The location offers plenty of free parking at the two parking areas detailed as waypoints below, as well as a magnificent view (Weather permitting of course!
).
For those wishing to really enter into the spirt of the duck race and personally celebrate two of the Deadly Ducks ‘Gluttony’ and ‘Greed’ a monstrous burger van is present, offering a wide range of fare such as ‘The Jawbreaker!’, ‘The Gutbuster!’, ‘Cheesy chips’ and of course tea and coffee for the caffeine inflicted at a very reasonable price. Click here for a full Menu. I have been reliably informed that it's one of the city’s Poke-stops. So, there's something on offer for you and your pocket monsters.
For those wishing to carry on after the meet there is a pub conveniently located across the road.
Don’t forget to bring any of the HQ Duck Dash trackables along to the meet so they can officially finished the race and begin their next adventure. As well as a log book to sign there will be a ‘Duck registering point’ allowing other cachers to discover them and gain their associated icon, assuming anyone actually finds one and brings it along that is!
.
Groundspeak is producing a special souvenir (see below) for International Geocaching Day, and this souvenir will be given to all who find a cache or attend an event (Like this one! ) on this day.
This event is open to all geocachers and their families, no matter how long you have been caching. A special invitation is extended to all newbies and also to visiting out of town geocachers.
I just hope I won't be eating my 'Mega-ducka-saurus with extra chilli sauce' alone!
UPDATE: 21/08/16
These are the six duck racers to have passed the finishing line at this event : -
- Q: How do you turn a duck into a soul singer? A: Put it in the microwave until it's Bill Withers.
- There are 2 ducks. One duck pulls his pants down. What does the other duck see? His but-quack.
- A duck walks in to a pharmacy. He tells the pharmacist 'give me some chap-stick, put it on my bill."
