Quelle aventure


An Earthcache, 2 boat caches, 2 confluences and a big milestone!
We started the day at the beach. It was a fair walk across the sand dune to the Earthcache but the sun was already blazing down on us and the cool sea water was refreshing. We got within 90 meters of the reference point in order to log the cache. After this we had to prepare the boat. The next two caches were on a lake but neither were reachable on foot. We had some fun sailing around the shore to the first one then we had to set sail for an island to log the second. We were still trying to get the numbers up for our next big milestone so while heading East we picked up a cache at N45, W1. This was the first confluence visit of the day for us. After logging a few more caches at Jalles we made our way to the Winery to log our 2000th find. We had spent the last two days setting this one up, with 39 Châteaux and 3 bonus caches to find in order to get the clues for this, the final of the series "Les Specialists". So we logged our find at around 18.00 making 2000 finds for team Geoscouts! Later we called at N45, E0 to log our second confluence of the day.

Earthcache

Geoscouts' first Earthcache is now live
If you find yourself in the South of France, maybe on your way down to Spain you can make a bit of a detour and discover our Earthcache. The mountain is well known by some for it's strange dis-ordered strata. Visiting the related webpage will explain all about this mysterious peak and the enigmas attached to it.

Could this be the place to be when the world ends in December?
