Barontoo's Blogspot

Welcome on the webblog of Barontoo, the first Belgian blog listed as a WAYMARK. I started this blog in July 2005 in my mothertongue Dutch. But since it is listed as a Waymark I continue to write my comments in English. So take a look at it, post somewhere a comment and do not forget to log it! To do so click on the 1st link in the left frame hereunder and click then on "Visit Waymark (Post log)". Thanks!

The FKK-Event
Yesterday and today more than 150 geocachers came to the Belgian Coast for the FKK Event organised by Lucky Kesj, Geowitch and Barontoo. They were all very glad with a perfect organisation, as we could read afterwards in their logs.
It all started on Saturday morning around 9AM were we welcomed the cachers and their families with a nice cup of coffee. They all received the description of 16 new caches! But we expected them all back at 7PM for a tasteful BBQ. At 10PM they received the description ofr the night cache. Just when it started the rain began to fall. But a geocacher is not a geocacher if the rain stops him! So they all went for it and the first group arrived at 11.55PM at the cache. The last group found it at 1.40AM on Sunday morning.
The second day the rain stopped in the morning and off they went again. Looking for caches in the sand, in the dunes, in the surrounding villages ... and even the sun appeared during the day.
Just have a look at
their logs and you will see that if you were not there, you have missed something!

Revive

Today I bought a bike! Not just a ordinary bike but a Giant Revive!


I will use it most during our stays at the Belgian coast side. The same day I left home for a tour of 15 km and I was surprised how easy it is to use this bike.

It fits easily in my car and so I can take it where ever in the country to search for geocaches by bike. I am sure I will have a lot of fun on my Revive!
