+Delta68 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was playing with http://project-gc.com/ yesterday and discovered that we (Delta68) have found more EarthCaches in Belgium than any other cacher from the UK! Whooo! Fame at last! OK, Maybe not Can you find a spurious category in which you are #1? Mark Quote Link to comment

team tisri Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Not sure about #1 but IIRC I'm ranked pretty highly in terms of US caching by a UK cacher. I forget whether it was the number of US caches found or the number of US states cached in (it might even be both). Quote Link to comment

+NickandAliandEliza Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 #1 first UK cachers to get caches on 5 continents. I think. (Spurious) #1 UK cachers for most cache types found. I'm guessing. (Spuriouser) (I promise not to mention the APE cache ) #1 UK cachers supporting Spurs. Made up. (Spuriouserer) Quote Link to comment

Truth be told I found the site cumbersome enough I gave up on it after a few minutes. Maybe I was just in the top few rather than #1, I forget the details but remember being surprised to see my name so high on any caching list. I forget if I've cached in 10 states plus DC or 10 states including DC. Quote Link to comment

+Pharisee Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Working at a high rating for attending events in the UK - not sure how many are above me but I am trying hard LOL Lilian A long time ago, I actually held the record for the number of events attended with a grand total of 31... Them's were the days!! Edited to add... At that time, there were only ten of us that had more than 1,000 finds, too. Edited September 6, 2012 by Pharisee Quote Link to comment

+Splendidz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ooo! I've just been having a play and found my spurious claim to fame is I'm #1 UK cacher for 4.5*D/5*T caches (and 1.5/5*s) Quote Link to comment

+Original A1 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Haven't a clue how to work out the stats, but I would put in a bid for the greatest range of caching, having found in the Arctic (Svalbard, Greenland and Alaska), not quite the Antarctic (Ushuaia), Alaska and Russia, although my Russian range is restricted to Moscow as there wasn't anything out in Chukotka...

+Y6GST Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Joint top for: UK cachers Unknown cache type D5/T4 Caches logged since 1st January 2011 With a massive 6 finds. Now my life is complete Quote Link to comment

You win North to South maybe, but can you beat our East to West - Fiji to Alaska? (Also not a clue how the stats thing works) Quote Link to comment
+Original A1 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Actually I don't quite win North to South as Interloper has found the same most northerly as me in Svalbard, but has found one right in Ushuaia which didn't exist when I was there, whereas mine was 4kms up a mountain road! And had we landed in a certain place in Antarctica, I'd have been able to log the earthcache there, but we didn't so I couldn't. Chukotka is further east than anywhere else, but doesn't have any caches, so yes, you beat me in the latitude stakes as far as caching is concerned, but I doubt anyone can match my crossing the east/west hemisphere (not the International Dateline itself, as it wends round Wrangel Island). Just no caches, and no point in setting any as it doesn't do mainstream tourism. Edited September 7, 2012 by Original A1 Quote Link to comment

+mellers Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Struggling to work out how all the filters on that site work so no idea if I'm top of anything (Perhpas someone could give me a tutorial...) but here's a category I just made up which I bet I'm up there with... Most UK challenge caches qualified but not yet found! Currently with 136 caches, this fluctuates all the time. It was recently as high as 161 - but then I went out and found them!!! Also, possibly most spurious and un-comparable (not to be confused with incomparable) category invented...! Quote Link to comment
+redsox_mark Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm tied for first for finds in Brunei by a UK cacher. (one!). Quote Link to comment
+Amberel Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I guess my "achievements" aren't listed on that site - for many years I simultaneously had the most finds for a UK cacher on opencaching.org.uk, TerraCaching and NaviCache :-) I'm now down to second spot on TerraCaching, having been overtaken by UrsusBear :-) Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment
+Pieman Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Just found out that I am equal first in the UK for finding virtual caches in foreign countries and I will have the chance to find another on Wednesday which will give me a (probably brief) spell at the top of the podium on my own! I am also in silver medal position amongst UK cachers for number of countries cached in. In fact looking at that table gave me an idea for a really spurious record; a new cacher has just appeared well up the list as it seems that they have moved from the Czech Republic to the UK. So all you need to do is pick something you have a reasonable score for and change your home location. For instance, if I decided that Bhutan was now my home location I would be out of sight above the single currently registered Bhutan cacher for caching karma score . Quote Link to comment
