Cache Types: All caches in the series are Letterbox Hybrids each containing a hand carved letterboxing stamp and an ink pad. All are fairly simple to find but hints are also available.

FPW - I’ve used the Wilson Score Interval method to rate caches by favourite points. This is far better than a simple count or average as it takes into account the total number of finds. It does not include logs from basic members.
