+Alice Band Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I'll be there if I can bag a lift as it will cost me nearly £100 by train otherwise from the East Midlands. Will share fuel costs. Taking camping equipment and overnight stuff is a swine on the bus too. Last year was superb I'll bring the Mead (want to try some Stuey?) if someone brings the giant Jenga again Edited February 22, 2007 by Alice Band Quote Link to comment

+Alice Band Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 you might be able to 'bag a Jag' ooooh I say! I can get to Walthamstow. My sister lives in tornado alley there - her spare room is still a bit draughty atm Quote Link to comment
The Red Kite Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone got one of these they are planning on showing off at a camping event this year? I know of one geocaching team that are planning to purchase one. ooooooooooohhhh get you liane!! we'll have to pay to camp next to you soon! Any news on a camp site yet? I will have to start walking soon laughing: Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll bring the Mead (want to try some Stuey?) I'll try (almost) anything once Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The main reason for this <snip> is that we intend to take on the "Underworld" series The Underworld 8 Bonus cache hasn't been found for over 12 months. If anyone is over 15 stone and is thinking of attempting it, I'd suggest a diet between now and June, hehe Underworld 8, the bonus is STILL unfound since 2005. How many dust off points will it be worth? Quote Link to comment

How many dust off points will it be worth? Will be doing this one with a couple of others soon eg 1 part of the Cantor clan as the other one cannot get in and the diet is not going well!!!!!!! I also think Skate wants to do it,lovely and muddy and wet this time of year,hehe Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've booked a few days off work for it now.....YAY!! LONG time since I've been to Devon, and it was certainly pre caching!! Can't wait! Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Underworld series? Hmm, I will rub myself down with a bar of lard and squeeze in somehow!! Quote Link to comment

Vanya1 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 We are seriously thinking about doing this event. Dan is really up (or is it down) for the Underworld series and is hoping that there will be a caching group that he can tag along with. Somehow I will not fit down those holes even if I was covered in lard Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Lemme see, three days in Devon, no work, no cleaning, no ironing - yep Mrs HOKES deserves a break - count us in! P.S. I'll do the cooking as usual Quote Link to comment

+keehotee Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Just thought I'd add - if anybody is getting the train down, and wants a lift to Princetown from Exeter, I've got a BIG car, and so far I'm the only one in it.... email me if you want a lift - first (4) come first served.

+House Of Boo Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Afternoon Geocampers / landlumbers Really cheeky question for you all - does anyone have a BBQ they can bring with them for the Saturday night?? The pub do have a BBQ - but they have warned me it is rusty and other people are likely to be using it! House of Boo Quote Link to comment

+KathyXB Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I hope you all had an excellent time, really sorry I couldn't make it in the end but had about 2.5 hrs sleep preceeding 3 days (night shifts, bleugh) and driving down would have just been silly... Looking forward to seeing photos of your capers and hearing salty sea-tales of pirate caching adventures Quote Link to comment
