas of historic interest or scenic beauty so there is no better way to discover the best an area has to offer than to download the local caches into your handheld GPS and head out for the day. There are over a million caches hidden worldwide and more being added every day so there are bound to be some near you wherever you are. There are currently 265 caches within 10 miles of Raith Farm
