Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Easter Saturday dawned clear and bright. It was still cold but at least the wind had eased. I felt a little better than I had yesterday so we decided that a family day out was in order. We wanted to hide a geocache in Cwm Rheidol so we prepared some boxes, log books and cache...
Although geocaching.com is our geocaching website of choice, there are some alternatives. Opencaching run by Garmin is one of them. Although run by Garmin it touts itself as being free and open and powered by users saying that they are a collection of hikers, bikers, techno geeks, treasure-seekers, scouts, families and just plain nature lovers who deserve to geocache the way we...
It was the last day of the school holidays for Morgan today and a chance to beat our ‘consecutive days geocaching’ record so Morgan was quite motivated to get out and find at least one cache. We left the house fairly early this morning and drove to Tan y Coed for a little walk in...
Hooray, he weekend again! Excellent, we were all off and able to have a family day out. It’s a shame that Anna has to work sometimes when Morgan is off school because Morgan and I get to go out and have fun whilst she is working – But someone has to pay the bills I suppose....
Our geocaching streak continues. Morgan and I quite often do some geocaching whilst he is on school holidays and this Christmas break has been no exception. First our target was to get to a total of 300 caches which we did a couple of days ago. Morgan now has the idea of breaking our best...
After writing a weblog post yesterday about our geocaching stats we were motivated to get out there and try to hit the 300 mark before the end of the year. The rain had stopped for the first time in months so we got kitted up and drove into Aberystwyth to try to find some caches....
We haven’t done loads of geocaching in 2012, but we have done some and we hit a few milestones too, including of course a distance record with a geocache find some 11,565 miles from home! There are lots of ways of viewing and displaying your geocaching stats and I’m still not sure which ones I...
With our holiday coming towards its end, we had a late(ish) start to the day with breakfast in the camper van at Opal Springs Campsite before driving to Matamata for a Countdown supermarket to buy some final supplies and presents for everyone. Whittakers chocolate, Cookie Time Cookies and Pineapple lumps all round – Mmm Mmm!...
Wednesday started as most days in the camper had with a big breakfast, we then packed up, didn’t really make use of any of the facilities at the campsite and headed off to my parents apartment for coffee and a day out with them. The day before we had left the camper on the road...
It’s Monday and we are still having the holiday of a lifetime in New Zealand. We awake to a damp drizzly day in Otorohanga, have a shower and breakfast in Camp Kiwi and then take the 30 second walk to the Kiwi House. The Kiwi House We are the first ones in and are treated...
