227: What is it like to archive a series of geocaches?

This evening we archived our first cache series: Flash & Grubbly’s Globberdyke Tour. This was a 3 mile route of 13 caches and a bonus around Gomersal and Cleckheaton. It had been out for just over 3 years and the full route had been completed by 72 cachers altogether – not bad going – most recently completed in April.

It’s a sad feeling to have them taken away from the map to be honest, but they had had their time.

The change in the route over the last 3 years has been remarkable. There have been new houses build along the route, nettles large enough to hide tigers in have grown and a few of the caches had migrated a few feet from their original placement.

We have visited them a few times over the years to make sure they were ok, to replace the logs and to keep them active for other people, but – and this is the secret thing I’ve been alluding to over the past few weeks – we have plans for a new series to put out. That is the main plan for tomorrow: get these new caches out and active!
