Fill the matrix: 2018-03-12 & DNF

Let me start my new randomly posted information with some stories around the updates. First of all it is jsut sharing some of the matrix data available online for you to see statistics about your geocaching adventure. I won't post all the details, what I will do is put some of the matrixes up on a post with some explanation and guides how to fill them (which is obvious) and how to find what to find. Singapore, at one of the beaches Now take a look at the above photo. I was there and the only reason I ended up there was a geocache. Did I find it? Nope. Was I sad? Nope. Why? Just look at the view. That is what made this search a good memory at the end. Ok, before I get to the full story let me show you the matrix this whole location was about. D/T matrix Yes the famous Difficulty / Terrain matrix or the 81 matrix or some just call it the nightmare. What is this matrix all about? If you are playing geocaching for a while you already know that each geocache h...

Geocache: Close to the beach

On a very cold weekend what is the best place to visit? Of course the beach, especially if you want to find a geocache as well. There are multiple beaches along the coast of the Netherlands the one at Hoek van Holland is the closest to our house so that is where we went for a walk. Hiding in view As my Dutch is not the best at least my vocabulary is not the biggest possible we arrived close to the hiding spot and searched for a few minutes tried to look up the hint in a dictionary but no result, so we decided to google for images with the name, and then this came up. I had to realize I have no clue how it is called in English. The hint was pointing on these objects Besides figuring out what the hint said it was also a challenge to get to them as they are standing in a roundabout at a busy one to make it easy. Such locations you really do not want to or most probably cannot do in summer when it is even busier. If you need to wait till you can get out of the roundabout ...

Geocache: Before work at the beach

It is always fun to search for a geocache at locations where the view is just amazing. This time I was in Singapore for business. I had some time before I could start working and lucky for me there was a geocache at the beach walking distance from the warehouse. Hiding in the tree I walked to the location and as you can see above it was not much search to find the geocache, just in the tree really visible. I was more surprised that it was still there. The only people I saw at that time of the day at the beach were the people cleaning the beach, collecting the rubbish from all over. I was also wondering why didn't they remove this as it is really just lays there. The geocache container A tiny container but lots of fun to find it... or not? I do not mind to find geocaches easy, I also do not mind to put extra effort in finding a geocache. From country to country there are typical ways of hiding geocaches and of course each geocacher has his/her preferred way of hiding. I...
