+golfchick Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Well Im approaching the 1000 mark and will reach it before the end of Nov so can anybody recommend me a worthy cache as such a big milestone for me? cheers Quote
+Amberel Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Well Im approaching the 1000 mark and will reach it before the end of Nov so can anybody recommend me a worthy cache as such a big milestone for me? cheers Approximate area? Rgds, Andy Quote
+golfchick Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 Kidderminster ish, dont mind travelling a little bit but not for hours on end! Quote
+Delta68 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 There's nothing like a nice big Multi for a milestone! This should fit the bill: Kelly's Birthday Cache and then Pretty in Pink Quote
+Amberel Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Kidderminster ish, dont mind travelling a little bit but not for hours on end! Not an area I know well, but we did a nice circuit round Dodford recently, with one you might consider to be a 1000 cache candidate. Might be a bit far for you, but if you don't mind travelling to (just east of) Bath the Below Above series is very good. Rgds, Andy Quote
+The Bongtwashes Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 There's several around that area, or in the general WM area. You could always try for the final of Alchemy Quest, but that requires you to find several others first, or else there's Cut Down Cache. Both these are 5/5 caches. Although I haven't found them myself I have had them recommended. You may get a better selection if you post on the WM Regional Caching Forum for any recommendations from local cachers. Quote
+Malpas Wanderer Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I don't often do circuits but if you are in that area and have not done; Abberley Advent[ure] Then you must (check for other caches you will pass on the route). Allow a whole day to do this circuit. Hope you are not too close to the milestone as there are a few numbers to amass. Quote
+Delta68 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Abberley Advent[ure] Good choice but she's already done it But that reminds me, Blenheim and Beyo....nd is another nice big Multi Quote
+Delta68 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 This one is good fun as well Severn Virtual Reward (Worcestershire). A Virtual but it's a sort of Multi Mark Quote
+golfchick Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 The below and above set sound really good fun but ill have to ask my fellow 1000 cacher we're hoping to do together as his movements are more limited than me and he may think its beyond his ability, maybe ill message the CO and see which of the set he thinks we'll be able to manage. I've saved cut down cache and alchemy, fellow cacher has already done cut down cache and to collect 14 other caches I'm not sure if he'd struggle... I'm not even sure he'll be able to mount up that number of caches in the meantime especially considering how fast I mount them up! I think I'll do severn virtual myself soon before the 1000 just for a nice day out now the kids are back at school! thanks for the recommendations, keep em coming! Quote
+Geogamy & Sheldor Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Not so much a cache as a general idea- we've decided for our 1000th to go back to the place we did our first cache... but in our case it helps that the first cache was on an island, and we only managed to find one (aaah, what newbies we were), so there are lots of options to choose from now! Congrats on the milestone Geogamy Quote
+golfchick Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 yeah that would be a good idea if my first was anywhere interesting and the fact im sharing the milestone it wouldnt really work out, cheers though! Quote
+Team Noodles Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 This one should do nicely and if you want, you can do this one with it. Quote
+golfchick Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 cheers ill add em to the list! Quote
+stanolli Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I am even closer to 1000 (although I think you will still get there first) so I will follow this thread with interest. I have just done Shropshire View that is an old one and I would recommend that if you haven't already done it. The Above Below series was the most fun I have had caching, but it's best with a small group and is not for everyone. We did them in the recommended order and now the first one seems quite tame, but starting at the hardest would have been disastrous. At the moment I am planning http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=87acf37f-7a4a-45a1-adb1-350c3023b952 which is north of me, but south of you so you never know we might end up searching the same day :-) Quote
+Delta68 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I have just done Shropshire View that is an old one and I would recommend that if you haven't already done it. I was going to suggest that one - together with History Cache 002 GCH5G7 ... but I got bored of the thread A great pair of caches and bloomin' tough by bike! Mark Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Not a particular recommendation but I chose an event for my 1000, it was one of a regular monthly series that I particularly enjoy so when I was getting close I engineered it so that I hit 1000 at the event. Edited September 15, 2011 by MartyBartfast Quote
+Pharisee Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I drove from home in Bedfordshire to South Wales in the early hours of the morning to do my 1000th... Tommy Jones GCGJHW A splendid 8 mile hike up Pen-y-Fan. I was on the summit before 07:00 and had the place to myself. Brilliant !!! Quote
+The Blorenges Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Not as strenuous as Pharisee's suggestion but still an excellent spot (near Abergavenny) and a really old cache... The First in Wales. MrsB Quote
+sniffadogz Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Hippos Below is great fun, and there is an excellent cafe in Newent to celebrate afterwards. Quote
+PeakFault Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I know this is perhaps a bit too far out of the way but I'd recommend Smuggler Quest 6 - Ravenscar to anyone. Bear in my that your 999th would have to be The Ravenscar Beast in order to complete the Smuggler Quest cache! Oh and in order to do The Ravenscar Beast you have to complete Ravenscar Treasure Trove and (the simple) Heather Haven But couldn't recommend them enough. Amazing scenery and challenging caches. Perfect for a huge milestone! Quote
+golfchick Posted September 17, 2011 Author Posted September 17, 2011 a bit far to go for us but i've added them to a bookmarked list for future plans when we could go n stay n try n get as many of them done as poss. Quote
+BaCas Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Our 1000th find was Church Micro 1000 which is a Wherigo (our one and only so far) but really enjoyed it Was planned for on our way home from hols in west country and before Kent County Cachers event in Loose nr Maidstone Church Micro 1,000...Wherigo to Church GC22R7D Good luck with whatever you choose golfchick Quote
+golfchick Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 I chose to do the 'hippos below' and did it last weekend with my best mate :-) thanks for all the suggestions Quote
