To make it easier for you, our dear guest, to visit and get the full benefit of the Copen Adventure event, IsabellaMolly and A. Schilling aka Mette Ferslev and Anne Schilling have created a GPX POI file, which you can download by clicking on the GPX icon above.
You can use it to find parking around Kastrup Fortet as well as restrooms, the stage and all the other interesting places on the event site.
We hope you enjoy the file and the overview of the Copen Adventure event it will give you.
New geoart with 70 caches for Copen Adventure
August 15, 2023
In the run-up to the Copen Adventure event, there will be a beautiful new geoart on the east side of Amager towards Amager Strand and close to Kastrup Fortet.
The motif is the Sun Ship from the Copen Adventure logo, and the new geoart will consist of 70 caches divided into 29 Mystery caches, 29 Letterbox caches and 12 Wherigo caches, created jointly by IsabellaMolly (Mette Ferslev) and Olefant (Ole Nordstrøm).
This also gives you something to look forward to if you’ve already cleared Amager of caches, which is another good reason (or 70) to come and participate in the Copen Adventure Mega event.
Mega Picnic at the Mega Event
August 6, 2023
This year’s Mega event in Copenhagen presents: Mega Picnic!
The Copen Adventure event is held at Kastrup Fort, which is a protected monument in the City of Copenhagen. There are a wide range of rules and opportunities at these ancient monuments, and we take advantage of one of the special opportunities here: The fort is an open park in the city, and we have the perfect opportunity to bring blankets, chairs, coffee, cake, packed lunches, etc. and create a Mega geo-picnic in the green areas in and around Kastrup Fort.
Unfortunately, it will not be possible to buy food and drinks at Kastrup Fort itself, but there are a number of coffee and ice cream stands along Amager Strandpark and cafés and restaurants within walking and cycling distance from the event area.
By having such a great setting for a picnic, we hope that Copen Adventure will become a Mega Social Picnic Event, where geocachers can meet other geocachers from both Denmark and abroad and thus bind the geocaching community even better together with new relationships across municipal and national borders.
So prepare yourself before you arrive at the event site and pack a blanket, food, drinks and snacks in your bag along with your GPS and your good mood.
Together, let’s make Copen Adventure a Mega Social Picnic Event 😊
Meet four lackeys and Signal the Frog at the Copen Adventure event
August 6, 2023
A Mega event on Danish soil is something special, as it’s not something that happens every year or even every other year.
Therefore, it has to be something special, and in addition to trying to make a big mega-social event with great opportunities for picnics, H.C. Andersen adventures, new caches and great opportunities to get to know other geocachers, we also get a very nice visit from the Geocaching headquarters in Seattle.
We’re lucky enough to have four lackeys attending the Copen Adventure event, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet Ben Field (Benno), Jeff Caulfield (gearguru), Bri Suffety (Sassy Bandit) and Annie Love (Love).
In addition, Signal the Frog himself will also be there, so you can say hello to and maybe get a selfie with the happy, navigating frog who is the mascot of geocaching.
The deadline for ordering coins has passed, but you can still order yours – while stocks last!
July 3, 2023
June 30, 2023 was the deadline for us to pass on the number of Copen Adventure coins sold to the manufacturer so they can start producing them and we can get them delivered and packed for distribution at the Mega event when it takes place on September 2, 2023.
However, we have chosen to produce a small extra quantity that is still for sale in the shop, and these will be the absolute last Copen Adventure coins available.
So if you haven’t yet secured one or more of the beautiful coins to commemorate – and support – the H.C. Andersen-themed Mega event at Kastrup Fort, now is the time to act.
There is no time to make more coins, and no more will be produced at a later date, so on a first-come, first-served basis, the number of coins left is as shown on the product pages.
There’s still time – while stocks last!
Mammoth E G A
March 20, 2023
The support association was founded on March 4, 2023 in Kvarterhuset on Amager.
Headquarters of the association: Greater Copenhagen and Denmark.
The aim is to provide a financial and practical basis for organizing large events with 500+ participants. The association is a Support Association for GPS treasure hunting in DK.
The statutes are the normal ones for a sports association. Members and the Board of Directors are not personally liable for the obligations of the Association.
The Board of Directors is constituted as follows (with real names for the bank)
Olefant (chairman), NymandT (treasurer), Minck, IsabellaMolly, gadekær. Alternates: Hjalte, A.Schilling.
The association has been given a CVR number, and we are in the process of setting up an association account for the payment of Coins, membership fees and expenses for the organization of the Mega event.
With a hoped-for surplus, the money can be ready for a future Mega Event.
If you are thinking of organizing a Mega Event in 2024, it is good to start working on it now, and the Support Association can help with Mega status, sparring and other assistance. Feel free to contact us.
We are in the process of developing a website so that we can start ordering the Coins that are being produced through Just Coins as soon as possible.
There are already a lot of expenses for the creation of the website, bank account, start-up advances for Coins, Wood-Coins, information leaflets, materials for events on the day of the event, Lackey from HQ and the like.
Therefore, it would be a great support if you would already now send a donation to MobilePay no. 4338CN and write your Geo name.
All best wishes
The Management Board
Here we go: mega-event.dk is live
March 19, 2023
We are in the initial stages of preparing for the Copen Adventure – Mega event 2023.
Initially, we have created a support association called Mammut E G A, which will be responsible for all the practicalities of the event, and it has come to consist of Ole Palle Nordstrøm (Olefant), Torben Nymand (NymandT), Kristian Minck (Minck), Mette Bisgaard Ferslev (IsabellaMolly), Lisbeth Gadekær (gadekær), Anne Schilling (A. Schilling) and Hjalte Brasen (Hjalte).
The aim of the support association is to support the practical work with a financially sustainable basis, so that all expenses related to the Mega event, including coins, are covered. We are hoping for a small profit, which we can hand over – together with this website – to a new planning group, should one arise around a Mega event in 2024.
We’ll be sure to update you here whenever something exciting happens, such as coin sales and so on.
