Achievements for 2012

Postby FFloss » Mon Dec 31, 2012 10:02 am

I added a new continent (and a new country) to the places I have cached. :D


I also bagged another 12 Munros (250 down, 33 to go) :D


What did you achieve in 2012?

I got one new country (France).
I got six new counties. The North of England is very nearly coloured in. There is just a hole that is the same shape as County Durham.
I got fewer caches than in any other year so far. Just 154. I don't necessarily regard this as an achievement but its interesting.
I got 2 of my photographs in the 2013 Mega Calendar.
I held an event at which only 2 other people turned up to.
The best cache of the year had to be GCG99A Hill145
I only placed one physical cache. Again I don't necessarily regard this as an achievement.
and finally the best acheivement of all :)
I only looked for caches in interesting places.

The only real goal I had for 2012 was the consecutive caching :D . Ticked that one off the list with a slightly deluxe three hundred and sixty six days of caching for the full calendar year :D , I started early (because I could :lol: ) and finished late to prove the point :ugeek: , with a total of three hundred and eighty seven consecutive days :D (I had apathy for the day :shock: :lol: so I checked with some geeks ;) to ensure there was no significance to the number 8-) ; so if there is it's their fault :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

Cheers

Schnuz.
