GCAVKYR 9US Celebrate International Geocaching Day 2024 by 9US Event D1/T1

Once again we were lucky with the weather, it may not have been a lovely warm sunny day but at least it did not rain. To start our International Geocaching Day celebrations at 9am 5 new caches along Lon Eifion went live. We hadn’t expected there to be so much competition for the FTF’s but it did keep us entertained.

After finding some fishing caches at the UK Mega we decided to introduce this style of hide to local cachers in the form of an Ad Lab, Fishing at Plas Gwernoer. As Ecobake put in his log this ‘kept the kid’s of all ages amused’. After the BBQ Mike produced this years extreme game, target catapulting…. not quite as dangerous as the knife throwing!

A big thanks to Pete for manning the BBQ, Mike & Gail for the games, everyone who brought tickets for the tombola & raffle, the washing up fairy, everyone for helping clear up and of course for attending.

The Ad Lab will be available at forth coming events at Plas Gwernoer or by prior arrangement with Pete or Ann.
