Sorry I haven’t blogged ____ a while. I’ve been a bit busy lately. You’ll find ____ why … But first of all, have you ever heard of Geocaching? It’s a kind of treasure-hunting game that uses a GPS device to find small containers called geocaches. These are hidden all ____ the world – but usually people start with geocaches that are close ____ their home. The great thing about Geocaching is that it leads you to some beautiful and amazing places that you ____ didn’t know about. I can definitely recommend it. ____ I should warn you that it’s also seriously addictive! So how does it work, exactly? Well, the first step is to go to the Geocaching website or ____ the geocaching app onto your phone. Then you choose a geocache and you start looking. People have been ____ geocaches for more than ten years, so there are literally millions of them around the world. There are sure to be some ____ your home, wherever you live. (There are geocaches across all seven continents, ____ Antarctica!) Some are very hard to find. They may be hidden ____ a river, up a tree or even ____ the ground. Geocaching is a quite a new game: it began around the year 2000. ____, similar games did exist in the past. For ____, In the middle of the 19th century, a game called ‘letterboxing’ became popular in the south of England. People who enjoyed walking in the countryside began to hide boxes all ____ the route. These boxes contained postcards addressed to themselves. When other walkers found a box, they collected the cards and posted them. This often took many weeks, ____ the boxes were often hidden in remote places, not ____ the paths. In Geocaching, the boxes don’t contain postcards. They ____ a logbook, where the person who finds it can write their name and the date. As well ____ the logbook, geocaches often contain a toy or gift. You are welcome to take this, provided you ____ it with something you have brought with you. The basic game just involves finding a geocache and ____ it online and in the logbook. However, there are lots of variations. For example, there are multi-cache challenges, ____ each cache contains the co-ordinates for the next cache, until you ____ the final cache containing the logbook. There are ____ ‘travelling caches’, where each person who finds the cache then hides it in a different location and updates the information ____ the website. And there are ‘webcam caches’. When you do these, you don’t find a physical container or logbook; you find a public webcam and then ____ an image of yourself on the webcam as ____ that you have been successful. I’ve tried all of these types, and ____, I’ve enjoyed the multi-cache challenges the most. Geocaching is an ____ you can do alone or, like me, with a ____ of friends. But there are also Geocaching events where you can get together with hundreds of other fans of the game. For example, the ‘Fumble after Dark’ event is ____ every November in Sweden and sounds ____ great fun. About a thousand geocachers get together for a day of talks and presentations about geocaching. And then they head ____ into the darkness for some night-time adventures! I’ve been enjoying my Geocaching experiences so much that I’m seriously thinking about going to ‘Fumble after Dark’ next year. So why ____ you get into Geocaching too, and I might see you there! Bye for now!! Claudia
