Bringing in the New Year differently with Rocha's
Boat Barking Bonanza
So, another year is about to end so let's start the New Year off with an interesting event.
Talking of another year leaving, reminds me of these commandments for the more senior cachers...
- Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice on how a cache should be set
- "In Style" are the clothes that still fit and mud/nettles tolerant
- You don't need anger management. You need people to stop annoying you by saying that was a QEF
- Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work, why oh why put a cache in ivy!?
- The biggest lie you tell yourself is, "I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it." Especially bonus numbers
- "On time" is when you get there.
- Even duct tape can't fix muggles, but it sure does muffle the sound of them
- It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?
- Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.
- Growing old should have taken longer
- Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up especially if it's on social media
- #12 - You still haven t learned to act your age and hope you never will.
- ...And one more:
- "One for the road" means peeing before you leave the house for that cache dash
Bring out your boats and torches, let's get that log mounted on the floating log for those who want to sign it.
There is a suitable area for gathering, launching of boats/canoes/air beds (not recommended)
Now to make it more interesting, dig out your Christmas / festive jumpers & bring your excess chocolates for disposal.
The event will be open between 00:00 to 00:30 (or later unless we get too cold/wet)
The area is not lit, so you will need to a torch and be very careful, the area next to the water is uneven ground and have steps near the water.
Ok, so who would be mad enough to paddle in the New Year in style?
Start the year with a smile...
Warning, this event has been set by idiots
