Links for Landmarkers

These links may prove useful for those planning to stay in a Landmark Trust property.

Links:

• Geo Caching

  URL http://www.geocaching.com/about/
  
  Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for gps users. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
  
  

• GPS Warehouse

  URL http://www.gpsw.co.uk/
  
  Global Positioning Systems - they are cheap and really easy to use, you need never be lost again.
  I have a Garmin eTrek, a very basic model but highly recommended. Just key in the coordinates from the Astbury review pages and a GPS will lead you straight to the property.

  Well actually they don't even have radios, probably the best thing to take is something like the Freeplay Ranger.
