+freejam Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...22-a3e3f34b6350 On the Border - Afganistan This is Asadabad's First Cache. It is about 7 miles from the Afghanistan/Pakistan border and because of this it's also prone to rocket and mortar attacks from those pesky Taliban and Al Queida losers!!! It's been given a difficulty rating of 1.5 - is that mad? Quote Link to comment
Dave from Glanton Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I saw this one being discussed on one of the other forums. Quote Link to comment
+Hillhappy1 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 How about one in Iran's Nuclear (for peaceful purposes) installation. Would it get approved? Sods law one of my geocoins or TB's will end up in one of these caches. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I think you may find that the caches within Afghanistan and Iraq are for the military and attached personell that are Geocachers. I don't think any are out in the open for anyone to come along too. I'm all for these caches, as I can tell you from first hand experience, Afghanistan and Iraq are not fun places to be in, and something to do whilst visiting other camps is always a bonus.

+BareClawz Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 From what I've read there are indeed caches in Iraq and Afghanastan. Most are on bases as anything left laying about outside soon gets muggled. I can't imagine the UK authorities allowing anyone use of a decomissioned nuclear reactor or establishment of any sort. Lets face it they're even rather stuffy about some of the storage facilities that were created during WW2. But having said that I am currently working on two extreeme caches. One will be a plain 5/5 that will need some special equipment to recover the final cache. It will be possible to solve the cache in one day. But another I am creating will have more stages, and be both mentally and physically demanding. It will be rated 5/5 only because there is no higher setting. It certainly won't be solvable in anything like 24 hrs it might even take several months to achieve all the stages. This won't just be a cache, it will be an adventure. Is the UK ready for such a cache? Time will tell, but your feelings and comments will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+Archer4 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 But no need not to look smart while caching wherever you are... Extreme ironing in Iraq Quote Link to comment

+Wizard William and Team Morris Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 None of these are as dangerous as Teddys-ley near Stafford. As you go through the five bar gate a sign greets you stating all trespassers will be killed. Didn't enjoy that final third of a mile and ate my lunch somewhere else that day. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Isn't there a dangerous one in a quarry on the Wirral ? Quote Link to comment
