Been playing around with an idea for a Geocache. Basically there's only a handful of caches in Pimlico in London. Inspired by the Carry on series of caches, I'm thinking about placing a cache inspired by the Ealing comedy "Passport to Pimlico".
And then over the weekend, the missus explained Letterboxing to me and it's just kind of come together with an idea to have the logbook mocked up to look like a passport that you'll have to stamp.
But I have a couple of questions before I can go much further on the hybrids. You see, I've not found one yet (in fact I don't even know where there are any nearby!). So I get that you have a unique stamp inside in order for letterboxers to stamp their books, but in the hybrid, is the book that gets stamped and stays with the cache the same as the log book - or do I need two different books?
Also, how unique does the stamp have to be? Will I have to craft it somehow, or can I pick up an antique one from the stamp in the market in Islington? Finally, do I include an ink pad in the cache, or will a letterboxer bring one with them? (I toy with the idea of getting a self inking stamp, but I think a pad is just more reliable.
Thanks for any help, and thanks again for the responses to my underwater cache query before - I ended up placing it on land in the end, it became GC2HVJ2 "A Walk by Yeading Brook".
