With the aim of starting the year as I mean to go on, I decided to get outside on New Year’s Day and go geocaching.

On 25th August 2013, I somewhat sceptically found my first ever geocache in my hometown of Bray, Co Wicklow.

In a lot of ways – and at the risk of sounding a tad dramatic – geocaching… Read More 8 Things I’ve Learned in 5 years of Geocaching | The Geocaching Junkie

The big news was that I reached 365 days in my geocaching streak! I still can’t believe I managed to do it. It wasn’t easy – some… Read More Take me back to Achill | The Geocaching Junkie
