We had a lot of trouble finding the treasure. The sat-nav wasn't great at finding the spot but the real problem was a fir tree that has fallen over in last week's snow and it was right over the hiding spot for the treasure. We were searching all over the area (which was a bit muddy so we all got a bit messy) until Daddy finally found the box. Daddy says there are loads of them and they're all around - even some up at Granny and Grandpa's so I can't wait to find more.

Geocaching
Today we went Geocaching for the first time. Geocaching is where get a location for a treasure from the geocaching website and put it in your GPS (or sat-nav in our case!) and then find your way to it. They're usually not on a main road so you can really trust a sat-nav to show you the way so you either need to know roughly where you are going or find your way on a map. The GPS/Sat-nav helps you find the exact spot when you get there and the treasure is usually a hidden sealed box with little treasures inside and a log book. We signed the log book and re-hid the box but didn't have anything to leave so didn't take anything.

I've just had a look at the Geocaching site and there are hundreds around Inverness to try when you come to visit next!
Brilliant! Can't wait. Daddy has ordered a new GPS as the sat-nav isn't accurate enough for us and failed to find two caches near Kingussie.
