Congrats To...

[+klaus23]

Well done to Donnacha, veteran Dublin/Wicklow area cacher who accompanied me on the "Tour O'The North" throughout Ireland last week, where we covered 1625 miles, spent 52 hours driving, drank a lot of beer, visited some strange places, sweated and argued and found 48 caches together.

 

During this time Donnacha found his 150th cache. Like many people I have come across in the past year, we met over the internet through the medium of geocaching. A big thanks to a man I speak to daily and who has become a very close and treasured friend.

 

Also cheers to The Rookie (soon to morph into alter-ego Johnny Cache), who cracked the 100 mark. His claim to fame is him holding the status of younger brother, and despite being 17, a full-time student, having no income, no drivers licence or car, he has found 105 caches. Hats off to a dedicated and valued young fellow.

Congrats Jan!!

 

You can't really remain The Rookie and have over a hundred to your credit. Having said that, it does have a certain cachet to it.

 

Well done on the Ton and timining it to perfection too.

Well after spending 6 hours with these guys hiking over Benbulbin in County Sligo last weekend I just had to add my own congratulations to you both.

 

Well done and congratulations from Mike in Cornwall.

Being half-Irish myself, perhaps I might be permitted to add a word to this thread. So congratulations to all concerned!

Yes indeed - and I'm sure they won't mind their real names being used, so: congrats to "Donnacha" (D. O'Nnacha), "The Rookie" (R. O'Okie) and "Klaus23" (V. O'Rsprungdurchtechnik).

 

Those of you who have visited the Emerald Oil will know that this is some achievement, given the much lower cache density, damnable roads and generally unpredictable weather.

 

Special Endurance Award goes to Jan, for being cooped up with those two for a whole week and (doubtless) not being able to get a word in edgeways...

I certainly agree with you there Wildlifewriter....in past years all my visits to Ireland have either been to bury relatives or play golf! So although I know only about the cache density by repute...I can certainly uphold the verasity of the latter comment

 

However, I hope that some time in the near future I will venture forth on a geocaching holiday on your side of the Irish Sea and when I do I will be looking for all the advice I can get

 

So well done indeed lads
