Cache Log Verbosity...

Post by Tealby » 07 October 10 7:55 pm

Following on from a recent thread started by ian-and-penny, I was intrigued by a comment by norkmeister
As someone who has hit the 4,000 character limit in the past ...
I never knew there was a limit on cache logs (although I suppose it is only to be expected) & it got me wondering exactly how verbose is norkmeister & how do I compare! From the GCA stats:

Norkmeister's verbosity is:
Average of 82 words per log
Longest log of 762 words on Traditional Namadgi in Namadgi by mtbikeroz

In comparison, my verbosity is "only":
Average of 72 words per log
Longest log of 638 words on Multi-cache Go'n'do - St Paul's Lowbank by Jardry

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone can top norkmeister in either average or longest log??

Well, we just had to have a look and see what the famous 'one word ' was on that frustrating metal platform overlooking the wetlands spot in Sunbury. Could think of many possible one word answers for this one ,but it was only............"SUCCESS ". :lol:

You used to often see Tangles logs go over two logs due to length. I miss his often entertaining logs...

Here's an example that is also our most verbose.
