Geocache Description:

A series of caches honouring the UK mega caches that came before us!
A 5 mile (8km) flat loop along largely along wide pathways or lanes (except for the first bit nearest the HMC). You'll see lots of vehicles on this loop, what's the strangest that you spot?



Mega Wales 2011 (The UK's 4th Mega Event)


A cache placed during the UK Mega 2013 Mega event to serve as a reminder of UK's 6th Annual Travelling Mega Event coming to the West Midlands in 2013.

The UK's Fourth Mega Event was on Sunday 31st July 2011
at Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, Wales

but it is worth noting that pirate activity at the time meant that the "UK's fourth Mega" was actually the fifth Mega in the UK!
(GC2921G)

The total number of attendees was 1362 people from about 20 countries.

Associated Events:
  • Flash & Dash in Pembrey
  • Wild and Wonderful - St David
  • Mega Camping 2011
  • Picnic at The Big Apple
  • Picnic on Pen-y-Fan
  • A Taste of the North West
  • A Big Day Out at Big Pit
  • Cardiff Bay Perambulation
  • and 14 others

Committee:
The week of events where organised by a committee consisting of Jonathan, Gordon, Hywel, Jeff, Simon, Lyndon, Ellen, Liz, Gail, Debbie, Ruth and Louise.

Geocoins:
Mega Wales produced 5 geocoins – three simply to raise funds, one reserved for Supporters and one as a reward to Volunteers (the latter for anyone who helped with the organisation and running of the Mega and side events). The fundraising coins featured a miner's lamp (with lit and unlit versions), the 2010 Ryder Cup (held in Wales) and the first ever slate geocoin, which was an entirely Welsh product.

This cache was placed by Sharant (2013 UK Mega Team)
