Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had a great day in the hills yesterday. The sun was shining it was really hot and I was off in search of 3 geocaches. I parked near Nant-y-Moch and headed straight up to the summit of Plynlimon, I didn’t find the first cache of the day so headed off around the ridge and...
We had another action packed weekend here in West Wales. I had an early start on Saturday as Ivor (the local katabatic wind that blows down the Dyfi Valley at this time of year) was up to his tricks and Impi called around for a windsurf session at 6am. We headed off to the estuary...
After having a great days windsurfing on Saturday I thought it only fair that I resist the temptation to go windsurfing again on Sunday, (despite the fact that the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station showed a max gust speed of 49.7 knots), and have a family day out instead… Well, it was Mother’s Day. So,...
Just a quick congratulations for ttTom (Tom and Shirl) for getting the first to find on all 5 new geocaches that I hid at the weekend in the Watery Wales 2 series. Also, a congratulations to Gwyddno who followed them around closely and got the second to find on all 5 caches. It sounds as...
Its been a few weeks since I’ve done any geocaching, but Sunday was a good day in the Welsh hills followed by a quick windsurf session on the beach at Borth. Steve and I headed off in the morning to hide some new geocaches. We drove up the mountain road from Tal-y-Bont towards Nant-y-Moch (and...
I’m quite busy work-wise at the moment and for some reason couldn’t sleep last night so I got up and started work at 3am. I stopped at 7am and then worked again from 8am until midday, which by my reckoning makes a full 8 hour day… I therefore decided to treat myself to an afternoon...
I wasn’t really ‘THAT’ into collecting geocoins, although some of them really are little works of art. If I found one in a geocache I did take it and move it on and log it on the geocaching website, and I do like having the little icons I get for my troubles. Some people take...
We had the first outing of aber-cachers yesterday. Me Anna and Morgan (forcesofnature) and Dave and Sarah (IdleRocks) headed off from Ynyslas, filled up with diesel in Aberystwyth then headed south to Aberaeron where we met up with Tinkerbell, Lesley (Red Kite) and Dan and Vanya (The Dancing Samurai’s). The first cache of the day...
I found Red Kite’s mad dash to get First to Find (FTF) on a new geocache in Aberystwyth quite amusing last night. Aber-cachers was quite busy which is good and there were a few people online posting in the forums, when we discovered that a brand new cache called ‘Off Yer Trolley’ hidden by The...
Dave Sarah and I had a good day out and a nice long walk yesterday. Two caches: Tarren Memorial Llaeron Earth Is It? 14 miles, lots of hills and some amazing views. As usual the photos don’t do justice. Click here for a full report of our day geocaching in Wales. We also found a...
