Birdie's Peach Jar Challenge 2
By: StickBouncer Date: November 23, 2012, 2:39 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I have something in production for Birdie's Peach Jar Challenge
2 but a question to all you potential voters.
What is your idea of a fun cache?
A traditional with an element of humour or surprise
An engaging multi
A multi with puzzles, challenging features and twists that will
challenge you and probably take a couple of hours to complete.
Yes this is what I am thinking of but if it runs the risk of not
getting enough votes then I would like to know which way I
should go.:con
Feedback Please.
What ever I go for will be released on Christmas day in order to
stand a chance of max voters,

Oo, never heard of this... Can you please clarify what it is,
I'd want to vote ;D
I think I like the sound of a multi with puzzles and twists
along the way taking a few hours.. You could do a really fun
one with a Christmasy theme to it too ;D

"A traditional with an element of humour or surprise" <-- I
think this, for that particular challenge / competition.
I say that because I believe you will get a lot more visits, and
so more votes, than some other types of caches.
But for myself, my preferences are caches with a bit of a
physical challenge, or walks to quiet rarely visited places.

I was thinking of having a go myself, but I don't have anything
really clever in mind at this moment.

Due to my mental health issues wacky ideas and caches are
something I come up with a lot and make reality (what ever that
is) if you want help let me know. I am even willing to build
crazy puzzle caches for others. Mainly because I have just about
filled everywhere near enough for me to get to and am still
building stuff with no where for it to go.
I still think I will go for the complicated one as I have a
woods I can use and without giving too much away it will involve
a puzzle filled multi that can only be done in daylight and part
2 will have to be done at night with a cunning twist at the end(
Just because I am cruel and Nasty, )
Thanks SangueG for posting the link to the Challenge. I still
can not get my head round technology.

I like engaging Multis but also have done some multis with
several sections i.e. puzzles, a night section but these are
near impossible for visiting cachers unless they are on holiday
in the area.
I also like - dare I say it - Wherigos :o It's just a real shame
groundspeak seems to have abandoned them in a state that is far
from perfect :'(

I enjoy Wherigo caches too - as long as the CO has tested it
properly ;) :D I agree that it's a shame Groundspeak has
decided to put them aside for now... And not many people place
them anyway, because it's such a complicated process. It would
be nice if they put a bit more effort into cachers making them
an easier process, and cachers playing them also an easier, and
more fun, process :o

Being only a simple Luddite. The technology for a wherigo is
beyond my understanding I would love to have a go at setting one
up as they do sound like fun and Norwich only has one but have
neither the equipment nor understanding to do so.

My better half is going to pick me up a jar from Tesco this
morning. I've decided I will join the fun and hide one, but mine
will not be published on Christmas day, probably be another week
or so before it is.

There's a jar hidden in the Cotswolds now waiting publication ;D
Hopefully it will pass without issues, although it looks I may
have a bit longer wait than normal because of the time of year.
I have gone for a fairly easy hide of traditional type, to try
to acquire a good amount of finds. And to try to boost the
points a little for the 'fun factor' vote I have picked an
interesting location.. well at least I think it is :D We'll see
how it goes.
