That’s frustrating.

Looking at the app, there are a few new ones out now. They’re all rated 5 star 

Some more Adventure Lab developments. Geocaching organisations have been offered another Adventure Lab credit (for 10 Labs).

Apparently they are adding ratings to the app - that's good, so that if you put a lot of time and effort into it, you get rewarded (like favourite points).

From what I gather, Adventure Labs seem popular. People have embraced them, attempted them and there seems to be enthusiasm surrounding them. It looks like the 'experiment' has been a success.

My personal opinion is that they're too separate from geocaching itself: there's little to no integration with geocaching. com and the geocaching app (except them adding to your find count). It was different when Lab caches existed for the duration of a Mega event - Adventure Labs stay in place for 6 months (or more), so they should be more integrated: size (as some people are placing actual containers), Difficulty/Terrain (How difficult are these containers to find/how difficult is it to access the find code? Are they wheelchair accessible or is special equipment required?) and how about the option of writing a log entry? Then there's the fact that they do not appear on the geocaching. com map. If Adventure Labs are in place for months, at least, shouldn't their start point (or all locations) be shown on the map?! They cannot be searched for. They are not reviewed, in the case of Virtual Labs, so there is no form of quality control (wasn't that the reason Groundspeak grandfathered the Virtual cache type?).

I don't know where they're going with Adventure Labs, but I just hope they address some of the above and make them part of geocaching - a proper cache type - not a separate game that happens to increase your GC find count.

Congrats, looking forward to seeing what you do with it 

Saw the notification, what a great place for a Virtual.

I’m stuck in Cambridge for a couple more weeks now, so I’ll find it when I get back 

Fantastic, well done @Wrighty - I look forward to finding it 

Anyone else? I wasn’t successful.

Now THIS is something I’m exited about and think is worth doing

Interesting to hear on the GCHQ podcast that they considered doing this with Webcams, but decided not to because of privacy laws.

Yes, the GAGB one went live last night 

I think the only way to find out if they’ve been published is to keep checking the app. The ‘Welcome to Devon’ one looks good, as there are physical containers as well as virtuals (most of the ones on the app so far are just virtuals).

One problem with the virtual ones is armchair logging. I heard the Nottingham one was completed by loads of German cachers as some of the answers could be found on Google. They’ve since tweaked it, and Groundspeak have retired the web player, so in theory it should mean that it can only be completed in the field as you need to be using the app.
