About a year or so ago I discovered geocaching, an incredibly addictive, fun and adventurous world wide scavenger hunt using gps co-ordinates to find hidden "caches". All around the world are these hidden objects for you to find and log. Some are incredibly tiny and some are HUGE! Some even have bounty to trade (always replace something you take with something of equal value) which my eldest loves finding. It really is a great activity for all ages and something we love to do as a family whenever the mood strikes. After you've paid a couple of quid for the app on your phone you dont have to spend out anymore to get going (although there are premium memberships and high end gps devices for the more die hard amoung you!) just have a quick search of whats around and off you go.
My two girls are still pretty young to try some of the more complex finds but there are also puzzle ones to complete such as one we have in our town which involved finding where items were from pictures and putting them in order to produce the co ordinates of the cache. Great fun was has by the littlies finding all the objects and I can report we did get the answer right to find the final location ;)
I really reccommend trying it and https://www.geocaching.com has all the info you should need!
Ive also just found out about a different scavenger hunt using QR codes which I intend on trying out soon! Will certainly let you know whether its good :D
