Wow, I didn’t expect them to take that sort of action

It’s good that they have though, as it sends the right sort of message. Hopefully people log it properly from now on.

It’ll be great to eventually look back through the logs to see all the positive efforts that have been made all over the world.

I made the error of adding it to my Watchlist a while ago, so there were hundreds of logs in my inbox yesterday  - I spotted yours

I nearly did that but thought of all the messages you would suddenly get!

Decided I would claim this locationless cache on the first day you could, 6th Feb 21 and make it my 9000th find 

The bus shelter near home has been in need of a clean for ages, in fact it's been bugging me, mentioned it to the Parish Council who should be looking after it but they weren't interested So I rolled up my sleeves and with some warm soapy water, got to it 

Had some one directing me to bits I had missed

This HQ-owned cache provides a unique opportunity to contribute to environmental improvement and protection efforts in a way that’s most meaningful and safe for you.

This Locationless Cache is available to log February 6, 2021 through December 31, 2021. Here are the logging requirements:

• Include one (1) photo of yourself or a personal item with the results of your outdoor improvement effort.

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.
