+Walker Dan Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 As caches numbers continue to increase, has anybody any idea where in the UK are the nearest 100 caches? i.e. I reckon that from the centre of Perth there are 100 caches within less than 6 miles. Is there a higher concentration anywhere else and are we set for some cache breaking record finds in a day this summer? Quote Link to comment
The Royles Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Interesting thought. I had a quick look at London, and found that using GCHM0T as the centre, and limiting the search to active caches that were not events there was 100 in a 2.8 mile radius. Quote Link to comment
+adambro Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Got to go out to 9.2 miles to get 100 from the centre of Huddersfield, West Yorks. Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Cache Clusters may be useful for your research. Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 7.4mi for me. Quote Link to comment
+daytribe Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 This coming weekend we are moving to a town north of Inverness in Scotland. You have to go out to 54 miles to get 100 caches up there. Surely that must be a record at the other end of the scale in the UK? Quote Link to comment
+Firth of Forth Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 A radius of 10.3 miles from the North side of Edinburgh for 100 caches. Not bad..... Quote Link to comment
Helen in Mustardland Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 16.7 miles from me (Essex.) That's quite cache-sparse. Running out of land to the east doesn't help much either I suppose Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 8.4 miles for us .... and what a lot of them are ours and our breakaway team member's, Renegade Rabbit!! Quote Link to comment
+allieballie Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I reckon that from the centre of Perth there are 100 caches within less than 6 miles. Yes, I feel very lucky to live so close to Perth! Daytribe, you could always set lots of new caches north of Inverness! Quote Link to comment
+daytribe Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) I reckon that from the centre of Perth there are 100 caches within less than 6 miles. Yes, I feel very lucky to live so close to Perth! Daytribe, you could always set lots of new caches north of Inverness! I'm working on it. I've packed some newly aquired ammo boxes and I'm bringing my tupperware. I seem to have a glut of tupperware that I have camouflaged with cammo tape TIP: If you're going to the states, Walmart sell cammo tape (like Realtree) for less than a quid a roll. I bought loads.

+Nellies Knackers Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I spotted that cammo tape on eel island,good stuff that! How long are these rolls then? I've seen some at uk army surplus places but the rolls were very short for the price. Quote Link to comment

I've seen some at uk army surplus places but the rolls were very short for the price. Ah, well the one I used on Eel Island I bought on Ebay. Cost me £5 and was 6 metres long. It's very good but is nylon and quite shiny. But the stuff from Walmart is far superior, more realistic and is 5 metres long for $1.40. Quote Link to comment
+wizard1974uk Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 There are 56 caches in a ten mile radius of where I live. Quote Link to comment
+Longfram Kev Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Using home co-ords I would need a radius of 21.79 miles for nearest 00 caches, North Northumberland Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 From home (St Helens), I have 88 within 10 miles and go 10.5 miles to find 100, both figures including my own caches. Quote Link to comment
+2202 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 For all the belief that Oxford is a hot spot from my house (inside the ring road) the first 100 fall within a 7 mile radius. But under 12 miles for 200 though. Quote Link to comment
+Nellies Knackers Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 27.1Km from St.Neots(Cambs.) for 100. Quote Link to comment
+Spnoo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 8.2 miles for the first 100 from Ascot, Berkshire. Quote Link to comment
+2202 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 However if you live in Thame (Oxfordshire) there is a mere 600 within 20 mile radius Quote Link to comment
+The Golem Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I make it 12 miles from Keswick in Cumbria. Quote Link to comment
+Walker Dan Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yikes, there's now 100 in less than 5 miles from the centre of Perth (GCV4V7). What's going on? Pick up anything round here it's likely to be a cache . Getting to be overkill methinks. Quote Link to comment
+Deepdiggingmole Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 15.2 miles for nearest 100 from Tonbridge, Kent and I have done them all........... 22.2 miles for 200 not done all of them ............ but working on it Tim - ddm Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 From Petersfield (Hants) its :- 13.1 miles for 100 17.5 for 200 Quote Link to comment
+Learned Gerbil Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 From my office in Central London, the first 100 caches are within 2.4 miles. From where I live in South London, there are only three caches within 2.4 miles! Quote Link to comment

Pick up anything round here it's likely to be a cache . Getting to be overkill methinks. Definitely not overkill!!!!! Those 100 caches range from 1/1s to a 5/5. There is a wide variety of all types of caches - and very few that even I, as a native of Perth, would consider to be "lame" I have seen more of my home town in the past 18 months than I had the 30+ years before Perth is a very historic town surrounded by hills - A few miles to the North and you are into the Highlands. All around Perth is amazing scenery and excellent walks. I'm surprised that the local cachers have managed to restrain themselves from setting more! Quote Link to comment

+The_Botherers Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 At the moment there are a 100 caches within 15.6 miles and 200 within 22.4 miles starting off near Lancaster. Should keep me out of trouble for a bit Quote Link to comment

That is 100 100% active caches within 2.4 miles. Quote Link to comment
