Welcome
The third Mega event to be held in the UK took place on Saturday 31st July 2010, when the big event traveled North to the Scottish town of Perth.
As well as the main event there was a full range of side events, trade stands, geo-talks, raffle prizes, geocoin trading, travel bug swaps, and of course there was ample opportunity to speak to fellow cachers as well!

The Big Tree Country organisation provided us with their top 10 views in Perthshire and if you click on the image to the left you will be able to download a pdf file which lists them all along with the a cache that will take you to the location. |
Cache Clusters and Public Transport
In order to you help plan your time whilst you are here at the Mega Event, we have added two more pages to the Location section. The first shows where the the local cache clusters occur and the other provides access to a planning tool for detailing journeys using public transport.
The cache cluster information is displayed on an interactive map and using your mouse, you can quickly zoom into all the cluster locations. Clicking on each cache will display some basic information about it and within this information there are links back to the relevant cache page on geocaching.com. Click here to display the cache cluster page.
A few people have asked about public transport and we have added a plug in from the Travel Line Scotland website to help you plan your journeys. The calculator offers detailed journey information and will accept place names, postcodes, landmarks etc as valid start and end points. Click here to display the public transport calculator page.
Registrations pass the 1000 mark
Its good to see that earlier this year in May we received our 1000th person registering for Mega Scotland. Its clearly going to be an international event as we have received registrations from cachers living in 21 different countries around the world. For details of which countries these are and some other demographic information then please click here
Flag Counter
In order to gauge the international aspect to the event we have recently added a 'flag' counter, and as you can see below, its not just those from the UK who are showing an interest in the event.
