This cache was originally placed to celebrate the 100th "Happening" Event Cache, due to have taken place in April 2020, but postponed to September 2021 due to the pandemic.
For nearly 9 years, local cachers have been meeting monthly to swap stories and trackables, drink beer and coffee and to chat all things geocaching.
Of course, due to circumstances beyond everyone's control, the event (GC8T80N) was delayed until 25th September 2021. Follow this link for more information. Why not challenge yourself to find all the celebration caches in this series?
They have been placed right across the Happening catchment area. You could even drop in to a future Happening event and tell us all about your adventures.
The term "hundred" is first recorded in the laws of Edmund l (939–46) as a measure of land and the area served by a hundred court. A hundred may once have referred to an area of 100 hides. In the early Anglo-Saxon period a hide was the amount of land farmed by and required to support a peasant family. Up to the nineteenth century Bedfordshire was divided into 9 hundreds, plus the borough of Bedford.
