Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As an owner of several geocaches, it is my duty to maintain them every now and then, so yesterday I went out in the rain to visit a few of my boxes dotted around the local countryside. The first was along the Afon Clettwr, where I had a nice, peaceful walk along the riverbank in...
I haven’t done much geocaching lately, but need to get out and maintain some of my geocaches that need attention… Hopefully this weekend if time permits. Meanwhile, one of my geocoins has been continuing on its mission to visit as many UK counties as possible and notched up a new one, West Sussex, yesterday. A...
Thanks to the fact that I have a lovely and very understanding wife (does that earn me some more brownie points?) I was able to get out for a MTB ride on Sunday. Rather than head to the usual trails around here I headed north for a ride under the mighty trees of Coed y...
After a long search and several unsuccessful missions, air28uk has finally found our Assume Nothing #2 geocache. These Assume Nothing caches are supposed to be a little difficult and tricky and judging by his log, the persistence paid off and made the eventual find all the more satisfying. This is the log entry: Location: United...
After a failed attempt at hiding the latest in the Assume Nothing Wales series of geocaches, we returned to the top secret location at the weekend and got some better co-ordinate readings. The cache is now live on geocaching.com and the First to Find (FTF) is up for grabs. This one is quite a bit...
Morgan and I headed off this morning to a top secret location to hide a new geocache as part of the Assume Nothing Wales series. The weather wasn’t great, grey and overcast with snow around in places so we wrapped up warm, parked up and headed off to the chosen spot. Morgan was on his...
Readers of this blog will know that I’ve been doing quite a bit of mountain-biking recently and armed with my trusty Forerunner GPSr have of course been recording where I’ve been. Many of the routes have been along properly way-marked trails at trail centres, other have been in more remote areas so I thought I...
I’ve been wanting to ride at Llandegla for a while now so on our way back from Wrexham we stopped off at Llandegla and I finally had my chance. As we pulled into the car park it looked really busy, people and bikes everywhere but I guess that was to be expected on a bank...
I noticed a new geocache hidden by Tortoiseshell appear about 5 miles from here yesterday morning. I was due to virtually drive past it later in the day so I left home a little earlier than needed and went out on an FTF (First to Find) mission. It was a gorgeous day, the best so...
OK, OK, don’t get too excited you won’t be seeing us on the TV! After our recent trip to the Isle of Man I was contacted by someone at the BBC on the island to write a little article about our experiences geocaching on the Isle of Man. I did, and it is now live...
