Get Active Get Geocaching!

School Nurse Support Workers braved the rain and cold to complete their first Geocache Trail this morning.

We have been looking for ideas to get young people interested in being active and when we found out about the Geocahe Trails in our area (www.Geocaching.com) we decided to give it a go.

We chose Shrewsbury's trail 'The Bridges Over the Severn'
We had to go from bridge to bridge as directed and find numeric answers to questions.
At the end these numbers formed a map reference which we put into google maps and followed.
After a little bit of head scratching we found the Cache!!!
We were very excited and added a message to the log book.
We clocked up 8000 steps doing this walk - the surfaces were flat, enabling anyone to give it a go!
We plan to do this trail as part of a Fit Families Group walk in a few weeks time - Keep your eyes peeled for time and date Soon!
