+baer2006 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Hi, This may sound like a silly question, but I'm curious . What is the longest distance you have seen on a multi cache from start location to the final? Thank you ! Greetings baer Quote
+AnnaMoritz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 For a hiking cache starting in Austria 2000 km. Graz - Monaco. Still unfound. https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC11PTE_graz-monaco?guid=bf9e8d99-65e2-438c-8aba-fde5d7a4b810 Quote
+on4bam Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 This may sound like a silly question, but I'm curious . What is the longest distance you have seen on a multi cache from start location to the final? Thank you ! I know one that's 130Km here in Belgium and there are 2 160-170 Km multi's in Greenland. I'm sure there are more and longer ones around. Quote
+vw_k Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 There were 2 co-operative multis in the UK and New Zealand, each starting in one country and ending in the other. The cache owners allowed them both to be logged as long as you'd co-operated with a cacher in the other country. I don't know if anyone ever found them by visiting both locations or if the caches are still active. Quote
+lamoracke Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 There is a multi that starts in Seattle, then goes to Germany and finishes up back in Seattle, WA. Course, doubt a single cacher has been to both waypoints, it was meant to encourage collaboration. Quote
+niraD Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I found one that requires more than 50 miles of driving, plus several miles of hiking. My total driving mileage was higher than that, just because I found it over the course of several trips, rather than all in one trip, but I don't know how much higher.

Start in UK and final in NZ means almost an antipodal distance, so this can hardly be topped. I guess my initial question is answered - thank you! Quote

I'd surpised if there were a longer multi where you have to walk the distance. Quote

I don't consider that a multi as it probably hardly get's done as any other multi. I guess one cacher will do the UK part and an other will be done by a NZ cacher. Quote
+fizzymagic Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I saw one that had two parts 16000 miles apart but I heard it was rejected because it was impossible. Quote
+eigengott Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I'd surpised if there were a longer multi where you have to walk the distance. The E1 European long distance path from Nordkapp to Southern Italy covers short of 5000 kilometers. No multi yet, as far as I know. Quote
+on4bam Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I saw one that had two parts 16000 miles apart but I heard it was rejected because it was impossible. Maybe they were just 9000 miles apart Quote
+baer2006 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I saw one that had two parts 16000 miles apart but I heard it was rejected because it was impossible. Given that the maximum point-to-point distance on earth is about 20000 km = 12430 miles, I would agree that "two parts 16000 miles apart" is indeed impossible . Quote

The cache owners allowed them both to be logged as long as you'd co-operated with a cacher in the other country. I don't know if anyone ever found them by visiting both locations or if the caches are still active. I've seen that type of cache typically called an exchange cache. There are several of them mentioned in the All Nations forum. Quote
+palmetto Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I'm aware of several multis that cross the Atlantic - US to Europe, and vice versa. I have seen finds where all stages were found by a cacher who did the travel. Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Cool. Start in UK and final in NZ means almost an antipodal distance, so this can hardly be topped. I guess my initial question is answered - thank you! Surely there's no limit...for instance stage 1 UK, stage 2 NZ, stage 3 UK, Final NZ.... Quote
DerPate Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I'd surpised if there were a longer multi where you have to walk the distance. The E1 European long distance path from Nordkapp to Southern Italy covers short of 5000 kilometers. No multi yet, as far as I know. Mmh, I will be at the most northern point of European mainland in summer, but I guess creating THAT multi might be an option for retirement TheGodfather Edited February 8, 2016 by DerPate Quote
+keksbande Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 How about this one? http://coord.info/GC3QY8M You need to get a few a few values on Nordkap and than search for the final in south Spain. Quote

I think, finding won't be the problem, but the time and the distance to do that could be a little challenging. I guess, the owner would provide an English description on demand. TheGodfather Quote
cezanne Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I think, finding won't be the problem, but the time and the distance to do that could be a little challenging. I agree. By the way I was very amused about this blog post https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2015/11/geocaching-bucket-list-amazing-views-edition/ about your Munich-Venice cache - I have no idea how the blogger got the idea that the cache could be done in 2-4 days (seems like some people think that it can be done as road trip by car). On a time scale like that of course your other cache would also require much less time and no longer timeout period. Edited February 14, 2016 by cezanne Quote
