Geocache Description:


 

 

The Channel Island Archipelago , is home to many travellers.  Wherever I am in the world I regularly meet random strangers who also call our little islands home.

Accordingly I decided to make this challenge cache for travelling cachers.

This is a CHALLENGE cache, and is NOT at the published co-ordinates, the final location is in the waypoints below. You can only log a find if you complete the challenge criteria. If you do not qualify you may sign the logbook but only log the cache as 'write note' - If you qualify at a later date you may then add a 'found it' log.

To Qualify for this challenge You will need to have visited 4 different countries, and have found caches of 4 cache types in each.
Countries are Caching countries as defined by Groundspeak, they may differ slightly from the UN list of countries.
Cache types, are 'traditional, multi, unknown, letterbox hybrid, event, WhereiGo, earthcache, virtual and so on' as defined by Groundspeak. (Lab caches are excluded)
There is no time limit,  You may count Guernsey as one of your countries so long as you have found 4 different cache types.

Bonus kudos points (I.E. give yourself an extra pat on the back) if you can qualify by only using island nations. (Eg, Guernsey, Jersey, Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Man etc)

I've selected the 'significant hike' icon to reflect that the terrain will dictate a much slower walking speed than normal.
