Wickerman Geocaching
Find A Wickerman Geocache And Be Rewarded!
The Wickerman Festival has hidden a number of Geocaches around parts of Scotland each containing goodies for the lucky finders!
What is A Geocache?
Geocaching is an fun outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and can also contain items for trading,
Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all seven continents, including Antarctica. As of May 2, 2010, there are over 1,055,904 active geocaches around the world. You can find more geocaches at www.geocaching.com
What Does It Look Like?
Our Geocaches are small boxes (see image above) and each contain a number of limited edition Wickerman Festival badges for you to keep. Also inside is a rule card and a log book for you to record your visit.
Are There Any Rules ?
There a few rules and these are mostly common sense ones and these are
- Respect the area you are in and do not leave any litter or cause any damage
- Follow the country code at all times.
- Do not relocate the box or vandalise it in any way
- Do not leave food stuffs, anything illegal or unsafe / harmful items in the box
- Always replace the box as you found it
How Can I Find One?
We have listed the box locations on a special geocahe loaction page which displays information on each cache which includes a map, the important GPS coordinates and a hint on where to find the cache.The number of boxes will increase over the next year so keep checking this page.
