Back in Belgium

Got home 2 weeks ago from a brief adventure and havent done any caching since. We headed out to Hoeselt last week for the new multi and loads of trads but on the way the car started acting up and we turned back home. a few days alter we had it towed to the mechanic who had an expensive sounding diagnose for us : turbo dead, catalyst (?) dead ... ouch

Anyway, today we went for a walk in De Kevie. I placed a new container and logbook in Kevie 2 : Naald in een ... uhm? and in Kevie 1 : Groot Meers v1.1 I dropped a coin (Black-Veined Butterfly Geocoin) I retrieved from a cache in Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.

This coin has moved 10569.1km in 3 cache moves ...
how fast is that!!!

The car should be back this week, fingers crossed...

For once it is about the numbers.

For once it is about the numbers or rather one number : 200.
In an attempt to get the numbers up to 199 finds by wednessday we've been hunting some traditionals nearby home.
Got 7 out 7 today, 4 more to go. If all goes well the 200th find will be somewhat out of the ordinary.

All of todays caches are really enjoyable ones either by location, history, view or even a mix of those factors -no boring drive-by caching.
The "fotoalbum cache" (Laat je zien ! - Show yourself ! Traditional Cache) stands out by its setup whereas (Burchtruïne Kolmont (Traditional Cache) stands out by its construction all the others have a mix of location and/or history going for them.

MESA : 31km march, next friday

Friday I'll be attempting my first march over 30kms. No caching, just marching during one of the four days of the MESA : Marche Européenne du Souvenir.
On friday it will be the Houffalize circuit, which is one of the harder bits.

Bit worried my boots arent evacuating the sweat quick enuff resulting in sore skin/blisters on my feet.

Weather isnt going to help either.

June 21 by Guinness70 (176 found)
BRILLIANT !
Yveguy tells most of the Tournée Générale day. It was BRILLIANT!! 27km walk in the woods ... and that less then 5km from Charleroi? AMAZING!

See that word "challenge" in the title... there is a reason for it! believe me! it was not a walk in the park.
I had a great day with Alouatta, Yveguy, Eburonian26 and SpiceIt, thanks fellas!!!
big thanks to Alouatta for the excellent and flawless admin!! Thanks to Spiceit for keeping us focussed! And Eburonian, you were right it is AxB Yveguy big thank you for keeping up the spirit(s) for us.

RESPECT!
