So 8 months to do 825 caches… 25 caches a week… thought the Mega/Piratemania weeks over the past 2 years I have done over 200 caches, which would bring it down to 20 per week, and there was London Calling 2023 where I was staying in the capital for a long weekend and would probably do over 100 caches, say 350 between the two of them, leaves about 17 caches per week for the rest of the year

Obviously the easiest way to get lots of caches is to do Lab caches… 75 sets within a 15 mile radius circle gets me a lot of the way there, just got to make the most of the time available I guess to get them all done

So a sunny Easter Saturday afternoon, and time to go for a few sets

8th April 2023 – Ripley Lab Cache – 1. Information Board – cache #6176
