Geocache Description:

Celebrating 10 years of Geocaching

2 till 7pm (there you go Jaz) on the 1st of May

On the 3rd of May it will be 10 years since the first Geocache was hidden! From one cache 10 years ago there are now close to a million around the world around 55,000 of them in the UK.

That being a Monday I thought it would be a good idea to have an event on a Saturday afternoon just before so we could celebrate the invention of the game that is now giving so many people so much pleasure (and occasionally a little pain).

The 2nd of May was the day when selective availability was turned of and 24 satellites gave us the ability to hide and find film can in Ivy covered trees ;).

The history of how this lead to geocaching can be found here:

Any way, if you get the opportunity, pop along and swap stories and meet friends old and new.

The pub does not do food, maybe we can all bring some food along to share.
