+Inukshuk and Arwen Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 We had the keenest cacher thread a few weeks ago where keen was defined as long term average number of caches per week and that made for some interesting reading. So the next question is........ Who's done the most consecutive days caching ie finding at least one cache a day without gaps?!? Now theres a good target for some of you really keen cachers out there - one a day for a year! Quote Link to comment
+harrogate hunters Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Not a good record, but I shall start this one off.... 12th, 13th & 14th July 2004 - three days on the trot, achieving 8 caches It would have been 5 days as I cached on the 16th but missed the 15th ! Best record for me therefore : 3 days Pitiful, I am sure compared with some more to follow Quote Link to comment
+Team Ullium Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 In June I went from the 4th to the 13th...ten days in a row and 14 caches But it could have been a lot more as I had a DNF on the 3rd and another on 14th and if they had been finds it would have been nearer to three weeks than two Ullium.

+Haggis Hunter Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 28 - 31 May 2004, 4 days caching & I can't remember if it was 31 or 33 caches. I was knackered at the end of it. Somehow though I think Pyoung1's will be the one to make the record Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 8 days at the end of May this year, 65 caches. Quote Link to comment
+Orti_ Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) 22 days holiday caching in USA and Canada (25.9-16.10.2003). ~7000 miles driving; 58 found, 2 DNF and some where I managed to miss the starting point Also tried to find 1 in every state but missed 5 out of 21 Edited October 12, 2004 by oa Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I've cached on 4 consecutive days quite a few times but the most productive was 2-5/5/2003 when I clocked up 19. Quote Link to comment
+aRRKS Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Most we've managed is 17th August - 22nd August where we found 38 with a futher 3 DNF's. Quote Link to comment
+kitmonster Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 My longest run is 7 days from the Oct 6 2004 to today! But I only started 7 days ago . . . Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Keep going Kitmonster, that really would be an achivement to say that you've found a cache a day since you've started! Very expensive too after a while! MarcB Quote Link to comment
+Daisy&me Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 8 days - while on holiday in the Lake District last month. Found 19 caches. Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hmmm, just three for me, although I have achieved three a number of times - work and family keep interupting me. Quote Link to comment
+kitmonster Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) Very expensive too after a while! You're probably right - just picking of the easy ones at the moment.

+The J J Noodle Fan Club Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 5 twice for us. 3rd to 7th June - 18 9th to 13th June - 10 Why oh why oh why didn't we cache on Tuesday 8th?! JJNFC Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Several runs of 5 days. But if you count DNF's our longest run has been 9 consecutive days. Quote Link to comment
+Puppy Galore Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I've just done the maths for this (which involved finally getting around to making notes of when I found what), and discovered that we found 9 caches across 7 consecutive days from 10th to 16th August, ending on the day of our 1 month anniversary as cachers.

+Firth of Forth Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 (edited) I've managed two non-stop caching marathons. One weekend in the summer 29th-31st July on the west coast of Scotland, 18 finds and 1 DNF. Some of these were multis and most of them involved good long walks. But even better was 28th-30th May up in Aviemore on the weekend of the 2nd annual Scottish cache bash - 20 caches over 3 days and again, long walks for quite a few of them. Not very long in terms of days, but I was certainly knackered after each one! Edited October 14, 2004 by Firth of Forth Quote Link to comment
+RoswellJam Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Surely this record must be held by Seasider! Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Surely this record must be held by Seasider! Probably not as I rarely cached at weekends! I've had a few 5's, a 7 when I started out and if you include event caches a 7 during my most active week... .....I attended the NW Xmas bash on Sun 14/12/03, went on my Watford tour the following 5 days during which I bagged exactly 100 caches and then came back to attend the Yorks Xmas bash on Sat 20/12/03. I then spent all the next day logging my finds! However, if I ever manage to get out on my proposed south west & south coast tour then the answer might be 14 or so! Cheers! Seasider P.S. I am not a numbers man!! Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Volvo Man will probably have a winner - I think he did 11 days on the trot last April (16th - 26th) during 24 days where he logged 200 caches. He seems to have retired now, nothing logged since 30th Aug! Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 (edited) However, if I ever manage to get out on my proposed south west & south coast tour then the answer might be 14 or so! South-West tour! You'd better give me some notice and I'll create an event for you to attend.

+Ann_and_Brian Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 In our longest continuous session we found 45 caches over 13 days between 5/8/2003 and 18/8/2003. Ann and Brian Quote Link to comment

kablooey Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 This is easier where I live (in California). I have not missed a day since July 15th, 2003, which puts me somewhere over 600 now. Quote Link to comment

+stu_and_sarah Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Drat. If we hadn't taken the 7th of June off last year, it would have been 32 finds in 12 consecutive days. As it is, our two top records fall over those same days: 19 in 6 days, followed by 13 in 5 days. I can't for the life of me think what we did on the non-caching day! Does it count if we revisited a cache... because the only photo I have from that day is right next to one of the caches we'd done in January. Cheers, Stu Quote Link to comment
+littlejim Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I've managed 0 days consecutively - does that make a minimum record? Quote Link to comment

Is there a correlation here?? By the way, whatever happened to that calendar on the "my account" page? That made it very easy to spot which days you'd been caching - but it disappeared some time ago now without explanation... Quote Link to comment

+goldpot Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ...this subject isn't dead yet! I have hunted down caches everyday since the 28th Feburary 2007 What is the UK record to date (I see someone in America has clocked up over 600 consecutive days of caching - I'm not that mad and I do have a day job to do!)? -GOLDPOT- Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wow, I've clocked up consecutive finds every day since, 2nd April 2007! (well, that's the first after a 3 month break) Quote Link to comment
+drsolly Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 We went from Feb 17 to Feb 26 with a find each day, that's ten days. Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) http://www.itsnotaboutthenumbers.com/top_ten.php may be a good place to check. It's not representative though, people have to opt-in by uploading their finds PQ. I thought that GeocacheUK had a similar stats tool, automatically done, but unfortunately, not to the detail of INATN. Edited April 3, 2007 by Edgemaster Quote Link to comment
Nediam Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 So the next question is........ Who's done the most consecutive days caching ie finding at least one cache a day without gaps?!? Well it's certainly not me The most "consecutive days with a find" I have managed is a feeble 3 The most trips I've managed in a month is only 9 Quote Link to comment
