The Most Remote Cache On Earth?

[+Simply Paul]

While looking for random cache names I found this one in a spot down south. It's been up a while and not yet been logged. I suspect our reviewers wouldn't have approved it, since I can't see the owner in the photo...

 

I found another cache some thousand or so miles away which seems to have been logged by Google alone. Not sure *that's* in the spirit of 'caching either!

 

Anyway, it got me wondering where the most remote cache in the UK is. That's remote as in the furthest from the next nearest cache, not in a remote location with another cache just up the road. Any ideas?

I would say that Out on a limb was the most remote cache on the UK mainland (excluding NI). It is 27.2 miles from the closest cache.

Disregarding virtuals, and multis with spoof co-ordinates, the most isolated UK cache might be this one. (33.5 miles)

 

The loneliest cache in mainland Ireland seems to be here (24.2 miles) It's the only one in the county.

 

If you disallow offshore caches in the UK, then working out which... <pauses>

 

I need to get out more.

I Think I Can See Texas From Up Here (36.7 miles)?

Not in the UK, but this cache must be one of the most -remote- GC9734

I like the line in that DNF log: "I got as close as 350 miles."

I like the map!

Again, not in the UK but I think this one Gokyo Ri takes some beating for remoteness.

 

And difficulty.

 

And terrain.

Now there's a 5/5 cache which deserves it's rating! Another one to go on my 'to do when teleportation has been perfected' list.

That ones been on my watchlist for a while now. Only 61 people watching it so not many really. Isn't there a TB placed on one of the magnetic pole markers ? cant find the cache at the moment but i know iv'e seen the listing somewhere. The South pole has a virtual cache.

Not truely remote in distance but it has something in the height dept. No finders to date....Rakers of the lost ark. GCJ9HJ.

That did make me chuckle a bit too... kinda like giving up on a cache in scotland before you get out of the M25 circle

Wow, long description, just reading it made me feel tired... sounds dead romantic though, if you like that sort of thing... I doubt I could convince my girl friend to go on this one though She likes the dif 1 ter 1 caches, the sort where you can drive up to it

Now that's what I call a challenge. I had thought of placing a cache series along the Great Wall of China!

The most Northerly "traditional" cache I've run across is As North As It Gets which has had a couple of finders.

 

The most Southerly is Chilly Willy . Before you go find this one check the one finder log as the cache isn't where it was originally placed .
