A Middsummers Night Cache.

The 20th June was the date for A Midsummers Night Cache (GC1R3XV).
I arranged to meet Don aka The Syllogiser before the event and do the Turton Section of the Legend Series. These were the last handful of cache I need to complete the how series. See next Blog. After that it was on to Tookholes for a pub meal before heading up the hill to Jubilee Tower for Sunset.
On getting to The Royal in Tookshole we found The Linedancers propping the bar up with Natty1 so we joined them for the meals. So with a meal inside us and a pint or two the time had come to head to the car park and get ready for the walk. People started to arrive and just before the off we gathered in the car park for a team photo taken by Irene of The Linedancers. Then following a roll call by our event organiser Foinavon it was off to the tower we heaeded. The Geogeriatrics had headed up early for a head start and had only just arrived as the first load of us arrived. Also already at the top was Phil of PhilPamAndRob who had been out one one of the trails before making his way to the tower. I headed up to the top of the tower to get some photo of the group arriving but was having trouble keeping the camera still on full zoom while trying to get my breath back. Once everyone had arrived there was time for another group photo before heading back down the hill and back to the pub. The sunset was not what we wanted has there was a lot of cloud coverage. While on the way down I was able to look for Round the ruins No'6 Owd Aggie's (GCW76X). On find the cache the log had already been signed as a group entry otherwise the log book would off been full and it would of taken sometime for everyone to line up and sign it in turn. This was another great event and an opportunity to meet so many cachers.
