Valentines Day

I planned a night cache for us to do on Valentines Day Evening.
But because the bears need to walk also during daylight we decided to do the last two remaining of a series of 7 short caches near chapels.
At the first location we first did a mystery cache (GC1F074 - Het halve werk is een goed begin) One half of the coordinate I could calculate from home for the other half we had to find some answers nearby the chapel. Once we got all the answers we could go to our calculated cache location to discover the cache container. We logged it at 12:20 as our # 119.

We traded a TB with the next TB.

Then we went for the multi-cache near that started at the chapel as well (GC1DCKH - POK - Vessem).

For this one we had to walk a spiderweb route through a forest that brought us to 3 different locations where we had to find a tag with a number on it.
With these three numbers we could calculate the final coordinates, we found it and logged it at 13:20.

Then on to the next chapel cache (GC1DB1M - POK - Zandoerle). The chapel is located in a very old market place of a small historical village.
Here the sign that explains this all.

The cache container that we discovered at 14:15.

The logbook where we wrote our name.

With the information gathered at the seven chapels we could calculate the coordinates of the bonus cache of this series (GCN9QR - POK - Langs 's Heeren Wegen) and what seamed to be the case. This cache wasn't to far from the current location, so went for this one also.

We logged it at 14:30 as our number 122.

Inside we discovered two TB's and one coin, that we exchanged with some TB's that we brought with us.

Than when it was dark it up to the night-cache but first we had to pick-up a traditional nearby the night cache that will be archived real soon, so had to pick that up whilst still possible. (GCNNGQ - Carpooling cache), for this one we had to make a photograph with at least two people on it, this wasn't easy to do in the dark. But we managed to do that we logged at 18:50. Inside a micro-coin was hidden that we took with us.

Then we started with our night cache adventure. On the parking lot a couple of cars were already present. It was a great tour, that brought us to very well figured out way-points. While walking around for this cache we passed by two other caches. The (GCZVGK - d'n Unent renewed 3) which we logged at 21:00.

And the cache (GC12AA7 - Zwaluwsestraat) that we logged at 23:30 as our number 125.

It was really a lot of fun, but at a certain point we were tired and cold and weren't sure that we on the right track, it was already Sunday, and we decided to drive home, get warm and come back another time.
