Visiting Cambridge And London

[+Team Tecmage]

Hi,

 

I'll be visiting Cambridge from May 21 - 30. The trip is part of a retreat for new university faculty members. It looks like I will have some blocks of time during the day to hang out, visit, and Geocache. In addition, we have a free day Saturday May 29, and I'm planning on making a day trip to London.

 

If anyone is interested in getting together for caching or maybe hitting a pub, please let me know. Unfortunately, Tracy and Solana are staying home.

Always up for meeting other cachers :-) Happy to meet in London or to make the journey up to Cambridge.

Sounds good Neil. I am going to be in London one day, and aside from picking up gifts for Tracy and Solana, I would like to do some caching in London.

 

BTW, if anyone has travel bugs they wuld like to travel to the US, let me know.

[NeilFord]

It actually looks like we're going to be in Cambridge on Saturday May 29, which is the day you're intending to be in London! :-(

 

So it looks like we may miss each other.

Hope you're not going for huge numbers around Cambridge, we don't have that many! If I'm not working that weekend I'll drop you a line on here & we'll tick some off I'm sure..

For us, Cambridge is a social visit. so not too much caching that day.

I am not looking for a large number of caches in Cambridge. I am attending a retreat for work (at Valparaiso University Study Center), so my time is limited everyday, but I will have 1-3 hour blocks of time. I am free May 23 all day, so I'm planning on trying to recruit one or two of my faculty fellows to learn the fine Art of Geocaching.

 

Some of my targets:

Baa-Baa Green Sheep

StAG Hunt

Cambridge cam on the Cam I can do this one with Tracy.

Cambridge Blues

The King Street Run I KNOW at least three or four co-workers that will enjoy this one!

My stretch goal: Row row row row... row your boat

 

And since we are planning on a day trip to London, I want to check out the Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James Park caches.

[+Team Tecmage]

I will be bringing 3-5 travel bugs with me. I will try to leave some in the Cambridge area, and the rest in London- probably at the Last Delivery Cache.

probably at the Last Delivery Cache.

Bear in mind that Last Delivery is a small container and usually pretty full.

[NeilFord]

I'm sure any let in the Cambridge area will get dispersed pretty quickly :-)

I was going to check the Hyde, Green and St James' Park caches soon - would be cool to make a day of it when you're down. I live in central London so would be easy to meet up......and the pub idea sounds good too!

Hi,

 

Is there a better option for dropping travel bugs in London?

 

Kilotwo, if we can work out a time and place, I'd love to Geocache with someone that knows the city (and the pubs).

Sherlock 7 is quite roomy and there may be room in Not Picadilly as well.

There are now three TBs in Cambridge caches, plus there is another that's a few kms away.

[+KiloTwo]

Cara's College Cache has plenty of room for TB's!

It may be worth noting here that the UK record for most in a day was apparently set in the cambridge area, (35 by Starticus)
