Thanks to some of my dear friends (you know who you are), I got infected with a virus called Geocaching back in 2011. Since then it has brought me to many places I wouldn’t have seen without it.
Statistics updated on 2024-11-29
I’ve found 1755 unique caches since my first cache find on 20 November 2011.

D1.0 and D1.5 are shaded as I try to follow a D2+ quality cache policy (few exceptions apply);
to get from ~2.22 to a difficulty average of ~2.30 it takes: 713 D2.5s, 205 D3.0s, 120 D3.5s, 85 D4.0s, 66 D4.5s or 54 D5.0s;
to get from ~1.99 to a terrain average of ~2.10 it takes: -1987 T2.0s, 491 T2.5s, 219 T3.0s, 141 T3.5s, 104 T4.0s, 82 T4.5s or 68 T5.0s;
