Come and meet some of Aucklands most prolific hiders as they share the secrets of their craft, how they make them, the materials they use, the glues they employ to hold them together, how they come up with the ideas for their creations and how they thoughtfully strategise their placements, or is it completely random?
Each of the Gang of Four is invited to bring some of their better creations, maybe gadget caches, or camo surprises for all to see.
After each ones presentation, there will be a time for Q&A. Does anyone want to know how a San Fran Special is made and the meaning behind the name? --- for instance.
On completion of that we will open it up for anyone who wants to make up their own creations, bring your own or use some of the containers we will provide such as Mint Tins, pill bottles, used RAT kits etc. The idea is to maybe enthuse some of you to get out and hide your own and experience the rewards that the Gang of Four get from this "sport / obsession".
Later on, when all the secrets have been spilt, we will have time for a cup of tea or coffee, share or tell tall stories, renew friendships, bury hatchets---now theres an idea for a cache--- plan adventures etc.
There is some parking available by the house for about 6 cars but make sure you can stay for the whole time, as it may be inconvienient if some want to go early, theres parking up the ROW drive and street parking so there shouldnt be a problem in that regard.
NB--theres a Geotour to Tasmania coming up in Febuary 2023 if anyone wants to go.
