I've been looking at Geocaching as a new interest for the family, in particular as something we can do when camping. We live in North Wales so there seem to be lots of caches around (in fact there appears to be one on the other side of the street across from our house) and we do have a Garmin GPS which we probably need to update to help with this.
I haven't registered yet, and have been trying to figure out if all geocaching is registered on the one global site (looks like an American site) or whether there are other sites?
What else do I need to know or have? I believe that some caches have smalls gifts. What items would be suitable as a stash of gifts to keep in a bag to carry along?
Does anyone keep their own record of sites they have visited or is this information easily accessible from the global site? I was thinking the children could do diaries with photos. If so, any hints on what might be useful to record?
