Bierset does Cigares du Pharaon

20091120 - Another caching experience with the colleagues, together with Pat1x and Icevogelke and also 2 aspiring cachers, also colleagues : Betty and Monocle.

Perfectly organised by pat1x!! Thanks mate!! and good luck in Beauvechain!

Monocle was born today : at the first cache he broke his glasses ... and the rest- as they say- is history.




A bit of adventure at L147 - La Vieille Carriere . You dont want slip and fall into that pool!

Team Eburon rond Beek

20091121 - Enkele dagen geleden zat er een mailtje van Reyger in de bus, of ik zin had om mee te gaan cachen rond Beek. Reyger had een TB die op reis wou en hij wou hem in de cache aan de luchthaven van Beek (TRAVEL BUG AIRPORT (edition 3.0))droppen.
Zodoende was Team Eburon weer op gang vandaag.




De tofste (ik hou van stappen) was De wijngaardberg , hossen door de bossen... die wandeling hebben we vermoedelijk langer gemaakt dan nodig maar het is een toffe, heuvelachtige omgeving, a-typisch voor Nederland (dat heuvelachtig).

Dan Het Jodenkerkhof (Traditional Cache), dit is wel een erg bijzondere locatie. Die keien op de grafstenen, moet een joodse traditie zijn. Dat gaan we eens even googlen. Maar de hint ... tja, DAT hadden we wel gedacht.

En ook nog een earthcache Zand van Waterval . Er was zelfs een referentie naar Tongeren, maar dat is het verkeerde antwoord.

I cached in Kandahar

KAF meeting, 26 July
That attended log was my 199th log and K.O.D.A in the GHAN was my 200st find.
I can say "I cached in Kandahar, Afghanistan".

Caching on a military base in a war zone is not quite the same as caching at home. It is a lot more stressing as you dont want to get muggled by military police because you will have a lot of explaining to do about that hidden box. With scorpions and camel spider being part of the local fauna, putting your hand in dark nooks and crannies is also rather stressful. But its very rewarding when you do find the cache, but some required to go under the cover of darkness and "stray from the beaten path" ... I left those for my next trip.

Here's me trying to get an interesting shot for a Travel Bug ("Gänseliesel-Race" Purzelchens "RammRüpel")







And this is me at K.O.D.A in the GHAN, my 200st find, not every day I go caching with a sidearm ...
Dang wearing that floppy looks silly from this viewpoint... hey, it was pitchdark and no time to check your attire :-)
plus flashphotography attracks attention in this neighborghood.

Notice the particles of dust flairing up ...
VERY dusty.




This is at SArges Fortress of solitude, trying to get a good picture for the Ambiorix (G70) TB logs.

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.
