How do u do geocaching?

[Cheekychops84]

I've become a member and found some really local ones I'd like to take the kids to find but they say it's premium members only? Does that mean we have to pay? Also how do I put the co-ordinates in? Can I use I phone to do this with the kids?

not going to be too much help as I've only tagged along on someone else's hunts but...

you should be able to do it for free- click on play on their website, put your postcode in and then click on the name of the geocache for details. coordinates should come up in the info about the geocache.

Yes, you should be able to do with it your phone if you've got a smartphone which has gps on it. your phone won't be as accurate as a proper gps though so it might mean a bit more hunting about when you're in the right area.

you might have to do it more manually if you don't have premium membership i.e. copy the coordinates from the screen onto your phone instead of being able to transfer info. I don't know that though, am just guessing that might a difference with the paid membership??

Im having the same problem. All local ones are for premium membership only. Ive never dont this before, so am reluctant to spend money on something Im not sure about. Does anyone know why this is?
