All sizes are clearly marked, if you do not like Micros; then DONT DO THEM!
I like some micros how do you suggest i find out if i will like them without visiting them ? royal crescent bath is a micro where no other size will do and the crescent is quite a thing to bring you to,menai bridge micro great location and an ingenious hide again a micro with your ignore advice id never of seen those
Groundspeak make it very easy for us to select our caches to find,
No they dont how do i work out what the view is or the structure etc from container size and d and t and the description?
some micro's are very cleverly hidden and more difficult to find than an ammo box in the only tree in the field. Maybe that's why certain cachers don't like them?
yes they can be well done, however having been to few micros where the area has been trampled and ruined by searching cachers this is more about appropriate placements than micros.
This series is open to individual interpretation, but essentially, they should highlight a church and it's history to encourage at least a quick look inside/around before hunting the cache. Not many logs reflect that, but some cache pages are very informative and do just what caching should be all about, encourage you to visit an interesting location which you may not have visited otherwise.
Excellent approach and one i would encourage after all church cache no 1 or church cache no40 is hardly worth reading on a cache page . A good description describing why the cache was placed whats of interest etc goes a long way
And another point I must make here, Churches are places of worship and remembrance, out of courtesy to some greiving relatives it may be more prudent to have a cache placed a discreet distance away rather than in full view. Kehotee's Macro guidelines of 10m of Church precincts, regular sized and wheelchair accessible will be a challenge to HIDE, rather more easy to find I should think!
After a few incidents last year these rules were written by groundspeak for all reviewers of caches in churchyards
Interestingly, there are over 750 Church Micro's already placed, and with over 20,000 find by over 3,000 cachers, it seems not everyone thinks the same way as Kehotee.
Thank goodness
Last time i checked number of finds did not indicate the quality of a cache it just shows how many people have found it.
Ive bolded the key point for me above. Appropriate placement is the key.
