Oh, walk tall, you should know your CacheWalker Trivia by now  :o ;D ;)

30th September, exactly 5 years since the first group walk, and it will be a picnic @ Cotswold Farm park.

Thanks walk tall - let's get some discussion going over here  :D

Yes  ;D

For sure, perhaps we should all do something - like someone hide the caches, some one arrange the location for the picnic, someone arrange the raffle, have someone looking over it and doing things themselves ect.

Like this idea of a "al fresco" raffle  :)

It's going to be  Great

Get the rope out  :o

I am holding myself back from doing something very naughty... my mouse is hovering over the "report new listing" button to write up the listing for this event  ::)

Someone stop me  :-[

My dad knows Adam well enough, so might get him to talk to him in a month or so about it  ???

Anyway, all in good time....

Caches? "CacheWalker takes a break from the norm?"  ::)  ;D

I'd be able to sort most of the "arrangements" out (with my dad knowing Adam, and working with his sister) , but it was just caches that I had on my mind, don't know If I'd have time  ???

Unless anyone else wants to sort the main part out?  ::)

Griff - I think with your contacts, it may help if you sort the Event and ask the question about caches, as I presume they own/manage land round there and so, if there is anywhere they must not be put.

Then, cachers with transport, can sort out some caches and where to put them, taking into account what you have found out ;D

If several cachers are interested in placing caches, we could make it a team effort and those interested could place a few caches each ;D

Ok, that sorts it, I'm on it  ;D

I will get the main stuff sorted out as soon as my dad comes back, and sure he will escort us to several locations, one of which I'll choose - I think it should be not far from the farm park itself (so geo-kiddies and stuff can go there during/before/after) but yet somewhere which is a good spot.

Would you like me also to negotiate placing caches, or shall I leave whoever is planning the group walk to do that? Do we even bother with permission?

Yes, the transport issue, another reason why I thought it wouldn't be best for me to organise the walk  ;) I could place a few caches around not to be part of the walk, for people to find during the picnic for FTF ect....

I think that the event should be family friendly, and appealing to everyone  :) Let's hope for good weather, it is a picnic  ::) Remember, it is very windy up there!

Been looking at the map for those interested  ;D

Pin pointed what I know is an amazing route, having walked all the paths (but not in that order)

Problem? Would reckon it is 10 miles min  ::) We really would need something shorter  ;)

Could be shortened to about 6-7 if we take some minor roads....

I thought when we first mentioned the idea of this event it was just going to be a picnic in a superb location with maybe a few new caches or one multi on a short walk for people to do during the day whenever they wanted.No mention of a group walk with lots of caches.

Thinking about it more lately and wonder if the date is a bit late in the year for a picnic event.Maybe it might be a better idea for a summer month and think of something else/different for the anniversary event.

Lets have your thoughts.
