Geocache

A high-tech cache

A geocache (sometimes known as a "cache") is what we are placing and hunting. It could be a box of stuff in the bush. Or perhaps a film cannister in an urban environment. Or maybe a webcam on a beach! You'll only know if you try it!

The types of geocache as as follows:

• Traditional cache - a hidden stash
• Multi-cache - a set of waypoints leading to the cache
• Virtual cache
• Event cache - a gathering of geocachers
• Webcam cache
• Mystery cache - a catch all category to cover other possible caches that don’t fit easily within the other cache categories
