Qframe weekend, slightly reworked

To start the life-blogging, I thought I'd start with the piece that got me started, slightly reworked to fit mirror talk.

The Qframe weekend has become a tradition at work, every year a part of the Qframe team, loaded with suitcases, snacks and beverages, loads into several cars to spend a weekend in not to far away locations. This time the area of Durbuy and the weekend from 27 to 29 march was our goal.

On Friday, we started by arriving between 18 and 19h in Kontich at our company's headquarters, with the plan to leave one full car at a time whenever enough people had arrived to fill one. On the other end of the ride, every group of new arrivals at the chalet (Le Bois des Rèves in Borlon, Durbuy) seemed to be impressed by the excellent accommodations, which also seems to be turning into a tradition. This time we could enjoy from an extensive vacation house, which was heavily restaurated with different bath- and bedrooms and an extensive kitchen, much more interesting however seemed to be the living rooms with a billiard, table football and several long tables for games, which every evening would be in use up to the early hours of the morning.

The 'pizza hut before departing' tradition had to be broken due to organizational reasons, so instead this was made up by sponsoring the local fries seller. Once everyone was full, the games began. Chapeau seemed to be the favorite this year, unlike gold seeker and where wolves from last year.

The following morning bigger adventure was on the horizon, after an extensive breakfast and a short traffic jam at the douches we headed to Durbuy Adventure, there we would be climbing across the rope course in the morning, followed by a mountain bike treasure search in the afternoon. Except for some short rain showers, the sun was also present, so I'm sure that everyone was exhausted but satisfied by the time we crawled back into the cars, ready to (after some refreshing) dive into the Durbuy nightlife, or at least to dine extensively in Côté Cour.

The mood was once again excellent this year, so after the usual nightly snacks and games for the night owls, it was already halfway to noon when we started breakfast the following day. Since it was the last day some of us really wanted to try out that Jacuzzi, unfortunately with limited success. So onwards to some bow shooting, the activity planned for Sunday, once again with Durbuy Adventure. Once there our big group was split up in two groups and it was remarkable how one group focused heavily on the point count and the competitive side while the other group was way more relaxed, shooting just for fun, once again a proof of the diverse characters at Qframe I suppose.

After a short sidetrack past the treasure chest (filled with carabiners) to finish the previous days treasure search, we finally headed back to the chalet to pack and return home again.
