I love quizzes and one of my favourite subjects is collective nouns such as:-

Kindle of kittens
Crash of rhinos
Leap of leopards etc

Anyone got any unusual ones?

Also any suggestions for a group of geocachers?

A collective noun for cachers has been discussed on occasion in the past. My favourite is a co-ordinate of cachers.
