K2 Dan Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Hi everyone, I am new to geocaching and have found it quite a lot of fun. It is amazing how we can find a little box in the middle of nowhere! I have seen on the USA forum that there are some really exciting caches. A prize for one of them was $1000 where a trek into the wilderness was involved! Are there any such caches in the UK? I am a keen hiker and mountaineer so I crave 5/5 caches! Thanks.

+SimonG Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 There are a few 5/5s around, but don't expect prize money! At GeocacheUK.com you can see a list of all UK caches which you can sort by difficulty/terrain. SimonG.org Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 There's also a list of the hardest 20 UK caches, based on the sum of difficulty and terrain. Quote Link to comment

+freakent Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Slightly off topic but I'd like to see a report of caches with the highest not found to found ratio. wouldn't these be the caches that people have found most difficult? Quote Link to comment
el10t Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Trouble is this statistic would be skewed by caches that have gone missing and therefore have a lot of not-found logs. Rich mobilis in mobili Quote Link to comment

In that case, and at the risk of falling foul of the cache advertising rules, I nominate Grin-ning from 'ere to 'ere! Currently we only store 'found it' logs, though this may soon change, and allow this sort of report to be written. Quote Link to comment

Oh, actually, don't worry - it seems to have gone now. That was weird. Rich mobilis in mobili Quote Link to comment
