Twixmas 2025
It's that time of year again Twixmas! This calls for another CacheWalker Bash!
Everyone is welcome to attend, cachers old and new. Come along for a cracking optional pre-event group walk and an enjoyable Event, complete with all the geocaching chit-chat and festive antics you could desire - this is an Event you won't want to miss, so, if you're working, make sure THIS is the day you book off!
09:45 meet for a 10:00 depart for the optional CacheWalker group walk
As with all classic CacheWalker Events, there will be a group walk beforehand, with some great views (if the weather is kind). To coincide with the Event, some new caches will be released (aren't we lucky?!). The walk is about 3.6 miles long; please bring a change of footwear to keep the venue clean, as there will be some muddy patches. Being on top of a hill, the only way is down and if we go down, we must come up. If you are taking your dogs on the walk, please keep them under control, we will be walking along side some village roads. Sorry but dogs are NOT allowed into the village hall.
12:00 to 14:00 - The Event, at Upper Rissington Village Hall
The Event is in the Community Room part of Upper Rissington Village Hall, situated within the Cotswold village of Upper Rissington, perched on top of a hill. Make sure you save those Christmas leftovers and bring them along (in whichever form you like,) ready to lunch on during the Event! In addition to this, there may even be some mince pies brought along (hint, hint). There is a well-stocked kitchen at the hall: plates, cups, cutlery, microwave, cooker, etc. and a fridge.
If you won't be joining us on the optional pre-event group walk, we have the hall booked from 11:30 and as long as we have a volunteer on the kettle, you're more than welcome to gather inside and have a warm cuppa as you wait for us to return and the start of the Event at 12:00. Sorry, but dogs are NOT allowed in the hall.

Parking: There is a good car park at the village hall, so park well, to get all the cars in.
Make sure you scroll down to see what exciting festive antics we've planned for the day.....
Other stuff
Caches
As is traditional with CacheWalker Events, new caches will be released on the day.
Santa's Raffle
In order to help fund costs for the Event, a raffle will be taking place. If you can bring along a wrapped gift, ideally Geocaching related (that you would want to receive!) that would be great. On arrival, please put your wrapped gift on Santa's Raffle table. THEN DON'T FORGET TO PURCHASE A RAFFLE TICKET.
Other activities
FTF draw - all attendees will automatically be entered into a draw for FTF of the Event. As well as bragging rights, the winner will also go home with a little prize!
TB/GC Swapping and Spotting - As usual, there will be time for trackable swapping and spotting why not drop your TBs in the box for another cacher to pick up and move on?
Fancy dress is optional but it would be nice to have some attendees festively dressed, as perhaps some of the organizers will be?
Disclaimer
All the usual blahdy, blah, blah which means you do everything at your own risk and we are responsible for absolutely nothing (including the weather). If you don't feel safe doing it, then don't do it. Simples!
