   I’m missing a few more, but not many; scoring somewhere in the 40s.

   I’m not sure geocaching existed when I were a lad, unless you count the classic treasure hunt as geocaching’s forebear and equivalent.

   I admit I need to look up what “bouldering” is.

      I think it’s what we used to call “scrambling” in the scouts, but presumably health-and-safety’d

   I did plenty of those in my youth, but can’t for the life of me remember how many were by the time I was 11¾. It helped enormously to have grandparents who lived in a Sussex hamlet near the sea and backing onto a farm.

   I’d have done more if the list was “try to…”. Never could get the knack of grass trumpets or stone skimming.
