Garmin Geocoin Challenge - Free Geocoins!

[The Birches Head Hunters]

Just in case anyone hasn't seen the posting on the GC forums, Garmin are currently giving away (yes - free!) a 'hoard' of limited-edition geocoins across the UK in Blacks and Millets stores.

Here's a website all about it:-

http://garminuk.geocaching.com/

The 'Participating Stores' list can be ignored. Mrs BHH popped into our local Blacks today (not listed), and they confirmed that they'll be receiving a box of coins sometime next week.

There's also a prize draw linked to the coins. :socool:

Oxford are all out! Dunno if they're getting anymore. They received a packet of 18 and started dishing them out yesterday. Glad I ran for it this morning, rather nice coin there

After reading the thread on gc.com, I made a slight detour to Telford (on my way to Wales) and picked up a coin.

I have now registered it and plan to drop it off at a cache in North Staffordshire on Sunday.

Hi, got my Big Ben coin on Sat.

Have any of the other 4 deisgns been seen?

[fraggle69]

Not to my knowledge, I'd keep in contact with yer local blacks to see when they get a delivery.

I have been lucky enough to receive a coin today via a friend who managed to get 3
I think the wording on the site has changed as I never noticed this sentance before

"Please note that all Blacks and Millets Stores will soon be participating in this promotion. Please check back for updates."

It looks to me as if another batch of stores will be chosen when they release the next design which would help those that don't live near any of the currant ones

Fingers crossed folks

Why not they could be considered valid customers - although young !! :socool:

I was told by a manager that, "I wouldn't know if you grabbed 2 strangers off the street and asked them to come in and get them for you".

I've got an angel of the north geocoin, but would prefer stonehenge, big ben or one of the others. Anyone up for a swap?
