Lauwersoog

We are staying at a camping site in Lauwersoog and in the neighbourhood only one (young) cache (GC1FZY1 - Orchid Defense) is hidden. Only three cachers were able to discover it, and a lot didn't find it, so for us a challenge. It is a multi-cache that takes about a 7 KM walk. We had to walk about 800 meters from the camping-site to the start so that would make the total of 8.5 Km's without making mistakes.
It was a cold but very sunny day, and here we are at the start of the walk.

We had to walk from way-point to way-point, through a very nice area, with a lot of water that was frozen today.

One way-point was at a watching tower where we had to find dices but we didn't find them here.

Here the dogs are searching for water while we are searching for way-points.

A nice bench to take a break. The way-point that was next was the last one, we needed to find it, because it should give us the formula to the final cache location. We searched for almost half an hour for that way-point. What a good feeling to find it after we almost decided to quit.

And as a reward the final cache. Which we had to search also for almost half an hour, but we found it and logged it at 17:00.

Inside the cache we discovered two TB's and we exchanged them with two TB's we brought with us.
