We all end up dead someday, some of us may even end up under a stone, seeing as how today is International Earthcaching day we thought an event celebrating one of the key movers and shakers in the Geological world might be appropriate.
Afterwards you can grab an EarthCache or two whilst here, but if you've found those already then fear not for we will have a brand new EarthCache for you to discover at the end of the event, you will earn the EarthCache day souvenir for finding any of them.
Welcome to the tenth in a ongoing series aimed at bringing together Geocachers old and new from all parts of the community in a beautiful greenspace setting in the heart of York, caching should after all be an outdoor experience, particularly Earth Caching.
Each month we will be at a different location, simply seek us out and join in!
