We will be taking the official image at 12pm on the dot, so please try and be in attendance by then!
Winter in the Bluies, what a time of year, it could be blue skies, or, it could be raining, sleeting and cold, we have nearly had everything at these events! So just come prepared for any weather conditions and you will be fine, be assured, it may at the very least be cold.
This is the 12th year this event has been held and only the 3rd time to be held in winter, the first time we held it in winter, well, we won't speak of that. Lets just say, freezing cold, horizontal sleeting rain, miserable. But, we all had fun.
Events are a great opportunity to come along and meet some of your fellow cachers who share a passion for geocaching, no matter what your experience, age or sex, everyone is welcome to turn up. Many great friendships have been made by coming to events such as this, come along and spend the afternoon talking geocaching. It's also a great opportunity to meet the people who are placing the caches you are doing, and beat them up.
The Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney are a caching paradise, good sized caches, amazing locations, challenges of the physical, mental and technical, what more could you want really? An event perhaps?? This really is the social event of the year for anyone who caches on the mountains.
Like all previous years, we will hold this at Wentworth Falls lake, where there is a large shelter and a double BBQ. But of course, as we found in previous years, we are not always early enough to grab the shelter, but, we do try our best. If we are NOT at the main shelter, look to your left and I am sure you will see us, I mean, it's not like geocachers actually blend in is it???
We plan to arrive early so we can try and procure the shelter and BBQs, we plan to start at 10:00am and finish at 2pm. When you arrive, look for the Geocaching logos, just in case there are other picnickers there on the day.
There are kids playground, toilets, picnic tables and BBQs, but if you want to be safe, bring something to cook on and sit on just in case. And lets not forget the lake itself! Kids are more than welcome as there will already be a few running around of various ages! BYO everything.
Don't be shy now!! If you have some coins or bugs, bring them along! People would love to view and discover them.
We would love to see you at the event - Hope to see you there! If you did not come last year, and you know who you are, we hope to see you there this year.
Don't forget to post a "Will Attend" log to say you are coming and with how many people.
Lastly, make sure you put this on your watch list so you get any updates as they happen.
