What is the longest distant multicache you have completed?

[+Goldenwattle]

Mine would be Canberra to Darwin.GC63GEW Just under 5,000kms. 14 WPs. I was also the first to make the drive to claim this.

(The FTFer sat down, made some phone calls and worked it out, without actually visiting the WPs. Clever to have managed that.)

I still have fond memories of this one:

120 kms and nearly 6000 meters of elevation,  with 9 WPs.  All of it on foot/bike, since it's all inside a single State Park.

 

Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!

Impressive! Mine is are not nearly as extensive. I have a FTF on one just over 600 miles (~1000km) GC76752  Traveling from Vancouver Washington up to Seattle Washington then down to the central Oregon coast, though I split it up into three separate trips.Second was just under 600 miles going from Portland Oregon down to Ashland Oregon and back to Portland.

That's even more amazing I feel than the cache I found. The end of the one I did involved a walk to the cache in a Nature Reserve, but the rest was mostly driving.

Locally we've got GC70X4A - not quite 5000km, but listed as a 1/1.5 P&G , ~300km.

Oh also GC4ZW3A, which was archived a while back. But - 103 stages, mostly P&Gs, some high D or T. Impossible to maintain, or to complete without having the CO on call. (unsurprisingly, archived)

We've never done a drive-to multi.  To us it's not much different than C&D/park n grab/ whatever you call them, that we don't do anymore.

Did do a 60 mile on/off the AT on a competing site once (when they had more caches/cachers). 

The other 2/3rds never backpacked with a tent before then, so that was interesting...

Longest lately was only 13 miles or so.  Not too many folks seem to wanna walk these days here.

I quote the last finder, with 4 finds, " Easy, and was able to find in a snap, evsn at 10:30 pm! "   ????

The 5,000km multi I did had a decent walk at the end, likely uphill. Also, hundreds of kms between WPs.

Yep, which makes me think they found stage 1

We did a 130Km multi once but not in one go. It took a long time to finish but most WPs were also mysteries by a different CO so while doing those over a couple of months we gathered all info for the multi. We've also done several 30-40 Km multis but the longest we did was just a few weeks ago, 64Km, 60+ WPs around Brussels. We did this by bike and there was a lot of climbing (and downhill too of course). Unfortunately at the final coordinates we found the hint but no cache. The CO quickly checked and replaced the cache a short distance away so next time we're in the area we can go and write our name in the log and log a find.

I did Refuge Roundup, which requires more than 50 miles driving and several miles of hiking. I'm not sure how much driving I ended up doing though, because I didn't do it all in one day. I did a couple stages one day, and then a couple more the next, and so on. So I'm sure I ended up driving more than I would have if I had done it all in one trip.
