EarthCaches

Earth caches give us an opportunity to visit some spectacular places of interest and learn more about our planet. These virtual caches are placed at points of geological significance around the globe and visiting them can be a whole new adventure. There is no physical box to search for so no need to bring a pen. You will however have to answer some questions to verify you were at the spot before logging the cache online. For further information visit the EarthCache homepage.

To date we have found five Earth caches. Our first was the Dolmen de Bouéry by Stapper (pictured right). Since then we have visited many other megaliths in this part of France including the Menhir de Ceinturat also by Stapper. Our third Earth cache on our way back from Spain was Le gouffre de l'oeil doux, an amazing natural occurrence where water flows into a freshwater pool from below the surface of the Earth. More recently we have discovered Les roches calcaires and Bort les Orges and we're looking forward to finding many more.
