Geocache Description:


Welcome to my very first geocache hide!
To kick things off, I’ve decided to place a challenge cache – one that celebrates globetrotting and geocaching history all in one.


The Challenge

To log this cache as a find, you must have found the oldest active cache in two different countries.

That’s it. No need for high difficulty ratings or climbing gear. Just a love of travel, willingness to look, and a knack for tracking down the classics.

Whether it’s Lane Cove in Australia, Hidden Beauty Spot in Laborador Nature Reserve in Singapore, or a well-loved relic hidden somewhere in Europe, if you’ve got two old-timers in your found list from two different nations, you qualify.

You can find out if you qualify by:

  • Checking your stats on your geocaching profile

  • Searching for country-specific “oldest cache” lists

  • Using the challenge checker below


About the Cache

The physical cache is at the posted coordinates and can be signed anytime. However, please only log a find online after meeting the challenge requirement. If you’re working on it or just checking it out, you’re welcome to write a note.

Cache contains only a logbook. Nothing fancy, just a quiet little spot waiting to be discovered. Please bring your own pen.


  • Please rehide as found

  • No spoilers in your log, please

Thanks for checking out this cache. Safe travels, and happy hunting!
