icon_smile.gif - I will put this one in my diary. I want to hit some caches in this area so I will make a day of it. I'll pop in for an hour or two and then hit the road to do some more caches.

 

Thanks

 

Chris

I'd been hoping to organise a round-britain TB race, but just haven't had the time to do it, so I'm VERY glad you're doing this.

 

My original idea was to let anyone set off a TB from ANYWHERE in UK, making it travel around the UK and back to it's "home cache".... maybe you could incorporate that idea into your race, so others from further away (and who can't make the meet) can also join in?

 

We have a TB (with a proper TB tag too) ready to race: Silvester the Cat... it could be fun if someone else could find a "Tweety Pie"!!!

 

See you at the meet!!

 

Paul

 

Noone in their right mind would place a cache THERE....

Just to let you all know that we have managed to get sponsorship for the Travel Bug Race from Lynks Cables UK with a first prize of a £40 voucher with them :-)

 

(Thanx to Paul Blitz for the introduction)

 

We are also are negotiating a second prize with another company, so get your TBs in for the race.

 

A reminder of the race rules can be found here.

We would love to be there, but will be stuck in Weymouth at a 60th/retirement party for my mum and will hopefully be slightly worse for wear on the Sunday. Will definitly be at Winchester tho.

Just an update I will still be in the area but on the Saturday I will be with Dan & Pid videoing there particular type of geocaching for the video. I am sure it will involve a bit of night caching :-) So I may be a little tired by the time I arrive at the event.

If you are entering your TB in the race and bringing it to the meeting, please register it for the race now.

 

To do this, create a Note in the log and leave your TB here.

 

Please also send a picture of your Travel Bug to woodsmoke@jast.co.uk so that it can be added to the web site. If you can't, don't worry as we will be able to register TBs and take pictures at the meeting.

WoodSmoke and The Targett Family would like to remind people that everybody, and we mean EVERYBODY, is welcome to come and meet other geocachers at this get together.

 

We look forward to meeting you all and having a good old face to face chat.

 

We do hope that all those who originally planned to come do still make it :-)

Grow up

 

Hmmm...interesting.

Fiddo, have I in someway rattled your cage?

 

If your having a go at me for suspecting that Gunthers remarks are intended to promote yet more antagonism on here, this time aimed at G:UK (See the new poll)then please point out to me why my previous post was in error rather than just spout "grow up" - surely you can do better?

 

We take our children everywhere, but they always find their way back home...

Fiddo,

I'm confused now! icon_confused.gif

I wasn't having a go at G:UK ('cos basically i'm a big fan of the site)

I was merely asking Gunther why he was!

never mind.

 

Still as Woodsmoke points out it does keep his topic at the top of the list, & serves as a reminder that it's this weekend.

(I wish we could go as i'm dying to meet some other cachers, but I have a stag do on the Saturday night & don't expect to be in any fit state to do anything on Sunday icon_smile.gif)

Juat added another TB: Woodys World Jnr! Once he's been reunited with Dutch Courage, he'll be on his way again! icon_biggrin.gif

By the way, I'll be bringing a digital camera so Targett Family, if you'd care to accompany me to the tree by Towpath Tootle I'll let you take a snap to prove I hugged it!! icon_razz.gif

We were hoping to attend but it now looks unklikely icon_frown.gif . My Dad's PC has gone t**s up and I've arranged to go round Sunday to rebuild the software - thanks Mr. Gates icon_mad.gif. Hope you have a good day and hopefully we'll meet up with you either 'in the woods' or at the Winchester bash. Enjoy .....

Hey all thnx for turning, HI the all thanx for turning up and Thnx for all your words of encouragement about the Bash you emailed to me. WoodSmoke and myself really appreciate it.

 

The UK TB Race is on it’s way and we have had TB moved on a logged, take a look @ the leader board.

 

I am thinking of Dumping this thread now the bash is said and done, and starting a new one for the UK TB Race, what do you all think?

 

The Leader board has been updated now why not take a look !!!

 

Thnx again The Targett Family

A great big thanks to The Targett Family and Wood Smoke for organising the bash. It was nice to see so many people there.

Oh yeah - handy hint for finding caches:- If you have fiddled with the GPSr to see what else it can do before setting off on a days caching, make sure you set the datum back to WGS84 - otherwise you end up in someones garden! icon_rolleyes.gif
