Geocachers around the world celebrate International Cache In Trash Out weekend annually by hosting and participating in Cache In Trash Out Events in their local area. Events might be focused on litter clean-up, removal of invasive species, revegetation efforts or building trails. Together, we make an enormous positive impact. Did we mention that we also have a bit of fun while we're at it?
Groundspeak has confirmed that there will be a special souvenir for those logging an Attended at a CITO event on this weekend.
Cache In, Trash Out
Cache In Trash Out, or CITO, is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002, geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks and other cache-friendly places. Through these volunteer efforts, we help preserve the natural beauty of our outdoor resources!
The Event
The event will take place on Sunday 26th April, 2015 from 12pm. I expect the clean up to end by 2pm. We will meet in the parking area at Bray Harbour (see starting coordinates), before splitting in to smaller teams and cleaning up the harbour and riverwalk area.
Directions
Cars can be parked free of charge in the harbour on a Sunday. If parking spots are full up here, there is another car park around the corner infront of Martello Terrace. Please note that parking is at your own risk.
If you don't have access to a car, you can take the DART to Bray and turn left after walking over the tracks. GZ is a 5 minute walk from here. The 145 bus will also leave you to Bray DART station.
Please take care of junior geocachers near the water, particularly at the harbour
