Are you new to GeoCaching or a grizzled old veteran?

Come to our latest Teaching Event. Come to learn new skills or share your wisdom and experience with the next generation of GC’ers. Either way meet some new people!

Come and meet philroi, one of the new Geocachers in the area and an expert at compass and map. He will be leading many topics which will assist you to …

Learn to get yourself around that deep ravine in the dense tree cover even if your GPSr can't get a good signal.
Find a cache, even without a GPSr.
Get yourself out of the woods if your GPSr fails.

Our focus will be on teaching skills that directly related to finding woodland caches. As many people are hesitant to track caches that are to far into the woods.

Bring your GPS, Compass and Trash bag. (Insect repellant highly recommended!)

We will be on FRS Channel 2 the entire day.
