A Great April for Caching!

Now April is over, it's time to reflect on another record breaking month for yours truly;

Most find in a calendar month : 290
Most finds in a day: 84
Most finds in a weekend: 84
Most consecutive days with a find: 63 up to 24th of April

Other highlights of the month:

4 FTF's
Broke through the 1700, 1800 and 1900 barriers

Series done this month:

8 more of the March Mayhem caches
Swynnerfield Circular: 12 caches
AWebbie Wander: 12 caches
Sent2Cov series: 13 caches (still a few to do though!)
Witton Weavers Way: 65 Letterbox caches done so far, lots more to do!
Completed the Chiltern Hundred by grabbing the 5/5 Bonus cache

Not a bad month all being said. I don't think May will be as productive...but I remember saying that a month ago!

Been out today and completed the Waterside Wander series near Moira starting from the Conkers place, nice walk, good caches, 14 of 'em!

Caches found at time of posting: 1980.....not far to go to the 2000!!!!!

A Record Breaking Month Comes to an End!

My record breaking month has finally come to an end....and I've managed to achieve the following:

• Most caches in a calendar month : 270
  
• Most caches found in 1 day : 72


• Most caches found in 1 week : 133


• Fastest 100 finds : 3 days


• Found a cache on every day in the month, and hence....


• Increased my cache-a-day record to 39 consecutive days....and counting


• Passsed the 1500 and 1600 milestones


• Managed to get 6 FTF's (not a record for me, but cool nevertheless!)

I doubt April will be as productive, but a trip to Blackburn on the 26th will help my stats towards the end of the month!

Some series I've completed (or attempted!) this month are:

Mutt's Trek - Excellent walk for 7 in the series plus 2 en route

Finding Flyford - Great walk for 9 in the series plus a puzzle if you can solve it

Hatherton Canal Walk - series of 6 on a linear walk, great stuff

UK Mega Series - Completed 1-70 with no DNF's

Big Kids Challenge - a complex 13 cache route, still 2 left to find!

Sezincote Stroll - Lovely walk in the Cotswolds for 10 caches

CacheWalker Kids Trail - completed these 7 caches on a figure of 8 walk with the Sezincote Stroll

March Mayhem - completed the original set, another 13 just published!

They are all worth doing!

The Oregon 300 has certainly been broken in this month, and the Field Notes function on it has saved me alot of time logging all those finds!

A Record Breaking Month

I thought I'd blatantly copy Team Balders, and start a geocaching blog!

I've had a record breaking month so far, beating my previous records for the following:

Caches found in a month : 192 so far and still counting
Most found in a week : 133
Fastest 100 finds : 3 days
Consecutive days with a find : 26 and counting
Best weekend caching : 82 finds
Most finds in a day : 72 finds (with Team Balders and steve-e-b on the UK Mega Series)

I need one more FTF this month to equal my previous record of 7 FTF's in a month, 2 will beat it.....not sure if I'll beat this one, but I will certainly be giving it a try.

Kev and I might be out again this Sunday for more power caching.....not sure where yet. We toyed with the rest of the UK Mega Series, but 2 of the caches on that ring appear to have gone missing, so it might be better to wait.

The 100+ Letterbox caches up near Blackburn seem tempting too, particularly as I've got just 1 Letterbox cache in my "caching portfolio"!
