Have you ever tried Geocaching?

Isn't it funny what you can find on the world wide web!

Yesterday as we were happily surfing the internet looking for a bone shapped karabiner (whole other story) when we came across Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing).  Has any one out that tried it?  It looks like great fun and i'm certainly interested in giving it a go.  The site we found was called UK Geocachers where you can get the full history of the fun activity and buy all your geocaching needs.  I for one can't wait to give it a go and my kids will love the whole hidden treasure aspect as they are big fans of all things pirate related and treasure maps.  What's more, it's a dog friendly activity so both Rosie and Barney Fang can join us, that's what I call a family day out!  Obviously the Dicky Bag, the portable dog waste carrier, will be ever present because there will no doubt be a shortage of bins on route and I don't fancy carrying smelly bags of dog poo for hours and it always ends up being my job!

I love to hear from any one who has tried it to give us some tips or advice.

We had a go at orienteering about 6 months ago which was great fun but we felt it was a little too competitive, we just want to encourage the kids to walk furthter.

Testimonials

I have had my Large Blue Beach Dicky Bag now for 3 weeks, and I can honestly say, it has changed my life!  Before you dismiss me as some sad person who could do with getting out more let me finish.

I didn't think carrying bags of dog poo bothered me, it wasn't my most favourite job but I just got on with it, carried it to the bin and got rid of it, which is why when I first saw the Dicky Bags at Discover Dogs 2009 I poo, pooed the idea (forgive the pun).

I had seen the bags reviewed in various publications and the comment that brought it home to me was in Dogs Monthly magazine, on the walking section, when the man said after the collar and lead the dicky bag is the most essential piece of dog walking equipment so I bought a bag for my walking holiday.

When I'm wrong I'm prepared to admit it, and WOW! was I wrong about the Dicky Bag.  Life is so much better without flimsy bags of dog poo in my hand, ever! I enjoy my walks so much more, I don't have every pocket stuffed with plastic bags, I don't heave a big sigh when my dog relieves himself and i'm not embarrased when I meet friends and I can go into shops or even for a cup of tea in the little cafe at the end of my walk.  I would disagree with the man in the magazine though!  I think the Dicky Bag is more important than the collar and lead.

Watch out all my dog owning friends and family - you're all getting a Dicky Bag for Christmas - they're worth every penny and MORE!
