I'm not playing for a sheep station, or for a pathtag for that matter, so wherever we finish on the ladder is unimportant to us. We're just enjoying the fun it's added to our regular geocaching. :D

Clarification for event 19 in which a multi-cache with 5 or more waypoints are needed. Would a night cache count when you have to follow 20+ fire tacks to GZ?

Hi are moveables and trigs considered physical caches as you have to actually go there to find and/or take photo? If I publish a history cache is this considered physical as well as you have to go to coords?

Thanks for setting this up, having fun deciding what to do when and where.

Moveables and trigs are physical caches, but alas, history caches are not.

Hope that helps you plan your adventures.....

Sorry, that would be a no. Must be a multi with 5 or more actual waypoints.

Ok, another question. I just went to log a couple of caches that I got first to find on and it said not a known cache as they were GC caches. I see a previous post says something very technical about importing them. If I just wait a couple of days, I should be able to put the claim in then as long as I claim within 7 days?

Yes, as long as you log within 7 days of your find date all will be good. It is also an easy process to import the cache yourself......check the wiki on how to do that.....it will speed up your claim by a day or two.

Does Finska count as a sport for number 11 - Football?

Sorry, the only message I've seen is about the 1500m. Is that the one you are referring to? If so, we've actioned it as requested. With the amount of e-mails received, we haven't reply to each request or claim, just actioned them.

As for Finska.........it's not really a sport, so sorry, no it doesn't count.

Oh, well it doesn't seem to have worked then as the claim is still there when I go to http://geocaching.com.au/dragonzone/gam ... 16/claims/ :-k

Question on #6 Boxing: the listed requirement is for the word 'ring' would the word 'box' be acceptable?
