To most of you I might live a rather boring life stuck in daily routines. I won’t deny this.
The geoaching WE started off on Friday. We have a yearly tradition to celebrate spring with some company veterans.
An ex-colleague of mine was interested in geocaching and we agreed to do one together some day. I took Dijleland 1 : Arenberg GCKX21 close to work as a perfect example what geocaching is all about.
This week of school holiday isn’t as calm on the geocaching front as I expected. I dropped the son at a playfellow yesterday. It was a bit strange though. Normally, he doesn’t enjoy shopping at all and disappears towards the comics corner and I have always to search for him when I’ve finished shopping. Yesterday, his friend asked him if he would join a ‘trip’ to a well know Swedish furniture store. My son seems to have enjoyed it as well.
My geoaching WE started Friday rather scary. I wanted to tackle Missiehuis GC1MFX8, yet another fine cache from Freggie. Read more…
I frequently visit Hasselt, the capital of taste, for several reasons. Read more…
Jshults is the guy who let me discover new scripts that makes geocaching much easier. In an earlier blog, I mentioned that he tweeted about the GC Tour script (which I use frequently now). Now he tweets about the Advanced Nuvi Macro.
This continuation of freezing temperatures and snow is not my cup of tea. The temperatures didn’t exceed freezing point for more than 15 days now. Maybe I wasn’t that weather conscious before, but I can’t remember that it has been so cold for quite a long time now. It’s about time that this comes to an end and more reasonable temperatures are in place.
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 Friday, thus nearly a geocaching WE. In order to get in the mood, I try to do discover a geocache near work during lunch time. Today, I searched Trainspotting 5 : L139 in Oud-Heverlee GC1AJXP, a cache near a railway mostly used for goods/freight train traffic. When those trains roar by at work, one can’t say anything understandable anymore. Anyway, after a steady walk, I discovered the stash rather easily, based on the additional hint. For some odd reason the last 20 meters had a lot of deviation (due to the trees?). I had the same problem last Wednesday. After I got rid of my braces at the orthodontist late in the evening, I didn’t want to go home immediately and wanted to do a quick cache nearby. But it took at least 10 minutes before I got any signal on my GPSr and the projection I did, pointed to a place that certainly wasn’t correct. After a couple of tries, I gave up. Better luck next time. Read more…
