I tried!

I'm usually the one up for a walk. There's a Geocache around 4 km from my hotel - that's a nice afternoon excursion, or so I thought.

After ~500 meters I turned around and went back. #Bangalore has no #walking infrastructure. None. That picture? Just a short stretch, broken sidewalk, cars and motorbikes parked everywhere.

In this city you can't move around if not in a car or on a motorbike. Which adds to the constant traffic jam, noise and pollution.

@ascherbaum I did the same in December. The Rickshaw was out of fuel 5 km before my destination and I walked the rest up to https://coord.info/GC8GHZD

Use a smartphone or GPS device to navigate to the provided coordinates. Look for a micro hidden container. When you find it, write your name and date in the logbook. If you take something from the container, leave something in exchange. The terrain is 1.5 and difficulty is 1.5 (out of 5).
