Nine sites have achieved this superior level of performance since 1995. Hartebeesthoek just recently passed this milestone. Here are the sites that have achieved this performance level: Location Frequency Comments ------------- --------- ---------------------------------- Monument Peak 30 5 different years Graz 9 5 different years Yarragadee 8 all in 2002, current record holder Mt Stromlo 3 1999 and 2000 Orroral 2 closed Nov 1998 Greenbelt 1 2000 week 44 Hartebeesthoek 1 2002 week 28 Wettzell 1 2002 week 14 Herstmonceux 1 2002 week 14 Below is a list of sites that have surpassed this bar, since 1995, ordered by weekly pass total. Here again to avoid accounting scandals only actual passes are counted (i.e. not pass segments).
