Challenge: 1500 Cache Finds


Month of Multis

I like Multis and do a lot of them. Coming across this challenge prompted me to query GSAK and I've come up with a few figures:-
In 2011 I found 307 Multis (0.8411 per day).
In 2012 I found 239 Multis (0.6530 per day).
In the first 6 months of 2012 I found 169 Multis (0.9337 per day).

Unsurprisingly I find that I qualify many times over for this challenge! However, for my list of qualifying caches I choose the 33 I found on 28th June 2011 in the company of my good mate WhiteFriar.

Almost certainly unheard of outside the UK, the Church Micro Series is rapidly expanding from its start point in the South East of England. It is a series I am particularly addicted too, though not sufficiently to get into first place! The Statistics page may well also be of interest.

Whispertim's Dizzy Challenge

1. Climb a tree over 20 feet high

Dizzy Heights - AA8 on 5th June 2013.

And most of the other trees in this series!

2. Cross a body of water either by wading, swimming, or by boat.

Ait on 28th October 2011
and
Dhama Initiative on 22nd November 2011.

3. The most involved and creative non traditional container/camo that you would describe as the most awesome idea you've seen to date. (For example, a container that floats, or a bird house with working parts etc...)

So many to choose from. This was a particularly fun one:-
RTB ? (LL34) on 11th January 2011

4. Take a friend that has never cached before to find a cache.

Well, my first inclination was to use WhiteFriar:-
Addington Hills Triangle on 3nd April 2007
but I hadn't' read the small print and it's too early.

I attended these two events:-
Reigate Geocaching Extravaganza on 3rd December 2011
Olympics - Help a Newbie on 7th July 2012
specifically run to help people take up geocaching but I'm not sure that counts either.

I have taken my partner caching a number of times but she's never taken to it. One lunchtime I took a couple of friends from work to find one of my own caches but although they showed some interest they never took it any further. You didn't specify they had to take up caching afterwards, so I guess they meet the requirement.

5. Be First to Find on any cache

Double time Challenge on 11th June 2013.

6. Find 5 Difficulty 1 caches. One each with Terrain 1,2,3,4,5.

See the "Difficulty / Terrain Chart" grid on my profile. Click the relevant cells for lists of suitable qualifying caches.

For Extra Credit

Original Stash Tribute Plaque on 11th August 2013.

However, Are you bathodendropotamophobic? was archived on 28th October 2012 so it's now a little tricky to find this one.....
