2. Create a cache
It’s time to create, hide and register your own cache.
Be creative! Think about what to put in it and whether you want it to have a theme. It could complement the surroundings, or be about something that interests you.
Don’t forget to label it clearly and put a pencil and log sheet in the cache so people can record when they’ve visited it. Make sure the cache, is waterproof and hardwearing, and hide it in a safe and legal place.
Why not wait a few weeks, then check to see if anyone’s found your cache?
