<P>I remember checking out something similar some time ago, but it seemed to be restricted to the UK, however this one seems to be open to all. I think their primary aim is to try to help out disabled cachers, which is a commendable motive in itself, but it does offer a more detailed means of describing caches and that may be of benefit to the rest of us as well.
<P>
I've added a link on one of my caches if you want to check it out -

Anyone tried accessability rating their caches?

Re: Anyone tried accessability rating their caches?
I haven't used the logo but I have used the ratings and have put a link to the site on a couple of my caches. It was the middle of 2005 when I first found the site after a GC forum discussion on it.
Had a look at it one time but didn't go ahead with rating any of my caches when I couldn't find an answer there as to how high/low above the ground a cache should be to call "Wheelchair" accessible.
Poll here asking if people would use it if it was integrated somewhat with gca.

Found the Handicaching site ages ago but have only recently learnt to do the html thingy so I have now got a link on all my caches to the rating on Handicaching. I don't use the logo style link though.
I find it a more accurate rating system and the site covers people with different types of disabilities and is not just for the wheelchair bound.

I have rated some of my caches, but I don't think I've added the URL.
