+Simply Paul Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 It's not far from Barcelona (a cheap EJ flight away from Luton, etc) and I'm thinking of going to do some more research ahead of the 2012 Geolympix Mega Event in the UK, as well as some caching in the sun [] GC20HXJ Mega Event Catalunya 2010 - Saturday October 9th 2010 - As you'll see it's yet to get its Mega status but there seems to be a lot of interest. 198 Will Attends so far (so 350 cachers, at a guess?) and two months to go.

+Babsbaby Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I'm looking at cheap package holidays to Lloret de Mar - there's a good week's caching available and holidays seem to start at around £150 per person, including flights, accommodation, transfers and in some cases, breakfast! I haven't logged a "will attend" yet, but I will when I've booked my holiday. As for us, my "will attend" will cover two people so 198 logs may well deliver considerably more warm bodies! Quote
+team postie grum Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 We are going, it will be nice to see some sunshine this year Quote
+La Fifi Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 We got an invite a while ago, as most of our (limited) caching happens in Catalunya. However, sadly, our alloted time in our most favourite place in the world is 3 weeks earlier, so we won't be there for the MEGA, but count this as a big BUMP anyway. Cheers. La Fifi & WVM Quote
+Original A1 Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Don't think I can go, but it reminds me of a thought I had the other day and I'm not sure whether I vocalised to another cacher, or posted here, or just left whirring around my heid, but what happens of you set up a Mega and you don't get the numbers to verify its Mega status? Does it convert into a mere event or doesn't it count as a cache? Hopefully this never occurs of course, but as it's a Mega requirement, I suppose they have to follow it through if the numbers aren't good enough...? Quote
+Original A1 Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Note to self above: don't forget to recharge the batteries - I DID post the question on the Irish Mega thread, and thanks to the ever-vigilant Mrs B (at least one of us is!), I have an answer now - thanks! Quote
+Babsbaby Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Very cheap holiday booked and we're going! Woo hoo! Quote
+currykev Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks for the tip. I've now booked plane and hotel for 3 nights. £80.00 the lot. Hopefully the disable caches will be up and running by the time I get there. But I'm arriving on the 15th to avoid the crowds. Quote
