+molfrew-mosstoad Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Chalk one up for Norfolk, recievd it today from Groundspeak. Wil release it soon on its travels Quote Link to comment
+Just Roger Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Mine arrived from Groundspeak in the mail this morning. I will release it in the Northampton / Milton Keynes area soon (always assuming that I can find a cache that is big enough to hold it in this area.) There's one names after you, almost on your doorstep - that's plenty big enough! Watching closely... I was thinking of one that I hadn't already found but now something has cropped up so I hope to revisit a cache tomorrow with room for it. (The one where I watched you thrashing about in the undergrowth while I was failing dismally to find another cache) Edited November 15, 2007 by Just Roger Quote Link to comment
+plasmafamily Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Check me out on their website, second photo from left http://www.worlddiabetesday.org/wddgallery...=all&page=6 That page doesn't have UK piccies on it - page 8 does though. Lisa Page 13 now. I think they're still adding photos to the site Plasmagal, photofreak and hornerdees are on page 7 looking very windblown. Quote Link to comment
+dino-irl Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 One arrived today from Groundspeak and one on the way from Wendy. I'll release one myself and send the other one to Dublin to travel there. One for NI or down the West would round things off nicely if anyone has spares they want to send this way?

+Bambography Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Rightio folks. I too managed to get down to the eye last night and following two visits to the lovely girls standing in the cold I have a lot of coins in a box here. Anyone still wanting one PM me with an address.

+Lydford Locators Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Yes - our coin arrived today - will try to get it dropped off in the North Wiltshire area this weekend. Quote Link to comment
+Skadhi Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I was waiting in Jubilee Gardens, taking photos of the display, when I saw the 2 white umbrellas a little earlier than the expected time. Claire and Gemma were very friendly and took some photos as my daughter received her coin. (Thanks girls, for standing there in the cold, so we can have fun with these coins.) Apparently 35 geocachers had turned up last Friday to pick up coins and I met Captain Gore-tex from Bristol just after we had got ours. Nice to meet you. I just spotted CSC chatting up the "Lovely Ladies" as we dashed off to get our train, (so that's how he gets all those coins!! ) I have a lot of coins in a box here. I was wondering what would happen if there were any leftovers, did you get them then Bambography?? I picked up a dozen spares to hand out to local cachers in the NE Hants area. I think it is fantastic the way geocaching has taken on board the Diabetes message, and in such a fun way. Thanks Geocaching.com/Groundspeak... Quote Link to comment

I asked what would be happening with them and although they were not 100% sure, they believe that they will be made available online at a cost that would cover postage and a small donation to the charity. When this happens it will be communicated via Groundspeak to ensure that geocachers are aware of it. Quote Link to comment
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 First geocoin arrived in Portugal. Lots of portuguese geocachers are waiting for the mailman. Quote Link to comment

+Jonovich Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ours also arrived today - VERY MANY THANKS! Really appreciate the chance to take part in this years UFD awareness promotion scheme! Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment
+JustAlan Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Just got home with another 30 coins, email me if you want one! A few other cachers turned up and went away with some extras so Im sure there will be more up for grabs soon. I spent a while chatting to Claire and Gemma (if you are reading this, you are both gorgeous...) who were giving the coins out, they apologised for not being able to get back for the flash mob and also said everyone involved worldwide with giving out the coins was told to only give them to people who ask, so no need to worry about loads of muggles ending up with them. Check me out on their website, second photo from left http://www.worlddiabetesday.org/wddgallery...=all&page=6 e-mail sent. Arrived safely through the post this morning.

+ayepee Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) received my coin from Groundspeak the other day, so just HAD to go out caching to set it on it's way Tony edited for spelllingg Edited November 20, 2007 by ayepee Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Took the coin left in my possession to a "do" in Covent Garden last evening. Got it photographed with Sir Steve Redgrave (5 times Gold Olympian) and an Honorary Vice President of Diabetes UK. Maybe the first WDD coin in the hands of an Olympian? Sir Steve & the coin. Myself, Caesar, Sir Steve and the coin. Naturally, explained all about geocaching too Edited November 21, 2007 by Dorsetgal & GeoDog Quote Link to comment
