Should we be doing anything about a trackable race for next year? And who decides/ announces the cachewalker prizes for this year? We are working tomorrow morning but can get to the shops in the afternoon if we need to.

I think we should have one but no one replied to the thread I posted about this a couple of weeks ago  :o If you'd like to launch a new one that'd be great, could be SuperBikes again or something new!

Prizes - for the CWFC I have medals and coins, but these are of course motorbike related as they were initially bought for future CWSBC's!

So, if you'd like it may be good to buy something for that, remember there are two winners (most milage and first to Brazil)

As it stands, it looks like several CacheWalker Award Winners won't be at the event tomorrow - but maybe buy four boxes of chocolate just in case  :)

Money left over from other events, and this one, should cover it all  :)

I have found some superbikes after much scouting about in  the post-Christmas shopping madness, happy to dish them out tomorrow but hopefully someone else can set the race up as I wouldn't know where to start! ???

@strongsRus - thanks - I can do that if you'd like  :)

How long do you think the walk will take? May have to miss the second half, or more, of the event in the hall depending on timings  :-\

@strongsRus - that's great, shall we maybe do CWFC/ award prizes and CWSBC handouts nearer the start to get it out of the way. If you don't want to that's fine but we'll probably miss it.

Also, Did you manage to get 4 Award prizes? If not we can stop off on the way  :)

Great photos! :) Wish I'd brought Roxy along, she would of loved meeting up with Maggie and sniffing out some of the caches  :D She's made it to CW Splashmobs before, must bring her on the next walk event.
