Geocache Description:

This is the Isle of Man event cache page.
30th July 2006
Born from the desire of our 11 year old daughter to visit her “friend” Ricky (Shynaggh) who lives on the Isle of Man we decided that one of our holidays would be a week on the Island trying to do all the caches
This event was set up with a lot of help from Happy Humphrey

One of us (lets blame hmmm Mark!) said what about organising an event cache during our holiday.Lynn then landed the job of actually organising things ! So here it is the Isle of Man event cache.

Date of the event is the 30th July 2006. Yep that is the 30th July
2006 and yes it is a Sunday night.
Anyone who comes and camps at the site during our stay and says hello can log the event as well.

We will be on the Island from Friday 28th July to Saturday 5th August
Coincidentally the Manx International Rally runs from the 3rd of August to the 6th of August so plenty to see and do as well as all those geocaches.
