Activities update – Hiking and Bushwalking

Updating you again from our series of posts on some of the activities we have planned for The Melbourne Event in November.
Remember, we are planning a full agenda of activities but none are compulsory and attendance at the activities is not required to claim a find on the event.

Hiking which is also called Bushwalking in Australia or Tramping in New Zealand is a great way to see parts of our fantastic country that you just can’t get to any other way. After venturing out on a few day walks you might be tempted to try an overnight walk but aren’t sure what you might need. We will be running an extensive information session covering everything you need to know to get out there, safely and comfortably.

Until then you can have a look at our handouts:

GSAKits a complete mystery to some and an absolute savior to others.  We will be running a series of different sessions aimed at the complete beginner, right up to the experienced user.  We encourage you to bring along your laptop and get hands on.  There will be takeaway notes to help you remember everything when you get home too.

Activities update

This is the first of a series of posts on some of the activities we have planned for The Melbourne Event in November.
We are planning a full agenda of activities that will run at our venue in Casey Fields as well as related activities a little further afield.  None are compulsory and attendance at the activities is not required to claim a find on the event.  If you want to spend your entire weekend finding caches and only appear on site to sign the log book, that is totally cool.A tricky hide

On to the update!
We have invited an experienced, award-winning, geocache hider to come along and give some tips on everything from container types, camouflage, painting and glues to magnets and working with Groundspeaks’ guidelines.
You never know what ideas a session like this might spark for your next devious hide!
