+FantasyRaider Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 A year ago just after discovering this great hobby I told my fellow worker about it and we both decided to place a cache on the Albert Dock (where we both work regularly at the Echo Arena) My cache: Duck Run ... was soon archived due to a little problem with one of the finders (a very interesting read). But his cache: Albert Duck went on to be a big hit and still going strong. As my friend sometimes goes on tour with a band I have always taken care of his cache while he is away. I have it on watch so I can check if the log needs changing ..... which is often as it gets hit almost daily. (269 hits in 16 months, and as it’s a real big tourist trap it gets hit from all over the world) Well, this got me to wondering if there is a list of the most visited caches in the UK? ::Just to add that due to the trouble the cacher had with 'Duck Run', there can no longer be anymore caches placed in the Docks:: A situation I do understand Deci as the over-reaction of the security could have well led to a much worse scenario.

+Happy Humphrey Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Last Delivery must stand a chance, with well over 2000 visits (if we're talking traditional caches). Shame about Duck Run, although I found the successor recently and can understand the potential for problems. It's a pity that the terrorists can chalk up another success in such a historic area. HH (from a boat on the Irish Sea!). Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Sorry to go a bit Simply Paul here, but.... the Last Delivery cache has had "over"2000 visits in 7 years. That ain't nothing special. One of mine has had nearly 500 visits in 5 months. Beat that! That's it. I won't gloat no more. Quote Link to comment

And i thought the Albert Duck was going good. Giz a link to this cache then....please? ::I want to see what attracks so many finders ... if you don't mind:: Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Definitely not top but a busy cache The South Bank Lion GC1BEM6 1267 in 32 months Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 One of mine has had nearly 500 visits in 5 months. Giz a link to this cache then....please? currykev can't because promoting ones own caches is against the rules I suspect it's this one: Eyes Closed Mark Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I suspect it's this one: Eyes Closed Don't think so; that's only had 487 visits. Less than a quarter of Last Delivery. I don't think we're talking about visits per week, otherwise there would be a different cache at the top of the table every week. I'm sure there must be caches with over 3000 visits, but I don't know of one. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Sorry to go a bit Simply Paul here, but....I don't think I've ever gone like that Quote Link to comment
+Original A1 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've adopted one in central Edinburgh which gets a lot of visits (just under 800 logs in about 20 months, about 700 are maintenance ones by me!). I suppose if you have one in a well-tramped area, it's little wonder people try to find it. The other HH (Haggis Hunter) had a very popular one called "Greyfriars Bobby" (GCJKTR), which is sadly now archived after over 1000 finds. People still flock to the area, cache or no cache!

+Us 4 and Jess Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 For being in the middle of nowhere, this one doesn't do too bad http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...8a-01b943048136 Not sure who it belongs too though I don't think it has ever gone a month and not had a hit till now, you can tell we are having some weather up here It normally gets visited every weekend all year around mostly by foreign visiting cachers Mandy Quote Link to comment
+maxkim Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Is there a way of finding out which of your caches has the most hits? Max Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Is there a way of finding out which of your caches has the most hits? Max Do a PQ of your own caches, load it into GSAK, run the AddLogs macro and the info should become apparent. Quote Link to comment

+frozboz Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 GC13M78 From a Swan to the Canary: Tower - Save me! has 1774 logs (1605 finds) since mid 2007, gets a couple of hits most days. Oh course, being adjacent to the Tower of London has something to do with the visitor rate Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 This has made me look at my own caches and be surprised to find that mine at Liverpool Pier Head, about half mile from the one mentioned in the opening of this thread, has to date 245 found logs in 16 months. But then if we were to look at virtuals I have one in Prague which is nearing the 4,000 mark! Quote Link to comment
