Itinerary:
We'll meet at Rundle Park at 11:45 AM for a 12:00 PM start. It's going to be a fun day of Geocaching and we'll have a picnic lunch about halfway through the event. We will be finished by no later than 5:00 PM but likely a little earlier than that. The travelling pace will be leisurely and the fun will be finding the caches. As per Geocaching etiquette, we will leave something if we take something, or maybe even just leave something if there is nothing in a cache. There is no particular route planned, but at about 2:00 PM or so we'll stop and have a picnic lunch. Please ensure you bring enough food and drink for yourself and any guests you bring along. After about a half hour lunch break we'll get back at the hunting. The plan is to try to find as many caches as there are participants so everyone can have the fun of cracking the cache. We will try to not travel more than 5km away from our starting point, but depending on the group we may be able to travel more. Depending on the size of the group and how many GPS devices we have we can split into groups and have "captains". This is not a race nor a challenge, only a day of fun and adventure. Geocaching is very much a family friendly event so bringing kids and or dogs along is encouraged!
