Contents

Programme

  • We will do Geocaching as in Stroossen Wibbelt 2011. See there for the cache description and the posters.
  • Throwie building? No. It's "wibbelt", no sports associated with throwies. What about harddisk-Weitwurf?

Todo

  • we have only one GPS, would need some more
  • batteries for GPS
  • shall we put gimmicks in the cache?
  • buy cache container(s), last time we gave the container with the money away. Bad idea :-)
  • create beginners and advanced cache boxes
  • print the posters for the schedule & plastify
  • create banner "geocaching"
  • create poster/flyer with QR codes for geocaching apps
  • do a pre run of the geocaches with all people which will be on the booth

Setup

Material

Put all this in the event box. Cover the box with plastic in case it's rainy

  • posters with the timing
  • duct tape
  • white board markers
  • syn2cat banner
  • hypnocube
  • 50m extension cord
  • GPS devices

what where

Need several people

  • install advanced cache (needs 30 minutes setup!)
  • put posters up
  • hang syn2cat banner inside tent
  • connect hypnocube
  • program GPS with the initial coordinates of the 2 caches
  • install beginner's cache

Activity

Depending of the available people on stand start a geocaching tour every 30 minutes. The beginners lasts 20 minutes, the advanced 45 minutes.

  • explain what geocaching is
  • go with a group to the cache, give GPS recievers to group. Do not lead them.
  • advanced: on each waypoint give 5-10 minutes to solve. Explain that sometimes on other caches this can be much more complex.
  • at the cache people can put donation in box. For security, go back and recover the money from box.

Teardown

Don't run all away

  • recover the 2 cache boxes
  • give money to the organizer in envelope
