+Amberel Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Anybody techy able to update the county cache numbers? Seem to be flooded with notifications reently so wondered if Hampshire still leading the way. Cheers I could do it from my offline database, but it takes 5 weeks to complete a cycle so is never completely up to date, and you would have to accept my version of "county" (which you can see on http://www.amberel.com/countylist.htm) Do you want me to do that?

+qrang Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Use project-gc.com Select Cache Stats, then United Kingdom, then Southern England. Gives a list of available number of caches by local authority. Hampshire currently has 4877, but this excludes Portsmouth (with 258) and Southampton (with 172) Quote Link to comment
Alan White Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) I was going to just post my list - same as the ones I've done before - but looking at the OP's profile it seems that the list of counties there is different from the ones agreed to when we last discussed the issue. However, here's the list as I understand it: Essex 5348 Hampshire 5231 Devon 5100 West Yorkshire 4906 Kent 4875 Lancashire 4842 Lincolnshire 4447 West Sussex 4272 Cornwall 4125 Northamptonshire 3956 Cambridgeshire 3845 Wiltshire 3825 Surrey 3682 North Yorkshire 3654 Cheshire 3480 Greater London 3012 Somerset 2959 Staffordshire 2921 Greater Manchester 2876 Suffolk 2808 Derbyshire 2793 Shropshire 2778 Gloucestershire 2747 Leicestershire 2719 Norfolk 2612 Cumbria 2606 Warwickshire 2591 Dorset 2587 Buckinghamshire 2566 Nottinghamshire 2526 East Sussex 2489 Highland 2405 Berkshire 2360 Oxfordshire 2303 Worcestershire 2297 West Midlands 2157 Hertfordshire 2057 South Yorkshire 1782 Perth and Kinross 1660 County Durham 1452 Fife 1287 Merseyside 1239 Bedfordshire 1210 Northumberland 1167 East Riding of Yorkshire 1121 Flintshire (Sir Y Fflint) 1023 Aberdeenshire 997 Tyne and Wear 782 Angus 745 Gwynedd 734 Moray 707 East Lothian 645 Stirling 645 Powys 602 Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych) 573 Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) 532 Conwy 525 Argyll and Bute 502 Carmarthenshire (Sir Gaerfyrddin) 496 Herefordshire 488 Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) 462 Scottish Borders 420 Ceredigion (Sir Ceredigion) 395 Rutland 385 North Ayrshire 374 Edinburgh 368 Isle of Wight 353 Dumfries and Galloway 351 Wrexham (Wrecsam) 347 Bridgend (Pen-Y-Bont Ar Ogwr) 336 Bristol 329 Swansea (Abertawe) 326 East Ayrshire 317 Midlothian 308 South Lanarkshire 291 Rhondda Cynon Taff 285 West Lothian 265 Neath Port Talbot (Castel-Nedd Port Talbot) 264 Vale of Glamorgan (Bro Morgannwg) 255 Clackmannan 253 North Lanarkshire 229 South Ayrshire 229 Caerphilly (Caerffili) 189 Glasgow 189 Orkney Islands 182 Isle of Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon) 179 Dundee 175 Renfrewshire 162 Shetland Islands 153 Aberdeen 151 Falkirk 150 East Dunbartonshire 143 Cardiff (Caerdydd) 141 East Renfrewshire 137 Western Isles 101 Inverclyde 96 Newport (Casnewydd) 96 Torfaen (Tor-Faen) 91 City of London 53 West Dunbartonshire 44 Blaenau Gwent 24 Merthyr Tydfil (Merthyr Tudful) 22 Reasonably up to date (may exclude caches published in the last day or so); Groundspeak caches only; events, CITOs and other non-caches excluded (though virts and webcams are included); Great Britain only; E&EO.

+Seaglass Pirates Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Quite a disparity between Devon and Cornwall hmmm but then our notifications come through and ... oh look SE again, and again, and again, I barely look now. Wonder what the ratio between submitted and approved caches is for Devon and Cornwall. Quote Link to comment
+The Growler Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Cheers - that was what I was after. I thought that the prolific folk of Essex would have jumped to the top. I will never need to leave the County ever again! Edited August 17, 2013 by The Growler Quote Link to comment
+GilkerscleughCachers Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 So if those are accurate to about the 10th of August. I own 10% of the caches in South Lanarkshire. Wow. It seems that Haggis&Psycho own 25% of the caches of East Ayrshire. Mega. Quote Link to comment

Alan White Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 So if those are accurate to about the 10th of August. I own 10% of the caches in South Lanarkshire. Wow. It seems that Haggis&Psycho own 25% of the caches of East Ayrshire. Mega. That caused me to look at the owner stats... With the same conditions as in my previous post, there are 153,692 caches owned by 18,256 different accounts; an average of 8.4 caches per account. Of those accounts, 7,284 (40%) own one cache and 15,145 (83%) own 10 or fewer. The top ten owners are: Highland Haggi 1633 poshrule 1260 izaakwilson 1190 MarcusMaximi 599 Flatcoat Walker 575 L E G E N D 575 CaptainJack. 496 kevham1 484 MARROW BONE 477 perth pathfinders 477 Hats off to them - I have no idea how anyone has the time to place and maintain so many caches.

+Amberel Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hats off to them - I have no idea how anyone has the time to place and maintain so many caches. Me too. On the other hand, a lot of the really big numbers are just film pots - while the number of my hides pales into insignificance compared to these figures, quite a few of them have taken hundreds of times longer to set than simply dropping a film pot. Then there is maintaining - some do, some don't. L E G E N D, for example, is a consortium, but the ones I have done appear not to be maintained at all (as of the time I did them). But I've heard poshrule is good on maintenance, and I think Flatcoat Walker and kevham1 are too. (Please excuse me if you are on the list but I haven't mentioned you, that does not imply you are bad at maintenance, simply that I don't know either way). Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment

Rgds, Andy Quite true Sadly a local cacher has decided to place caches along the Essex/Suffolk Border but is not capable (as predicted) of maintaining them. I imagine they will be archived rather than replaced so it begs the question as to whether they should have been allowed by the reviewer. Even someone with no life like me has no time to maintain that lot properly! Quote Link to comment
