+drdick&vick Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just had the notification that this cache GC37P9X. Not what I would call a well composed and informative cache page. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Meh. Not the first "blank" cache page, and probably won't be the last. Hope that CO doesn't get cranky about "blank" logs. Quote Link to comment

+Gushoneybun Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not even a mention of the urban guidelines No chance of being discreet on this one, the cache is overlooked by a school on the middle of a roundabout that no one would logically walk onto, you can just see someone getting stopped by the police when getting it.

+drdick&vick Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yup and that is probably why I dont do puzzles The one I quoted is actually on a flipping roundabout overlooked by half the world, well Crawley Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It's better looking location than what I have seen some caches at. But I expect difficult to be discreet. Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 At least there are no spelling or grammar mistakes on the cache page. I've found a few totally blank cache pages (blank trads, blank puzzle pages are ok), and I left a "This log intentionally left blank" log Quote Link to comment

My thoughts exactly. School close by (see one of the FTF logs), houses on three of the exit roads and it is on the roundabout and there is no hint but I am told that it is all in the name.

+Cache! Eh? Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Where are the puzzle details published? Edited November 17, 2011 by Cache! Eh? Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Blank descriptions are often used for puzzles. Took about 30 seconds to solve that one! Here's our contribution to blank-cache-page-puzzles ! Mark Quote Link to comment

So does this mean the enforcement of the GAGB "Urban" guideline/rule has been quietly dropped in favour of applied common sense? Quote Link to comment

Unsure why more folk don't seek puzzles including the more obscure ones. Quote Link to comment

+drdick&vick Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I accept that blank pages are used for puzzle caches but this one is not a puzzle but a traditional on a roundabout. Quote Link to comment
+Cache! Eh? Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Where are the puzzle details published? Aaaaaaaaaaah! The penny drops! :D :D Must go back and look at a lot more puzzles in progress! Quote Link to comment

I! Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Just had the notification that this cache GC37P9X.Not what I would call a well composed and informative cache page. A striking contrast to this on the other side of the world, which reads like an earthcache and was loved by all bar this dissenter: "It may sound rather callous but at the end of the day all we really need are the coordinates".

+Stuey Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 http://coord.info/GC353GK Is blank too. I love it when things appear when you tilt your screen Quote Link to comment
+Maple Leaf Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 http://coord.info/GC353GK Is blank too. Another puzzle one solved and added to the 'puzzles solved, waiting for a visit' bookmark. Shame this forum post hadn't appeared earlier in the week as I could have gone for the cache as well as ...... I drove within one mile of the final cache on Weds afternoon Quote Link to comment
+Cache! Eh? Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 An as yet unsolved one with 70 watchers here! GC3APCH blank????? Quote Link to comment
+drsolly Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just had the notification that this cache GC37P9X. Not what I would call a well composed and informative cache page. Inspired by that cache, I've just set a puzzle cache with a blank cache page and no hint. I'm hoping it'll be approved soo. Quote Link to comment
+drsolly Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Mine new puzzle was slightly delayed by the new requirement that you have to explain to the reviewers how to solve the puzzle. But available now. http://coord.info/GC3M1NE Quote Link to comment
