Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Day 5 of my trip to Kitzbuhel and with my bike in transit back to Wales I’d have to rely on my feet for entertainment and transport today. I was up early, 3am to be exact so went for a nice early morning run at around 5am. Running Kitzbuhel There are loads of really well-marked...
Now that my race was over, it was time to enjoy my holiday in the Austrian Alps. This of course means starting the day with a big breakfast, and with the exceptional food on offer at Hotel Jagerwirt this wasn’t going to be a problem. A pot of coffee A bowl of Alpen with mixed...
It was the last day of Half Term and finally I had a day that I could spend with Morgan. So, after a few chores around the house and a little bit of work we headed up to Pendam for a mountain bike ride. Morgan wanted to head out to Nant y Moch, but I wanted...
Whilst on out walk from Talybont to Borth with Scouts on Friday night, Morgan and I came up with a new idea for a series of geocaches. We crossed quite a few bridges over the River Leri and decided we could hide a cache at every bridge over the river. After some research with the...
The Easter holidays continue and we were all of work and school on Wednesday. Morgan had a friend coming to stay for a sleepover and we had an afternoon out planned so I started the morning with some work followed by a quick run. Anna was still in bed when I got back but I...
Whilst away for the weekend at Steve and Biddy’s wedding, we managed to fit in a couple of quick geocaches.

We were already somewhere that we wouldn’t necessarily be and there just so happened...
We noticed that a new earthcache called Ynyslas Longshore Drift had been set up here during the week. Today was the first chance we had to get to it and luckily the day dawned bright and sunny. So, after breakfast we all put our shoes and coats on and headed off for a stroll along...
Well, that’s the first day of the Half Term off to a good start. My parents left after their weekend visit at around 10am, so Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his remote control monster truck. It was cold, windy and deserted on the beach, but the skies were blue, the sun...
We have a night hike planned for the Scouts soon so thought we had better recce the route that I had in mind sometime soon. Sunday afternoon looked like the best time to do it as we would have a couple of hours free. I did my usual early morning run and then swim followed...
I hope you’ve all had a good Christmas and New Year? The weather here hasn’t been great but as we are all off school and work there has been plenty of opportunity for quality family time together. Other than going away in the summer as we sometimes do it’s really the only time we get...
