September Challenge 2017

Hopefully we all get a bit out of our caching activities on whichever sites we cache on. The September Challenge is about putting something back.

The main bit of the Challenge is to log or make a note (if you have already logged it) on JASTA 11's Trash it Out Locationless cache LC8447 or log his Leave No Trace CC6L4 Cyber cache if you have not already logged it. On visiting one of my (speak it very quietly) GC.com caches The Nelson Challenge which generally gets great reviews because of it's location I noticed some empty bottles and cans lying around, so I am making it a priority to get back there with a carrier bag to Trash it Out ASAP.

The "little bit extra" this month, also along the lines of putting a bit back is to introduce someone new to geo/terracaching (I took a group of kids out this evening from our village youth club on their first geocache hunt- they enjoyed it enough that I've been asked back in a couple of weeks time) or/and PM your TC sponsor and thank them briefly for their sponsorship or/and sponsor a new Terracacher. One out of three is acceptable. As Meatloaf would say "Two out of Three Ain't Bad". Three out of Three would be

JASTA 11 Bridgewater 9/22/2017

We were out for a short paddle the other day and practiced a little Trash It Out along the way:

That red thing with the Leave No Trace hat on it is a fire extinguisher. (The hat wasn't counted as trash)

My contribution this month is a little late but hopefully worthwhile. I posted the following on Jasta 11's TIO cache.

Walking Monty, my big Golden Retriever, near my home and doing a bit of cache maintenance too. Amazed how much rubbish I collected within about half a mile of home which is out on the country well away from major roads or population centres. I will definitely carry a bag with me again to do my bit in cleaning up the mess others leave.

I sponsored a new member from Canada - Terratracker. And I thnaked my great sponsor - the amazing WindpumpBoy. Roll on October!

Whilst I have failed at the last couple of months' challenges, but will still strive to put something forward towards each of them as soon as I can, I am still interested in the "little bit extra of this month". In the past I have gotten others interested in Teracaching via 'Cotswold Caching'. A few of my members, or those who have attended Cotswold Caching events have signed up to Terracaching, and one or two have gone on to find a TC or LC or few.

But of late I have become a lonestar, and have influenced very few to other types of caching.

I was wondering how others have gotten on with this part of the challenge. Any tips on recruiting new TCers appreciated. Being from the UK it is even more difficult than being in the US as there are so few UK TC trads out there.

My ears are open

	Alphabet member name challenge
	Looking for some help locating an LC or CC cache, where the challenge is to find a cache for letter of the alphabet, where it is the first letter of the CO's name that is needed for each letter. For example, I could find a cache (any type) from Cash108 for "C", one from Skramble for "S", etc. I star... read more

	December 2017 Challenge
	December. The last month of the 2017 Challenge. This is amnesty month. If you have failed to reach the challenge requirements for any of the previous months challenges you may have a go to fulfil them this month, but must not use the same cache to fulfil different months challenges. The main Decemb... read more

	November 2017 Challenge
	This month's challenge is very much a 'Flip-flop' of last months. If you completed last months challenge of either logging or finding each of a LC, CC and TC, this month you must do it the other way around . i.e if you found a traditional cache last month, you must place one this month. If you place... read more

One Traditional, One Locationless and One Cyber or '111' to give the magic number related to Nelson. They may be finds or hides or a combination. The little bit... read more

	June Challenge 2017
	When on holiday I do like to find a cache or two. But more importantly (I think) I like to experience the places we visit. So with this in mind the June challenge is to hide a traditional cache. It can have a logbook or be a virtual, the choice is yours. However it must be placed at a location that ... read more
