Geocache Description:

Groundspeak are celebrating geocaching around the world this year and on the 13th April Signal’s first stop will be in Germany to enjoy the 11th annual Dönerstag. You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending a geocaching event on that day.

What?
Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around the country all at the same time. The tradition caught on!

These special events are held each year on a Thursday. In German, this makes the name “Dönerstag” a pun: The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag.” Kebab translates to “Döner.”

Last year, over 6000 players attended 233 Dönerstag events. The events were held all over Europe, from Germany and Austria to the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

You’re invited to join in this year’s Dönerstag from wherever you are in the world. Attend and log a geocaching event on April 13, 2017, to earn the souvenir.

Why?
As spooky_luke (originally from Greenwich) and CornishCandy from SW England are visiting the NE on this day, we thought that hosting this event on the Prime Meridian would be appropriate!

Where?
We will meet by the sign at the listed coordinates, where parking is available nearby.

When?
Thursday 13th April 2017 – Between 07:30 and 08:00 for the cachers who are free to pop-in before work/starting their day.



If you are thinking about coming to this event, please post a Will Attend log, as if changes need to be made, I will make an announcement on this page and you will receive notification of the changes
