Challenge caches are a special type of geocache that require finders to fulfill a Geocaching-related qualification before the actual Challenge cache can be logged as found.
There are a number of challenge caches published that require the finding of caches of various terrain, difficulty, points, within areas, types etc, but few that require the finding of a set of caches with-in a set time frame. I thought it would be challenging to create a cache that required a set of caches to be found within a set time frame i.e. 1 day but still be open enough that it can be accomplished anywhere, and at any time the cacher chooses.
Hence this cache was born.
The Challenge
To qualify to log this cache on-line as “FOUND IT” you must have found at least 8 caches where each cache is of a different type (icon).
Each qualifying cache must be logged as “Found It”
Each qualifying cache must have been found and logged on any one calendar day (ie:- within 24 hours (1440 minutes) ie:- between 00:00AM to 24:00PM) of any given day of your choosing..
The Difficulty/Terrain rating listed (4/2) is reflective of the task required to qualify, it is not the D/T of the physical cache.
The physical cache is hidden at the given co-ordinated and itself has a D/T rating of 2.0/1.5
It is a Regular plastic container, painted black and camouflaged.
Forward planning is strongly advised
The Guidelines
1) All finds must be new finds. Re-visiting and claiming previously found (and logged as “Found It”) caches is not allowed.
2) This challenge is readily achievable with sufficient caches within reasonable distance of the listed cache.
Alternatively you may choose your own location anywhere in the world,.
3) If you have co-indecently completed the requirements of challenge in the past, then, if you wish, the logs for those caches qualify as completing the challenge.
However, why not challenge yourself again with a new set of qualifying caches found since this cache was published. Go on – do it again, just for fun!!
4) You may only log this Challenge as “FOUND IT” if you have completed successfully the Challenge, and signed the physical log book.
5) You do not have to sign the log book on the same day as you complete the challenge.
6) If you wish, you may include this physical cache as one of you finds contributing towards the Challenge, as long as it is done so in the same 1440 minute day as the other qualifying finds.
7) Any “Found It” logs by geocachers where the qualifications of this cache have not been met will be quietly deleted.
8) When writing your on-line “Found It” log, please list the 8 (or more) qualifying caches in the following manner (for easier checking).
[Date found & logged]
[GC Code] – [Cache Name] – [Cache Type]
[GC Code] – [Cache Name] – [Cache Type]
etc.
9) Alternatively, you may include a link to a shared bookmark list of your qualifying caches.
Have a fun, have a challenging 8 in 1440
