300 Geocaches

This summer I've been a very busy Geocacher ;), doubling my finds since June 22nd. Notable is the addition of two new countries (UK and France) and my current series of 50 days of continuous Caching (since August 10th).

Here are updated statistics about my finds:

Statistics generated on 29.09.2013
pratchettfan has a total of 300 finds at 300 different geocaches since 22.06.2012
( 980 mdCachingPoints )

Average finds per year* 236
Year:                 20122013
Caching days:                 47 102
*The 'Average' is an projected average taking into account the exact timespan between first caching day and gpx file date.
Example: If you started caching a week ago with 1 find the projected average will be 52 finds/year (1 per week).
