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…
After the caching raid last monday, this WE seems rather slow geocaching wise. But there some ‘extenuating circumstances’ which I can as excuse. First of all, I had to go to hospital for a checkup after a surgery nearly 2 years ago. My lower jaw was unlinked and reconstructed for orthodontic reasons. I guess the surgeon wanted to know if his masterwork was still in one piece. I knew that I had some time left before it was my turn – I had an appointment at 5:45PM and I was still there at 8PM – , so I decided to discover a couple of cashes on my way to the hospital.

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.
Today was the big day. I wanted to achieve two things: getting my 100th find and breaking a day record. In order to achieve this, I mapped a route out of 20 caches in the French speaking (aka Walloon) part of Belgium. But things didn’t start as expected. 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…
Here might be something nice and useful for those of you using Firefox for visiting the geocaching.com and want to see their geocaching management a bit less tedious.
It’s official: a Palm Z22 sucks when it comes to complete paperless caching. It’s ok for what cachemate covers, but when it comes to paperless spoilers, it’s pretty useless. I was doing the “De andere Bron” GCK1HD multicache and everything went smoothly on this nice walk. That was until it was time to discover the stash itself. I had a bit of deviation in the wood and thus I needed to rely on the spoiler. As you can see below, there a lot of trees on the picture. Read more…
It’s official: spoilers on a Z22 sucks. It might work for small pics without much details, but larger photos where details matter are useless on this device. The result is that I was yesterday at the final stage of this beautiful multi and I stood there completely clueless. The wood made the pointer showing everywhere and all I remembered from the spoiler on line was that it was near a tree. But in a wood… I have to try my luck a next time. Read more…
It has been a week full of pottering around. As mentioned in a previous blog, I started with paperless caching. I finally got used of this (somewhat tedious, compared to simply printing out stuff) way of working, so I though it would be time to do put the spoiler pics on my Z22 too.
