I’ve seen this WE two nice examples on how diverse geocaching can be, even if speak about the same type of caches.
Freggie was on the verge to be a kilocacher, but a partnership called “The conspiracy” made sure that this became a lengthy process which he’ll remember for a (hopefully long) while.
Today was one of these gloomy days and the wife didn’t want to do a cache in the rain, even if it was a letterbox cache. Instead we went to visit the Africa museum in Tervuren which isn’t that far away from home. It has been somewhat 15 years ago that I’ve visited it. The museum is doing their best to cast off their musty image and it shows.
Today started a week holiday. The kids have no school the following week and I ‘volunteered’ to entertain them. That means that not a lot of gecaching will happen. Not that they don’t like it, but I needs to be short without a lot of hiking and in good weather conditions. Maybe I can persuade them to tackle a small multi with a cinema visit as reward.
I frequently visit Hasselt, the capital of taste, for several reasons. Read more…
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…
There are a certain type of cache where you know were you should be and don’t know how to get there. A perfect example is wie,hoe,wat…? GCVZ84 in the ancient gates of military ramparts. When you look at the log, you see that many people has found adventurous ways to find the access to the place. I’m not so adventurous and I wanted to take a alternative path I accidentally found. I happened to be rather slippery too and a small misstep would let me end in the water. Luckily it didn’t happen and I ended up at the large gate whereas others usually end up at the other side of the rampart. So far so good, but when I opened the gate, it was rather dark, a lot of waste (how does it come here) and even graffiti. Real spooky. So I took my wind up LED torch -I try to be as environmental friendly as possible – and started to search. This ended up in a disaster. This type of torches are completely useless in such an environment. Since I’m not a shining example (sorry for the pun) of bravery, I gave up rather quickly. Read more…
