Event times: 10:00 to 11:00
Friday 1 June 2018
The fourth in an occasional series of morning get-togethers, which aim to be within a few miles of the River Erewash, the border between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. All geocachers are welcome, for an hour of chat, the sharing of ideas, the exchange of trackables, and anything to do with our hobby.
This is as far north we can go using the Erewash idea, for the source of the river is within a few hundred yards of event location. The venue is a cafe called "The Fat Rabbit", which is part of the Portland Park Visitor Centre. Drinks, a breakfast menu, and other snacks, are available for those who fancy it, but you are under no obligation. The venue is child and dog friendly. If you don't know the area, this is just 3 miles from Junction 27 of the M1.
There is some parking next to the visitor centre, but only enough for a handful of cars. At the entrance to the park - a couple of minutes walk away - there is a large car park, and you are recommended to use this. There is disabled parking at the cafe.
Portland Park and nature reserve offers loads of walking opportunities, and there are a few geocaches placed there as well (I have not yet checked them out, so it will be an adventure for me too!)
