    Default The Coticule Diaries - part1

    Some time ago I did a 3 day hike, together with two friends, through the area were coticule is found in Belgium. We visited the last operational quarry, had a great time and learned many things about coticule. Some members have expressed an interest in our whereabouts, so, here I am, posting part 1 of our story. It requires a bit of reading, and I must ask you all to bare with my use of the English language. It's not my native language, so I guess I make many mistakes.
    Part 2 will follow shortly, and includes much more pictures than text, which, considering the above, is probably a good thing.

    Best regards,

    Bart.

    Magnificent!
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    If you make a return trip to the mines then you can put you arms over each other's shoulders, skip, and sing "follow the Belgian Blue Road, follow the Belgian Blue Road, follow follow follow follow the belgian blue road..." Bad joke . Seriously though, I really really wish that I could go on a treasure hunt with you guys; in America we don't have valuable stones laying on the ground for the pickin
