Less than 6 months to go to the Mega and it started getting quite busy, we needed to have Committee meetings every 3-4 weeks and I had a flock of log sheep to make and the mega day Program to help with, and all the side events to make the cache pages for and the Mega geocoins to design, and ‘woodies’ for all the events to design and so on and so forth (and I thought I was getting it quite easy, others on the Committee seemed to be much busier sorting the campsite, the entertainment, setting out hundreds of caches on cache trails etc)

Every Autumn since the mid 80’s I have spent a weekend with Friends in a caravan park at Hunstanton, Norfolk.
This year, the 30 somethingth time we have done this was different, in that we were no longer going to Hunstanton, but to a campsite near Trimmingham, forty five minutes further round the coast, and in an area where there aren’t that many caches. Continue reading →
