13 Geocaching Lessons/tips

1) 300m as the bird flies can actually be a very long way. . . As obstacles pop up. Such as, hill sides, rocks, ravenes, houses, forest, streams, rivers, sheep.
2) Magpies can be found guarding remote caches.
3) Remote caches always have the best stuff in them.
4) Micro-caches are very good fun!!!
5) Grassy hillsides often conceal rabbit holes, and other much larger holes.
6) Following stock tracks well may seem a good idea can actually be a lot more effort in the long run because. . . Stock don't necessarily want to go towards caches, sheep can climb ridiculously steep slopes with ease, and don't care about prickle bushes at all.
7) It is amazing running in the rain with low clouds. The sense of being the only person in the world is amazing.
8) Climbing fences is fun. However it often attracts the wrong sort of attention for a cacher.
9) Jumping down ledges can be quicker but leaves you feeling jarred and sore!
10) What looks like a row of rocks on you satellite map can actually be a cliff.
11) Having your GPS' battery run out 50m away from a cache when you have no idea what the description or the hint are is very frustrating!!!
12) Sometimes the cache just isn't there anymore. . .
13) Caching is awesome!!!!
