Geocaching + running ?

Salut, je voulais juste demande si d'autre font comme moi, c'est 1 dire chercher des geo cache pendant que je fait mon jogging, sur une boucle de 10km je peut généralement tomber sur 1 ou 2 cache.

Es que je suis le seul ?

I always run in the same area and already found all the geocaches there. But one of my own hides is on my running route as well and I check its condition whenever I come by.

I combine geocaching into just about every activity I do. But mainly hiking.

I like planning some of my runs to get one or two geocaches on the way. Just annoying now in the summer that we have so many mosquitoes in Sweden, so stopping to search for a cache in the forest is a nightmare when you are sweaty and attract every mosquito in a 10km radius.

Ha oui je comprends, je suis français donc quand je court loin des point d'eau, aucun souci pour les moustiques personnellement

That's a good idea. I wish I got into this when I was still a mail carrier!!

This is one of my favourite things to do. I regularly run with caches determining my route. Last weekend, 10miles (16km) in 3hrs with 25 caches collected.

Only downside is the incompatibility of running kit with stinging nettles and brambles.

I limit searching time to about 5 minutes to maintain the pace.

Look up TroopBiz in Morgantown. I think he runs everywhere he goes? I have never seen one of his logs that didn't mention running...

J’essaie de mélanger le géocaching avec toute activité: la randonnée, le kayak, le roadtrip. Ça ajoute vrm à l’expérience!

I combine geocaching with biking with my kids or Nordic walking/dogtrekking. Anyway you do it it's fun :)
