If you're aware of Geocaching you'll know it's great fun, specially for the children and you just don't know what you're going to find.
Of course you might look a bit odd a family of you wading through bushes/streams/buildings looking for the geocache but who cares.
There have been some reet interesting finds, some are little peeks into another persons world, some are interesting objects where you swap/replace ( the the principle is if you find something and keep it that you should replace it with something of equal value or more...all well and good is that....until earlier today that is.
Previous finds along with the usual notes to say Hi and the updates which goes with any geocache have ranged from an emergency cigarette to a £2 coin, to roman coins or locks of hair or items of jewellery or photos of people etc.
But todays find sort of raised it up a notch (and in a way spoiled the find) today's find was a sad note about the previous persons at the cache and their now expired relative a £50 note and a rather expensive looking ring, the note stated that the finder could keep the ring as it was sort of being passed on to have good luck with and the £50 note was to spend on buying something 'more than the norm find' to replace the ring with.
So, the question is, do you take what is there and uphold the request of the previous person at the geocache or do you pass on by but forever be left thinking 'should I have'
So a vote was held (four of us in the group) as to what to do, the resounding response was
'doesn't feel right, lets leave it for another and not update that we've found it' *whew*
So for any other geocache happy people wanting to leave something in return or indeed just leave something....please don't leave visitors to the cache in such a quandary it's not good.
On the upshot we travelled a few more miles to seek out another one and found a cool travel diary of where the last person had been and a Nemo mcdonalds toy from yonder year, we replaced the diary with a metal dice and the Mickey D toy with a mini Rubik cube.
All good fun is geocaching, it's just when the finds get a bit heavy in monetary terms that the fun is lost a little.

I'd a friend who did this. She found a notebook and an old coin. I think it looks fun, like a treasure hunt. Although I'm rubbish with maps but would give it a go
