Another in mole's Series of Series
I have put together a series of caches and the theme of these are ‘Series’ – each cache is, in their own right, part of a group of caches around the country following a theme linked to a landmark or object, such as churches, ponds and in this case Scout Huts.
Each ‘series’ was devised by an individual cacher who either retained the series and developed it on their own such as the ponds, dewponds and lakes series by martletsman or encouraged other cachers to add to the series with the request to advise the originator of a new addition in order to keep tabs of the increasing number and save duplication – such as the church micro series, which is managed by sadexploration. There are some series of caches which do not get referred to by a rolling number allocated by the originator (like church micro #176), instead these others are referred to by their location – such as the motorway mayhem series where the motorway and the junction distinguish it from any other. My little series will draw on many of these – each being part of the series referred to but part of this series – Mole’s SOS (Series Of Series)
The idea behind this one was formed by Burtsbodgers who did a series in celebration of Scout huts in Chichester. So following on from that theme I have placed a cache near the scout hut for 14th Tonbridge Sea Scouts.
Their website explains that they are a Royal Navy Recognised Sea Scout Group meeting in Tonbridge, Kent. The Group has one Beaver, one Cub and two Scout sections, plus a linked specialist Explorer Unit.
Direct descendents of the original Group members remain actively involved within the leadership team.
They specialise in providing water activities including canoeing, kayaking, pulling, powerboating, dinghy sailing and yachting using sites on the River Medway at Tonbridge and Chatham, and at Bough Beech Reservoir.
As an RYA Training Centre, they are able to offer courses and training to our members leading to qualifications in the RYA Young Sailor Scheme, National Dinghy Sailor Scheme and National Powerboating Scheme as well as a variety of Scouting achievements in all sections.
Onto the cache – the co-ordinates takes you near the hut itself, and the cache is not too far away from there - however in order to get the co-ordinates you will have to go to the 14th Tonbridge Sea Scouts website and answer a few questions
1) What is the Royal Navy recognised unit number for this sea scout group ? = AB
2) When was the group founded ? = CDEF
3) The Beaver colony is open to boys and girls of what age ? = G - H
The cache can be found at
N51 B C.G (B-C) (H-G) E000 C G.(A-C) (D-E) (H-F)
This has been placed with the kind permission of the District Commissioner
*** This is a high muggle area so please retrieve and replace with caution, this has gone a couple of times so ensure cache is replaced as found. Thanks ***
