12.13.14...15.16...17 Sunset at Coaley Peak Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

seherazade: December 13, 2014, was the last day this century that the date as rendered by Americans read in sequential order: 12/13/14. For us Brits, it was, of course, 11/12/13, 11 December 2013.

The next sequential date in the United States by simply counting up won’t come until January 2, 2103: 01/02/03 - that’s 89 years from now! In Europe, we'll have to hang on that little bit longer... to February 1st 2103...

Thanks again to everyone who made this is a really a really enjoyable and memorable event [:)][:)][:)]

Geocache Description:

Just when we thought consecutive number dates were all over...a chance to celebrate

12/13/14!


Here in Blighty we all know that talking about 12/13/14 is just not on....laugh

but as we geocachers have had to get used to the American date system...

here's the reward.....

 

Coaley Peak is picnic site and viewpoint situated at the edge of the Cotwold escarpment and along the Cotswold Way. 

Sunsets here can be truly spectacular as the view towards the West is one of the finest in the Cotswolds.

The event is not really intended as a flash mob event but, weather permitting, let's aim for

a team photo at 15.16 hrs and 17 seconds !

No games or quizzes...just sign the logbook for entry into  

a draw for a special geocoin (currently on order!) heart

and, with a bit of luck, a souvenir for your profile page! heart

Unless it's pouring with rainsurprise, blowing a galesurprise or snowingsurprise  I will be at a picnic table at GZ between 14.30 and 16.30 with coffee and tea supplies and a few mince pies if you are lucky heartpossibly even with the kettle on (a barbecue) surprise Bring your own winter picnic if you feel so inclined! surprise 

If it IS pouring with rainsurprise, blowing a galesurprise or snowingsurprise, I will still be there with logbook, geocoin prize (and a few mince pies...if you are lucky!) heart but possibly car-bound....one never knows in Blighty wink

 

The sun will set at 16.00, not long after our special moment, so if the weather conditions are kind we could be in for a treat smiley 

 

As well as the view (weather permitting), there is a neolithic burial chamber, the Nympsfield Long Barrow, to admire at GZ and some really good caches close by.

These include excellent puzzle caches, GC267JH and GC446E2, and the superb night cache at another nearby burial chamber, Hetty Peglar's Tump GC4WZ8Hsmileysmileysmiley

Looks like I'm going to be able to get some of commerative Flash Mob 12-13-14 geocoins from the USA. The design will be as illustrated below. Would anyone like to reserve one? Please let me know as soon as you can.

By the way, credit is due to The Blorenges for inspiring this copycat cache by way of their GC4PBHV "11-12-13-14-15-16 Foxhunter Flask Flash" event which I very much enjoyed in 2013smiley

So, to sum up à Bl'orenge.....come and celebrate the notable date and time, an event on Saturday 13th December, at 15:16 hrs (not forgetting the 17 seconds. Precision is everything!)
