Yes, that's right, on Sunday 29th January, we'll be meeting at the
Cart & Horses pub, in Kingsworthy (just north of Winchester),
less than 50 yards from the A33.
Getting here is simple: from most directions, get yourself to
Junction 9 of the M3 (that's the one to the North-East of
Winchester) and take the A34 / A33 turning. Keep to the right-hand
lane, as after about half a mile the road splits... the A34 to the
left, the A33 to the right. Into the 50 MPH zone, around the bend,
and take the turning on the left: the pub is about 50 yards on the
right.
The pub opens now at 11:00am, and Lunch is served from 12:00
noon. The obvious choice is the Carvery, which costs £7.95 for big
cachers, and £4.50 for little cachers, but other options are
available (but expect a longer wait!). The carvery will be offering
Beef, Gammon and Turkey, along with a Yorkshire Pud, Roast &
Boiled spuds, and a choice of 4 vegs! *** Please can you indicate
clearly how many of you (adults / kids) will be wanting to have
Carvery lunch, so I can let the pub know fairly accurate numbers a
few days before: you can post a note here, or leave a message in
the GC.com forums *** (Don't worry: even if you just turn up on the
day, you'll still get lunch!) They seem to be well organised...
last year noone waited more than 5 mins for their roast lunch!
Now, this year, things at the pub will work differently: we'll
be spread through the restaurant & pub... There will be a
caching quiz (thakn go to Paul G0TLG for organising it!) plus there
will be a cache for the day (not sure yet if it will remain as a
proper, loggable cache).
There's plenty of other caches in the area, including "Itchen to
get back to the pub", which we place for last year's event, and
starts just opposite the pub!
