Cyprus

Maintenance plan

If you do place a geocache while traveling, you must have a maintenance plan. For example, a local geocacher agrees to maintain the cache in your absence. When you submit your cache, document your plan in a Reviewer Note. Include the local geocacher’s username, email address, and written consent. Information in Reviewer Notes will auto-archive on publication and will not be available to other players.

Below are a few additional points to take in consideration when submitting your listing.

Cache Containers

Decent quality plastic or weatherproof metal containers is preferred

DO NOT USE

• Biodegradable plastic containers

• Glass containers

• Take away food contains

• Plastic bags

Events

•  Tour groups and vacation cache events  will be limited with the amount of events issued during their vacation. There are currently only a handful of cachers resident on the island and numerous caches by cruises and tour groups  devalue the  ethos of an event . These events due to the sheer number of them are not often attended by any locals and become CO and group only events.

• NO EVENTS at airports or port areas as per guielines.

• Events in Northern Cyprus are normally only granted on a one off basis as it has shown their are no cachers there and historically are only CO events.

• Events within a 10km radius and 24 hour period from any other event will not be granted.
