Bouncers Belated Birthday Bash GC4090K
« on: November 02, 2012, 07:01:02 pm »
Post Christmas get together in a pub where I used to work. Read clue for hint at the name.

The event will start at 11am and will continue till the evening so pop along any time for a chat and a drink or bite to eat as this pub has both and has a carvery for those who need something more substantial.

This is my first anniversary as a geo-cacher and hope to see friends old and new to help me celebrate.

Bouncer will be around for most of the day and has agreed to offer help to anyone having problems with his Birthday Bash series.

I will also try to make myself available to anyone who is struggling with any of the caches that I have set.

There will be a log book and a geocoin/trackables swop box

It is hoped that a number of new caches will be available on the day for those who have missed their fix over the festive season.

There is a lovely old railway line that I am setting over 30 new caches on for this event and a number of short but pleasant countryside cache walks in the area.

Yes I know Norfolk is right out of the way but some of us do live here and welcome you all to our neck of the woods.

So far 57 caches have been successfully reviewed along Marriot's Way stretching from Hellesdon to Attlebridge. A couple more need tweaking and I shall round it up to 60. I have found sites for a number of caches in and around Drayton, mainly traditional but will try to work in a multi or two. Work on the extreme multi is progressing well and I have a new idea for a multi that will involve a little research after completing the first six stages that have to be done during the day and then a small night cache to get to the final.

I have collected some swag items for the raffle along with the Travel bugs and there will also be a couple of puzzle caches that I have made.

There are now 59 caches  along Marriots way from near Marl pit to the Scrapyard cache. All reviewed that will be published on the day at 11am. THE PATH IS VERY MUDDY so wellies recommended. They are in a line and it is about 7 miles from one end to the other. I have been out checking them and all the ones I have checked are in place but as some have been out for 3 months leaf cover will make FTFs a real challenge HEHE. There are currently 10 caches in Drayton going live early in the morning and reviewer permitting there will be a few more.

Dogs are allowed in the pub beer garden if on leads. The garden shuts at dusk.

I have a number of commemorative wooden discs that will be on sale and there will be a raffle which will be drawn at about 9pm. All money raised is going to the rescue home that Bouncer came from.

I hope you will all find time to pop in at some stage during the day or evening. I will be there all day except when I take the boys home at dusk but Fussy Bears will be on hand helping with all the tech-bits and generally sorting out all the things that go wrong.

PLEASE NOT

IS ONLY TO BE ATTEMPTED IF THE RIVER IS SAFE AND AT THE MOMENT WADERS ARE REQUIRED.

This was a very successful event with nearly 40 attendees. The pub did a roaring trade in food and drinks. The raffle raised £43 for a local dog rescue centre and most of the 73 new caches were found by a good number of you. When I got home I had over 500 new emails and by the time I had read them all (about 2 1/2 hours) later I knew folks had had a good day caching. Some of the groups I met as I biked down the trail had grown. One had about 3 families (about 20 cachers of all ages) looking for a bear in a tree.

I am going to rest for a while and carry out some maintenance on my other caches but be warned I already have the stirrings of the next event in my head and thinking of a camping event in the future so some of you from accross the border may be tempted to come and see what is normal for Norfolk.
