Travelbugs and coins owned

The Backpacker (174.000 km)
This travelbug is attached to my backpack. De tag is a good way of meeting other caches as they will recognise the tag. Additionaly this bug is checked in and checked out with every cache-find so I can trace the distance travelled while caching.
Tom Tom Tag (469 km)
This travelbug was placed on the 9th of August 2006 in the Netherlands. However quite soon it ended up in a cache which was ripped and therefore this bug is no longer active.
The Flying Dutchman (18.000 km)
This travelbug was supposed to travel to the Far East and was therefore placed at a TB Hotel near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. After nearly 16,000 km this bug ended up in Key West, USA and was later presumed to be ripped. However in April 2008 this bug was suddenly live again and is now travelling the USA.
Vegas or bust (103 km)
This travelbug, a casino chip is supposed to travel to Las Vegas to have its picture taken in front of Ceasar's Palace. On the 10th of February 2007 this bug started its journey in the cache Deepest Blue.
Monkey Business (1815 km)
This travelbug, a small monkey, would like to visit zoo's and ultimately travel to the dark continent Africa. The monkey has been released on 9th February 2007.
In Memoriam Reintje Geocoin.(544 km)
A coin in memory of Reintje de Vos who died very sudden in 2007. Reintje has been of great significance to the Dutch geocaching community, especially in the development of the website www.geocaching.nl. The proceeds for this coin will be donated to charity, so naturally Boswijk Posse also order a coin. This coin is travelling from cache to cache and is now in Germany.
Ozzie 2007 and Ozzie coin (386 & 6546 km)
Boswijk Posse has a soft spot for Australia and its inhabitants and therefore launched two Australia coins with the aim to travel to the land Down Under. The first coin was released in the Netherlands in May 2007 and has not left the country yet. The second coin was released in August 2007 in the United Arab Emirates and is now in the United Kingdom.
Boswijk Posse's Liwa StarGeezer (10.476 km)
Boswijk Posse found a non-activated geocoin in a cache in Dubai. I then dropped it in the Singapore jungle. At present, the coin has returned to Europe.

 

My special cache list

Longest distance

Waar? Daar!: Meijendel (GCPKX6)
A beautiful hike of 19 kilometer through the Dutch dunes and on the beach in the area between Meijendel en Scheveningen. This cache was done with a large group of fellow caches as a result of a geo-dating topic on the Dutch Geocaching forum.

Most difficult terrain

Worgl - Wehrburg (GCR25F)
I did this cache while on vacation in Austria. Straigh line distance was a mere 200 meters however it was a ridiculous uphill climb without any trail or footpath.

Most difficult unknown cache (puzzle)

To be added

Nice cache for children

Fun Toys (GCG1VV)
A child-friendly cache should not be too long and should contain some nice goodies. When I logged this cache (my second) this cache a great collection of tradable goodies.

Furthest cache (excluding armchair caches):

Southern most tip of Asia(GC6097)
At 10.525 km from my home base, this cache is a virtual on the most Southern tip of continental Asia. This point is on Sentosa Island in Singapore.

Adventurous:

The two caches Wie durft (GCHF9A) and Dragon Departure (GCGJTG)
These caches are only a hundred meter apart but each the caches requires quite a physical exercise. Perticularly in summer and/or high tide there will be an added funfactor for these caches.
