New cache just released. I have been here many, many times and I
know the answers. Do I need to re-visit it after the publication
date or can I just claim it with my historic knowledge.
Your thoughts???

Go for it!
But DON'T admit you've answered without visiting to do the
cache. ;D
(You can admit to knowing/having visited the area previously,
but why try to 'pull the wool'?)
I'm surprised they didn't ask for a photo, even though they are
optional these days. ::)

It's difficult with Earthcaches/Virutals, I personally treat
them like normal caches so if it were me I'd go to the location
again.
But that's just my own view, and if you want to claim it there's
nothing stopping you! You have been there before after all.

What I've done with different listing sites, if the same
physical cache which I've already found and sign, then appears
on an alternative site some time later. I've re-visited the
cache and re-signed for the new listing on a different listing
site.
So, if it was me, I would re-visit but have all the answers
ready to send, so you could do it instantly after visiting the
last location (if you are after a FTF).
But do it after the 9th, as I need a FTF on that date :P
But seriously, it is how you feel about it and how you like to
play the game. We know some cachers would try and claim it from
an arm chair if they could, having never visited the site :o
If you are not after the FTF, it would make a good excuse to
re-visit on a lovely sunny warm day :)

I did it today, the sign that contains the sheet that gives you
the info has been removed. However, despite that, Dave did
allow me to claim it as I was able to provide the answers with
out the sign.
I did go up to the K & Q stones and take a picture, I took a
picture of the stone by the barrier and a couple more at Cherry
Tree Quarry just in case there were any questions. It was a
lovely morning and a pleasure to be on the hill...
What you do is up to you though ;)

A newly published cache, and already the/one of the signs that
provide answers is missing? :o

Outside the CO's control unfortunately! Dave has been up there
three times to research the cache and the info, which is in a
lockable cabinet, was there on his last visit. Just unfortunate
I guess...

Here's another issue that falls under the thread subject:
I searched for a cache and was joined by another cacher, hoping
we may get a FTF. It turns out that the brand new cache had gone
before anyone had chance to find it.
The CO has checked and it had gone :(
So as compensation to the cachers who didn't find it the two
days it was active, the CO has offered that we can log it as a
Joint FTF.
Do you log it?

As far as I am concerned I will answer your question with
another question
Did you sign the log book?
