Has anyone been geocaching around Vancouver? Looking for recommendations for places to explore (lemmy.ca)

Yeah, tried it a few years ago. It was fun, some are hard but explored areas which I probably wouldn't have paid any attention to.

Yes! Tons of great caches nearby to explore. Personally, I think anything put out by layzee_bones is worth finding. Is there any type of cache in particular you're interested in? Or just starting out in the hobby?

BC's oldest cache, from February 2001, is an ammo can in Pacific Spirit Park near UBC: https://coord.info/GC1DD

Oh cool, I'll try that one some time!

I'm open to anything, but since we're just starting out we might try for the easy ones. Or alternatively if there is an area with a handful of them close together, that might be a chance to try out different ones

Thanks for sharing :)

There's lots of areas with clusters close together, lots of parks worth visiting! If you're new, I'd recommend sticking to larger sizes (i.e. not micro) as well as low difficulty rating. And caches in the woods might be easier than urban hides to start off

Good to know, thanks!
