+Simply Paul Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Will any bad language be used? Not by me. Anyway, I've had an email from Sensei and it's a totally different group so I'll not be taking up Jon's kind offer of joining him. I hope to see him and his group 'in the field' over what looks to be a big-numbers weekend. Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Awww, wish I could come Jon, but I couldn't get the time off work Link to comment

I would like to add as a note, that I am not connected with this "event". I am also going out on the Sunday with some other cachers. Link to comment
+currykev Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Whats the point of an open invitation if you don't reply to emails. Edited August 16, 2008 by currykev Link to comment
+drsolly Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Good luck to all the people attempting this series. We'll be out caching over that weekend (not in Chesham). Link to comment
+Team-Harvey Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Awwwww we probably would have but we we were also at the fab Northants meet.

Great fun- Thank you Sollys for a great challenge!start to finish by foot? How many in 24 hours? well done all! as a PURELY hypothetical question what's the 24 hour by foot record at the mo? No, not all by foot (we drove a short section to save the walk) but this would be perfectly doable that way. I did it over two days, with the first being longer (8am-5pm, 62 caches-a new personal record) and the second being 10am-5pm with an hour for lunch and almost an hour not finding a DNF which had dodgy co-ords. If you were to eat on the hoof, you could reasonably do all three loops of the Chiltern Hundred in about 14 hours... Anyone fancy that challenge? I believe the 24h record is 123, but that wasn't all on foot. I suspect Dewdrops and his buddy who did these rings the other day/night might have done them all on foot and so might be the '24 hours on foot' record holders. If so, well done them. It was punishing enough over two days in daylight. Edited August 19, 2008 by Simply Paul Link to comment
+Lotho Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Not quite. Dewdrop didnt find them all, missed about 6 i think, and didnt walk them all. But i think it was 104 in about 15 and a half hours. Link to comment
+NinjaCacher! Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) as a PURELY hypothetical question what's the 24 hour by foot record at the mo? Assuming these are correct and current (ie. pre drsolly's 100), and having done 75 of the series (including 73x FTF) last Tuesday on foot in 11 hours 38 minutes (09:40 to 21:18), I would claim that I held, as of 12/8/08, the following records: - Most on foot in a day: 75 (listed 65) - Most by a solo cacher in 12 hours: 75 (listed 54) - Most FTF's on a day: 73 (listed 26) However, I think some of these have already expired. Mr.Dewdrop and agrajag2007 did 104 on Wednesday 13th, not sure if they did all on foot - might have surpassed "on foot" number. And Rodz has done 107 on Friday 15th with 106 (before the bonus) in 14 hours 48 minutes, so I assume he would have broken the 12 hours solo record at some point of his day. He reckons he cycled over 95% of the route, so probably he would also get the "most on pedal bike" record. And I don't know who else was breaking records on the weekend... But remember, it's not about the numbers... Edited August 19, 2008 by luzian Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Don't forget Most Caches Placed in a Month. 49 for The Other Stu has stood since February. 110 for drsolly ups that bar just a bit Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 How do we know they were all placed in one month? Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Could anyone claiming any records please email me the details (with a bookmark or other list of the caches) please. The bookmark can be kept private if you wish. Certainly looks like a few fell there. Cheers Tony Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Do we really want a "Most caches placed in a month" record? Surely it will just encourage long, micro "Power trails" Link to comment
+Alibags Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 How about "Most done fuelled only by a solitary TicTac", eh Paul? Link to comment
+Sensei TSKC Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 How about "Most done fuelled only by a solitary TicTac", eh Paul? Wot no chips! Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 How about "Most done fuelled only by a solitary TicTac", eh Paul? Wot no chips!Not that day- just a TicTac. I did find something a bit more substantial once I got home Link to comment
+sssss Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 yesterday we managed to walk round 99 of the 100 before stopping, what an excellent series, so far, we will be back to try and finish it. it is a nice area to walk around, and not just a collection of micro's. the hard bit was trying to write a different log for each cache well done dr solly and i look forward to finishing the series.

May I take this opportunity to thank sssss on behalf of Odd Woman for finding her sunglasses and I believe is in the process fo returning them via Royal Mail. She was so enthralled with the days caching that at or near to #48, she left them at GZ. Thank you. Link to comment
+sssss Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 we did offer to put a TB on the glasses and get them back via the caching system. she did decline though Link to comment
