Cache & Dashes

[+Gralorn]

Is there a way of producing a list of just the 'cash & dashes' in say the South West ? I appreciate that all the M4 & M5 Motorway Mayhems are listed, but what of ordinary ones dotted around the counties?

[+Happy Humphrey]

Isn't there going to be thousands of the blighters?

[+Simply Paul]

You could search for 1/1s? (can't you? If not, a PQ?) At least they'd be easy, even if they're not true drive-bys.

badger has a bookmark list, but these will be mostly outside the southwest. You'll have to download all the trads and virts in the area using dozens of PQ's, upload them to Memory-Map and trawl the roads adding each one that is close to a road to yor own bookmark list. Not really worth the effort I suppose?

It's even harder than that. For example, we have a cache which appears to be by a road, but it's not. Don't forget the third dimension.

 

You could always suggest a C&D attribute.

You could always suggest a C&D attribute.

 

So at what point does a "Cache and Dash" become "A quick cache"?

[+Gralorn]

So there's not then! unless ages was taken looking at all the 1/1 traditional caches and listing them.... Thanks for the answers appreciated. The circular drive by is not an option on these rainy days then, shame.

[+JeremyR]

You could use a Caches Along a Route PQ with the distance from route set to 0.1miles, traditionals and LBHybrids only, difficulty <1.5, etc, etc...

Depending upon when you need it, I can probably create a bookmark list of all 1/1 caches in an area. I can't think of any other way of producing an automated list. An attribute would indeed be rather useful!

[+Gralorn]

We were heading out towards Newbury & Thatcham, so have used GSAK for all caches and now starting to go through them looking for 1/1 and reading about them in the spilt screen. Time consuming though must admit! Would hate to have to do it for say the South West.

[+Von-Horst]

Couldn't you just use the map on GC.com to look for ones that are next to road?

 

That's what we do.

Here's one bookmark list that I know of: True Cache And Dash Caches (vix92008)

Nice list, but the nearest to us is 32.6 miles away 'Welcome to Wales'. there are a lot more nearer that we know of, so it's not a well kept bookmark list, plus there are pages of Motorway Mayhems which we knew there was a list of. back to looking at split screen and GSAK. Thanks though all interesting stuff.
