+Postie Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 The Seasider has whooshed past 100 and charged up to 200 in just 6 weeks caching!!! Well done that man!! (Every one needs a bigger letterbox!) Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Cripes!! Talk about a professional, well done seasider (seemed to have followed you for a few caches on Wednesday/Thursday last week). I'm away for a week tomorrow (no geocaching) so I expect to post a "Well done on 300" post when I get back. OK? Very well done, keep it up.

dodgydaved Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 WOW!!!! Looks on in awe, and I was hoping, but not expecting, to clock my 200 inside the first year!!!!!! Well Done John. dodgydaved I'm NOT lost, I know exactly where I am, I'm here! Quote Link to comment
+Icenians Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Well done The Seasider. It's taken me a year to do 80 odd. Note to self. Get out more Statistics show that those with the most birthdays live longest. Quote Link to comment
+Chris n Maria Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Big congrats - thats what I call obssesion! Though having just looked at Seasiders profile it says found 190 - is it being cached or something ???? Bear rescues a speciality!

Rockratgirl Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 That is really impressive! We were hoping to achieve 100 in the year!! Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own Canoe. We can't run away for ever ... but theres nothing wrong with getting a good head start Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Many thanks! I did quite a few last week and have only just finished updating all my logs - my record does now show 200. It's time I hid a few so keep an eye on the North West map over the next few days! Maybe see some of you at the Northern Cache Bash. Seasider Quote Link to comment
+Flackadder Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 That has gotta be a lot of getting about. Where do you get the time. Bob.... http://www.bobh.co.uk Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Now then John, I thought you were cracking along at 100 but now another 100 under your belt. Very well done! Go on enjoying it - see you at Alston all being well. John Quote Link to comment
Rockratgirl Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I've now discovered your "secret" and one I intend to use myself - virtual caches! Love many, trust few, learn to paddle your own Canoe. We can't run away for ever ... but theres nothing wrong with getting a good head start Quote Link to comment
+Omally Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Blimey! Well done Seasider! Any favourites? Clamo, clamatis, omnes clamamus pro glace lactis. GC:UK GAGB Quote Link to comment
+Rocky Balboa Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I am amazed, that has to be a record. You must have quite literally got up and bagged 5 caches a day religiously over the last 6 weeks and thats effort! Well done mate! Its just a hunt for a lunch box, why be so serious!?!

+Seasider Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Out of the 200 I think that 135 are locational caches and 65 are locationless caches. I've tended to go after the locationless ones when either it's a bank holiday & busy or the weather is poor. However, to find say a working watermill or a lovers leap takes a bit of research and still involves a good drive to photograph it - plus it's a pain uploading pictures on to the site. It took me just as long on Friday to ascertain which locationless caches were available, to research if any were within reasonable driving distance, to plan a route & then to photograph them as it did to find a similar number of locational caches the previous day on the way back from Scarborough! I estimate there are about 120 locationless caches (out of 314 total) which could be bagged in the UK - so there is plenty for everyone to go at! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 My favourite cache is 'Walking with Dinosaurs' by Chuffer which involved a lovely walk on Scarborough's rocky beach to find dinosaur footprints followed very closely by kevin's 'Fossil Transfer' in Monsal Dale, Derbyshire which had me clinging to a rock face searching for a cache which is not easy to find! My least favourite are all those where I find the cache is missing or trashed - "End of the Line" by Red Admiral was the first one I found damaged which was only my 6th cache.
