As a relatively new cacher I appreciate all the efforts of those who hide the caches. However, I have written one comment about a cache which was a box wrapped in a bin liner under a bush. It looked like it was unpleasant rubbish. I thought the idea of caching was that it did not spoil the environment and encouraged people to explore areas of interest. I was not rude in my comment but tried to be constructive. The people hiding it had only found 5 caches of their own so I felt that maybe they had not got enough experience of what a cache should be like. I don't like to see rubbish and had i not been with my daughter who prodded the bag I would not have even looked into it, as it just looked like it had been abandoned. I am not sure of the guidelines given to hiders of caches as I have not yet hidden one. I presume somewhere it mentions that this hobby should not damage the environment and placing caches which look like rubbish surely does this? This a great hobby. thanks to all of you out there who are keeping me fitter and healthier by planting the caches!
