btreviewer: Esta cache foi arquivada por falta de uma resposta atempada e/ou adequada perante as situações relatadas. Relembro a secção das guidelines sobre a manutenção http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=307#maint :

[quote]
You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time – normally a few weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Because of the effort required to maintain a geocache, we ask that you place physical caches in your usual caching area and not while on a vacation or business trip. It is best when you live within a manageable distance from the cache placements to allow for return visits. Geocaches placed during travel may not be published unless you are able to demonstrate an acceptable maintenance plan, which must allow for a quick response to reported problems. An acceptable maintenance plan might include the username of a local geocacher who will handle maintenance issues in your absence.[/quote]

Como owner, se tiver planos para recolocar a cache, por favor, contacte-me por [url=http://www.geocaching.com/email/?u=btreviewer]e-mail[/url].

Lembro que a eventual reactivação desta cache passará pelo mesmo processo de análise como se fosse uma nova cache, com todas as implicações que as guidelines actuais indicam.

Se no local existe algum container, por favor recolha-o a fim de evitar que se torne lixo (geolitter).

Obrigado

Geocache Description:





O palácio

Construído no século XX, pelo arquitecto Thomas Henry Wyatt.
Com uma arquitectura civil e residencial, o Palácio tem paredes autoportantes, numa construção em alvenaria mista e de tijolo,  com cantaria de calcário e madeira.
Isolado pelo gradeamento que cerca o recinto,  na zona ribeirinha, o Palácio ergue-se  sobre o promontório rochoso.
É uma das construções mais visíveis para quem circula por Cascais e desperta especial atenção sobretudo pela cobertura de telha negra com múltiplas águas.
A arquitectura usada permite que o edifício mantenha a sua imponência, independentemente do ângulo de visão, chegando mesmo a colocar-se a questão sobre de que lado está a fachada principal.
O monumento é propriedade privada.

A Praia da Duquesa
A praia da Duquesa, à entrada de Cascais, situa-se no troço final do paredão, entre o Palácio dos Duques de Palmela e o Chalet Faial. O nome da praia deve-se precisamente ao facto de ter sido usada pela duquesa de Palmela, durante as estadias da nobreza em Cascais.

The palace

Built in the twentieth century by the architect Thomas Henry Wyatt.
With a residential and civic architecture, the palace has freestanding walls, a construction joint in masonry and brick, with ashlar limestone and wood.
Isolated by the railing surrounding the enclosure, on the waterfront, the Palace stands on the rocky promontory.
It is one of the buildings more visible to those who circulates Cascais and attracts attention especially for covering a roof with multiple black waters.
The architecture allows the building used to maintain its monumentality, regardless of viewing angle, and even put the question on which side is the main facade.
The monument is privately owned.

The  Duquesa Beach
The beach of the Duchess, the entry of Cascais is located in the final section of the wall, between the Palace of the Dukes of Palmela Chalet and Faial. The beach's name is due precisely to the fact that it was used by the Duchess of Palmela, the nobility during the stay in Cascais.
