“Temporarily Disable Listing

05/Sep/2012

Searchers do start at the listed coords, so this should be a multicache type.

One of the main requirements for a geocache is that, to quote the guidelines, “although it is possible to find a cache without a GPS, the option of using accurate GPS coordinates as an integral part of the cache hunt must be demonstrated for all physical cache submissions.”

The problem with this type of reflector-based multicache is that there’s no GPS usage beyond getting to the rough starting area, where one starts shining a torch around to find the first reflector. That’s not “accurate GPS coords” and, after that, the GPSr is only useful to find where the car’s parked once the cache is found!

There’s ways to fix this, though, including having a waypoint with the GZ’s coords at the end of the reflector trail or using patterns or numbers of reflectors to generate coords for the GZ. I’d be happy to hear of other suggestions for including accurate GPS coords as well.

I’ve made this listing inactive for the time being, to get it off the review queue.
When you’re ready for me to have another look at it, edit the cache and tick the “Yes, this cache is currently active” box to re-activate it.
