Geocache Description:

GSAK Wizardry

If you are going to be serious about geocaching, then you need a tool to manage your geocaching experience.

GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) is probably the most used tool worldwide for managing all aspects of your geocaching experience.


This event will take place as follows:

  • Wednesday 19 September from 17h00 sharp - 20h00
  • Marriott Boardroom
  • Delamore Road
  • Hillcrest

Many thanks to Team K-W Family who have arranged the venue!!

IMPORTANT NOTE

The venue can seat a maximum of 10 people (including myself and Team K-W Family).  This means that 8 seats are available and will be allocated in strict order of 'Will Attend" logs.  You snooze, you lose (and will have to wait for the next happening).  Hopefully we will be able to squeeze in a few more if required.
