Geocache Description:




This is both a normal Geocache and a Confluence Point.

Please bring a pen to log your visit.

Now you may ask yourselves, what is this Confluence Point. A confluence is defined as a flowing together; a meeting place (often of rivers). In our case a degree confluence is the exact spot where an integer degree of latitude and an integer degree of longitude meet, such as 35°00'00"N 34°00'00"E. The project uses the WGS84 datum to define the confluence location. It is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. Confluences in the oceans and some near the poles are discounted, but there are still 10,804 to be found.

If you want to log your visit on the confluence site, http://confluence.org, have a look at their rules. For instance, they expect you to submit 4 photos from the confluence, taken in the four cardinal compass directions (north, south, east, west) and one of the general area taken within 100 meters of the confluence, (no people or belongings included). In addition, take one photo of your GPS showing the WGS84 position.


If you don't want to do that, no matter, just start looking for the cache and good luck.


We have caches in the two confluence points situated on Cyprus dry land. The other one is at 35°00'00"N 33°00'00"E. There are a couple in the sea as well, but we didn't like getting our feet wet. When you have found both the dry ones, send us a photo of yourselves taken at those points. Unlike the confluence.org we like people.
