However......a
walked mileage competition - encouraging people to get off their bums and OUT of their cars - might be worthwhile

I am using my coin as a way of recording the mileage of my normal caching habits and am not going out specifically chasing miles. Most of my 'miles' done have been whilst working away from home ... or on the way there/back. In the last 7 weeks I have driven 4500 miles (not out of choice!) .... and not used trains or planes as some people have
.
I would definitely be in the lower league table if I was relying on my weekend caching as that would only be the odd one or two caches and is normally within 20 miles of home .... although it would normally involve walking and not cache & dashes.
I also forget to reset my track log when walking ... so would never be accurate.
