Geocache Description:

 

 

A Fun afternoon to show others the adventure of geocaching around Vogrie Country Park

After last years successful event the Vogrie Rangers have asked if we would repeat our Welcome to Geocaching Event

 We will be down near the big house in a gazebo, We can't give exact co ords due to not knowing exactly where the gazebo will be, between 1.00 – 4.00pm to welcome anybody who would like to give caching ago and to meet up with other cachers. 

We would be very grateful if other cachers could help out with showing any 'newbies' who turn up, what the people who dive behind trees are really up to! Cachers support would be appreciated, we were all newbies once.

There will be a couple of non loggable caches nearby that cachers will be able to take muggles to whilst explaining how geocaching works. If you can help with this then, please let us know. We had a few new families last year, but are expecting more this year due to the event being advertised in the outdoor diary.

But do remember your £1.00 for parking! Tokens need to be purchased at the machine BEFORE you get to the barrier, the token works the barrier. At Vogrie there is a cafe where teas, coffees and light snacks are available to purchase. But of course cakes will be available at the gazebo like last year.

We can't promise good weather, and there may be quite a bit of mud involved in places, so bring suitable footwear. Cache hounds are welcome, although are not allowed to play in the playparks! 

INFO There are 11.5 miles of signed footpaths passing through sweeping parkland, woodlands and the River Tyne Valley. There are also two playparks, one near the car parking and another further down. A link to Vogrie country park http://www.midlothian.gov.uk/info/200142/vogrie_country_park Thanks to the kind permission of the Mid Lothian Ranger Service there will hopefully be new permanent caches for you to find any time during the day. We are also hoping that as long as the weather is ok, the mini train will be running between 2.00 and 4.00 this year. The cost I think is a £1.00, but this is not definite as its been a while since we last were on it so it might have gone up!
