It doesn't matter whether you are in a clan or not. It's probably the latest css file which is not being displayed. Ctrl-F5 and get the latest css file to display the image maybe?

Aha, they are now green. Thanks.

(I would still have swapped "image - number" to "number - image" to keep the flow in the same place when you scroll up/down)

> Find and log any GCA or GC physical cache that has the word hockey, stick or /puck/ in the cache name to claim this requirement.

That is ice hockey, not grass hockey :-)

Would a GA moveable where the cache is the bike count?

If it's my moveable you're thinking off, a picture of you riding would be amusing.

Regarding Challenge 28 The Olympic Rings. "Find and log any GCA or GC physical geocache where the words red, green, blue, black or yellow appear in the name of the geocache to claim this requirement."

Does the word have to be stand alone or can it form part of another word in the geocache name - in the same manner as the word requirement is specified in Challenges 6 & 13?

Many thanks

I've found you put the claim in, it gets accepted or rejected. It's the best way to answer any questions if you've already found it.

I've discovered no amount of planning can help when there has been an abundance of rain. So far I've missed 4 planned caches due to pooling and flooding. One I even walked through nearly knee deep water for over 50m just to get a DNF. Was fun though.

No, in this instance the word must be stand alone.....

Can you claim 12 Golf and 36 Golf or is it one or the other?

You can claim both over the course of the game, however like all claims, you can't claim the requirements on the same cache......

Hmm well because I only found my first cache 25th July 2016 and I cannot for the life of me navigate around forums and because it is a game kind of question I thought I would just ask here. If I wanted to hide a cache for GCA olympics how quickly is it up and running? Would I make it in time for the challenges if I did one tonight or tomorrow and filled in the hider form? A geo Australia cache that is. :griffin

Welcome!

The moment you have logged the new cache as "Published" it is available for everybody to get.

Rowing- if the cache is a multi and GZ is withing 50m of the edge of a water way, is this ok? Or must the published coords of the multi be 50 m from the edge?
