Re: So, how was your caching year?

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  :o - 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  :o

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  ;D

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  :)
