    Cache Co-ords from TB's

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    Hi folks,

     

    If a puzzle cache has it's co-ords derived from TB's that have to be intercepted, such as the infamous Interception cache, is there a guideline or rule that states the cache listing page has to explain this? Or could that be part of the Puzzle... Working out you need to discover something else first?

     

    Cheers,

     

    Jon.

    I think it a risky task creating a Puzzle cache derived from TB's only because of how many that are lost/forgotten about.

    Cache Disallowed after loads of effort to set it up !

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    O.K this one had been planned for over a year. It involved a micro 70ft up a tree in the middle of a lake on an island. It would have been a 5/5 'extreme' cache.

    Unfortunately [and unknown to myself] the lake had been established as a nature reserve and not only that but there is an old bylaw banning tree climbing in the park !

    The Council representative [and nature warden] from whom I sought permission [retrospectively] is also a local cacher and maybe pleased that it was not another DNA [did not attempt] cache in this area littered with really high grade caches.

    I did however enjoy the climb and ice skate to place the cache !!

    So what did you do before your plans were thwarted ?

    :wacko::blink::grin::D

     

    CUN, I can only sympathise and would have looked forward in doing the cache ......however it is frustrating that (in some cases) a great deal of effort, time and sometimes expense can be knocked back by those who sit by a computer and disallow.

     

    At the end of the day whether we are cache setter or assessor are trying to make our interest more enjoyable.

     

    When on occasions the caches which they are disallowing are already out there in their hundreds and if it wasnt for these caches our little game, hobby, sport would be less entertaining.

     

    Yet there get out is that rules are rules................Heh hoo life sometimes sucks :yikes:

    Hi I’m new to all for this with 3 so far found.

     

    Is there a Geocaching club/get together in the Kent area it would be most useful to meet others that I can converse with and ultimately understand my question/difficulties and most likely total lack of intelligence?

     

    I have so many questions that sometimes being shown is more advantages than an explanation via e-mail.

     

    thanks in advance
