Smokkelroute

Today we selected a series of 12 traditionals with a 13th cache as bonus.
This series is called "Smokkelroute" which can be translated with smuggling route. It is an official bicycle route and along the way you can find caches at interesting spots. We couldn't do this series with our bikes, so we decided to take the car and use our feet as much as possible.
This is the order that we visited the caches and the time that we logged them.
GC1TQR0-smokkelroute 8: IJslandse pony's, 13:00

There are some pony's grazing here, but today not spotted by us.

GC1TQR1-smokkelroute 9: Vogelkijkhut "het Goor", 13:25

This cache was hidden near a bird-spotting shack.

GC1T5GH-smokkelroute 7: Oorlogsmonument Gastel, 14:00

Hidden near a memorial statue for three English soldiers that died here in 1944.

GC1RF7D-smokkelroute 6: Kapel Sint Cornelius, 14:10

GC1RGEQ-smokkelroute 10: Kasteel Cranendonck, 14:20

GC1T5FQ-smokkelroute 11: Bijen- en bloementuin De Immenhof, 14:35

Hidden in a garden with a lot of information about bees and flowers.

GC1TQR3-smokkelroute 3: Kantine Zinkfabriek, 14:55

GC1RGFA-smokkelroute 4: Gevangenis Dorplein, 15:00

Hidden near an old prison. Where the smugglers were locked in when they got caught.

GC1T2TM-smokkelroute 5: Douanepaal van de admiraliteit, 15:15

Near an old border pole.

GC1TQQZ-smokkelroute 2: Molen Zeldenrust, 15:25

Hidden near a mill, that was turning when we visited.

GC1RJ2K-smokkelroute 1: Schepenhuis, 15:40

Hidden at a busy point in the village centre. We first didn't realize that is was a nano, so we searched and searched, once we figured out about the size of the cache we almost immediately spotted it.

GC1T5G3-smokkelroute 12: Monument Dr. Anton Mathijsen, 16:00

Hidden at a monument for Dr. Anton Mathijsen, who discovered the plaster bandage that us used to heal bone fractures.

GC1X2VJ-smokkelroute 13: de bonus, 16:30

So with the completion of this cache we realized a new maximum caches in one day record, being 13 caches.
