What is Geocaching ?
- The geocaching is about looking for ‘caches’. The caches are small containers hidden in the nature and are geo-referenced on an official website: www.geocaching.com.
- Once you have found the cache, you note your passage (date, nickname and a comment, if you have enough room) in the logbook in the container.
- Certain caches contain objects. If you wish, you can take them as long as you replace it with something else of equal or greater value.
- You must always replace the cache in the same place that you found it.
The Combrailles Tourist Office propose 2 types of caches :
- Traditional caches : All the information (GPS coordinates, clues…) are provided to take you directly to the exact position of the cache.
- Multi Caches : These are realised in several stages, each stage gives you a clue which makes it possible to reconstruct the coordinates of the final cache.
