Urban Treasure Ramble 5001
When:
Sunday 15th January 2012
Start & Finish location:
Listed co-ords
Assembly time:
1pm (UTR will start at 1:30pm)
There are approximately 242 traditional
caches currently enabled within a 6km radius of the Adelaide
GPO.
This event is a scavenger hunt with a difference. 40 caches will be
selected based on predetermined criteria and loaded with
“something” - you want this
“something”!
I have attended a few events now, and thought I could give
something back… well here goes nothing…
The
idea:
At start of the event you will be
told:
a) What you are looking for in the cache (i.e. what the
“something” is), and
b) The criteria used to select caches (but not the names of the
caches themselves) ... ie you will get a "hint sheet"
Armed with your GPS (hopefully
loaded with traditional caches in a 6km radius of the GPO), the
criteria, and your mode of transportation you and your team will
have 1.5 hours to locate and collect as many
“somethings” as possible. At the end of the 1.5 hours,
your team returns to the start location for the
“somethings” to be counted. The team with the most
wins! Points will be deducted for arriving back late (ie taking
longer than the 1.5 hours duration).
Although time is of the essence, we
will all:
• Respect the caches we search and replace them with
care
• We are not actually grabbing the cache - just removing the
“something” from them
• Respect road rules etc etc
The social bit
At start/finish location has picnic facilities - I will provide a
healthy supply of chilli-dogs from 3:00pm onwards!! Please bring your own chairs,
picnic blankets, tables, drinks, food, snacks etc
Happy hunting!!
