Who's taking part in the summer souvenir challenge? How's everyone getting on?

The forum has been very quiet recently. I guess everyone is busy (including me) with other things right now!

How are you all?

As some of you heard yesterday, having looked in various shops, I was unable to find SuperBikes. I think I've found them quite cheaply on eBay. Is this where you got them from, Wrighty?

So we could make an announcement on the event page and one here asking anyone who wants to take part to contact us and we'll mail them out. We have quite a bit of money left over from the raffle so we can easily be reimbursed for postage costs.

OR we could make things easier and ask people to attach their own birthday/celebration items to a TB (to honour our 10th birthday).

But with the SuperBike trophy having been handed back to us by Dobunnies it'd be nice to opt for the CWSBC. It's also the trademark CacheWalker travel bug race, having been the first and run a total of four times - so it makes sense for our 10th year.

Let's decide what's happening on this thread 

Country Walking Magazine has a walk 1000 miles challenge for next year.

Anyone thinking of doing it? Have any of you attempted a similar challenge before?

I remember when they first announced souvenirs several of us (including me) have since said that they were silly and pointless.

However, everyone now seems to be obsessed with collecting souvenirs and the attitude towards them seems to have changed. 

So, six years on, what does everyone think about souvenirs now? Do you have a favourite souvenir that you have collected?

I now feel they have a place in the game and I really enjoyed the road trip last summer, so all of those are my favourites. It's good how they encourage people to go geocaching too. Wasn't a big fan of the Mission GC challenge this year though - wonder what the souvenir task will be next summer?

As we begin autumn, time for some reminiscence.

Most of us found plenty of caches, attended plenty of events etc this summer.

What was your highlight? Or, if you didn't do much caching, do you have another highlight to share? Just take a quick moment to let us know!

I have a few and will share one just for now. I had a really nice day in North Wales in early August, attending the maze which had some good interactive elements (it was my first maze, so all original for me) and Lab caches. We also found 5 fantastic Earthcaches that day, including one in a quarry where we literally spent an hour looking for fossils. The views from there were fantastic. We also completed a four mile circular walk that we plotted ourselves, taking in 11 caches. A long but very enjoyable day out 

Close to the Geolympix and would fill a D/T square. Not sure what it's getting at though. I understand some of the information is provided there, but how on earth do you get numbers from it all?

Any help/pointers/tips appreciated
