+choccymandm Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 not that we're numbers people (how many times does that get said these days!!??) but purley to pass the time and out of interest how many caches do you have within a 25 miles radius of your home co-ords/postcode? as of today we have 270 from our South Bedfordshire location, which seems like plenty but the numbers are growing rapidly ... not that we're complaining! so what about the rest of you?

polar69 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Seventeen !! Must get busy finding / hiding Planning a trip up to the North Yorkshire moors soon with the kids , they're quite excited about "dad's treasure hunt" Quote Link to comment
+wildtrekker Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 56!! (North Wales) 7 of which are mine and 5 others are in fact further as I live on the coast of N. Wales and these are in the Wirrel, accross the water!!! Having nothing to the north of me doesn't help, but there is a real Cache Void south of me, so much so that I am putting caches down that way to fill it, the first of which was placed yestarday in Clocaenog forest (Thanks to our friends at the FC) And just to make it harder for me, Snowdon and the Glyders (3000ft caches) are in those figures, so a few are HARD caches. who said geocaching was easy Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) There are 71 within 25 miles of Lytham of which 15 are mine. And just one which I've yet to find! I think the winner of this thread might be The Hornet or other cachers near Watford - if you put the town into GUK search engine it comes up with 399!! Infact, if there is anyone living in Amersham (NW of Watford) then they could claim up to 414(of which I've only found 156)!! Conversely, anyone living in Aberdeen has just 3!! Cheers!

Deego Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 There are 96 within 25 miles of me. (8 of mine) and I have 26 to find out of those. But I believe MarcB has a few to put out so that might increase soon Quote Link to comment
+minstrelcat Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) I make it 65, 16 of which we haven't done yet. Trouble is quite a few of them are in Essex and they are a lot further by road than 25 miles due to the Thames Estuary being in the way. I feel another trip to Essex may be in order soon.

+Sue and Bernie Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 It's eight for us. We've already cycled out to 3 of them and we're going to do most of the others this summer. None of them are together, they are all in different directions around the compass which suits us just fine. They're all about 15 - 20 miles away from us, a nice day out on the bikes. Mind you, one of these caches (Treasure Island) is a non-starter for us - we cannot manage a boat on the bikes! There are two caches located near each other by Cromer but we diliberately left one for this summer - we can finish off the trip by taking in the sea (and a meal and a beer or two). That's my excuse anyway... We plan to settle in the area once I stop moving around with the Mob so then we will plant a few of our own... Quote Link to comment
+stu_and_sarah Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 There are 60 within 25 miles of our home. 8 are ours, or ones we have adopted. And we have to 11 of them still to do. Sarah Quote Link to comment
+Flackadder Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Looks like 62, 4 of which are mine :-) Quote Link to comment
+RichardandJulie Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 31 in my area of Northants of which I have got 12. Still a lot to do. Will I ever catch up? I did have one of my owm out there but it got trashed . Will have to replace that when I get the time. Roll on the good weather. Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I don't suppose anybody will be surprised to know there are 410 near Watford Mind you quite a few of those are mine but even so that's real treasure trove for any new cachers Of those I've still got just over 100 to find! Seems like a couple of visits to London are called for. Quote Link to comment
+naffita Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 23 within 25 miles and 3 of those are mine. I have only 2 within 12 miles so a quick dash and cache is a bit of a luxury. Quote Link to comment
+mongoose39uk Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 173 in my area. 7 of which are mine. So only about 130 to go. Clear them up by next weekend. Don't think so. Quote Link to comment
+dogastus Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 There are 198 from my location of which one is mine. I have found 107 and therefore have another 90 to find. Quote Link to comment
+thirtyfootscrew Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 From a basic search I get 402, most of those will be from the Watford end of things. It appears that the Herts/Beds/Bucks area is pretty dense, mainly due to The Hornet and Dan+Pid though! Quote Link to comment
+Nottrikk Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Well, I've got an even 50 within 25 miles. 13 of which I've done. And I thought that they would be a bit sparse in the leicestershire area. Mark Team Nottrikk Quote Link to comment
+Hi-Tek Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 197 from my home co-ords Quote Link to comment
+Erika! Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 347 within 25 miles of me (Egham, Surrey). Makes my current 96 found caches look a little pathetic!!! Guess I ought to get busy finding the others!! Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 From a centre point of Chippenham, Wiltshire, we have 119 caches (of which 34 are ours ). Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 43 from home, 4 of which are mine. Not bad I suppose.... a year ago there were hardly any! Now there are at least 6 active cachers in the area, and we're adding to the East Devon/West Dorset cache tally quite nicely. Quote Link to comment
NeilFord Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 A quick GUK search brings up 103 within 25 miles of Billingshurst. - Neil Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 173, of which 6 are mine. I had no idea it was so many! And I'm only just into treble figures... Quote Link to comment
+aisledog Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Slim pickings in Wolverhampton I'm afraid. 48 recorded....hold on MarcB has just added a ship load. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 251 plus another 9 that are temporarily disabled. 19 of 'em are mine and I still have a handfull of the rest to find. Quote Link to comment
+Hi-Tek Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 251 plus another 9 that are temporarily disabled. 19 of 'em are mine and I still have a handfull of the rest to find. Perhaps the Grockles GDDO on the 24 or 25th can help to alleviate this deficiency of yours John Quote Link to comment
+Naefearjustbeer Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 26 caches within 25 miles around my house of which I have either hidden them or found them. I would have to be almost 50 miles away from home as the crow flys to find a new cache at the moment ( actually about 2 hours driving time due to the twisty roads ) Or 30 miles as the crow flies but this would involve a ferry crossing and some driving as well Quote Link to comment
MCL Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 From Milton Keynes, 220 of which two are mine. My third one is much further away. Quote Link to comment
+Fangsy Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 From SA20 there are 20 Geocaches within 25 miles, 1 of which is my own. Quote Link to comment

Snowpup Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 325 within 25 miles of my home co-ords in Finchley (north london) Of which I've done a pittiful 33. I never knew there were so many, so near by. I think some heavy caching over the next few week is called for. Thanks for the wake up call. Quote Link to comment
+MoonHerb Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 There are 49 centered around the Forest of Dean, none of mine yet though ! We were going to place this weekend but it was far to wet to even think about it !! Quote Link to comment
+rev n doc Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I reckon we have about 170 in the 25 miles round our home (Manchester), plus about another 20 old archived ones that you can no longer do. Sorry cant be more accurate, lost count when doing a page down on the 7th page of them Quote Link to comment

+arndale Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Wow. I've got 367 within 25 Miles of me in High Wycombe. I've been loading my nearest 500 caches in Watcher for a good while now, and seen the distance of the furthest one (once they are all loaded) go from about 50 odd miles to 28 as of last Monday! I must get on with it Dean Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Wow. I've got 367 within 25 Miles of me in High Wycombe. Mmmm.... I'll bet 350 of 'em are Dan & Pid's Quote Link to comment
+spioradsaor Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 56 of which 4 are mine. This is 25 miles as the crow flies....some include a ferry crossing or a drive of 100 mile. Thats what comes of living on the River Clyde. Still got a cople to do cos they're on an island. Quote Link to comment
+arndale Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Mmmm.... I'll bet 350 of 'em are Dan & Pid's I seem to remember every time I look at my nearest caches, only their names appear (well nearly). I keep thinking that I must place a cache, but everytime, one of theirs appears before I can get there Keep up the good work Dan and Pid. Dean I'll sus out how these quotes work one day!!

Leoness Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 79 caches (of all types) within 25 miles of home (N Yorks) of which... 2 are mine! 5 are currently archived 56 I have found (not including my own 2) Quote Link to comment

+John Stead Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Assuming we are talking of as the crow flies I can count 108 within 25 miles of home. Of those 13 are my own, 8 are temporarily archived and 20 I have yet to find. But 4 or 5 of the not found are temporarily archived - so come on Seasider some are yours, revive them and I'll be up the M6 again. Its a long cry from when I started out and the nearest to home was around 100 miles away! Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 But 4 or 5 of the not found are temporarily archived - so come on Seasider some are yours, revive them and I'll be up the M6 again. It's on my list! Cheers! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 It's on my list! Thanks - it will probably be next week before I drive the 30 or so miles North. I'll be on nursing duties from Thursday! Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Thanks - it will probably be next week before I drive the 30 or so miles North. I'll be on nursing duties from Thursday! Best wishes to Mrs S!! Cheers! Seasider Quote Link to comment

+Simply Paul Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I'm lucky enough to have a whopping 296 within 25 miles of my home in Aylesbury, 29 of which are my own. For reasons of practicality I've set 25 miles as my limit from home for placing physical caches, although I have a two-part virtual in London on the Isle of Dogs and Greenwich, linked by an odd walk. Of those I've done 68 physical caches of one sort or another, plus 3 virtual and 9 reverse/locationless. Beyond the 25 mile limit, I've done a micro and virtual in London, a webcam in Wilts and a couple of traditionals up hills in Glos. As I'm totting these up I still seem to be missing two, but it's rather late and my brain is a bit foggy. I don't suppose it really matters.... SP Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I guess it's not as much fun finding them Oh, but it is! I look forward to finding a few of yours soon next time I visit my daughter in E Yorks as I think that is where you hail from. Quote Link to comment
