Intro to Geocaching

FGOFF Faulknor-Murrell — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 09:01:42 +0000

Find attached 13-8 APPROVAL OF ATTENDANCE form for the Intro to Geocaching event, Saturday 10 July 2010.

Basic Details

Where	Morgan Educare, 182 Flaxmere Ave, Flaxmere (Map)
When	0800 – Evening Saturday 10 July 2010
Cost	$5 contribution for fuel Money for Fish & Chips for Dinner
Gear Required	See list below
Transport	Own transport to and from Flaxmere. Transport provided to and from Cache.
More info	See event post on geocaching.com

Unfortunately due to family commitments (it’s school holidays after all) we’ve had to scale this back as an activity. As a unit we will only be attending the SATURDAY. CDTs are welcome to join in the rest of the weekend, but this will NOT be as a recognised unit activity. The No. 13 Squadron GPS units can be made available if you wish to attend Sunday as well, however you will need to provide your own AA batteries (2 per unit – if you provide Energizer or similar you should get 5 hours continuous use).

The day is comprised of registration at 8am, breakfast (provided) and then a chat about Geocaching. From there, the whole group will go on a combined cache find. In the afternoon our group will be going on the “Adventurous” cache hunt at one of our favourite haunts, Everetts DOC camp. Details of the cache can be found on geocaching.com

You will need to bring a standard outdoors day pack. The organisers have also advised bringing the following:

strong shoes
a torch
a rope
pruning secateurs
first aid kit
drinking water
insect repellent
togs and towel
some food for energy

The event is free, however there will be a couple of raffles being run (with Geocaching related prizes) and dinner on Saturday night will be Fish and Chips so bring enough money for both.

13 Squadron will be providing GPS units for our team.

If other NZCF units are interested, we purchased Garmin eTrex Venture HC GPS units from www.mapworld.co.nz who gave us a terrific deal!
