Cranendonck

Today we went for a couple of caches in the area Cranendonck. The first was (GCX8P7 - 't Landschapspark), a multi cache in the neighbourhood of Cranendonck Castle.

It was a walk that lead us through forest and meadow area.

Brego busy with a stick or it more likely a small tree.

We passed by a police dog training club and Toby had to take a look, we joked that he wanted to become a police dog, but that he would fail the gun-test because he doesn't like the sound of a gun.

At one point we visited a garden where a beekeeper club is showing bee-related stuff to visitors.

In this garden an insect wall is created, in which wasps sleep and nestle.

And at the end the reward of finding the cache. We logged it at 15:00 as our number 90. Inside we discovered a travel express coin which we didn't take because we could not contribute to its goal.

After this nice walk we had some time left for two shorties.
The first one involved a 1 Km walk in beautiful moorland (GCTT22 - TB1:De Kraanvogel), the first of a series of 5 caches about birds with a sixth bonus cache.

In this area big cattle is walking around, we could spot the droppings but we didn't spot the cattle itself.

We discovered the cache that was hidden in a bird-cage that was locked, and we had to find the combination of the lock. We logged this one at 15:45.

And the last cache of the day was a traditional (GC1E64A - 888 The number of MADpalace en de schattige zoeker) that was a wedding present for a cache couple that married August 8, 2008 (08-08-08). It took a while to find the cache, until one of us walk around and noticed the sound of walking on top of the cache-hide. We logged it at 16:45, time to go home.
