This was my first posting on the forum and I am staggered by the response. It has been really interesting reading all the different opinions. I don't think we have power trails in the UK but, reading the comments and from my perspective, I don't think they'd be for me anyway. I like finding 'crafty' caches in interesting places. I often think geocaching does more in the way to inform us of places to visit and sites to see than travel guides!

Thanks for that! And I'm enjoying the challenges.

Thanks to all who have responded to my (slightly tongue in cheek) enquiry. As Soaring Eagle has said, I shall be adding some of these claims to my "grains of salt"! I, too, love finding caches in areas that I simply wouldn't have known about but for geocaching - it has opened up a new world. I thank all the COs who have spent time and effort in creating these puzzles for us and providing me with a new hobby in my old age. Cerberus my reference to "... obviously, wanting to increase my own caches..." merely meant I would like to spend more time on the hobby - although I must admit I set myself small goals like can I get to the next milestone of 250. Quality over quantity!

I'm a relative newcomer to Geocaching - and I absolutely love the hobby. Please, though, can anyone explain to me how some geocachers manage to bag so many caches in one day? I've seen references to 60 or more finds. Working on a 10 hour day, to get 60 it means finding a cache every 10 minutes - and that's without a refreshment break or allowing for extra travel time. I am genuinely puzzled - and, obviously, wanting to increase my own caches, I would like to know of any tips to manage so many in a day. Thanks.
