Updated 04/01/21 - England - National Lockdown
England - The UK Government on the 4th January 2021 announced new National Covid 19 Restrictions which will come into force 00:01 on the 5th January in England. In light of these new regulations, the UK Reviewing Team will suspend the publication of new caches in England from 00:01 5th January. This suspension will be reviewed when the Governments advice changes.
During this period we will also pause the cache reaping process in England. Caches that have a maintenance warning will not be actioned during this period.
There is no immediate need to disable caches, but it is of course up to each Cache Owner. We see no need to lock all caches. Please remember that it is against the Geocaching guidelines to allow a cache to be virtually logged e.g. by photo (unless a Virtual Cache). Allowing these types of logs is against the guidelines and may result in a cache being archived where it has been allowed. If you disable your caches, without removing them, you cannot delete logs if the logbook has been signed.
For further information on the English Coronavirus Guidelines, please visit the Government Website here.
Please continue to refer to this page for the latest Geocaching Publication updates during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
