The Globalsat Geocaching competition

Globalsat have kindly sponsored our SatNav Expo and have donated a Globalsat GH-601 fitness and training GPS as a prize in the Globalsat Geocaching competition.

While it is normal to use a GPS to locate a cache in Geocaching competitions we appreciate that not everyone will have a GPS so we have designed the competition to work with or without a GPS. If you have a GPS then all you need to do is key in the co-ordinates and go straight to the location. If you don't have a GPS then there are some (easy) clues to follow to find the cache.

When you have found the password come back to the main hall to the Charity Prize Draw stand and your name will be entered on a raffle ticket. The winner of the competition will be drawn from all the correct entries at 14:00 just before the prize draw. You must be present in the hall to claim the Globalsat GH-601, if the first ticket is not claimed then another winner will be drawn.

Important Safety Notice
Neither the Corn Exchange, PocketGPSWorld.com or any of the exhibitors accept any responsibility for any loss, injury or damage caused to anyone or anything during this event.
