De tuin van Sinkel

Today the main cache to do was the multi-cache GCJRQF-De tuin van Sinkel. A cache where the major part is performed in a park in Eindhoven.

In this park certain statues and trees had to be found and part of the coordinates needed to be used for calculating the location of the end stash.

The sun was shining so it was a very pleasant afternoon in the park that ended with a found box at 16:10.

Time to pick up a solved mystery-cache GC1AA7F-Een spitsvondig spel) logged at 16:20.
Then on the way back home a traditional (GC1PCX8-Scouting Stratum Cache) that wasn't easy to reach the start point. My navigation system didn't quit know how to handle this. The cache was easier to find because of the wood pile on top of it, I logged it at 17:30,

And then finally the nano cache (GC1RC7R-Hiep Hiep Hoera)
close by home, I logged it at 17:50.

Week 50

This weekend we went away with our motor home, returning home this afternoon, we only had time for a short walk and visited one of the week caches, (GC1JRV8-Week 50: pad langs de velden in het bos).
The weather wasn't that great, it had rained a bit.

But nevertheless we discovered the container at 16:45.

Castricum

We went away for a weekend to the coastal area of the Netherlands near Castricum. On Saturday we wanted to walk around in the area and visited a couple of caches. The first one we could log at 15:00 was (GC1D0YR-Diervriendelijk) a mystery that we solved at home.

But the major task of today was the multi-cache (GC1CNJK-KIJK UIT, de Papenberg).

We could sit down and relax while gathering needed information.

The name on the house to which the cache is named (Kijk Uit) which means watch out.

Behind this gate is a bunker in which the famous painting "De Nachtwacht" from Rembrandt survived World War II.

These stairs brought us to the Papenberg, which gave us a nice view of the surrounding area.

At the end the boys where tired and thirsty.

The cache location discovered at 15:30.

Kleine Beerze

Last Sunday we wanted to find the cache, (GC1TNF2-Kleine Beerze Duizel), but we couldn't figure out at the start what to find. We gave up an back home we found out the half of the description was missing in my GPS. That explained why we missed out on what to find.

With the pictures we accidentally made on Sunday we could figure out the location of the next way-point and today we decided to go for it.

The two way-points we had to find contained a ingenious mechanism to show the cache info. One of us had to produce energy and the other one could read the needed information. We found the final box at 19:30.

Zwartebergen

Having to sit inside for the whole day and considering the long summer evening in front of us, we decided to go for the cache (GC19NNY-Een rondje Zwartebergen), we tried to walk this one earlier but we didn't bring the photo's that we needed for this cache then, so we had to come back. Today was the day.

We had to find some tags here and there.

We walked in a beautiful area.

And could even say a prayer at a small chapel.

Walked in forest area.

And in marsh area.

And at the end we were able to combine all the found information to find the final box, we succeeded and logged at 21:50.

Mysterious Past

During a long lunch break I walked the cache GCA36C-Mysterieus verleden / Mysterious past.
A cache where you have to visit different way-points where several questions have to be answered but it not exactly given which question belongs to each point. And multiple questions could belong to multiple way-points. But after visiting all points is should be clear.

Because at some of the way-points only one question fits.

Each question was only used ones.

After visiting all the points I could come up with the cache location, my first guess.

And this was the correct location, although I had a 20 meter difference on the GPS I found the box and logged at 14:20, time to return to work.

De Cachebus

We figured out a route on which a series of caches is hidden, the first one (GC12MYQ-Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe - 2) logged at 12:45.
The second (GC12MYR-Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe - 3) at 12:50.
The third (GC12MYT-Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe - 4) at 13:00.
And the fourth (GC12MYV-Dat gaat naar Den Bosch toe - 5) at 13:10.
That was the first part of this series, we will come back another time for the other half.
Then we wanted to uncover the solved mystery cache (GCQR5Q-Coördinaat puzzel), that was hidden in a tree stump.

We added our name in the logbook at 13:15.

Then we logged the cache (GC1ERKD-GEOCACHE TEAM QUIZ) at 13:40.

And the the actual goal of today the cache (GCR1VG-De Cachebus), a mystery that we looked at over and over and couldn't figure out how to solve, until while talking about it with another cacher got an idea on how to solve it and that was a correct thought.

We found the final stash box with the color purple at 15:00.

Then on the way back to the car we picked up (GCGHZP-Jagershagen 2) at 15:15.

And driving home we passed by the cache (GCV4DN-GeenJapansePuzzel), also a mystery that we solved at home.

Hidden near a small river that we logged at 16:10.
