Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Another lovely day in Dorset and today we had a trip to Lulworth Cove planned, so after breakfast we set off and soon arrived at Lulworth Cove where we parked in the car park which was quiet had a quick look around the visitor centre and then headed off across the beach which we had virtually...
Wednesday morning dawned bright and sunny once again we had no sleep as the room was so hot. I therefore went out for an early morning walk into the reeds of the Lodmor Country Park as the sun rose. I returned with croissants for breakfast for Anna and Morgan. We complained about the ridiculous heat...
After a weekend at my parents house for Easter we spent most of Easter Monday heading south towards Dorset. Cerne Abbas Giant We took quite a random route to get there and stopped off at Cerne Abbas to take a look at the giant there which Morgan found quite amusing. We had a nice picnic...
It may only be April, but it was time for our family holiday to Portland in Dorset. Why Portland in Dorset? Well, I was planning on competing in what looked like a nice sprint distance triathlon there on Sunday 12th, and it was the area that I studied for for PhD. looking at the palaeoecology...
Happy Pi Day everyone… We celebrated 3.14.15 (otherwise known as Pi Day) with a trip to Welshpool and the finding of a mystery geocache. It was actually one I’d worked out months ago, but seeing as we were going to Welshpool for a day out anyway and there was a Pi Day souvenir up for...

We were invited to spend a couple of days in St David’s. staying in a holiday home owned by some friends. We couldn’t go for long as we just so happened to be looking after their guinea pigs so couldn’t leave them for long but decided spend New Year there and make a start on...
What with all the geocaching we’ve been doing lately, we’ve been looking at our geocaching stats in a new way. As well as using the statistics on geocaching.com, we’ve subscribed to project-gc.com as well which provides us with a more detailed look at our stats and even gives us badges for completing certain milestones. It...
Whilst walking in the Moelwyns above Tanygrisiau the other week Morgan and I came across a whole load of mine entrances that led to caverns and passages that looked ripe for exploring. Not knowing much about them and not having the right equipment with us we resisted the temptation to enter them, but did look...
I think that having hit 32 consecutive days on Saturday we are coming to the end of our geocaching streak. We went out on a high though with a 5 star mountain challenge. That’s 5 stars out of 5 stars in case you were wondering. As mentioned in a recent post about our walks up Cadair Idris and...
