Geocaching

I had never heard of this activity before, so was very surprised to find that it seems to be very popular with many people, if the number of comments on caches near me were anything to go by. That was also a surprise, that there were many in my postcode area. Having said that, I don't feel inspired to go down to my local park to look for one!

It's the sort of activity that requires movement, like the Scoot program in Melbourne or at a university with a widepsread campus, rather than within the confines of a smaller library. Somewhere where you actually need a GPS device. As a program it would be perhaps most successful when aimed at a specific group eg first year university students.
