Steensels Gang of Robbers

Our niece and nephew are staying at us for the weekend, and they wanted to go on a treasure hunt with us. We picked out a cache with an exciting story of a gang of robbers near the village Steensel (GC162Q8 - Bende van Steensel).
This week it snowed a lot so we were not certain that we would be able to find any of the waypoints, but we wanted to take a shot and see how far we could get.
This is the whole team except me at the beginning of the hunt, near the parking.

We had to find waypoints, where a little bucket was hidden which contained a paper that told a little bit more about the hunt and what we had to do next.

Sometimes we had to solve a little puzzle or something else.

The dogs also enjoyed the trip, because of the snow, and the cold sunny weather.
Here you can see Brego.

And here is Toby.

Here Mila is holding a box that we had to unlock.

The bears lead the way.

We had to walk through forest, and with the snow everywhere this gave beautiful pictures.

With the sun out there again a very nice environment to walk in.

Almost at the cache we got a clue that we were right, because the location was a little bit strange.

The cache-box, we logged at 15:30 as our number 88.

Tommy and Mila happy with their just discovered treasures.

Inside the cache box we found three coins that we exchanged with the two coins and one TB that we brought with us.
Next two of the coins we discovered.


And with this cache we earned the next banner:
