Current Goal

To count off all the counties of England. Easy!

Please keep the TB within England: If it gets around all the English counties, I will then move it into Scotland and Wales later on.

About This Item

The Counter... ready to start counting

It's a counter. For some while the "List of Counties thread" has been cycling around on the UK Geocaching Forum. There are lots of varying ideas about what the "official" list should be - So I've decided we need to check them off.

Scroll down this link to see the list of English Ceremonial Counties to be counted.

Starting off in Cornwall (No.1 obviously), this TB needs to visit every English county. If you place it into a cache in a new county that it hasn't visited before you must declare the name of the county in the log when you drop the TB into the cache AND (the exciting bit!) you get to click the counter.
This TB will start its journey from the Kernow Kachers Event on 6th April 2008.

COUNTIES COUNTED AND CLAIMED SO FAR - Cornwall (MrsBlorenge), Devon (McYeo), Somerset (Wood Nymph), Dorset (The Squirrellys), Hampshire (JN VII+), Wiltshire (juliadream), East Sussex (juliadream), West Sussex (EastSussexDales), Kent (EastSussexDales), Gloucestershire (CaptainNavi), Worcestershire (crimsonrambler), Nottinghamshire (Paneke), Yorkshire East Riding (47 Pirate), Shropshire (Janerosa), Northamptonshire (Daansea), Staffordshire (jackhaye), Bedfordshire (mk rambling rose), Buckinghamshire (runningduck), Hertfordshire (nottheactor),  Norfolk (norfolk12),  Cambridgeshire (Charlie Lima & G), Suffolk (Redema),  Essex (06darnol), Greater London (PuReWaRRioR69), Lennyemmy (Surrey), andrewlambert (West Yorkshire), DaveSTech (North Yorkshire), Thejenks7 (Herefordshire), ghekophyte (Warwickshire), cache on wheels (Wiltshire)  Info correct to 27 June 2014.

This counter is currently showing 2247 counties visited! Having looked at the map on the website, I think it might be exaggerated! Will see if we can drop soon in a new county - or if not back into a box to be moved on by someone else!
