    Cool Milestone

    Finally reached 500 trigs on S5412 Robert Law yesterday. As I'll be 35 very shortly, I should have a reasonable chance of doubling that total before the Grim Reaper comes a-calling. A sort of slow motion race against the clock.

    Congratulations on reaching 500...! :cheers:

    But unless you've been trigpointing all your life, I would hope that you'll do a lot more than just double that figure before you shuffle off...

    Thanks. GSAK stat generator suggests agentmancuso should reach 1000 finds in 1553 days (213 Caching days) on 27/10/2012, but I don't think it factors in the currently exponential increase in the price of petrol. hmy:

    Hit 600 yesterday, at the battered remains of Whittingehame Aux 1, which is also on the YOSM list, thought that was more or less a coincidence. I'd spent well over an hour looking for another Berntsen in Dunbar, so I was glad to see this one, despite the missing lid.

    Also set eyes on the oldest Flush Bracket it Scotland, which was nice.

    Nice one Bernie. Didn't know FB 392 is oldest in Scotland.

    I didn't either till I read GRP's log later on that day. I did know it was my first less-than-5- digit-non-prefixed FB, but that's a lot less snappy.

    I got the impression from TAC that you were marooned on the high seas somewhere of St Kilda - back already, or some high tec-ery going on?
