THE GEOCACHE TREASURE HUNT

We try and make every corner of life exciting and fulfilled. So, when two years ago we stumbled across geocaching, we were thrilled! Our front garden is an enchanted place for children (and adults) as they are enthralled by our Christmas light display every year for poor children. It is known locally as 'the Christmas house'. Through the year we try and keep it magical with a water fountain, beside which is a praying angel and then at different times we place an array of animals, insects, dragonflies etc amid the green grass, bed it out with colourful flowers and our bird feeder attracts robins, sparrows, wood pigeons, magpies and many more.

However there is an additional secret. A treasure box!



Those who geocache (open to anyone - just go to their web site) get the coordinates and the clue and then the hunt begins.

Tucked somewhere is a stache of exciting items just waiting for children's eyes to glow wide. When someone finds it, they can take an item and leave one and sign the log.

Our first treasure hunters came from Zimbabwe. Since then, we have had people from Germany, Grimsby, South Africa, Swansea, Switzerland, Malta, USA, France, Wales  and all over the local area. Over 132 people have found it!

Some of their comments have been lovely:

Being locals to the area we have walked past 'the Christmas house' countless times (me only once before, but who could forget!) such a wonderful thought that a cache has been laying in wait for us!  Thanks for such a wonderful treasure trove also! Being a rather windy day yesterday I was desperate for a hair band and your cache provided! Thanks again - and take a well earned favourite point!

Found with the kids who were so excited! Thank you. Toys swapped.

So why not enter into the joy and the mischief of geocaching and placing a treasure box somewhere......
