HELP - Need Geocaches published by Saturday 13th


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,

 

My name is Kenneth McElroy, and I am the Wild North Festival Project Co-ordinator for 2014. The Wild North Festival is a charity and community project run by the North Highland Initiative and the Heritage Lottery Fund. The festival is a series of events and activities which are designed to promote the culture, nature and history of the north Highlands of Scotland. You can learn more about the Wild North Festival here: https://www.facebook.com/WildNorthFestival

 

I intended to create a 'geocache adventure' as part of the Wild North Festival for 2014, in order to encourage people to get out and explore their area. I have just submitted my first geocache, hidden at Dunbeath, and I will create 7 more along the Highland coast as part of this event.

 

I have just noted now, however, that it can take upto 7 days for a geocache to become active. I did not realize this when creating the geocache adventure - the adventure is due to start on Saturday 13th September.

 

To this end, I was wondering if it would be possible to 'fast-track' the process and have these geocaches reviewed / published' by tomorrow? We would be incredibly grateful as we would not want to disappoint anyone taking part in the geocache adventure.

 

If you have any questions or comments please contact me on kenneth@north-highlands.co.uk

 

Kind regards,

 

Ken

Thanks folks - I have contacted 2 reviewers. But it's now not letting me create further geocaches! The 'Continue' button is greyed out. Why might this be?

Assuming you're creating the page at a computer and not on a mobile device, a likely cause is that you have not confirmed your cache's position on the map.

The problem may lie in the words "hit enter." Did you also click on the "Preview on Map" button, next to the coordinate input box? The "Continue" button will not be clickable until you have confirmed that you looked at the map. This is because of the very high numbers of cache submissions made at incorrect coordinates.

I wanted to suggest LORGADH as reviewer or certainly as helpful person to advise. His/her (I think it is her but not sure) Area is highland but don't know how far north it extends.

 

You are correct (on all counts).. Lorgadh has been in contact with the OP and I believe the situation is all in hand.
