Nuisance of Cats and a Murder of Crows
Breakfast Meet
Mr Crow and Kitty!! are pleased to invite you to our 2013 Breakfast Meet and Cache Trail Launch. The meet will take place at South Hanningfield Village Hall from 8am to 10am. The main purpose is to chat with fellow cachers and exchange tales and travel bugs whilst enjoying breakfast together. There will be tea, coffee, soft drinks and hot butties available to purchase. Catering this year, is however, down to friends of Kitty (as we were unable to persuade the local pub to open up for us) so please bear with us regarding levels of service!
After the meet you are welcome to visit the optional cache trails that will be published on the day.
Optional Cache Trails
We will be launching new cache family-friendly trails at the event. The main trail is a long loop (~15 miles and ~60 caches) around the Hanningfield Reservoir and surrounding area, though shorter sections from 3 miles can be selected. A few simple cat and murderous crow puzzles will also be thrown in! There should be something suitable for everyone. Maps, puzzles and a GPX file will be released to registered attendees in advance so that you can plan your route.
Finish your morning, afternoon or evening hike back in South Hanningfield at The Old Windmill pub for refreshments and tale-swapping.
More information on the trail can be download here >> NoCMoC. This will be regularly updated with information on parking, access times, routes and distances and other issues you will need to consider if planning to do the long walk.
Parking
The Village Hall has its own, small, car park. However, you will need to move your car by no later than 10.30 am. Where you move your car to will depend upon the section of the trail you wish to undertake. Please note, however, that if you park at Hanningfield Reservoir Visitor Centre or Fishing Lodge the gates are locked at 5pm.
Kitty/Crow Rescue
Kitty and Crow will attend all day. We will give cachers undertaking the cache trails our mobile telephone numbers to call in case you need rescuing (non-medical emergencies!) or find you have set out on a trail that has become too much we will come and collect you, provided you are roadside. The phone lines/rescue/reception committee closes at 6.00 pm! We will end the day in the Old Windmill.
Competition!
In 2012 we had the Silly Hat competition and some very innovative creations there were too! This year we have the "best" T-shirt competition. The judges decision will be final! As always, a wondrous prize for the winner!
