+Lorri-Ann & Kev Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 YAY can't wait we enjoyed this years event loads. P.S - A Sunday would be much better as I work every Saturday and any holidays are banned through August Quote Link to comment
+SidAndBob Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 regarding the weather you might want to speak to Wrighty. Based around the Cotswolds it never rains when he is out and about I'll send Wrighty an invite to the Wye Valley & FoD event then ASAP. For the ME how about chartering a trip to Steep Holm and Flat Holm? I'm sure there would be plenty of takers for that trip. Quote Link to comment
+LinseyG Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Havn't got a diary for next year yet and seeing as we live in Bristol seems rude not to turn up ! Will a post it on my Monitor do ? Linsey & Lorraine Quote Link to comment
+Matrix Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I get first choice of hoilday dates for next year so I guess its first 2 weeks in August for me then Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just so that you are aware, that is the start of the last week of the Scottish school term dates. It's only a problem as far as people are at the end of their summer holidays here, and just so that if you need to change the dates, that to accommodate anyone hoping to come from Scotland, that you may have to go for the weekend before rather than after. If my finances and holidays are good for next year I will try my damned best to be there. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I was indeed aware and had consulted with my friendly helpful "Scottish MegaEvent Consultant" before publishing these dates, rather than the weekend before. Steve Quote Link to comment
+The Flying Boots Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 A long while ago before the Harrogate Mega I put a link to a banner advertising this event on all my cache pages. This is now of course out of date. Has anyone thought of contacting the person(I can't remember who) who wrote the script for this to now replace it with the advert for the Bristol Mega 2009?

+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've just updated it - still the same tint of Dark Mandarin with a hint of tangerine, but I've sorted out the size attributes, so the larger banned is no longer squisshedulated. www.mega2.org.uk/promote.html Quote Link to comment

+Maple Leaf Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Is the event posted on GC as a cache yet? If it is can you direct me to it please? Sue It hasn't been published on GC yet .... but shouldn't be long now. There will also be an accompanying website which will give you more detailed information and will be constantly updated. But for your information .... The Mega event itself is Sunday 9th August at Weston-super-Mare ... with an associated camping event over that weekend (and other planned events) Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 with an associated camping event over that weekend (and other planned events) Camping only for the weekend? It's a long way to go for just a weekend, is there any way that the camping can be extended for say a week, like at Harrogate this year? Quote Link to comment

It's a long way to go for just a weekend, is there any way that the camping can be extended for say a week, like at Harrogate this year? You can arrive as early as you like and stay as long as you like . The Harrogate one wasn't a week... a lot of people stayed that long, but an event is 'technically' only one day anyway. Don't miss the bit that Jen mentioned "and other planned events". These will be announced well in advance so people will know what is happening on which days. There will definitely be a good four or five days worth of events and lots of caching to do in the area. I'm sure people will stay anything from a week before to a week after, and any number of days in between. Quote Link to comment
+Madyokel Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Maybe Piratemania Cotswolds or Stonehenge the weekend before. Nudge nudge.. Well a camping event the previous weekend obviously helps the cachers from further reaches of the UK.. Are there any other West country camping events that normally run around that time?

We've moved the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean Event back a week as the Mega event would have clashed. It's about 35 miles north of Weston. Should be 15th August 2009 if all goes as planned. Camping all weekend. Quote Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Now, if the Picnic in the Park event (Bradford-on-Avon) could just be nudge a couple of weeks later to the first weekend in August you could create a full 2 weeks/3 weekends of eventing. Or maybe that would be too much of a good thing? MrsB Quote Link to comment
