Snow White and the seven NSW caches!

[+Bear_Left]

Let's have a cache-fest! The plan is to have seven new caches from seven different cache-setters, all released at the same time. These will be masterpieces of the cache-setter's art in and of themselves, but there'll be an added bonus in each one. We'll supply each of the participating cachers with a laminated card depicting one of the seven dwarfs to place in it. Each of these cards will have on it part of the clue to the location of a cache that we'll set, the Snow White cache. (First finder of each cache will get a model of the relevant dwarf as a keepsake.)

 

This way, there'll be no advantage to be had by the more experienced cache-hunters (except their acquired skills, of course...), as each cache will be a virgin to all (briefly!) The participating cache-setters will have a one-dwarf head start as a thankyou for their efforts.

 

We plan to make the contents of the final cache attractive, mostly for the first finder, but also for the later-comers. Still to be decided, but we're thinking of a night or two in a nice hotel somewhere.

It's our way of thanking the GC community for all the fun we've had as a result of all your hard work in setting caches for us to find. Also, we'd like you to remember us fondly after we've moved to New Zealand in August!

 

The requirements for cache-setters are:

 

- a big enough cache container to fit a card the size of a business card. (You're welcome to include the whole dwarf if you wish! They're about 18x5x8 cm)

 

- a commitment to finish and submit the cache on 30JUN03, for an approval date of late-night on 4JUL03. (I've cleared this with Embi)

 

- difficulty and terrain levels such that any reasonably able cacher can participate (i.e. no special equipment or unusual skills required.)

 

- preferably in the greater Sydney metro area. This is flexible, but the intention is to keep the caches accessible to the majority of cachers.

 

- the intention to make your cache a good one, so this is a fun event at all levels.

 

We're open to comment on any of the above, or to add anything we haven't thought of, either in this thread or to bearleft@mackereth.net

 

Do we have any volunteers?
