Geocache Description:

A caching event to meet fellow cachers, to discuss all things Geocaching, exchange Travel Bugs and Coins, and get help with those puzzle's you just can’t solve, whilst having fun doing it all.

The Background

Having lived in Torquay and Exeter for a number of years and spending nearly all of my caching time in the great county of Devon, I have made a number of friends through the caching community here and neighbouring counties. Living in Swindon now, I don't get to see these friends very often and it would be great to meet everyone again. A lot has changed in a year since I held my birthday event here on the 30th November 2011. It would fantastic to get all the cachers together again and catch up. Everyone welcome new and old and you will have the opportunity to discuss all things Geocaching, exchange Travel Bugs and Coins, and get help with those puzzle caches that you are having difficulty to solve. I know Devon now has a lot of events to choose from but it would be great to see you all again if you can make this midweek event.

The End Bit

I hope you can attend the event and I look forward to meeting caches old and new. Thanks also to Bishopflyer for assisting me in organising the venue and menu as its rather challenging organising from Swindon so her help is invaluable.
