I must admit I didn’t hear about the term ‘muggle’ before I started geocaching. I’m not into Harry Potter and similar stories. Some people don’t like the term and like to refer to a non geoaching person. It doesn’t sound that good, but I don’t mind using both terms. It’s the same thing with the term stash. Read more…
Any idea what this building serves as? Read more…
Weekends are usual very busy and is dictated by the son’s agenda. Saturday morning: bringing him to the judo training. Meanwhile I make quick purchases at the butcher and the grocery store for a couple of days and pick him up again an hour later. Saturday noon: making lunch, eat and bring the son to keyboard lesson, stay there for 20 minutes and heading home again. Afternoon: the wife wants to do some shopping. Sundays are dictated by the scouts activities of the son. We usually search a cache the time we have between dropping of and picking up the son. Read more…
I’m disappointed, very disappointed. I had – in my eyes – a good idea for a cache and I was in the middle of gathering information for the story/background info when I was suddenly aware that it can’t be realised. At least not in the form I intended to be. Since the place is historical and the possible high amount of muggles, a physical cache wasn’t possible. So why not a virtual cache where people must take a picture of themselves with a GPSr in their hand and e-mail an answer on a question about the location. A good example of this is the earth cache I visited, as mentioned in earlier blog. Read more…
It’s official. I have my own travel bugs. I found them yesterday evening in my post box. I told you in an earlier blog that it stroke me that the price at EU resellers is way higher than the US prices and they ship on top via expensive courier services. Read more…
Today I tackled the ‘De Demer cache’ GCJ6JG again. This cache is located in a city (nearby) called Diest, also known as the Orange city because of his historic connection with the House of Orange-Nassau. Read more…

Unsettled weather was again the theme of the day. Despite this, we wanted to pick up our first geocache: Kesselseberg dagzoom GCZJNC. It’s remarkable to find such a geological wonder so nearby home. Read more…
I mentioned in an earlier blog that I coulnd’t find a chapel cache because it was too crowdy and I couldn’t find it on All Souls’ Day. I also made a mistake with a feint in the neighbourhood and nearly broke my house keys with it. Read more…
Today was Wodanza day. In preperation to the WWFM IV Leuven (Flashing the Bug) event GC1HJ24, I decided to tackle a few caches authored by him in order to learn more about him. You know a geocacher by his stashes. If that saying doesn’t exist yet, it must be invented
