Geocache: Before work at the beach

Image
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...

Geocache: In a push-fit pipe

Some caches for non native English speakers could be a challenge in an English speaking area, especially when there is a key word in the name of the geocache or in the description that is very helpful. This is what happened with me on this one, I had no clue what is a push-fit pipe, and no internet so could not search for help there. No clue means you need to look into anything that is like a pipe, or anything that is not as it might not be a pipe after all. In the pipe. It was a pipe, but I was looking into all different pipe looking object before I spotted this one about ten meters off the coordinate. Lucky for me the pathway was narrow and fence on both side so made the search area smaller. It still took me at least 15 minutes. The container. When I got the container out I was happy to see a bigger container, not to mention that I found a travel bug in it, which I picked up happily not knowing its mission which later made me find another bigger container where I could...

Geocache: Branch

This geocache is a perfect example of how to make the geocaching experience a huge fun. Creating geocaches for players that are not just a pill box, or a petling, but it is camouflaged the it is almost invisible for the unexperienced eyes. When I come across a geocache that is such well done and effort is put into creating it and finding a place to hide it where it will stay around for a longer time without being muggled, I always give a favo point for them. A professional geocache is always fun to find. This geocache is located in the United Kingdom, in Bracknell. Its a small city with many nice parks and not too many muggles, at least after working hours or on Sundays. Which made me question the demand for these parks, but maybe I was just luck to be around when others had dinner or a weekend laziness. This was one of the entrance to the Whitegrove Copse. Entrance to the park. A bigger tree fallen on the footpath and kept there, gives some cool atmosphere to the walk...
