Britain's Shortest River Beach Party! Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Simply Paul: Since everyone who attended this meet has logged it, and all travel-items have been booked out, it's time to archive it.
My thanks again to all who came along and gave me a memorable event at this charming, bug-infested location. I hope you all had as much fun as me, if not more. Until next time...

Geocache Description:

I've held events in a cave, up mountains, in a pizza restaurant, at the tops of London skyscrapers, in my lounge, on top of a multistory car park, in actual parks & many pubs (inc. Britain's most remote, at Inverie), on the meridian & tidal islands, on other islands, hilltops & clifftops, at landmarks & viewpoints, in a stone circle, bothies, The Vatican, a volcanic crater & many others, but never on a beach. Until today!


Where: Sandy beach south of the River Morar 'estuary'.

When: 6pm-9pm on Tuesday June 13th. An evening meet for a school/working day.

What: A casual gathering of cachers - under a low June sun, I hope - to play frisbee, picnic, splash about, chit caching chat, swap travel items, and generally enjoy this very pretty area. Responsible BBQing is an option and I hope to camp on the beach after the event too.

How: It's an easy spot to reach by car (note parking location, where there are toilets) or by train - there's a stop at Morar.

Who: Cachers! New to the game or cache meets? You'll be made especially welcome.

Why: It's a long story. In part I want to come here to attempt to locate a cache which escaped detection in 2015, but this will happen before or after the meet - I hope! I also thought it was a lovely spot for a meet, with room for frisbee and a BBQ (if you'd like to bring one), lots of warm golden sand and a pretty outlook. Then there's that short river claim to fame (it's under 1Km long) and the fact I thought it looked a great spot for a wild camp when I was here in 2015.
