+qrang Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 A list of the UK cachers who found the most caches in 2011 can be found here: qrang's profile The other lists of leading cachers (multis, unknowns, earthcaches, D5T5, countries etc ) have also been updated. Quote Link to comment
team tisri Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It was a surprise to see you managed to produce a list that had my name worthy of a mention at all, even if it was just a few lists relating to US caching. I doubt I'm ever going to be in the running for finding the most caches in the US but getting further up the list of "most states cached" is a possibility. It would be good to cache further west and in New England, and good to finally tick off West Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware having driven diagonally across WV, side-to-side across NJ at least four times, and end-to-end across DE twice without having found a single cache in any of them.

+Gushoneybun Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We have 233 US finds and do not appear although our daughter Keebee who found them with us does Our statistics are hidden so I guess that maybe why. They are hidden as it throws up some odd items like the travelling cache at the 1st UK Mega, that normally lives in Texas. I got GS to remove the Souvenir (whatever happened to them) and corrected its location in GSAK to the site of the Mega, so my stats are correct. Quote Link to comment
+Splendidz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Many thanks to Qrang for all the hard work it must take to compile these lists I will never make it into the most caches found list... but was very excited to make it up there into some of the other top 20s Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Perhaps there could be a category for those who have found the ten oldest active uk mainland caches It would look like this: 10 caches found: Delta68 9 caches found: bsh92673 Mario McTavish 7 Caches Found: aB5dEglYeS5P Pyoung1s 6 Caches Found: AmayaTom FantasticCat simwil 5 Caches Found: Grumpy Ant Maple Leaf Pharisee qrang Rocky Balboa Simply Paul Stuey Team Hippo The Haywood Hornet The Moor We Hunt...

Some amazing numbers there. Funny, I too am on the list; tied with team tisri with 10 US states I also found ~260 US caches in 2011 - enough to make the list, but I'm not listed.

+simplysup Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Heh heh heh. And for another year running, I am admiring you from behind. I wonder, will the view improve in 2012? Quote Link to comment

My stats are visible, and I show up on the number of states list, but not the US finds list. So I think there is an issue with the US finds stats. Quote Link to comment

+ratcliffe Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The only way I could ever appear on these lists was if one had been published on Jan 3rd this year, after I had done the CBN series and another loop in Leicestershire ont he first two days of the year. The "2012 so far list as at 23:59 jan 2 2012" would about do it. Quote Link to comment
+qrang Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Initial list of leading 2012 cachers has now been added to our profile If anyone has had a fast start to 2012 and is not on the list then let me know Quote Link to comment
