Most Visited Uk Caches

[+Cryptik Souls Crew]

Which caches in the UK have the highest number of logged visits? The most visited cache I ever did was one in London recently which had 200 logs on the webpage, but I guess there must be caches all over the place with more than this(?)

As I understand it the most visited cache in the UK is a London micro by a church? I'm sure some stat-monkey will be able to tell us exactly which cache it is

 

I just checked England's oldest surviving original cache (14 Jan 2001) and it's clocked up 108 visits in 46 months - That's 2.35 visits per month on average.

Yes, St Etheldreda's by the Wombles is the one. It passed 200 visits in April this year. The total number of logs is now 261, of which around ten are notes or DNFs.

 

Stat-monkey?

SP, thanks for the Stat about Combe Hill

 

St Ethelreda's is clocking up around 8 visits / month since being placed in March 2002. When I found a list of the most visited caches worldwide, it was about 4th worldwide but falling behind the leaders (all of which were in the US).

 

The second most visited cache in the UK is 16th Century Pub with 187 finds to date.

Last Delivery has 202 logged visits

Ok, I'm a stat-monkey *for today only*!

 

St Etheldreda's - 251 finds in 31 months = 8.1 finds pre month.

16th Century Pub - 186 finds in 30 months = 6.2 finds per month.

Last Delivery - 159 finds in almost 28 months = 5.6 finds per month.

 

I suspect there are some new caches which get well over 8 finds in their first month, but this then tails off. Perhaps we should only include established caches of 6 or 12 months of age? That's if we're talking about the most found caches 'on average' as opposed to the cache which has been found the most times. Either way, St Etheldreda's is looking a very strong candidate for the UKs top cache.
