Meet You There #7, the one with a different icon !

Yes, it's back after a three year gap which probably needs no explaining !

A Sunday post breakfast event to help cachers in Shrewsbury on the Bank Holiday weekend identify each other, and with luck meet some local cachers . Meet You There at the given co-ordinates between 10.30 am and 12.30 am for a little geo-chat and tb swappage. Longer than the previous events I've held because 2 hours is required for this 'community celebration' event, you don't have to stay for the whole time though, even if I do ... . The location is near the bus turning point on Gravel Hill Lane, I shall be lurking in the area studiously studying a GPS and not getting on a bus ... if there actually are any buses to not get on .

Parking at the location, or nearby will not be possible, also driving on the winding streets of Shrewsbury on a Bank Holiday weekend will be very difficult, (see the background image, taken in town on a similar Bank Holiday weekend ) so I'd suggest parking elsewhere and walking to the event if you are not just staggering out of your tent : it is an interesting wander along Pig Trough and the footpath through the houses from the town centre. The nature of that path (or alternatively the need to camp overnight !) gives the event the high terrain rating , in case you were wondering if you needed to climb a tree or something . Once you manage to get there, GZ itself is fine for buggies, wheelchairs and less mobile cachers .

 If you've thought about attending an event, but worried there will be a bunch of folk there who already know each other and you'll feel left out, this is your perfect starter : attendees here are strangers from all over the country, but instant caching friends on arrival .As well as visitors it would be great if local cachers could come along, especially those who have set some of the excellent caches in the area so we can say thank you !
