Geotees is a small, independent blog about geocaching, the gadgets that go with it, and the geeky trail culture that's grown up around the hobby.
It started, as these things do, with a single cache found under a park bench on a wet Tuesday. One find turned into a hundred, the hundred turned into a slightly embarrassing pile of GPS units and waterproof boxes, and somewhere along the way we realised most of what we'd learned came from trial, error and muddy knees rather than from any tidy guide. Geotees exists to be the guide we wish we'd had — plain-spoken, tested in the field, and honest about what actually works.
We write about four things: getting good at geocaching, the trail gear that earns its place in your pack, the GPS and mapping tech behind the hunt, and the quietly brilliant culture of nerdy outdoor tees. Everything here comes from real days out, not press releases. If a piece of kit disappointed us, we'll say so. If a free app does the job just as well as an expensive gadget, we'll tell you to save your money.
We're not sponsored by anyone, and we're not trying to sell you a subscription. The aim is simpler than that: to help more people enjoy the strange, addictive pleasure of finding things hidden in plain sight, and to make the gear side of it a little less baffling.
Geotees is written by Greg Sundberg, a long-time geocacher, gadget tinkerer and incurable map nerd who has spent more weekends than he'd care to admit crouched in hedgerows. Greg has logged finds across the UK and beyond, hides and maintains a handful of his own caches, and has a particular weakness for buying yet another headtorch he doesn't need. When he's not on the trail he's usually taking a GPS apart to see why it's lost signal, or arguing the merits of decimal degrees versus DMS to anyone who'll listen.
Got a question, a correction or a great cache story? We'd genuinely love to hear it — drop a line to [email protected] and Greg will get back to you between adventures.
