"We think geocaching is such a fantastic idea that we’ve started hiding some of our own themed caches in the national park. Search using the keyword ‘Buckden Rake’ on the geocaching.com website for details of a seven cache trail around the archaeology of Langstrothdale. Search for 'Hawes Highways' for our caches in Wensleydale exploring ancient routes, find out about Malham's geology by searching for 'Malham Cove', discover beautiful Dentdale by searching for 'Dent Meander' and finally in Swaledale search for 'Reeth Remembered'." - Iphigenie from Bookmarklet

If you forget to load the co-ordinates onto your GPS at home then pop into the national park centres in Grassington or Malham and use our dedicated 'geocomputers'. We have connections for most Garmin and Magellan units and at the touch of a button the waypoints will download to your GPS receiver. If you haven't got your own GPS receiver yet but would like to try geocaching out you can now hire pre-programmed units from the Grassington, Malham, Reeth and Hawes National Park Centres. The cost is £5 for the day plus a refundable deposit of £50. Give the centre a call if you want to reserve one in advance. We have designed special leaflet trails to go with them which the whole family will enjoy. Each trail ends with the chance to find a proper geocache using the GPS receiver to guide you. - Iphigenie

My son does this. He left a couple in Antartica. I want to do it, too. It's like going on a treasure hunt! - Kimber Scott

I used to do that. - James Myatt

What I find nice is that you can rent one for the day - that's neat! Note: Never searched for a geocache, although always find neat treasures and quirky discoveries wherever I go for a walk :) - Iphigenie
