+The Gecko's Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Just added up the total terrain and cache difficulty rating of all my nearest caches. These are the twenty caches that are the nearest when I do a search from my home postcode which is Cardiff (CF5) I have a total of 96.5 with the furthest cache 8.1 miles away. Can anyone beat that? Who has the easiest area? Feel free to post you scores. Dave - The Gecko's Quote Link to comment

+kewfriend Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 (edited) we like these Sunday evening games ..... looks like west London ( Surrey for those pre-GLC days ) is a cinch at 68 with furthest away at 4.8 miles Obviously not as easy as some, must be the need to wear green wellies in Richmond Park. ~~~~~~~~ and in the same vein ...... this is the mileage I'd need to travel to do the nearest 10 nearest difficulty 5s ( ok I left terrain out of it as its a green and pleasant land in the southern counties ) ... a total of 450 miles - or an average 45 miles each 5 star diff Edited March 20, 2005 by kewfriend Quote Link to comment

markandlynn Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Nearest cache the lost mermaid 1.1 miles from home. Hey can you get the locationless for that? Mermaid Probably not.. As there are no actual mermaids. Local tale is slighlty differnet and is connected to some lazy workers inventing an excuse about sciving off. Back to the scores we have Alchemy gold witthin 6 miles, the mermaid gives us another 4.5 and a few very steep hills plus some more alchemy quests within the nearest 20 caches. OK lets add nearest Tb, nearest jeep, nearest unfound cache, nearest usa geocoin, nearest mystery/mulit/trad and micro Edited March 21, 2005 by markandlynn Quote Link to comment
