+family brown Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Off to Somerset in a couple of days. There is a cache that hasn't been found since March 2010 that I'm going to go looking for (GCNZTZ). I thought I'd seen a thread about caches like this (ie in need of rediscovery) but can't remember what it was about. Anyone any idea what I'm on about? Also hoping to do my first night cache a few miles south of that one... Quote Link to comment
+Malpas Wanderer Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) It may qualify you to seek find and log one of the resuscitator caches. Search for likely candidates. Edited August 25, 2011 by Malpas Wanderer Quote Link to comment
+Y6GST Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Could be the Resuscitator Challenge Cache(s) you are referring to? Such as this one: http://coord.info/GC2FPDY I believe there are others are the country, not sure where though. Quote Link to comment
+Hawkins2.5 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) It may have been about resuscitator challenge caches - ones where you have to find a cache that hasn't been found for a year or more to qualify for finding the challenge cache. An example of one of these is HERE and I'm sure there is probably a bookmark list of UK resuscitator challenge caches. (Otherwise just search under cache name for resuscitator, that's what I did to find my example.) EDIT: LOL, too slow on the uptake for this one Edited August 25, 2011 by Hawkins2 Quote Link to comment
+family brown Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Ah, yes, that was it, thanks! Wish me luck, and Little Brown (4 and 3/4), she'll want to come along. Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The first one was our GC2FPDY Resuscitator - Challenge Cache It was just something I though of one day - possibly inspired by Simply Paul's forum thread about forgotten caches There are three other UK ones that I know of: GC2HD75 Surrey Resuscitator - Challenge Cache GC2K3H6 Chorley Challenge #1 GC2Y2ZV Northants Resuscitator Challenge Cache We even had an email from a South African asking if we minded if he copied the idea!! GC315RW Cape Resuscitator - Challenge Cache It's amazing many forgotten caches get lots of visits once they have been woken up again Mark Quote Link to comment

+The Halflings Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 After coming on here and reading the posts last night I did a search on my local area and found a page and a half of caches requiring a visit. So The Halflings will be out and about or we could if Delta 68 doesn't mind pinch the text and set a resuscitator ourselves. Halflings dad Quote Link to comment

When we set ours it wasn't possible to sort a PQ Preview by 'date last found' so it was a lot harder to spot them than it is now... Quote Link to comment
+Ant89 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Found a multi that has not been found for 23 months yesterday Quote Link to comment

+ratcliffe Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How do you get a list of the caches not found in over x long ? (say a year) Quote Link to comment
+Amberel Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How do you get a list of the caches not found in over x long ? (say a year) You can do it in GSAK. I have all the UK in GSAK, updated to about the last 6 weeks. If you want to give me a centre point and radius I'll see what there is for you. Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment
+abanazar Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How do you get a list of the caches not found in over x long ? (say a year) You can do a normal search (e.g. stick in your postcode and say 20 mile radius). On the result screen, click the Last Found column heading (first click sorts on latest first, second click sorts the other way round). After the first few unfound caches, then you start to see old dates: the Resuscitator candidates. Quote Link to comment
+family brown Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Didn't find it Stymied by illegal barbed wire, straight across a footpath (which was labelled as "Public Access land" no less). Maybe next year... But I have set up a PQ for local caches which haven't been found and the Surrey cache is on the way home from a meeting in a few weeks time, so might still manage my little self-set challenge.
