A new idea is born for a geocaching series!
To place a new geocache and name it after the British grid reference square it is placed in. I am going to start it with in the centre of England - Meriden. It will be called Geosquare SP2382.
Here's some ideas I've had:-
Anyone can add to the series.
Only one such cache per square km.
Levels:
Geosquare Pioneer Level 1 = five or more Geosquare cache hides
Geosquare Explorer Level 1 = five or more Geosquare cache finds
Normal geocaching placement guidelines must be adhered to. Don't compromise on safety.
It won't always be possible to place a cache in a particular square because of:
- Private land.
- Cache saturation
Geosquare Series Games:
Can we join up squares with caches in? For example:-
- From the top to the bottom or east to west of the SP region.
- From Meriden to the sea?
If you place a cache 1 point.
If you place a cache in adjacent to a square that already has a Geosquare cache you get 2 points.
If you place a cache in adjacent to 2 squares that already have a Geosquare cache you get 3 points.
(Some software development would be needed here I think)
The private land conundrum:-
Maybe that could be got around by saying a Puzzle Cache could be set based on what is in that square e.g. Birmingham Airport, but the final would be on an adjacent square (discuss).
