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.
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.

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…
