Title: Geocaching in Disneyland Paris
Post by: Alpop on July 12, 2008, 11:22:54 PM
I wasn't 100% sure if this should go here, but no doubt the powers that be will file it!!

I've only just got into Geocaching. For people who don't know what this is.
Geocaching is sort of like treasure hunting with a GPS. Someone hides a container and posts their location on Geocaching.com The location would be N 55.308939 W 73.09922 (example). The idea is that you then track down this location and when you are there look for the hidden container.
Inside the container is some items and a log book. You sign the book take an item and LEAVE an item. So the next person that comes along can do the same.

Anyway, I just looked to see if there were any at DLRP. There is one in Adventureland and one near Newport Bay Hotel.

The site to view is http://www.geocaching.com (http://www.geocaching.com"%20onclick="window.open(this.href);return%20false;) this should answer most of your questions.

I used my dad's Tom Tom to start off, but in all fairness if you zoom in on the map you can use Google maps to get a rough idea of where you should be.
You can hide / seek caches in the menu on the left. And then search via google maps for an area. If you join up (Free) you can find out where the nearest ones are to your own home

I'm already planning which caches I want to find when I go to Disneyland Paris in March 2011  :lol:
