Saturday 20th August 2016
10am to 3pm
Muiravonside Country Park
The Loan
Whitecross

The aim of the event is to have fun, meet a few people and to try and encourage others to come along and give caching a try in the woods. This will be held on Saturday 20th August 2016, kicking off at 10am and running through until about 3pm.
The format will be very relaxed, with an information table about geocaching, set up in the courtyard beside the café.
There will be some dummy, muggle friendly, non logable caches hidden around the park for the event. These caches will have a surprise in every box. The caches will be on a short trail close to the established paths around the event location. It is anticipated that cachers can take the interested muggles around these in small groups and explain to them how geocaching works. Cacher’s support would be appreciated, we were all newbies once.
Please come along and share your knowledge and stories, and help introduce others to geocaching.
We are hoping to have some new published caches in the park, as well as the existing trail still being available.
The café will be open for snacks, light meals and soft drinks.
The event is wheelchair accessible but, unfortunately, the caches may not be. There are disabled facilities in the park and limited disabled parking is available at event coordiantes. The path from the car park to the event is tarmac.
Mobile signal in the park is very erratic so, if you cache with a phone, please download the caches before you arrive at the park.
Thanks to the Muiravonside Rangers for supporting geocaching and allowing all the caches in the park.
