Day 1 of Mega geocaching event - crazy goings on

26 October (Labour Weekend) - The Mega event finally got underway.  We were based at Albany Stadium, an excellent venue with plenty of open parkland around it and shops and eating places handy.

Our venue was the corporate area of Albany stadium, with this wonderful view looking down to the rugby field.  Some All Blacks actually turned up during the weekend, and Dan Carter and Tony Woodcock waved to the geocachers.  Unfortunately I wasn't there at the time.

Gathering on the first morning

Then out to do some geocaching - big crowds began to gather at many of the geocaches - very social!

On the Saturday evening a flash mob with lights and torches was organised at the Albany shops.

Then out to Muriwai beach for a night event in the forest, using headlamps.  Aliens were spotted...

This one moved and waved.

The final very large geocache!

The night event had some whizz bang electronic puzzle solving too.  Great fun, and finally home to bed at 1 am.
