Into
The Wild, November 9-10 - GEOCACHING
Last Sunday students
from The Speaking Club “Into the Wild” participated in a very interesting
activity – GEOCACHING*.
At first, we
were explained what Geocaching is and then we moved outside to look for our
treasures! The first treasure turned out to be a tiny coin in a little metal
box under a post-office box not far from the Town Hall. We signed a logbook and
got another description. Our next task was to find an object near the sea, next
to the City Hall. It wasn’t easy. We had to read the information about a famous
film “Stalker” and answer the questions in order to find the place. It took us
a long time to find the treasure but we were lucky in the end! Our GPS device
helped us a lot. The treasure was a jar well hidden in the wall and a few
badges in it, which we didn’t take. After the game was over, we went to the
nearest café and stayed outside to have a picnic and celebrate our victory! We
took some funny pictures, drank hot tea with cookies and went home. I think it
was a lovely day, and we had a lot of fun!
*From the Editor: Geocaching is a treasure hunt
outside. You go to the website www.geocaching.com, find a cache (treasure) which looks
interesting, use GPS coordinates given in a description and then go outside to
find your cache! If you have difficulty finding a treasure you may solve a
puzzle to get an additional hint. The treasure can be big or small but you
always need to replace it with another treasure of the same value for other
geocachers to have FUN as well!
