The SpongeBob SquarePants Geoart Series is a collection of 130 geocaches inspired by the popular animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. Participants solve puzzles to obtain the coordinates for each cache, with questions sourced from Wikipedia and Fandom.
Overview
The entire series spans approximately 20 miles and can be divided into four smaller circular walks. The route includes pavements, public footpaths, and short stretches on single-track roads. Due to the terrain, a good pair of walking boots or wellies is recommended, especially in winter when paths can become muddy. The presence of several stiles along the route makes it unsuitable for wheelchairs or buggies.
Location
The series is located northeast outside of the M25 in Essex, primarily in the Kelvedon area. It includes villages such as Clapgate, Clatterford End, Chipping Ongar, Kelvedon Hatch, Little End, Marden Ash, Navestock Side, and Stanford Rivers. The caches are mainly situated on public footpaths, though some are along busier roads, making certain connections less suitable for walking.
Cache Details
All caches in the series are bookmarked in the SpongeBob SquarePants List. Additionally, there are opportunities to find extra caches along the route, which are listed in the SpongeBob SquarePants Extras List. Various types of containers are used, some of which are homemade. Participants are encouraged to return containers to their original hiding spots to ensure the enjoyment of future geocachers. Any issues with caches should be logged or reported to the series maintainers, who are open to replacing logs but discourage "throwdowns."
Trackables and Swag
The series includes themed trackables and swag items that have been distributed along the route.
Archival Notice
Due to maintenance challenges, the decision has been made to archive the series. The series will be archived on or after August 31, 2024. Geocachers who have solved the puzzles but not yet found the caches are given a six-month notice to complete the series. During this period, missing caches may not be replaced.
Parking and Waypoints
Several parking spots are available along the route, marked as waypoints on the series page.
