Yesterday, we had a training raid in order to see if our team is fit enough to tackle the CAROLO GEOCACHING CHALLENGE #1 (Challenge) GC1M4DA
My geoaching WE started Friday rather scary. I wanted to tackle Missiehuis GC1MFX8, yet another fine cache from Freggie. Read more…
Sunday = scouts day = caching day. The girls didn’t want to join me (again) and went for a swim instead. I nearly didn’t go geocaching either. Just when I wanted to depart, I got this painful stomachache. After a while it disappeared though. Read more…
After the past festivities, it’s time to get back to business. That is off course geocaching business. On my last X-mas vacation day, I needed to drop off the music keyboard my son borrowed from a friend/colleague of mine. As always, I try to combine this with some stash hunting. Nobody else of the family wanted to join me, so I’ve put 8 caches on list. It’s kind of a loop that I made on the south of the Belgian province of Limburg, which is a very nice region. Today was rather peaceful: I encountered only one muggle. These are 8 cashes I’ve found in 2 hours time, which I think is rather fast. Maybe it’s because 6 of them make part of the “Rondje Zuid Limburg”, a 10 cache tour around the most beautiful spots in that region and thus no work for me to find out what the best way to combine was.
In case you didn’t notice yet: I’m a big fan of the geocaches by Freggie. He manages to let people discover my home town in a pleasant way without making things to difficult in order to let one enjoy the environment. Today I tackled the last one: Wijds Lubbeek – Multi GC1F7GP. Since it was a rather long multi, the girls wanted to stay home and thus it became a father – son trip. Read more…
It’s X-mas holiday, so plenty of time for geocaching , although I don’t want to overdo it. Therefore I did yesterday only 2. My son needed to go to the podolog, so I searched for a couple of cache in that neighbourhood: Read more…
Yesterday afternoon started my X-mas holiday until January 5th 2009. The ideal time to do some extra hunting. I started with a cache that I’ve been looking for a week earlier. As mentioned in a previous blog, I couldn’t find it due some deviation problems with my GPSr. At least I though so. Freggie confirmed that I was indeed the right neighbourhood. So I did a second attempt as a kind of appetizer for the end of year lunch with some colleagues. Read more…
Sinterklaas (see also earlier blog) has been visiting both our place and the grand parent’s (my in-laws) home. That’s a busy WE for the kids. We went yesterday to granny and grandfather yesterday and I picked up WIP cache 2: Klaverblad Lummen GC1J8D1, a work in progress cache. As such it isn’t a difficult one – I stopped the car coincidentally within 5 meters of the cache – but it’s certainly interesting for its value. Each logger takes a picture of the long term infrastructure works in progress and at the end one gets a nice overview. Read more…
