What is a challenge cache?
A challenge cache requires seekers to find an associated physical cache, and to find an additional set of geocaches as defined by the challenge owner. Challenge caches encourage cachers to set and achieve fun goals.
Introduction to the Series
Challenge caches are supposed to challenge you!
While this seems to be obvious, most challenge caches are written for cachers that have been playing for quite a while. A calendar year's worth of mysteries for a new starter who has barely tried puzzles, is not a challenge, it is impossible.
This small series is to introduce you to the concept of challenges, and get you used to using checkers, and working out what you need to do to complete a challenge.
Hopefully this will ease you into the more challenging challenges.
All of these challenges can be completed with the caches placed around Rutherglen.
The challenge cache can be found at the listed co-ordinates and the logbook can be signed, however a found log cannot be listed until the challenge is completed and proof offered. This is done by using the checker on the cache page. This is a link to ProjectGC, who will review your statistics and show you if you comply with the challenge's requirements.
What is an EarthCache?
An EarthCache is a special place that people can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature or aspect of our Earth. EarthCaches include a set of educational notes and the details about where to find the location. Visitors to EarthCaches can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage the resources and how scientists gather evidence to learn about the Earth.
Earthcaches are a variation on the Virtual Cache that involves completion of a geology-related lesson while on-site, as opposed to just grabbing a piece of information. Many times, the lessons involve gathering information by performing a task. There is no container to find in the end. But your answers must be sent to the Cache Owner for checking.
OK, enough waffle, what do I have to do?
To complete this challenge you must sign the log and find:
One EarthCache
Use the following checker to see if you comply:
