Guernsey Gathering Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: Still hard to believe this was Guernsey's first event, over 10 years since the game started; oh well! Time to archive it anyway, but with a little extra sadness as this turned out to be my last event on the islands (I didn't make it All The Way To Alderney - but then nor did anyone else!) and another wonderful experience. Met lots of locals and visitors alike and generally chit-chatted in the sun. Then there was sea-kayaking - with a FTF and a certificate - and more laughs. Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made it a bit of random fun (as all my events seem to be) and especially to Spirit of Guernsey for bringing food and kayaks, as well as setting lots of new local caches to keep folks entertained. Swapped items (all accounted for I think) and genuinely had a blast. Thanks everyone! Just don't leave it til 2020 to have another event on the island, eh? [;)]

Geocache Description:


Guernsey view

Delightful Guernsey is the target for this cache event!


When: 2pm, Sunday June 27th 2010.
Where: On the beach at pretty Petit Bot Bay.
What: A picnic on the beach if the weather's ok, or at the cafe at the top of the beach if there's rain. There will be caching-talk and travel-item swapping.
Why: Because there are many caches on Guernesy, and where there are caches there are cachers... It would be nice to meet some locals (I know there are some) while I'm on the island/s so a summer Sunday meet makes perfect sense.
Who: Cachers from far and wide, I hope. Their kids and dogs are also welcome!
