+bmwman Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 As a very experienced "Cacher", [i enrolled Wed evening, and found my first two on Thursday!], I have a question. Although all aspects of "Caching" interest me at this stage, I am particularly fascinated by items that travel and/or can be tracked. I'm a fairly regular visitor to Malta, and I thought of attempting to get an item to Malta, by the efforts of others. Then when I go there in the Autumn, either move it further on within the Malta Island group/bring it back; alternatively, take something with me in the Autumn, and start it over there. I couldn't find Malta listed in the list of Countries, and as many of us Brits visit there, I thought that the UK list might be the best place to ask if Geocaching is established over there.

Regards, John, [bmwman, in Staffordshire] Malta is indeed listed as a country. If you open the cache search page and use the drop-down list next to 'Country', you'll find it under "M" There are 30 caches currently listed in Malta. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Good morning - Welcome to the forum I found the rough centre of malta using Google Earth and then did a search using the co-ords N35°53.601 E14°26.763 There're are quite a few caches out there already: Malta search results. Hope that helps as a starting point for you. MrsB Edited to add: I notice one familiar UK geocaching name has already got a few caches out there.

+bmwman Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 OK, thanks, I missed Malta the first time - [must learn to read the instructions!] I'll go and plot something! John [bmwman] Quote Link to comment
+sssss Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i quite enjoyed my caching in malta, there are a few to do for a small set of islands, it was a shame that it was at the start of my caching life or i would have planned it better. i shall have to go back to do some more, it will be a good excuse to go back.
