+Alibags Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I was idly wondering, upon doing a cache called 'Weir is it' the other day, what's the UKs most popular cache name? So far I have : "Off yer (your) trolley" - 9 examples "Weir is it?" - 4 "Wind in the Willows" - 3 "Teddy Bears Picnic" - 4 "If you go down to the woods today" - 4 Anybody know of any more contenders, otherwise the Off Yer Trolleys get it! Oh, excluding series such as "route canal 1" , 2 3, etc as they have been deliberately named the same. Quote Link to comment
+Pieman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I can't beat 9 but Bluebell Wood(s) comes in with 7. Quote Link to comment
+Skippy and Pingu Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 There is another one with 9 but maybe we won't mention that one, don't want to spoil the surprise eh Paul?! I can't beat 9 but Bluebell Wood(s) comes in with 7. Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) I count 17 "A bridge too Far" and (very) similar. Edited October 10, 2006 by rutson Quote Link to comment
+The Mars Bars Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 How about caches with the same name in close proximity? 2 caches in Bournemouth set by different cachers in the same park only about .13 miles apart, both called "Meyrick Park"! Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment

+Pharisee Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 There are 15 just called 'Mission Impossible' with another 40 that have 'Mission Impossible' as part of their name. Quote Link to comment

+purple_pineapple Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 can't beat bridge too far, but X marks the spot has at least 9 or 10, mostly by different cachers. Haven't got GSAK handy to count them.... Quote Link to comment

+TMM-Sarah Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Did anyone actually read the OP!!!! Excludes caches that have been deliberatly named the same!! Sarah x Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Having a cache of the same name: "The View", I started to panic. Of the 179 caches listed with the words "The View" in the title, just 26 contain just the two words. Of these one is disabled and one is called "The View II", presumably to differentiate it from any other view - as if!! Aaaaarrgghh - give me a new name for my cache!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

+minstrelcat Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) I expect 'Walk in the Park' crops up quite a lot. I don't know how to check just the UK ones but there are over 10 pages of them internationally. Lisa Edited October 10, 2006 by minstrelcat Quote Link to comment

I thought you were testing us and put it in there on purpose J Er, yeah, that's right, that's what I meant to say! Mind you, some good ones have been found so far. All interesting stuff... or perhaps I should get out more? Naming caches can be of the hardest bits of setting them. Quote Link to comment
+cakemaker Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm hoping the name from my recent series will be used by others , rather like Motorway Mayhems ..... They're called 'A' Road Ventures. They have to be on or near an A road, up to 10 minutes walk, with a find bigger than a micro. Do you think the idea will catch on? Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well, the "A-Road Anarchy" 'series' has four caches now. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Here's a bit of a jolly jape. If you know what Googlewhacking is, the following will make sense. Put a GC.com Keyword search in for a random word -not a part of a cache name you already know is unusual- and try to find just one live result. I'll start you off with 'Bonzo', which gives you just one cache, Bonzo's Dog by Troop_Cat (GCYHJV) -Oh, so close with Ostrich! Dam.n. Edited October 12, 2006 by Simply Paul Quote Link to comment
