Geocache Description:

A chance for all hoopy froods out there to remember & celebrate the life & great imagination of Douglas Adams by joining the world in International Towel Day.
There will be a picnic but don't worry - there won't be any reading of Vogon poetry!
 


A picnic meeting in Hazlehead Park from 12.00 midday to about 2.00pm to celebrate the life & brains of Douglas Adams and his ever popular trilogy in five parts 'The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
I will wait in the carpark for around 20min before we head across to the final picnic site, so do just come and join us at those co-ordinates if delayed. If you can only come for a short period of time, or want to stay longer both are fine - I will be around until about 4pm. As it has been suggested by one hoopy frood that this year's theme should be 'tea' "Is Tea the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything? The premise to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that the answer to the BIG question of what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything is...42. What can this mean? Well I think I have the answer: 42 = Forty Two = For Tea Two = Tea for Two !" (Isabella 'Izzy' Von Lichtan) please bring along flasks of boiling water and your favourite brew to raise a mug in toast to Douglas.
*note - favourite brews are not to include Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters.

For those who want to join in there will also be a fancy-dress competition for best costume of characters from the series. Small, useful geocaching related prizes will be offered for the top three. (Grown-up kids also allowed to enter!)
Spare towels will also be available for those who may have inadvertently forgotten their own - just in case we do meet a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal - but please, not too much hand to hand combat! smiley

We will also hopefully have time to go and explore some of the park - the maze etc and complete some of the geocaches hidden around the area.

I will be waiting by the main carpark (see waypoints) either clearly visible or, if it is raining, I will be in the shelter built beside it.
