+Haggis Hunter Posted January 9, 2006 Author Posted January 9, 2006 Logged that I will attend. Trying to make a weekend of it with the wife for her birthday. Nice birthday present, Come on luv, let's go up to Edinburgh for a dirty weekend! Oooh, what a great idea. Yep, make sure the wellies are in the suitcase, don't want your feet gettin wet in the water do we? I'm not wearing wellies in the bath, what sort of fantasy is this? No no luv, we're gonna get dirty cleanin up The Water of Leith!! Quote
alistair_uk Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I would love to come, but two full on trips to Edinbrough within three months might be a bit much. I will see if I can get a cheapo train ticket when they are available and come up for the day. We must go to the pub afterwards though, that is a given . Quote
+bassqee Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I might try and make it. Meeting point is too close to my workplace though Oh and hi all - new to geocaching!! Not gotten out yet but hopefully this weekend. Colin Quote

Colin Welcome to the addiction Colin, look forward to seeing you if you can make it, why not try and come along to the SGDO - Lauriston Farm on the 28th January? Quote
+G Force Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Another reason for the icon collectors to attend. CITO Coin More to follow but looks like they will be available from Groundspeak. Edited January 12, 2006 by G Force Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 For insurance reasons, I have to register the event under a name, last year the Forester registered under 'The Geocache Group', I particularly don't think this is very interesting, as we will also get a mention on the Conservation Trusts webpage. Link here, we are third from the end on the list. So what is required is a simple name that I can register under, but gives us an identity that will be recognisable when mentioned on their website. Suggestions please everyone! Don't worry about the insurance part, it's all covered within the arrangements. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted January 22, 2006 Author Posted January 22, 2006 Everyone else is bumping up their CITO pages so I'm joining the club. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 Bringing back up to the front as a reminder of this event, last person to sign up was a fortnight ago? Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Still plenty of time HH. Dinnae panic Seem to remember you gave similar advice last year. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) Still plenty of time HH. Dinnae panic Seem to remember you gave similar advice last year. Am no panicing, ah just wanted an excuse to bump the thread Edit: I would actually be pleased with the numbers I have got, but the more the merrier, I know they will come out of the woodwork in due course. Edited February 2, 2006 by Haggis Hunter Quote
+G Force Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Depending on the demand from the Durham CITO will bring spare gloves for those that need them. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 That will be good Greg, but I am hoping that enough will be supplied, but having spares won't do any harm. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 19, 2006 Author Posted February 19, 2006 I think the UK has came up trumps for the CITO this year? As we have now got 4 CITO events organised throughout the UK for April, 3 of which are being held on the 22nd April, which is the International CITO Day. A big pat on the back for the UK cachers I think? Quote

+Haggis Hunter Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Trotters Independent ‘Auto’ Traders will open a few days before the event. Hopefully FoF will be able to sort something out as well? Quote

Eh?? What does that mean? Think of our last conversation in the pub, if the penny hasn't dropped then you will just have to wait until the showroom opens!! Only thing I can think of is that GForce and Longfram Kev are going to progress from removing supermarket trolleys out of the water, to removing old cars?! Wait a minute... something is beginning to come back to me... ah yes......! Think I know what you are talking about now! Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 13, 2006 Author Posted March 13, 2006 GForce is looking at buying some CITO Geocoins in bulk, and will hopefully be selling them at cost price at the event. Once I have more details I will update the event page, and be asking for numbers of people who may want one. Quote
+The Mars Bars Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 We'll be there. Just booked the hotel, Holiday Inn £60 per room Friday, £75 for Saturday. Not bad for 2 adults and 2 children. I would like 2 coins when your counting if thats OK? Looking forward to it. Cheers Dave Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 The event page has been updated to include details about purchasing the CITO Geocoins. A big thanks to GForce for arranging this, not only for my event but for all the CITO events being held in the UK during April. Quote

+Haggis Hunter Posted March 20, 2006 Author Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Dave, 31 people is a good number, as the conservation trust said that 10 people is worth arranging a clean up with. I think they will be extremely pleased with such a large turn out? Quote

Cheers Dave Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Better bring some more rubber gloves... I think GForce had offered to bring some more along, although I think the trust do supply plenty? Quote

+Haggis Hunter Posted March 30, 2006 Author Posted March 30, 2006 There is now a temporary bookmark list for the caches that are within walking distance of the event. Quote
+The Mars Bars Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 There is now a temporary bookmark list for the caches that are within walking distance of the event. Bump.. Thanks for that HH, it will be really useful. Whats the cache like on the wee Island out in the Forth? I'd earmarked that as one to do whilst up there. Cheers Dave Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 Whats the cache like on the wee Island out in the Forth? I'd earmarked that as one to do whilst up there. Cheers Dave I've adopted that cache, so I am a bit biased. Make sure you have got the tide times right and you'll have an enjoyable walk along the causeway. I like it, even before I adopted it. There are also several caches nearby that can all be done from the same parking location. Remember to look at my bookmark list Edinburgh Caches by Car, every single Edinburgh cache with free parking is on that list. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 4, 2006 Author Posted April 4, 2006 As from today, orders for the CITO Geocoins have stopped, GForce may have a couple spare on the day, so if you still want one, ask him when you see him. The count for the day so far is - Haggis Hunter 2 people 1 coin G Force 2 people Jack Aubrey 2 people 1 coin Firth of Forth 1 person 1 coin Big Wolf 1 person 2 coins Team Incredible 4 people Longfram Kev 1 person Team Bostik 2 people bassquee 1 person Marmal 1 person The Tupperware Party 2 people Charlotte Aubrey 1 person Marmuk 1 person Morton 1 person Allieballie 2 people Moonshiner Extraordinaire 1 person The Mars Bars 4 people 2 coins Edinburgh Walker 2 people 1 coin Hydraulic 1 person 1 coin Crazydruid 1 person 2 coins Clyde valley 2 people 1 coin Total 35 people including children and 12 coins required. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 6, 2006 Author Posted April 6, 2006 Firth of Forth has three new caches which will be placed in time for the event, all in Colinton Dell. They will be published on Thursday April 20th: Dell View Rooted to the Spot and Dryad Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 12, 2006 Author Posted April 12, 2006 A Health & Safety Risk Assessment has been carried out by myself and the Conservation Trust, It has been added to the event page. Although most things are fairly common sense and shouldn't cause any problems, can I ask people to read it before arriving on the day. Many thanks HH Quote

Less than a week to go, can't wait! Hope it's dry at least. Cheers Dave Quote
+Longfram Kev Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Read and understood. less than a week to go. All I need to do is work out a route to get to the car park. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 16, 2006 Author Posted April 16, 2006 All I need to do is work out a route to get to the car park. The meeting and parking location is going to be at N55° 56.023 W003° 15.116 the ONLY vehicle access to this car park is by Stenhouse Crescent/Ford’s Road at N55° 55.878 W003° 15.389. There is another route in, but I thought I would simplify it by just giving the one set of directions. This is also the way out for getting to the pub afterwards, most important to know that. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 16, 2006 Author Posted April 16, 2006 I've put together a bookmark list for the caches that are within walking distance of the event. Keep your eye on it as it will be getting a further 4 caches added to it on Thursday. Quote
+Longfram Kev Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 This had slipped to page 2 so I've bumped it. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 Including the kids, there are now 49 people going to attend the event, and I know of 1 or 2 that may still turn up. Looks like it's going to be a good turn out. Quote
