Well done you two, on your 200th cache. It was really nice to meet you at Dan's Cache meet and we are glad you made the effort to make it. Hope we will meet again some time, and in the meantime happy caching to you both. Glad you did your 200th on such a great caching day........

All our love,

So... here's a quick awards-based summary of caches 101-200. In the main they have all been wonderful, and we'd like to thank each and every person who hides a good cache, or holds an event, or basically just takes us around their neck of the woods through caching.

 

On to the awards....

 

Best

 

Shopping Center (Pori, Finland) - A magnificent cache. Not particularly challenging, and not a fantastic view, but just for sheer cheek, this has to be the best.

 

Open to Offas (Shropshire) - A nice short walk in lovely surroundings, and a beautifully presented cache and hiding place.

Longest Search

 

Firs to the Left (Staffordshire) - We got up at the crack of dawn for a FTF. We searched for a good hour for this one, finally opening the box to find a FTF at 6:45am.

 

Biggest Puzzle

 

Milky Way (Tampere, Finland) - An epic multi, spreading over several miles of urban and rural settings with brain teasers all along the way. We ended up having to translate between three languages, doing hard maths involving Tommi picking 'n' mushrooms and Matti picking 'm' mushrooms, then when you get to the container, the log book is in a puzzle box. Argh! Great stuff from the devious minds of Harjus.

 

Wettest - Sky

 

Narnian Gateway (Surrey) - We did three caches around the Devil's Punchbowl in Surrey. It was the most attrocious weather and quite a long walk. We got absolutely soaked through to the skin, much to the amusement of the rangers who kept driving by in their nice warm land-rover.

Wettest - Ground

 

Simply Trimpley (Worcestershire) - On our first attempt at this one, the river Severn was well in flood, and the path was impassible. So Stu tried traversing the high banks above the flood water before bottling out and going home. Found safe and well on our second try.

 

Most Kick-Yourself

 

Yin Yang (Worcestershire) - It seems most people have a problem with this one. It's quite a long multi. At the final location, the coordinates are _absolutely_ spot on. You almost step on the cache. You then search for between 45 minutes and an hour before finding it exactly where you were standing. Note that it took the hiders 20 minutes to find it on a maintenance trip.

 

Quickest Find

 

Yyteri Sands (Pori, Finland) - The cache is hidden in the only structure within 100 feet in the middle of a sand dune. This will be easy, we thought. Well, it was easier, because the container wasn't even hidden, it had been left out in broad daylight. Fantastic location, by the way.

Largest Separation

 

Pearl Street Webcam (Colorado, USA) - Stu in Boulder, CO. Sarah at home taking the photo. 4586 miles and 7 time-zones away. Quite exciting, really.

Coldest

 

Viikinsaari Micro (Tampere, Finland) - Ok, it wasn't the only coldest, it was just one of the 12 we did in Finland in January in temperatures down to -18 degrees C. We didn't find it in January, but took a boat in June and bagged it.
