Would love to but after being out all day on the 22nd and with the Mega in the Lake District, I might be pushing my luck  ??? :o

I've already done that one "GoogleCache Cross" but it's about a 4 mile drive from the co-ordinates to the final cache location  :o

If you want to solve it, check out a picture I uploaded of the old information board that use to be there.

There's one above Thame Midsomer Murder Meander, I might end up doing.

Is the 11 cache types in 11 hours just another of those Geocaching challenges or is it an event icon actual cache smiley?

Neither, they are some of the challenges (but not Geocaching challenges) taking place around the Geolympix - it is not a Geocaching Challenge , nor do you get a smiley. It's just as simple as it sounds - finding 11 icons in a day.

Take a look at this page for more info and all the other Geolympix challenges (http://www.geolympix.com/challenges/)

And then there were 109  :o The marathon series has been published, looks like a good one too  ;D All in the countryside, no roads, hilly terrain - is doesn't cross the M40 as it seems in that shot, don't worry  :D

The BBQ at the end will make it all worth it!  ;D ;D

Less than one day to go!!!

It feels like yesterday I heard the proposal at the  " :-X " event (not saying the answer to the quiz thread  ;)  :D) and seeing the stand at Mega Wales, and now it's tomorrow - I know I say this every week on the weekly poll thread, but how time passes  :D

Where do we park for Banbury?  ??? And also what about for the CITO? (see that TJ has posted this on the listing too)

Then the fun isn't over for me, the day after I'll be hiking (trying to hike) 26 miles  :o 

When that's over I guess it's the waiting game for North West Mega the next week  ;D

Banbury.
Plenty of parking uphill and downhill of the Banbury Cross and 'Fine Lady' statue.
Not sure of times for parking (Parking meters) for any 'free' parking. eg free after 6.00pm
