Some of the local cachers will know of us for our circuits like Pickwell, Somerby, Old Dalby etc. We have only made it to 2 Events ourselves as they are few and far between in this area, so here we are trying to put that right!
Our theme for the day is "5 Types, 5 Sizes". There will be approximately 20 new caches published to coincide with the event and if you find them all on the day you will find:
5 different cache types:
Event
Traditional
Multi
Puzzle
Letterbox Hybrid
You will also find caches of 5 different sizes:
Micro
Small
Medium
Large
Unknown (Other)
We will plonk ourselves in The Blue Bell in Hoby for a couple of hours at least, from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. The pub is well known in the area for its great food and a fine selection of real ales. See the full menu. If you are likely to be eating on the day, please suggest so in your attendance pledge, just so that we can be polite and forewarn our hosts if we are looking at big numbers!
There are a few existing caches scattered around the area so if you haven't bagged those already you could be in for a fruitful day's caching.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the event, the caches or anything else, but we have a short FAQ below (helpful huh?)
We look forward to seeing you on the day.
Steve & Sarah (The Bonhams)
Update: As there will be a good amount of new caches, we will be providing a .gpx file to load onto your GPSr should you wish to avoid manually inputting them all. Just bring your device and USB lead and you can use the laptop to copy them over.
