Is this question in anyway connected to certain Multi which has only had two visits since July It's on our to-do list (and watchlist) but it's quite a way from home... Mark Quote Link to comment
+thehoomer Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Does anyone know where it all started? Just interested..... I wasnt thinking of that cache actually but now you come to mention it, I do rather think that quality caches are being 'passed up' in favour of 'numbers'. Its a great shame but I guess that is the way we are headed with the sport/hobby. We look forward to seeing you log the cache in question soon anyway! Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 How would you define power trail? How close to each other do the caches have to be before a series intended to be done on foot/bike/canal-boat counts as a power trail? The University Challenge series, the Grand Union Canal series and my own Ridgeway Run caches were all pretty early examples, depending on definitions. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Seem to remember doing (and enjoying!) a certain "ROUTE CANAL" series in October 2006. Quote Link to comment

Yes, you are quite right and we cant remember if we had completed anyone else's power trails before we actually set our own. Were we one of the first I wonder? The old hats will have to answer that one! I suppose, in answer to SP.... any more than 20 caches would be my interpretation. Quote Link to comment

In addition to the spacing I certainly take into account how difficult the hides are. I may also take into account the variability of the hides, the terrain, the total number of caches and probably other factors that I don't even realise are influencing me. The combination of factors is sufficiently complex that it ends up very much as a "gut feeling" rather than a logical analysis. Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment
