+Haggis Hunter Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 This had slipped down to the third page, so I thought I would bump it back up. Despite not getting a lot of attention on here, this event is looking to be yet again another popular one. The main thread for the event, which is on the GeoX forum, can be viewed here.

+Haggis Hunter Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Bumping up to say less than a month to go, and Big Wolf and I have located places for the event caches to be hidden. Should be a good day. Quote Link to comment
+Teuchters Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Big Wolf and I have located places for the event caches to be hidden. How many caches will there be on the day? Can you do another Bookmarks cache list for the existing ones nearby please? Quote Link to comment
+Big Wolf Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 There will be 4 caches set for the day. I will also create a bookmark list for those caches nearby and will put another post to this and the geox thread once its live. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Can you do another Bookmarks cache list for the existing ones nearby please? Another option you have is that I will be adding them to my Edinburgh Caches by Car bookmark list, once they go live. Quote Link to comment
+Big Wolf Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 All caches within 5000m of the event have now been added to a bookmark list.

+Big Wolf Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have just added up all those who said they would or may come to the event and have listed them below. It looks like there should be about 50 people in total but could you have a check and get in touch with me if either your name is not on the list, you are not going to be able to make it or if the number of people coming in your party has changed.

+Big Wolf Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Thanks to those who have emailed with thier updates. Looks like it is going to be the biggest gathering at a SGDO yet. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks to those who have emailed with thier updates. Looks like it is going to be the biggest gathering at a SGDO yet. I hope the pub can cater for so many? Last year we were devided, only by some steps, because we got about 20 more people than expected. It was still a good day though, as I am sure this will be?

+Haggis Hunter Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 The Tupperware Hunters have made a suggestion for an event here. For those people that don't realise and can make it to Edinburgh for the 28th January, this event is exactly what he has suggested. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Less than a week to go until the event, there are going to be in excess of 50 people coming to the event, and as already said, 4 easy caches will be placed, with plenty more nearby. If you haven't got your name down yet, or haven't got plans for next Saturday then get yourself to Edinburgh, has it been mentioned yet that there will be a quiz and raffle as well?

+Big Wolf Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Only a few days to go and it looks like there will be about 60 of us at the event. Name badges have now been printed to drop me a line if you have not already done so. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The caches for the day have been published, they are - Ancient Almond Moorings The Lions Den Way Up High The Muttonhole None of these caches will be placed until 09:30 on Saturday 28th January, so don't go searching for them before then, as you will not find them.

+Big Wolf Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Weather forecast for Saturday: dry, coldish, clouds. Not bad for the 60 or so that we expect to attend. Also there are now 40 TB's in the swap pot. Quote Link to comment

+Firth of Forth Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The assault on the central belt has already begun. Billy Twigger and Wildlifewriter cut a swathe through Fife today. All others are packed and ready to set out in the morning. 64 cachers looking for 4 new caches. Could be interesting! Quote Link to comment

+bassqee Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Wish i could of made it but too busy to get through. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Colin Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This was a great day, and £80 collected through the raffle for cancer research is bloody good, well done everyone. Can everyone who took pictures during the whole of the SGDO today, send them onto me, I will compile them all together and send them to Bill and Angela, as he had asked me to do this. With BT's news about the hospice it would be good to get them sent sooner rather than later. Thank you in advance HH Quote Link to comment
