Treviglas College - CITO Event 06 - 03/04/2012 Cache-In Trash-Out Event
This event is a litter collection exercise across the Nunns Cross and Royal Hill areas of Dartmoor. (This event has been cleared with the Commoners association).
The event encourages individuals to undertake litter collecting across the moorland area, on Tuesday 3rd April 2012, between 9am and midday (Three hour window).
Defined features on the moor, which are areas of outstanding natural beauty are worth visiting, (and are being targeted for litter collection) are:
Plymm Steps, Higher Hartor Tor, Nunns Cross, Crane Hill,Peat Cot and Royal Hill.
There are however several other features on the moor, including Cairns, Cists, Settlements and Stone Circles which are amazing features.
During the time frame of this CITO Event, three teams of students from Treviglas Community College will be out walking on the moor. These teams are undertaking a practise walk as part of their Gold Expedition section of their Duke of Edinburgh's Award. These groups will be walking from Plymm Steps across Royal Hill towards Bellever Tor and woods during the course of the day, collecting litter as they go. They have several Geo-Cachers as members, will be carrying at least one Travel-Bug (Copy Tag) per team (Please ask to see the TB), and will be collecting litter along the way.
Please enjoy your walk, collect litter along the way, and enjoy the scenery, and support the Commoners Association by the removal of litter left by other inconsiderate moorland users.
For safety, it is advisable to ensure that you undertake the following prior to going onto the moor:
a). Ensure you are properly clothed and equipped.
b). Make sure you have a mobile phone, map & compass.
c). Always let someone know where you are going.
d). We advise you avoid the Leat.
e). Read all the Geocaching.com CITO information.
f). Remove all the litter you have collected.
g). No liability is accepted by the organisers.
h). Light rain/drizzle/mist will not cancel the event.
NOTE:
To varify you have attended the event, you must sign the CITO log book, on the day of the event itself, between 9am and Midday (Staffed 9am-10.30am). This log book will be located in a well marked box under some rocks, near to white Ford Transit Minibus FT08MRO (unless it has moved for check-pointing students), which will be situated at the Parking Bay on the unclassified road at Map Ref: SX6040570887
Gloves and rubbish bags will be available when CITO point is staffed.
This is very much seen as a 'Do it yourself CITO event', and whilst the college students will be collecting litter across the moor, you are welcome to dip-in/dip-out where-ever and when-ever you like. Feel free to collect as much or as little litter as you like, and if you want to meet-up with one of our teams then thanks great, if not, no worries, just enjoy the moor, take in a couple of caches whilst you are in the area and remove a little litter, and take it home with you.
