Moving a cache

[+Guanajuato]

I've just disabled my cache as a few recent logs suggested that the nearby wall is precarious! It has already been rebuilt once. I doubt its because of the cache, but thought it best to remove it.

 

I know I can post an updated coordinate log. However, I can't find any guidance on how far I can move the cache before I should archive the old one and place a 'new' cache. I won't be moving the cache more than 20 metres or so.

 

Thanks

I've been known to move mine hundreds of feet. You'll be ok with 20 metres (I'm impetric). If you think there might be a problem, ask a reviewer about it.

It might be worth checking in case the new location is too close to another cache...... Even if it doesnt look like its anywhere near, you never know if the final to a mystery/puzzle cache or even the last stage of a multi cache is close by.

You can move it anything up to 0.1 mile yourself. Anything more than that and you'll have to ask a friendly reviewer to have a look

Can one not move a cache more than 0.1 miles by doing it in several steps?

This has been asked before, if I remember correctly, this is flagged up to the reviewers to check.

This way though no action is required by a reviewer... unless of course they disagree?

You can but you'll get a slap on the wrists. It's to prevent people submitting a cache for one location and then moving it to another where it wouldn't be allowed.

And believe me, my wrists still hurt

There's a cache not too far from us which was moved 2822.7 feet to a totally different road and with a new container.

 

I'd have thought that should have been archived and a new one started - it could still have the same name after all.

 

If it was a new cache I would be tempted to go and do it, but finding 'the same' cache twice* would just look silly on the log.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*yes, yes, I know you can find YOSM over and over again but that's supposed to be like that

Did you flag up that it had changed so much?

A move of that distance required moderator assistance so it's not for us to comment
