Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sunday dawned wet and miserable, but I decided that I shouldn’t let such weather put me off going for a walk so headed off to the Cadair Idris an an attempt to get First to Find on some geocaches. First stop was at Llyn Cau and by the time I got there I was drenched,...
Another windless day here on Sunday so the windsurf demo day wasn’t likely to be much fun so we headed off for a family day out and some geocaching in Wales. First stop was Llanrhystud for a walk along the beach to the interesting Craiglas Limekilns and the first cache of the day. Getting there...
We decided to give Anna a rest and a day off on her own at home yesterday. Morgan and I headed off complete with GPSr and picnic. First stop was Machynlleth where we stopped to find the Penyrallt geocache. It was in a nice location overlooking Machynlleth and the Dyfi valley. getting to it was...
It was another hot sunny day here today so I headed off for a walk along the cliff path. I headed up onto the coast path from Borth, past the war memorial and then down into the small beach at Aberwennol before heading off onto the main section of coast path between Borth and Wallog,...
We’ve just got back from a hot sticky day at Strata Florida. We took a detour on the way there to stop off at a geocache in Pontrhydygroes. The cache itself was easy to find and was just a short walk from the road but involved crossing the Miners Bridge which is pretty high and...
Well, the weekend dawned dry and windless so I planned to go geocaching. I woke at 5am on Saturday morning so headed off early which allowed me to do the bulk of the uphill section before things warmed up. I drove to Dinas Mawwdwy and onto Cwm Cywarch where I parked up, put my boots...
Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.. I have been planning to hide some geocaches in some nearby hills where caches were a little thin on the ground for a few months now. I’d been waiting for the right weather to spend a day up there with Steve hiding the caches and it looked...
Whilst working in the garden the other day I spotted a geocacher finding my ‘On the Bog’ cache so had a little chat with him. he was an expat now living in America but was back here in Borth visiting family. It was good to see someone finding my cache, which as usual with this...
We had a nice day yesterday. First we took Morgan swimming, which is something we have neglected to do for ages. He loved it and got on really well. He was quite happy floating around with his armbands on and climbing onto the various floats that were scattered around the pool.He was reluctant to get...
Living out here in the sticks does mean that we don’t necessarily see various members of our family as often as we would otherwise. However, living by the sea does mean that as soon as the sun comes out and the weather warms up they suddenly all want to visit us!! My parents were here...
