Geocaching 101 is a chance for new and experienced geocachers to
get together to ask advice, guidance and gather lots of great
tips.
If you're brand new to geocaching, it's an excellent opportunity
to meet other geocachers who may have a bit more experience under
their belt.
The venue is close to the Carlingford railway station and the
548 bus route. Drinks and snacks are available in the club.
As it is a club, please wear appropriate clothing (e.g. no
flip-flops).
The purpose of this get together is to share tips and tricks on
geocaching and to update you on developments with the
association.
Presentations
EcoDave from EcoTeam will take us back to the early days of
geocaching - a time when 'Mega' caches were the rage. These caches
were months in the planing, full of hype, mystery and suspense.
You'll hear about the famous Get Smart interactive cache story,
Achilles and one or two of the major caches that were firsts in
their genre.
Following Dave's presentation, Paul Bakker, distributor of RAM
Mounts in Australia, will discuss how to safely mount your GPSr
safely in your car. He will also bring along the newly released
Lowrance Endura range of GPS receivers.
Schedule
The meeting will begin at 10.30 am sharp and conclude at 12.30
pm. The first hour is reserved for the presentations, while the
second is set aside for social time.
Free tea and coffee is available and the bistro is open, so you
can purchase a meal after the meeting and continue chatting.
This is a perfect opportunity for new geocachers to pick up some
tips on finding and hiding geocaches. Don't forget you can also
swap geocoins and travel bugs at the event. A special area will be
set aside for trackable swaps and discoveries.
Please register your intention to attend by leaving a 'will
