I preferred the following caches while traveling because....

 

• Tend to cache close to big cities in other countries, so a broad comparison is unfair. Actually like "easy and accessible" ones when travelling because you have limited time and equipment (e.g. hiking boots).

• UK, well listed and maintained

• UK, nice walks in forest/countryside while caching

• The Netherlands - a large number of caches showed signs of real effort while placing, and thought going into them, and a lot more multis and puzzles available. The SA caches, in general, seem like they were placed on a whim.

• Great hiking caches in Oman. Australia has too many mindless "stats" caches.

• no comment

• Lesotho, 3000m above sea level

• UAE – introduction to caching – was great – still new

• They generally take you to interesting places

• Arabia - safety while off the beaten track and night caching. Europe – like being surprised by “non tourist” gems in cities I visit.

• Swaziland because of the beauty of the country

I preferred caches in South Africa because....

 

• The SA cachers are super friendly, and ingenious in their cache hides, and the scenery is great

• Higher quality and more interesting

• Great views and good “stories” in the cache description, often taking you to interesting places within your immediate surrounds. I have been fortunate to cache in many countries – both good and bad – SA caches hold their own world wide – but probably fewer multis than Europe – and less “mindless numbers only” caches than the US. A good mix – but like everything in life – there is good and bad, and one needs to cache intelligently to find good caches.

• SA caches generally are of good quality.

• SA too broad - have huge variation. Caches in great spots are great doesn't matter where. Urban caches tend to be bad because there are not many good spots and many cache owners. So in my mind Gauteng caches are on average worse than WC ones but it has of course more to do with the environment than the cachers. On average SA caches therefore "feels" better but then I haven't been in the Rockies or the French countryside to do the "good" ones there.

• They are generally good finds

• I live here :)

• They generally take you to interesting places

• The weather is very nice to cache here

Busiest caching days during the past year:

The days with the most finds are:

26-Mar-11: 1316 finds (no less than 4 events!)

10-Oct-10: 718 finds (2 big events)

25-Apr-11: 643 finds (holiday)

 

For the period 22 April to 2 May (during all the holidays), the average was 397 finds/day. During this period the minimum was 229 on Friday, 29 April, and the maximum was 643 on Easter Monday.

 

Average number of finds per day of the week for the past year:

Sun: 411

Mon: 181

Tue: 152

Wed: 157

Thu: 154

Fri: 181

Sat: 399

(50% of finds are done on Saturdays and Sundays)

 

The average for the past year is 233 finds/day (for the whole of Africa).

During the past year 5459 cachers have logged a total of 85159 finds on African caches, for an average of 15.6 finds/cacher/year and 13.2 finds/cache/year.

 

Using my definition of "active" as meaning finding on average at least one cache/month, there have been 1002 active cachers in Africa during the past year. This is a dramatic increase of 27% since the end of 2010. On the other hand, 33% of the 5459 cachers have logged only one find.

Number of new caches:

There are currently 5421 active caches in South Africa.

A year ago there have been 4215.

This is an increase of 1206 caches (29%) (3.3 new caches per day)

(Only iPajero managed to find more than this during the past year - the rest of us have fallen even further behind...)

Add to this my (and how many for the others?) 102 finds in Portugal / Germany. Makes my total 867 worldwide total finds over the year mentioned.

Please can this be broken down by Province? And for Botswana, Namibia & other neigbouring countries?

Unfortunately I have only recorded the numbers for South Africa, Gauteng and the Western Cape.

 

Gauteng:

OK, I did a quick filter in GSAK - it appears that 313 caches were placed in KZN starting on 06.05.2010, of which 9 are now archived events, and 5 others are traditional caches which have been archived. Leaving 297 still active placements since 06.05.2010.

 

For the Free State, 105 were placed, of which 1 event has now been archived.

 

But I have moved some (a few) archived_and_unfound caches out of my default database.

Danie, once again your stats make interesting reading. However, using your definition for active cachers above might be mksleading though. I will use myself as an example. This year I think I have only found 1 cache prior to my trip to SA for Easter purely because there are no caches for me to find at home as I have foind them all already. I have been hiding though. This now makes me inactive as I have found less than 1 cache per month. I did do a few caches whilst in Cape Town last week but very few due to other commitments. In Rustenburg I did 1 cache only as the rest I have either found or belong to me. I did do a heap of maintenance and replaved a number of my caches at the same time. At the end of the day I remain an inactive cacher by your definition. I wonder how many others would fall into the same category?

 

I don't have an answer how to address the issue so as to restrict the skewness. Perhaps some statistician out there can assist with an answer? ;)

However, using your definition for active cachers above might be mksleading though.

Any suggestion to improve it will be welcomed! The opposite of your example can also happen - a cacher finds 12 caches in one day and then does nothing for the rest of the year. With my current definition he will be counted as active.

 

The cut-off number of 12 finds/year is also totally arbitrary - I could just as well have made it 10, and it would have made a significant difference to the total. (1169 vs. 1002)

 

I don't think the exact definition matters too much - as long as it filters out the large number of once-of cachers and it is used consistently.

The one who stands out is MnCo. Quite easy to have a few difficult caches, but to maintain a high degree over 50 caches is quite something!

I would be keen to know which caches are the most popular... Most Finds + DNFs...

 

Perhaps also a popularity index as this would correct for age of the cache... (excluding the first month of existence in which there is a FTF rush)

 

So a schema for calculation could look like this:

 

Popularity Index = [DNFs and Finds in period (publication + 1m) -> current date in days ] / [(publication + 1m) -> current date in days]

The first part is easy to do, but your popularity index won't be easy - the problem is that caches get archived and unarchived. To compensate for the dead time in SQL is beyond me!

I don't believe it is necessary to compensate for dead time - Cache owners place a cache that attracts finds but the work does not end there... Prompt maintenance is as much a part of a good cache as its placement in my opinion...

 

Would really like to see a top 10 list for popular caches.

 

As a newbie to the forum, and this thread, allow me to thank you all for a most entertaining read!

Here is a challenge to Danie, et al.

 

There was a fair bit of hype on this Forum about the Soccer World cup and the influence on caching in SA. Is there any way of seeing if there was any significant rise in the number of cachers in the country - by virtue of increase in finds during the period? I have a couple of caches placed in Rustenburg [one of the host cities] and there was no increase of finds at all during the period. I also have a few in the Pilanesberg National Park and I can say that there was a marginal increase in the number of finds by foreigners during this period. Perhaps caches in the more popular areas such as Cape Town, Durban, PE and Gauteng could be better gauges of activities. Any feedback would be interesting.

Link to comment

What I'm really interested to see is if there was a noticable "bump" due to more cachers being in the country over the Soccer World cup.

LogsJuly09-10.jpg

No noticeable deviation that I can see...

Danie did this last year just after the Soccer - seemed like no noticable influence across the country.

 

But in some local areas - like Pilanesberg - it probably did occur.

 

I wonder if one can do something like that just for some of the more popular tourist caches - like a sample of 10 or 20 caches on top of Table Mountain, in the Kruger, Pilanesberg etc. - but then again - these have probably got alot of tourists anyway.

The following graph shows the total number of logs for Cape Town:

Once again there is no sign of increased caching during the SWC. (The graph is actually slightly below the trend line for that period!)

Link to comment

I must say - this still surprises me - I really thought that with so many visitors - and many of them being Europeans - there would have been a good few geocachers.

 

I would have thought so too but this is obviously not the case. OTOH Danie's figures are for Cape Town. Maybe targetting typically tourist type caches could give a different result?

Maybe targetting typically tourist type caches could give a different result?

From what I have heard, Cape Town is the no. 1 destination for foreign tourists. If there were more cachers than usual, we should be able to see their effect in this graph, even if they only visited Table Mountain. No matter where and how I search, I simply do not see them. Maybe there are other reasons - maybe some local cachers stayed at home and watched the soccer?

The following graph shows the total number of cachers who have cached in South Africa since the very beginning:

 

Cachersovertime.jpg

This graph should also have shown a bump if there were more caching tourists than usual. (Even if I zoom in on the SWC period they are not to be seen.)

 

It took 69 months to reach the first 1000 cachers, and only 6 months for the last 1000!

Interestingly KZN does appear to have an 'extraordinary' increase in logs recorded for 2010, some of the figures are higher than have even been recorded in 2011 so far.

 

But it's also interesting to note that the spikes are before and after the world cup. An effect of the holiday schedule, or a result of extra cachers in the province?

The numbers for KZN follow the same trend as the rest of the country - the logs increase almost exponentially. You should not really look at single months - one event can distort the graph. For the period June to September 2010 the number of logs in KZN have been slightly below the general trend.

Sure the numbers are gathering pace. As for events... As much as we enjoy them I doubt they skew the graphs too much and if I recall I excluded 'Attended' logs and accounted for only 'Found it' logs in that query.

 

And yes trying to compare the figures year on year by month is misleading, however 2010 did show an unusual activity profile that I feel was mainly due to the shift in the school holidays last year. But speaking in general terms I doubt the WC added much to our caching here. I would say most visitors were here on package tours and stayed Hotel & booked tour, bound and few managed to head out and spend time just exploring the country.

 

Stats are often not the holy grail one would like them to be. But and I reckon a big but is that our caching is growing in this country and the sport is currently exploding... one can only hope for the good.

As I do not have the info for other provinces it would be interesting to maybe see some more details for these caches. ND Botanical Garden was placed in 2004 and has 123 finds. So the DNF count in this case is mainly a reflection of the simple yet deceptive hide that is employed here, which manages to befuddle cachers time and again :P.

 

It might be possible to see which caches have the "X" factor by seeing this information as well.

I agree on t5his one, at the 10 year event in Durban a whole lot of us searched all over for this cache but I managed to find it and sign the log and rehide it with others still searching right over my shoulder. It is a very sneaky hide and when you see the object it is hidden in you will understand that DNF's will be logged... So although some DNF's are gonna happen, it just means the cache is well hidden and those hunting are just not putting effort enough into it.....

I hate DNFs on my caches. (I hate DNFs when I look for caches too!) I have a cache that got muggled, so I replaced it in a "better" hiding place. It then got so many DNFs that I left a paragraph long hint. It now never gets DNFs and has been found about 60 times in 6 months. I am happier!

The only time I don't mind DNFs is when a FTF is up for grabs. It is my tradition NOT to give a hint till FTF has found it the old fashioned way. (Make them work for that FTF!) I think if the cache is really hard to find, you just turn it into a PAF cache.
