Some brief planning before your attempt on a [[cache]] can make the whole experience vastly more enjoyable.
 
If your target is in a bush area, 10 minutes of planning can save you hours of walking because you didn't notice that river, ravine or freeway between you and the cache!
 
* Plot the [[cache]] on a [[map]] and find its general location
 
* Find the most appropriate entry point and route to the general location
 
* Look at different maps to make sure you pick up on those obscure tracks that may lead you to your eventual goal.
 
  
Use [[waypoint management software]] to categorise, classify and research the caches in your chosen area. Use this and mapping software to identify clusters of caches which can form the basis of a good caching trip.
