Ruhr Talk lips and my first Terracoin

Today I had left the weather indirectly down: it was announced for the whole day of rain and bad weather, it was the morning sunshine. So I wake up spontaneously after a determined search for Terra cache - for a little back and forth was my choice to "Watch Talk lips" (TCCUH), a cache in Dortmund-Syburg.

The path to the first station from the bus stop "Syburg" was not entirely trivial: I am going wrong, which, however, emerged partly as a stroke of luck: the wrong way led to former time tunnels of a mine under the Hohensyburg over (see photo), and the detour route compensated for almost 2 kilometers :-) Then I crossed a road, gritted my teeth and on the other side of the mountain gorge hochgekraxelt across country. After 1000 meters in altitude chill, out of breath and with aching calves I've finally reached the starting point.

Then the way was very nice - on small forest tract (see photos) to a very spectacular vantage point (see photo, but unfortunately it was a bit foggy, so the photo of the view was not fair), past Nobel Villas ( see photo) - no wonder the beautiful location!

The stations were all very easy to find the cache and then finally I had rather quickly in his hands.
there waiting for me another surprise: in the cache itself pocketed w extra bonus, almost the equivalent of a travel bug ("Travelling Terracoin" TC7XN, see photo of Coins)! Unfortunately, I had forgotten my pen at home and in the cache, nothing was found - fortunately I after a few minutes reminded that my pocket knife includes a kind Notkugelschreiber and so I was able to log in yet (although with very spidery script).

When I was back then, it has been raining properly - the day I used good Terra found two caches and after the rather disappointing Dutch caches again made a really good :-)

A Shake Like The Isalean Shake

Terracaching Tour Netherlands, the last part

After the disappointing "NHW reeks 17: batteria onder Poederoijen" it was already afternoon and we had just time for a cache, we decided as a conclusion of the tour for "Sub Rosa" (TC74L), a relatively well-rated puzzle cache.

The (very original) puzzle I had solved the day before, so just store the coordinates of the final in the iQue, which can be expected route and off we went.

the way to the cache had a tangible Surprise ready for us: I've been wondering why we were guided by a cross there until suddenly the voice was heard from the iQue: "Driving in 350-meter vessel". And indeed, the fastest way to the cache led to the ferry "Brakel - Herwijnen" (see here ). The ferry was ready, we could go directly to the car on board (such as the iQue demanded of us). Somehow it is a very strange feeling to sit in the car while turning the ferry - it's hard to describe it is as if you are in a drive-in theater and the surrounding area would be a movie. After all, the ferry is the correct way, according iQue down:-D

On land us the iQue piloted on a dirt road, this was again the completeness of the map a little problem: we are at the grove then drove around were until we find a suitable parking place.

The cache was in principle in a very beautiful wood (see photo), but unfortunately we have become, despite a long search proved unsuccessful - the cache is probably stolen, which confirms the Owner upon request, unfortunately.

then went home.

Conclusion: Although we have found four caches Terra, we were a little unsatisfied - the quality was sometimes left to be desired, the only highlights of the tour was the sand cache and the ferry. Well, at least there was good points for it, but we prefer rather nice caches as cache statistics. For caches, the caches had been on average, for Terra caches (with the exception of the sand cache) rather the opposite.

Next we went to ' NHW reeks 17: batteria onder Poederoijen (TC2AE) where a further oddity was waiting for us: the starting point was the starting point of another cache in the series, namely "NHW reeks 19 ". This led to the strange conclusion that I have on my iQue data from 19 had loaded, and Michako Aljha but the expression of had 17 it. Both were multi-caches (the launch station was virtually identical ) also largely identical routing, so we have tried to simply make both parallel.

I do not know what to make of it, hiding almost two multi-caches in the same place with an almost identical line - this looks to me like it, as would whether someone as possible to hide many Terra cache, which really is not the intention - Terra caches are supposed to be special quality caches and no assembly line work.

The first stations were found quite good, the road led to a typical small farm in Holland with pot-bellied pigs, miniature ponies and sheep over (see photo). After that, the quality of the trail went downhill: the direct path led through the private grounds of a nursery, we have relatively quickly aborted this way (which was also good - this way would have led to nothing).

Therefore, it was a road long. Although this was not a main road, it was neat to have traffic and no sidewalk - we had to run partly on the road. Later, the two quasi forked ways parallels the cache: the station of "my" Cache (19) showed on a dyke (which I have found no way to enter it legal) while the other cache (17) showed the direction of progress.

This time we could look at the fort itself from the nearby (see photo), including old toilet (see photo). At the fort were some horses around (see photo). The job there was a bit strange, but we have yet solved properly.

Back it went back on the same road all the way to the last station that was no great difficulty.

The Final itself was hidden pretty original, and here again the same trouble as before was: Cache container glass .

Another cache statistics: although the fort itself was not without interest, was the way there and back my opinions g after a disaster, and deductions and the container made of glass.

Finally we went to the last cache, plus more to come.

Canned Chicken Broth Experation Date

Terracaching Tour Netherlands, part 3

have very sandy cache after we made our way to ' NHW reeks 1, continuous casting (TC7W4). As the name suggests, this is part of a cache Terracaching series.

If I understand the translation correctly, it is this is an old line of defense up to 85km long and up to 3km wide was. At this line, among other things forts were built, the addition could be secured by flooding through a system of irrigation canals and locks. In itself, that is quite interesting places, unfortunately, the two caches, which not really fair.

We arrived at the starting point of this multi-caches, where it showed the first offense: (!) We had a small metal plate that was attached under a pedestrian bridge to find the final coordinates to be calculated. The bridge itself was on top of all on a busy street, so it was impossible to actually drive to the unobserved find - that culminated in us an old Dutchman (who lived there) has given hints, where the part is found, he later came across the street and talked to us. Unfortunately, he seemed neither German nor English speaking.

After we finally found the plate (and have calculated the correct coordinates, I had exchanged the original two numbers), we went to the final. The final was on his way even more of a disappointment: the actual fort was not accessible, so that the road to the ditch (almost a lake), which was enclosed the fort.

the cache itself, we have then found quickly, he was hidden was relatively open and the container on top from glass ! Actually, everyone should be clear Cacher why glass containers are taboo: it's not really funny, when in hiding herumgrabbelt and possibly packaged in tatters.

Very well, again a statistics cache. Was a bit more interesting, the next cache in the series, more on that later.

Terracaching Tour Netherlands, Part 2

After - more moderate - Webcam Cache we went to "Water Brabantse water" (TCCLV). The area seems to be a popular picnic spot, where it had a pretty big picnic area and many walkers.

led the way to the cache by a nice area of forest (See photo) to the real surprise: a green oßem sandy area in the forest! The area had a bit of desert, sort of bizarre (see photos).

After crossing the desert, we then get to the location of the cache, here waiting for a real challenge to us, bury the container was in the sand in about half a meter deep (see photo), fortunately had in wise anticipation Aljha and Michakos Sun well as Nordic Walking poles also Handschippchen there - since I do not have such exotic equipment, the two poked in the sand and then dug up the cache.

Although I'm generally not a fan of buried Containers am (strictly speaking, the various rules is contrary to the geocaching), so I make an exception:

• The cache was and sand buried, so that was not a natural destroyed when digging
• The place itself was quite obvious, so that Michako and Aljha short Z had to poke ince.

Because of the beautiful, original place I had evaluated the Terra cache so very good - unfortunately it was the last (and only) good Terra cache remain on the tour.

Stay tuned to other caches.

Terracaching Tour Netherlands, Part 1

Yesterday, Michako, Aljha Terra Ching and I have a tour in the southern Netherlands made. The result was somewhat mixed: on the one hand, we have found four Terra caches, on the other hand, we were not in a cache successfully - and the quality of the Terra caches (where the actually paid close attention) was also partly doubtful, to put it kindly times express.

First we went to ' WayPoint Zuid ( TC9ZJ ), a webcam cache: the job was to set a picture of the webcam from the cache. The webcam itself was in a Garmin business in a Dutch village, and the task we have then - thanks to outside help - solved relatively easily, just 5 minutes in the field of view of the webcam are :-) (See photo)

I myself found this cache rather uninteresting (to turn it politely), neither the place nor the business was particularly original, apart from the fact that it is a GPS store. Accordingly, I have also evaluated the cache.

Good, were points - containing a typical cache statistics. Much more interesting, however, the next cache was this more soon.

main cemetery Dortmund

And once hid a cache Terra - this time at the main cemetery in Dortmund.

The main cemetery is the largest green area of the city with about 135 hectares and is almost twice as large as the Westfalen Park.

He is also more of a park with beautiful old trees, including wetlands on the site :-) (see photos)

the cache itself, I have - out of respect for the place - hidden outside, where the right place during or after rain muddy is, I can confirm two caches that have already found it, :-)

Tomorrow we go to the Grand Tour with Terra cache Ahlja and Michako to Holland, let's see, the weather seems to be good.
