Hi, I saw your listing yesterday, be sure that at least some people (including me) will arrive :)))

I will do a short translation here: 9./10. cervna 2007 je v
Nemecku pri
Hannoveri Megaevent (len v blizkom okoli je 60 cache, takze startujte geokosacky :slight_smile:
ja sa urcite prihlasim :slight_smile:

To vypadá skvěle - jsme s Imaginem pro každou “špatnost”, takže moc rádi pojedeme.

Many thanks for translation.

ATTENTION: the Event is in Bochum!! (near Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, …)
The Eventplace is an old coalmine (in german “ZECHE”), which is called “Zeche Hannover”.

So drive to BOCHUM (not Hannover), if you want to visit the MegPott GeOlympics!

Besrte regards
Markus

aha, takze oprava: Event je v Bochum, miesto eventu su byvale uholne doly, v nemcine “ZECHE”, ktore sa volaju Zeche Hannover. T.j. nejazdite do Hannoveru :slight_smile:

Grrrr!!! Mají nás za blbce - nikam nejedu ! :-))))))

A co to znamena GeoOlympiada ? To jako vrh GPSkou na dalku… a tak ? :slight_smile:

Hello,

I´m one of the organisation team (Marc aka Susanne&Marc).

I would like to explain some questions and the time table for the weekend 9th and 10th of June.

We start on 9th June at 09:00.

The main meeting point is “Zeche Hannover” in Bochum (Günnigfelder Straße 251, 44793 Bochum).

There you get the last starting points for the caches, which we publish for the Mega-Event.

This means, that we publish the cache listings about one week before, but the first stage from all caches

will NOT be in the listing. So no one can find the new cache before the eventday!

Because of the count of geocachers, we have 3 other small meeting points, where you will get only the

cache informations too, nothing else!

In the main Event-Area “Zeche Hannover” we have guidances through the old building. (this is free)

A highlight for kids is a special build mine called “Zeche Knirps”. This is open too and free.

In this “Zeche Knirps” children can learn, how the coalminers worked years before.

From about 10:00 to 18:00 you have the possibility to do some Geolympic Games, like

a) film can throwing

b) cache cointainer pilling up (you have 1 minute time)

c) so called: tripple fast caching (we measure your time)

=> Start line => first cachebox => opening/logging/closing => walk or run 100ft (about 160m)


=> second cachebox => opening/logging/closing => walk or run 100ft (about 160m) => third cachebox


=> opening/logging/closing => walk or run the start line back

d) …

For this games we will make an award ceremony at about 19:30. (Gold / Silver / Bronce)

Of course we will make a tombola for all regular teams (about 19:30)

At about 21:30 you have the chance to make some night caches.

For the day we are planning to publish more then 40 new caches.

On Sunday 10th you can make your breakfast between 07:30 and 09:30.

At 10:30 is the end of camping.

Then the cito event will start. This will published in the next days.

We clean up the area near “Zeche Hannover” in groups.

Everybody who collects garbage and signs the cito logbook can log this cito event.

If you have questions, feel free to contact us or post questions (please in english!).

Thanks for your attention and best regards

Marc (aka Susanne&Marc)

To vypada dobre. Pokud naplnim vozidlo tremi dalsimi megaeventochtivymi geocachery, tak bych jel

zajimave
ze bych zajel

priznej se, kombajnisto, ze te zaujalo tech 40 kesek na miste :)))

ne, dostal jsem chut na cerstvou morskou rybu…

btw uz viem o Dandrovom geovagone a Yelenoch, ktori tiez pojdu autom. urobime cesko-slovensku (:slight_smile: delegaciu :slight_smile:

Tak to se k vaší česko-slovenské delegaci připojíme i my s Imaginem, s geopsem a naším geovozidlem, jestli teda můžeme ;o))
A jak to vidíte s noclehem - berete stany?!?

Myslis primo kolonu s vlajeckami a policejnim doprovodem? A ve vsech mestech, kterymi kolona projede budou jasajici davy s mavatky?

spis v okruhu 20 km od trasy kolony nastane houfne disablovani cache
a vyprav by se dala nazvat “czech geolocust 2007”

Asi stany, ak bude miesto.

Jak jsem tak koukal na mapku, tak bychom si možná měli určit polohu české stanové části :wink:
