+milvus-milvus Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Remember this thread from last year? How have you done against your stated plans? And how have they changed for 2006? For the record, I said: Finish (start?!) some of those challenging puzzles - such as Lewis Alone.... Done - and FTF on Lewis 2! We greatly enjoy the more challenging puzzle caches - even if they do take a bit longer. Set some long-overdue caches in Towcester, Silverstone, Whittlewood Forest... Finally got the permission - but watch this space for the caches... Attend our first event, and meet more cachers (also long overdue!). Attended 2 events in 2005 - must try to get to more in 2006. Release those 5 TB tags we've had since August... Done Work out how to use this PDA thingy... Still working on it... Try to avoid searching the building site next door to the Taj Mahal (metaphorically speaking!). Spent a good 30 minutes doing this in Oxford this afternoon. Wishful thinking... And become a Premium member - done 1/1/2005! Remember to renew it! Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) I want to cache with more cachers and try to attend more meets. So look out I may be coming to your area Yep, did that Thanks to all that cached with me during 2005 Edited January 2, 2006 by Deego Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I said: I'd like to get my 500th, a good 5/5 cache, maybe on the 5/5 (5th May).... but we'll see. That's a tall order by then! Ummm, yeah.... I doubled that! Got several 5/5's, and was on well over 500 by the 5/5/2005. I shan't make any plans for this year, other than cache in France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland maybe. I'd like to find more coins I suppose too? Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Nope STILL haven't found Kipling cache! Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 STILL didn't get 500! ....................next weekend awaits Quote Link to comment
+Moote Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) Wanted to get 200, but never. But I guess that I help make another landmark Edited January 3, 2006 by Moote Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'd forgotten all about starting that original thread! Well done on remembering it. My plans were: Reach 600 finds Just! Done on December the 18th this year at a cache I visited in October 2003 - but didn't log at the time. Revamp some of my older caches by adding extra elements. Errr, not really. I suspect I'd archive caches and replace them with 'new versions' now, rather than extend or radically change existing caches. Set at least one new cache per month (as I discovered with my last hide there are some great 'undiscovered' locations out there, waiting for a cache) No tick here either. January=0. February=4. March=2. April=7. May=28 (see below) June=4. July=2. August=2. September=2. October=1. November=1. December=0. Do Dan's The Ring too. Yep, with Sensei at the end of the summer. Excellent cache, but not quite my favourite of the year. I also want to attend some more events (always fun) One CITO (my own) and eleven 'trads' (inc. two of my own) Perhaps release a TB or two. Or four, inc. a Virtual one which didn't last long I also have my eye on a record... But not either of the ones I actually got! I hoped to do the most in 24 hours outside of London, but ended up with the most hides in a month (by accident. If I'd have been planning it, I'd have held off the 6 I set at the end of April to the start of May) and the first Brit to hit 100 - again, with no real plan to. Anyway, it's not about the numbers... So, a mixed result, but not a bad years caching. Made some new friends too, which is always cool (especially if they'll lend me money ) Quote Link to comment
The Mount View Crew Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I set my limits low - to average 1 find per week - and still failed to achieve it (only managed 40 ). End of year report - "Must try harder!!". But I did have great fun finding those 40 and am so pleased to have discovered Geocaching. My New Years Geocaching resolution is to achieve 100 finds by the end of 2006. Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Finish planting our 40 stage multi.

+t.a.folk Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Our purchase of the year saved us loads of time and trouble and shouting and only 14 quid from maplin Great idea . Is signal affected by trees or outcrops of rock? Quote Link to comment

Is signal affected by trees or outcrops of rock? No. Apparently in open countryside on hills etc the range is well over a mile . Certainly work if one person stays in the car while the other gets soaked in the rain !!! Quote Link to comment
+Gralorn Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Set a target of 300 in 2005 and achieved it. A good effort on our part. Quote Link to comment
