January 2006 cache event in Edinburgh

Here's a trivial, though not very interesting thing...

I'd originally intended to attend the event by taking my car by ferry from Larne on Thurday, returning on Monday. But...

The ferry fares from N.I. are now so outrageous that it's actually cheaper for me to fly to Edinburgh, hire a car for three days, and put fuel in it.

This saves a whole day's travelling, and still leaves me quids in.

Glad someone posted that they didn't understand as well.

I was trying to work out which geocachers are from east fife and who is from Forfar. Am sure there is a simple explanation which will no doubt prove I am missing the obvious Embarassed

You can add me to the Fife/Forfar puzzle, was there some sort of football game on?

Wlw, for some reason getting a flight is what I thought you were going to do? Hence why the accommodation that I suggested, I made the comment that it was on the road from the airport.

East Fife 5; Forfar, so far - 4
Nah, I dunno what the freak is on about either...
- An old nugget due to the alliteration. I promise not to use such nonsense at the SGDO. You'll recognise me by my long sleeved jacket with straps at the end of the sleeves that attach to my sides...

Sad news; Team Ullium will not be able to attend due to Bills health.
Once again, I am sure we all wish both Bill and Angela all the best.

Yes, it's a real shame, since Bill had hoped that this would be a chance to meet up with his geocaching pals.

But we will be thinking of him on the day.

So, this quiz then. I take it that Wlw is the question setter, but who will be the quizmaster/mistress?? Will he/she be as ruthless as Mrs naefearjustbeer? Will there be a nail biting tie this time? Can team Tongue's victory be outdone? Who are Team Tongue? Can the ECG (Edinburgh Cache Gang) outwit them? Too many questions already. Rolling Eyes

I have flipsheets but not a whiteboard. Could pin a large A3 sheet up somewhere perhaps.
