Night caching

We are still figuring out the details of geo-caching. A couple of km's of our home a night cache (GC1BKWM - Schat der Tempeliers) is hidden and we decided to finish the day with the experience of this type of cache.
Armed with a flash-light we arrived at the spot, and tried to find the first reflectors. Once we discovered them and we knew where and what to look for we started the walk. Without the flash-light turned on it was rather dark in the forest. We followed the track and at a certain point we found the location of a coin that was hidden there.

The coin itself was not there anymore but a label with the track-number was so that we could log the discovery.

We continued the track and at one point Toby lead the way, he exactly followed the correct track amazingly we didn't need the reflectors at all, of course we did check the correct path. But when we left the thick forest we arrived at the last reflector we could find we couldn't find any others. So the end of our hunt, no cache either.

So we have to come back on another night to discover where we took the wrong turn and to finish this cache. We for sure do not mind to walk this again, because it was a very nice experience.
