Tales from a down-shifted family

Happy New Year everyone, 2016 was upon us so we had to get out and do something, and we had to find a geocache so as to complete the “Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016” geocaching souvenir. Our target for the day was the Hafod Estate and several geocaches there. I would have liked to have gone...
Good bye 2015, Hello 2016 – We did it, we found a geocache on both 31st December 2015 and a different cache on January 1st 2016 which earned us two new souvenirs. The ‘Goodbye 2015’ geocaching souvenir and the ‘Hello 2016’ geocaching souvenir. As usual, it was fun finding them and they took us to...
I think 2015 may have been our best year yet as far as geocaching records go. We’ve just finished the year off with two fairly quick and easy geocaches in a very wet and muddy Penglanowen Woods near Nanteos Mansion. None of the geocaches themselves were that notable but it’s a lovely little woodland than...
Christmas Eve Swim With Christmas Eve here, it was time to try to tire Morgan out a little so that he’d be able to get to sleep tonight before Santa came. I couldn’t sleep for some reason again so was up early, and Morgan was up quite early too, but we had some plans. So, after...
It was International Earth Cache Day on Sunday, so as geocachers and geologists we couldn’t really not do a geological based Earth Cache to celebrate. Fortunately there was an Earth Cache that we hadn’t done at Devil’s Bridge so we saved it up and headed out there on Sunday afternoon for International Earth Cache Day 2015....
After my bank holiday morning swim from Aberystwyth to Clarach I headed home and gathered up Anna and Morgan so that we could head off to the hills around Lake Bala for some geocaching. The Hit List Morgan had spotted a little series of 12 caches based on the positions of a clock. They formed...
Inchcailloch After our little stroll into Balmaha yesterday, we had decided that we wanted to take a boat trip out to the island and Nature Reserve of Inchcailloch. It’s only a couple of hundred yards off shore from Balmaha and I was going to swim out to it, but decided against that as I would...
Our summer of long weekends continued last weekend with a trip to Scotland, camping on the shores of Loch Lomond. The primary objective of the trip was for Morgan to visit his friend Cameron who moved up here earlier in the year, but we obviously wanted to enjoy the scenery too. The Drive Up –...
Another glorious day here on Tuesday so after some work, some chores and checking through the Moth Trap, Morgan and I headed out geocaching. We stopped of at Annamarie’s house first to drop of a cake and a hard drive full of films so that should could watch them whilst eating cake during her recovery...
Hooray, we completed our 2015 Geocaching Road Trip yesterday and earned ourselves the bonus ‘Road Trip Hero’ souvenir. As usual, this little challenge took us to some nice places and some fun times. As a recap, the 2015 Geocaching Road Trip ran between June 19th and September 2nd during which time we had to find five...
