A short while ago Inside Out presenter Chris Packham hid a cache, containing all sorts of goodies. Chris also produced a report on geocaching, which you can watch using the link at the left of this page.

The cache is somewhere in the BBC South region and the co-ordinates are available now on the geocaching website.


One of the items in the cache is a camera. We'd like each finder to take a photo of themselves and put the camera back in the cache. Each time the film is full we'll put the pictures here on the BBCi Southampton website - and put a fresh film in the camera.

Have a look at this gallery of the first set of pictures. They're a bit dark so we're going to swap the camera with one which has a flash.

The little red hippo

Wildlife expert Chris also included a special friend of his - the little red hippo.

The hippo travelled all over the world with Chris as he filmed for TV shows, including The Really Wild Show and X-Creatures.


Now, the hippo is going it alone as a 'travel bug' and wants to move from cache to cache, hopefully continuing to travel the world.
