+Bear and Ragged Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 snipped >< You took your time Philip Not helped by having to re-visit our LQ cache, because they turned up after we had disabled it after it went missing! Well done! G Quote Link to comment
+Realmofchaos Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Congrats all, hope you enjoyed my LQ:Derbyshire cache! Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Fantastic work to complete them all - no mean feat, especially considering it was a whole family effort. I've only managed a few myself, but they've all been top - hope to complete all the county caches one day Quote Link to comment
rastan Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks guys & gals for your kind comments, actually the total distance travelled was 5083 miles! In response to my friend FantasticCat actually we did not spend a single penny in petrol, we used the diesel car for this and yes I did keep a running total of the cost which ended up as £711.62 (ish), but don't tell Mrs Rastan or I'm a dead man Big thanks to L8HNB for LQ:Worcestershire, would recommend this to everyone, don't want to give the game away but the cache container will certainly bring a smile to your face And HazelS's LQ:Merseyside just brought the memories back of my childhood, anyone here remember the liver birds? was humming the tune for 2 days after, the views from the top of the nearby tower were stunning (now I'm stuck with that tune in my head again ) Was a shame that KandG's LQ:Warwickshire had been muggled on the day that we happened to be passing, but hey (or "yay" as a certain seafairing type would say), we got to enjoy this location twice! And we enjoyed Realmofchaos's LQ:Derbyshire cache, remember this one well although it was one of the first we found, great vantage point with fantastic views, we decided to have our "dinner" here and take in the scenery! Can't express my thanks enough to PopUpPirate for organising this series, it really has been so much fun, feel sad in a way that it's over, what are we going to do now? And also big thanks goes to pklong for encouraging me along the way and standing by as my paf (never used that lifeline though, but very nearly did, was nice to know it was there) 17 trips altogether, heres how we did it: Trip 1 – 2/10/2007 City of London Distance travelled: 24 miles (by public transport) Trip 2 – 23/10/2007 Bedfordshire Distance travelled: 74 miles Trip 3 – 24/10/2007 Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire Distance travelled: 419 miles Trip 4 – 26/10/2007 Kent Distance travelled: 183 miles (was passing anyway on the way home from France, but would be 183 miles from home & back) Trip 5 – 30/10/2007 Suffolk, Norfolk Distance travelled: 246 miles Trip 6 – 1/11/2007 Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire Distance travelled: 190 miles Trip 7 – 14/11/2007 Essex, East Sussex Distance travelled: 204 miles Trip 8 – 16/11/2007 Berkshire, Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey, Greater London Distance travelled: 239 miles Trip 9 – 17/11/2007 Hertfordshire Distance travelled: 70 miles Trip 10 – 18/11/2007 Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Durham, North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire Distance travelled: 809 miles Trip 11 – 1/12/2007 Staffordshire, Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Lincolnshire Distance travelled: 554 miles Trip 12 – 7/12/2007 Wiltshire, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire Distance travelled: 356 miles Trip 13 – 13/12/2007 Warwickshire (dnf), West Midlands Distance travelled: 222 miles (Warwickshire was muggled, so was a dnf) Trip 14 – 16/12/2007 Shropshire Distance travelled: 327 miles Trip 15 – 25/1/2008 Warwickshire Distance travelled: 197 miles Trip 16 – 22/2/2008 Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset Distance travelled: 547 miles Trip 17 – 9/3/2008 Little Quest Final Distance travelled: 422 miles Total Distance: 5083 miles Total cost of diesel: £711:62 Quote Link to comment
