Wanna... Get Out of the House, Challenge your Brain, Go to New places ? Suitable for all ages and most abilities.

There is a widely popular international activity called geocaching. FREE FREE FREE

Basically you use a gazillion US$ worth of equipment http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/GPS.html

to find 10 cents worth of plastic.

"Cachers" hide a container ranging from a thimble sized thingy to an ammo box, in hopefully an interesting

place.Must contain minimum of piece of paper. (log)

The details are put on the website.

Creating a free account will access all the info.

Now you go and find the cache, sign the log.

In urban areas, e.g. bangkok, you can use a the map/GoogleEarth on the webpage enter the co-ordinates and go search for the cache. Sign the log and report find to website.

I could go on forever,and put all the links, but if this info does not elicit the spirit of enquiry and web search to find out more, then it's unlikely to be of interest to the reader.

Don't the Brit Embassy staff organize something similar on Sunday, get directions to a place where you must find some paper giving directions to the next place ??

This was some years back that I heard about it and it was a family orientated thing
