CacheWalker's Geocaching Road Trip thread

[center]The Geocaching Road Trip '15
HTML https://www.geocaching.com/play/promo/roadtrip[/center]
A thread to discuss the road trip; which caches you've found,
suggest caches to others to do and maybe even plan a trip
together e.g. to a D/T 5 cache :)
Let the discussion begin! ;D

Did GC4RNY0 - CBA15:Croma, nr Worcester, for our 10+ favourite
points on the 19th. It's one that we had previously found (with
a tip from wrighty!) but not logged as we were saving for a
quick C&D if need be for the 366 day challenge.
We've finally got around to putting an event on in Worcester on
the 7th July (GC5Q842) so that's the second one covered. First
event in the area for quite some time. Every one welcome, of
course, if you can make it.
Not sure about any of the others yet though...

YOU WERE GEOCACHER #19651 OF 47927 TO EARN THIS SOUVENIR. NICE
JOB!
So I have the first souvenir. Not sure which cache triggered it,
but I did do Agricultural Cathedral (Oxfordshire)
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GCGA2T on the 19th which has over 100 favs.
I am not chasing down the souvenirs, but if I should acquire any
along then way then good.

I did Cape View today with 60 FP's and this was my first cache
since 'road trip' started, so that triggered the first for me :)
I think most will just happen, just might be the T5 that will
need thought, if I'm bothered by this :o

Still not sure which cache I'll do. There are some I have had
planned anyway (e.g in the Brecon Beacons) but if not there are
plenty with 10+ fave points where we're going on holiday. So
there's no immediate rush for me :) - although if I get an
opportunity to find one sooner, I will! :D
I agree [member=3]walktall[/member], T or D 5 one will take more
thought! :-\

]If you find a difficulty 5 cache in July you get one of the new
souvenirs. A cache came out in May with a difficulty 5. Here is
the first log on that cache

FTF Found the cache on this very nice sunny day. Will only log
it for the souvenir on July 17. Very well hidden. Will give you
a Favorite when it will be logged. Thanks Michel for the cache.

Absolutely, but lots do...
When I first looked on the evening of the 18th there were 16
folks who had got the souvenir, odd thinks I, then it dawned on
me that they were probably Australian cachers logging! We were
#7738 to collect it, logged at about 16:20 on the 19th...

Forgetting all the ways it is possible to cheat the system for a
moment, if any of us were in charge of this souvenir setup, what
would we do differently?
I thought about having different levels of road trip souvenirs,
Bronze, Silver, Gold kinda thing. Making it something to really
work for. Newer cachers could still achieve souvenirs, whilst
more experienced ones could really be made to work for the top
level ones.
Back on specific topic, the next one should easily happen. I
can't see the T5 or D5 one happening for me. Really not feeling
overly fit currently, and I don't think I have any D5 caches in
my solved pile that I haven't found before. I might try THIS ONE
