Description   

The cache is hidden in a side-valley of the Sécheval, the Dry Valley, a valley without surface water.
The ground is so water permeable that every water disappears in the subsoil.
After more than 24 hours the water reaches the huge grotto of Remouchamps and flows from there into the river.
The vanishing water often makes a singing noise that’s why these places are called Chantoirs.

To avoid problems with barking or sleeping dogs we suggest you to park your car at N 50° 30.015 E 005° 42.900.
The lower part of the track (that leads you to the cache without passing the dogs' farm) is even much more idyllic.

The cache is hidden before you reach the Chantoir "Trou Le Coq" at N 50°30.172, E 05°43.022.
The cache is a blue Tupperware-style box.

The New Life Outdoor Activity Centre gives the geocachers permission to search for the cache, but of course the cachers are NOT allowed to enter the grotto.
If you are interested in a visit to the grotto, please inform yourself on www.newlife.be.

New Life Outdoor Activity Centre vous donne la permission de chercher la cache sur le site du Chantoir.
Il ne vous est cependant pas permis de visiter la grotte sans guide. Si cette visite vous intéresse, veuillez contacter www.newlife.be.
Le respect de cette règle permettra de conserver cette cache. Merci de votre compréhension.

Found 01 November 2007 vampirhummel found the geocache

Today we took our first stroll to this interesting place. It was really interesting to see how the water vanishes and by the way, we also had some exercise for later on how to climb steep paths that are wet and muddy We enjoyed this one!

NT + TFTC!
