Mega Event Weekend

What a cracking couple of days. Haydn (HillHappy1) picked me up around 10 on Saturday and we headed north, picking up caches as we went. Before reaching York (where we were to spend the night) we had managed to find 22 caches.

In York, we stayed at the youth hostel and after a clean up, we walked in the city centre, where we found another four caches including this virtual.Sunday morning, with the sun shining, we had an early breakfast before venturing out to find a few more caches before arriving at the Mega Event venue. There are a number of caches within easy walking distance of the venue so we joined the queues to sign the logs. As we entered the event, my finds tally stood at 1899, making the UK's first Mega Event my 1900th cache.

The event was extremely well organisied with plenty of space for all the cachers and the many trade stands, where I spent a few bob on... well, that might spoil future caches!

After a couple of hours and having met many people, some for the first time; some for the umpteenth time, we set off on a Southerly bearing grabbing a few caches on the way. By the time we reached Balders Manor, my weekend cache finds had edged (rocketed) up to 1910; 50 finds over the two days.

All in all a great weekend with fellow cachers, not least HillHappy1 to whom I send many thanks.
