WWFM – World Wide Flash Mobs – A fun and friendly way to promote geocaching around the world.
Thousands of geocachers at dozens of coordinated events spanning the globe, gathering at the same time.
Sonny and Sandy of the PodCacher podcast came up with the WWFM idea in 2007 after attending a mega-event. It was meant to be a fun “opposite” of a mega-event: all the cool aspects of a geocaching event, crammed into 15 minutes of excitement. An added dimension is represented by the letters "WW" - World Wide - these events occur across the planet on the same day at (mostly) the same time! These caching events are intended to bring geocachers together in a creative way, as well as introduce others (newbies) to the hobby.
Check out the History of the Geocaching WWFM events.
Our Event
For our flash mob we want to get as many geocachers at the Roman Amphitheatre in Chester as possible.
There is a dresscode for this event - we want to see you in your best Roman Centurion gear (paper swords and geocaching themed shields will be provided).
There will be some silly group photos and we may even have a short one miniute battle!
Please remember the Amphitheatre is a historic site and needs to be treat with respect. You are also responsible for any travel bugs, children or geo-idiots that you might bring with you.
