Time to upgrade those skills? Learn some new ones? Then this is the day for you. Following on from the success of TramperTed and Sp8sm8s skills day a few years ago it is time to brush up on those skills and get the most out of our GPSr's. Learn some camo techniques and maybe some insight to puzzle solving techniques. There are also workshops on placing caches, trackables, Earthcaches,page design, GSAK and pocket queries. We have not forgotten those smart phone users either. Whilst you may not have time to do them all we hope you get something out of the day and remember there is another skills day in Hamilton on Sunday GC3KFX4 which is covering the same topics and which you are welcome to attend any of those workshops you missed.
