Cache radius

Post by Rainbow Spirit » 26 August 10 3:50 pm

The GC forum site has a thread on how many active caches there are from you in a ten mile (16km) radius.

I tried the idea for myself in Western Sydney, and came up with 148, of which 46 were mine!

I tried the same centred on Parramatta with a 50 km radius, and came up with about 1,500, I really thought there would be a lot more.

Someone from Sacramento in California has 2,200 in a 16km radius!!

Saturation for Sydney (assuming an area 50km x 50 km) is about 90,000 caches!

So how many do you have around you?

I saw that thread and worked it out before.

Near Hornsby (nthn Sydney) it comes to 428 within 16km (the metric 10 miles). 12 of those are mine. Have found about 220 of the total I think. Have found all but one within 10km.

1462 within 50km, almost sounds achievable!

386 UNFOUND within 16km of me.
I don't want to even try to figure out how many there are in total.

Let's get with the times and metricate them those Yanks. \:D/

From the great stats on GCA:

http://geocaching.com.au/cacher/Map+Monkey/density

Within 10 km radius
There are 2 caches (0 unfound). :cry:

Within 20 km radius
There are 2 caches (0 unfound). :cry:

Within 30 km radius
There are 9 caches (4 unfound). :-k

Within 40 km radius
There are 14 caches (6 unfound). :shock:

Within 50 km radius
There are 14 caches (6 unfound). [-(


Though for me, it's all about QUALITY not QUANTITY! =;
