The Topics


Location
Where can/can't you place a geocache? Geocaches radius rules. The different type of geocaches, what do they all mean?

Coordinates
Giving accurate coordinates to finders on your geocaches is important. How do you do this? 

Permissions
Some geocaches require landowner's permission, How will I know if I need this? How do I get it?

Cache Page
How to format (make it look pretty), what need's to be on the page, adding images, links etc. 

Submitting for Review
Reviewers they're a friendly bunch, but what do they need to know? What will they challenge? 

Being a Cache Owner
It's a responsiblity, maintenance is key, changes that can be made after published.

Geocaching on Apps
There are plenty of devices/apps that you can go geocaching with. We personally only use Cachly so will share some tricks/tips for using this.
