Clyne
Farm Centre and Clyne Estate are situated on the gateway to The
Gower Peninsula. Once the Home Farm for the Clyne Castle Estate,
the centre offers self catering accommodation in converted cottages
and barns (2- 51 persons). On the main site there are seven
cottages sleeping from 2 up to 14 persons in each. There are
also three camping fields accommodating 30-40 pitches. Camping
prices are:- ages 6 to adult £5.00 per person per night, under 5s
free. Now fully booked! .
Dogs
are allowed but due to the resident animals must be kept on a lead
at all times.
The event centre will be situated in
the Dining Hall and will be open from 10:00am on Saturday 1st
May.
During the day Geocachers will be able
to sign the event log, drop off and pick up Travel Bugs and
Geocoins, purchase raffle tickets and have a go at the tombola to
help raise funds for geocaching events in South Wales and pick up
information on any new local caches (thanks guys for your
help!).
The event will be an opportunity to
help Travel Bugs on their way, especially if anyone will be off to
an exotic destination soon after. If you intend to bring any TBs,
“drop” them into the cache online a few days before the
event, with a note of their objectives. If you can help a bug on
the way to its objective, note this also. If you do place/retrieve
a TB at the event, make sure that you log it promptly, keeping a
note of its tracking number, etc.
There will also be
a selection of refreshments available throughout the
day.
At 4PM we will get together in the
dining hall for;
The raffle prize
draw
An auction of highly desirable and
much sought after items
The official Announcment of the date
and venue of the 2011 Mega Event (hint - it's somewhere in Wales!)
followed by a question and answer session with the Mega Event
committee members.
The First chance to purchase the new
Miners' Lamp geocoin!.
We will finish the day with the
traditional bring yer own BBQ

There are many fantastic caches
in the immediate area (and hopefully a few more will be published
in the day) with many more on the Gower and the nearby
hills.
This year's sunday excursion,
10 Years! Rhossili, Gower, will be at, err, Rhossili and will
involve descending to the beach and crossing the causeway to the
Wyrms's Head. If you're not up to it, please feel free come along
and stand atop the cliffs and offer 'help' and 'encouragement' to
those racing the tide...
Anyone still not sated is invited
to join us on the Blorenge for lunch on the Monday to crack open a
cheap bottle of bubbly at Wales' oldest cache to
celebrate the 10th anniversay of the placing of the world's
first ever geocache in Oregon, USA.
Some of the text and Images used in this listing have been
shamlessly stolen from the listing for the 2008 event and I would
like to Thank Jonathon ( Zetetic ) for this. |
