Adoption Opportunity in Central London

[+Chris n Maria]

Hi everyone,

 

For the last 5 years or so we have been looking after The Sherlock Series - A set of 6 virtual caches in central london leading to a single physical cache. The final cache contains celebratory sherlock keyrings for every finder. The series was placed back in the pre-history of geocaching in 2001.

 

Unfortunately the final cache has been lost and the area it was placed in has been completely cleared so the final cache needs placing somewhere else - which will therefore need some reworking of the previous clues.

 

I no longer have time to maintain the cache and sort out the changes required, so I am hoping some enthusiastic cacher could take over maintaining this historic series.

 

Looking after the virtuals requires dealing with quite a few emails every week.

 

We have a cache box for Sherlock7 full of prize keyrings if the new owner wants it too.

 

Any takers?

Chris

So no takers then?

 

Looks like another lump of caching history is heading for the great archive in the sky

Not me either.My experience of London park adoptions still gives me a headache. Good Luck.

It's a great series and it would be a shame to see it go, so if no-one else steps up then count me in! It would push me to my century of active caches! At this stage I'd replace the final with a micro and see about looking for somewhere for something larger....maybe.

rodz is certainly a lot closer than me. Aii

I may be able to help - living yards from 221b and a Royal Park gardener I could care for the cache if it's okay to hide the cache in a better park, perhaps in my back garden rather than my colleagues'

This cannot be done, Virtual caches can no longer be adopted, They are down to you or lost i'm afraid. MaxKim

Maybe not... They're all listed as multi-caches, not virtuals so there shouldn't be any problem with adopting them over.

Funnily enough, I and a few others have adopted virtual caches very recently.

 

They can still be done

I understand that if they are transferred through www.geocaching.com/adopt then it still works. Its only when there is a 'forced' adoption, it doesn't work.
