  1. Just checked a couple of the locations I had in mind. They have all been nabbed aready for Premium caches. Grrr.
  2. Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. To deal with the points you raise: 1) By Public or open cache I mean any cache that is visible to basic members and doesn't require a subscription. I'm really only interested in traditional caches at this stage. 2) I was aware of the 528 ft minimum spacing. My question was: can you have two caches within the minimum spacing if one is Public and the other is Premium (and hence invisible to basic members). It looks like the answer is NO. Thanks Isonzo for that link. I had come across that page before but I had not realised its significance. If I put in the exact coordinates of my proposed cache it tells me if there are going to be any conflicts. That's just what I need.
  3. I've found that in our wet climate in the UK the majority of caches are very wet when I open them. Most caches seem to be plastic boxes with a tightly fitting lid. You would think that this would keep the damp out but it doesn't seem to. I remember seeing a theory somewhere that this type of container actually makes things worse because pressure differentials between inside and outside can cause water to the drawn into the container - and once inside it can't get out. The driest cache I found was actually an old metal box with an overlapping lid, but not sealed in any way. I would like to start creating a few new caches of my own soon and I would appreciate any advice on this?
  4. I would like to create a few new public (open) geocaches. As a basic member I can see that there are lots of premium caches in my area but I can't see exactly where they are. So I could go to the trouble of setting up a new public cache only to have it refused because it was too close to an existing premium one. Can the spacing requirements be overridden if the caches are of different types? Any advice would be much appreciated.
