First to Find!

This is the badge all geocachers in the Vale will be after! The first person to find each of the boxes hidden in the libraries will be able to keep this specially produced FTF badge.

I was chuffed to hear that the first three caches I hid were found very quickly - unfortunately they were a little bit small to hold this badge, which is 44mm diameter.

Essential kit for geocaching:
  • a GPS receiver or mobile phone with suitable app
  • Swaps to put in the box
  • Pen or pencil
  • Fine-point tweezers (some logs have to be carefully extracted from tiny magnetic containers called nanos)
  • Stout footwear and clothes suitable for the conditions
  • Gloves - gardening ones are good, or vinyl ones at the very least - you may have to rummage about in wet undergrowth! (What do you mean that doesn't sound like fun?!)
