“Geocaching gives a point to walking, which is awesome,”
Scott says. “It can also put you in some hairy situations.
In Cape Town I was almost attacked by baboons going after a cache;
I also ended up in a dangerous scramble to the top of a mountain in Gordon’s Bay.”
Some caches require 4x4s to get to them.
