Great thread.
To begin with, I, similarly to
@Bear and Ragged, wanted to find a cache a month - believe it or not, I have always missed one or two months a year for one reason or another. So far, I have succeeded, but still haven't found one for this month
- hope to find as many as possible in the next couple of weeks, though.
This is partly also due to the fact that I set myself the target of beating my most in a year, 522. I am currently on 510, which isn't bad considering I've only found 29 since August - I hope to get as near to 600/#2300 as possible! (90 caches to go for both - can I realistically do it?
)
Another thing I wanted to do was find my 2000th. I did this at the end of July, and found 100 caches throughout the same week, beating my best in a month at the same time - but by just a couple of caches
What haven't I achieved? My next series is still not published (it WILL be next June, after exams), I've not found 100+ in a day and I haven't really filled in as much of my D/T grid as I had hoped. But there's always next year
So, next year I hope I achieve the above and it would also be great to reach my 3000th - or, at the very least, as near to it as possible!
I usually write a blog entry reviewing my year's caching nearer to the end of the year, announcing which cache I have crowned best of the year. So keep an eye out for that if you're interested in reading more
But it's not all about the numbers, and I've been to some great places this year and found some special caches
