Well it is nearly the end of 2019, and it will soon be 2020, but we are still in the middle of the festive season between Christmas and Hogmanay. So why not come and celebrate what is good about friendship, geocaching and Halifax.
Myself and my good friends FM1906 and EavesClan welcome you to join us for drink of Glühwein up high above Calderdale on the Crags at the Albert Promenade, which is in the Skirfare area of Halifax, where hopefully we will see the sun setting over Calderdale for one of the last times in 2019.
On the last Sunday of the year, in the words of the Parting Glass -
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all.....
Or in the language of Burns -
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.
So come along, onto the crag, share good cheer, friendship, and raise a drink to friendship and adventures new in the coming year. Shake a hand, embrace and look to the west as hopefully we will catch the golden glow of the sun, as it drops, with the golden glow of Glühwein warming you from the inside.
We shall provide the welcome, the Glühwein and mince pies.
If you want to bring your own cup, mug, tankard, glass or beaker you can, but we will also provide some.
All are welcome, be you from Yorkshire, or further afield.
The event will last from 1530 to 1615, on the 29/12/2019, and will last a minimum of 30 minutes.
The welcome will be good, and the Glühwein will be warm.
If you do not like Gluwhein, perhaps a dram, or soft drink may be your liking.
Be aware that the event is taking place on an exposed crag with drops, so you need to be able to look after yourself, you will also need a torch, as once the sun sets it will be dark. If you bring a child or animal please keep them close to hand for their own safety.
If you intend to come, please log an attend, so that we can prepare the correct amount of Glühwein and number of home made mince pies, we don't want anyone to come and not be able to fully enjoy the experience.
The caching community in West Yorkshire is a friendly one, so whether you are an experienced cacher or new to the activity, come along, everyone is welcome.
Halifax is well served by the motorway nearby and access to the location is easy to get to.
