Do you geocache?
I saw a little utility last night called GCz from http//www.nicque.com/PQz which sounded like fun.
I have heard of geocaching before, but never tried it, as it always sounded like I needed a cagoule, compass, and flask of weak lemon squash.
This little app makes things seem like much more fun! You have to create an account on http://www.geocaching.com before you can use it, but that's fairly painless.
Within minutes I had fired it up and found that there are several caches near me and my place of work.
Some seem to be simple hidden boxes with a log book and some trinkets to swap, where others have puzzles you need to solve before you find the final cache.
Anyway, it sounds more interesting than a boring walk, and means I can do something to start getting fit, and play with gadgets at the same time. Sounds like a win win situation to me.
I'll see how it goes and post an update.
