There are obviously benefits/downfalls to cachers either way, depending on where, how and why the caches are being searched for!
We are really looking forward to doing Skir Hill – haven’t had the time available yet! Soon as we do we’ll be there!
We’ve put numbers on our series to indicate that they are just that – in a series and in what order they should be done either numerically going up or down depending which way people want to walk. If you didn’t give them a number they would all have to have different names and it may be more easy to miss one on a route maybe? We used to put the number at the end and then put it at the beginning after reading somewhere several comments about it being easier to find the next cache to do when walking a route if the name starts with the number rather than it being at the end. This was because if the name is long and the number is at the end it isn’t visible immediately on some GPS screens. This may be why more people name them that way now. It was the reason we did anyway!
A Wherigo is a slightly different way of caching that allows, sometimes with a bit of imagination, to walk a route as part of a story or with questions along the way. We have done a couple now and once the Wherigo app has been downloaded (we have used both a smart phone and an iPad) it is quite easy to download the relevant cartridge and away you go. For the Houndtor whereto you will need to go to the first waypoint and once you are within a few feet you will be given an imaginary task, which is fulfilled by getting within a few feet of each waypoint. Eventually the ‘story’ ends at the final cache location where you will find a traditional cache to log. We have also done one just outside Launceston where we had to answer questions along the way. We have certainly had great fun doing them.
Totally agree. Having found just short of 4000 caches we have never asked for clues to where a cache is if we can’t find it, nor do we do puzzle caches without solving them ourselves, and all of them we have physically found the cache. We get great pleasure in a find, particularly if it’s taken us a few attempts. For example your Red Herring Trail took many visits to complete but we found it in the end and had great satisfaction. There are a few caches that we have looked for on more than one occasion but are still yet to find them, but we will persevere. This is the way we enjoy geocaching, but everyone is different, but certainly it must be more satisfying to have genuinely ‘found it’ yourself?
Thanks for all the help but am still really confused. I have edited my listing inserting the following (which I have enclosed in {brackets}, but still no image. I have the jpeg on my C: drive so the easiest way would be use this. However, I am using your suggestion, linking it to a website but it is not working <div class=”UserSuppliedContent”>
