Team Tate Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 It seems to me that most cachers seem to come from the South coast - around a 50 mile radius of Winchester. Am I right in thinking that this is the most densely populated area for us lot or are they lurking elsewhere? Just interested? Sarah Team Tate Remember - if it's moving, it's not dead...

+Omally Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Maybe it's because we're all over-paid and under-worked down here and therefore have *far* too much free time on our hands... if only!! Clamo, clamatis, omnes clamamus pro glace lactis. Quote Link to comment

el10t Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I suspect there is a positive feedback loop. The more caches there are in an area, the more cachers are likely to start in that area, themselves placing more caches in time, leading to even more cachers. So we have to thank the people in the South coast area who placed a critical desity to start with. Rich mobilis in mobili Quote Link to comment
+Naefearjustbeer Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I am lurking about as far north as you can get without getting wet. I reckon I am in the least densely populated area for caching in the whole country. I think I need one of these positive feedback loops installed up here ! can I get the components to make one from maplins and does any one have a circuit diagram for one so I can get started. come to caithness for a quiet caching expierience. I would not think you are likely to bump into many other cachers on you travels Quote Link to comment
korresia Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 hey, hellooo I'm new to this having just come across this site today. it looks and sounds great fun! i saw on another post someone suggesting to meet up with a cacher to see what its all about before i go and spend all my pennies..so if there's anyone out there up in the N.E. of Scotland (Aberdeen area) who'd like to show/help me, it'd be most appreciated. thanks korresia Quote Link to comment

+The Wombles Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 We started hiding caches in the Avebury/Chippenham area back in September 2001 but have still to reach critical mass. If you check out Teasel's cache build up map then the clustering of cache placement is clear. Dave Quote Link to comment
