Looking at it, I don't see too much wrong with it - it is the
Cheltenham Circular, and Cheltenham is surrounded by hills, so
the walk doesn't look too bad - they have all been found anyway
excluding one and the bonus.
Notice who got FTF on the Wherigo - without "Going the distance"
- how on earth did you do that JJ - was it by accident? :D
One to watch for now I think....

Numbers 26,27,40,42,47,59,71,82,94 and 95 still not found.

Oh - I didn't notice so many :o
Now that does indicate the poor quality of the hides, the
popularity of the CC, or both...

I've already got a FTF this month and the diy is taking up my
time - weather isn't helping with caching :o

You can also add no 23 to the not found list or should that be
the missing list.

Location: Southern England, United Kingdom
Raggeh posted a note for CCCC001: Welcome to the Racecourse
(Traditional Cache) at 7/15/2012
Log Date: 7/15/2012
Thought I'd write a note on cache #001 as it seemed appropriate!
I attempted the entire series today.
It was 5am and I started the route at #006 (easy parking and
I've already got #'s 003-005 as they've been adopted into the
CCCC series) and worked my way clockwise. Unfortunately the
route at the moment, is savage. It's incredibly muddy in places
- after all, it IS summer - and incredibly wet in others. My
walking boots just couldn't take the punishment (mainly down to
hunting for #035 ankle deep in water) and I was wet through from
the knee down.
I got a total of 7 DNFs out of 29 attempted caches (24%, ouch!).
The lengthy and fruitless searches put me way off the pace of
an estimated 15 hours, and by the time I was sitting between #'s
037 and 038 drying my feet, I estimated it would take 20+ hours.
That's a long time. That and not wanting to suffer the
consequences of Trench Foot, I decided to give in and make the
6km hike (on the roads) back to the car. On the plus side, the
sun came out, and my boots were on their way to drying nicely.
Not wanting to put the hard work that went into creating this
series down, I do have a few niggles. Some caches are
mislabeled size wise - nanos are not micros, and micros are not
smalls - it makes a difference! Some caches needed hints,
whilst others needed better (or just less complicated) ones.
There were also several occasions where the co-ords seemed
inaccurate.
So, I attempted to GeoSmash this special mega-series, but
instead, this mega-series GeoSmashed me.
:o :o :o :o :o :o Our comments have been justified :D What do
you all think about that?!!

Well at least reading all the logs is keeping me amused. ;D
It's a shocker isn't it. :o

Yes, the logs have been quite amusing :D
You'd think they would have come out with an amazing loop,
wouldn't you? :o

Better leave this till it's nice and dry and CO's can check on
their caches ::)
