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.
