Number 100: Pilgrimage Cache 2

After yesterday our cache counter showed 99 caches found, and therefore it was time for a special cache that would become our 100th cache. We picked the sequel to the one we found as 50th (GC101C4 - Bedevaartcache 2 - De Keurmeesters).

We started earlier than what's normal for us on a Sunday, but not as early as other people start to cache. We arrived at the start somewhat before 11:30.

For the first part we had to use pictures to find the way through a "maze" to reach the start of the first out of four different challenges we had to pass.

The challenge here was that the pictures were made the other way around and in another time of year.

But we managed to find the start of the first challenge although we didn't use all of the pictures.

So either we took a short-cut that we aren't aware of, or we missed to recognize some of the spots from the pictures while we passed them.

It was a very nice forest area that we were strolling around.

And the weather was good as well, a little bit chilly but dry and with a nice winter sun shining on our faces.

At some points we had to find a tag on a tree, to be able to find the information to continue to the next point.

We don't want to give away to much detail, since that would ruin the fun for future cachers.

One of the challenges we had to pass, asked a lot about our navigation skills and the knowledge of our GPS. I tried stuff that I didn't even know was possible with our GPS, but it brought us correct from point to point.

We passed a little sluice, and when the dogs hear water flowing they always get a little crazy.

Toby kept on barking at this point, later on we discovered why. What a good boy he is indeed.

And being a pilgrimage, we could say a prayer before Mary.

And at the end the reward of the cache. We left the first coin of ours, SchocoBearsFirst.

We logged it at 16:40 as our number 100 inside we found a TB.

We left two coins behind.
