Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We’ve just had another action packed weekend here in Wales. On Saturday Steve and I headed off to the Arenig hills for some geocaching while Anna looked after Morgan and took him to a birthday party in Aberystwyth. Steve and I met up in Bala and then headed North on a little road to the...
Summer is at last back with us, so we had another family day out in the welsh hills. We took a nice drive up towards and around Nant-y-Moch in glorious sunshine. The weather really doesn’t get much better here in Wales than it was on Sunday. we then dropped down into Ponterwyd and off towards...
As you may have already read, we had the first ever Ynyslas Fun Day here at the weekend. A low key affair, but you have to start somewhere. One of the events was a ‘Treasure Hunt’ arranged by Anna and myself, which we think went well Everyone set off with their instructions sheets, and had...
We had the first ever Ynyslas Fun Day yesterday here. It is an idea we had been talking about for a while as Anna and I along with other ynyslas residents always felt that the Borth Carnival was really aimed at the tourists and wasn’t for the residents of Ynyslas and that we would like...

Another windless day here on Sunday so the windsurf demo day wasn’t likely to be much fun so we headed off for a family day out and some geocaching in Wales. First stop was Llanrhystud for a walk along the beach to the interesting Craiglas Limekilns and the first cache of the day. Getting there...
We decided to give Anna a rest and a day off on her own at home yesterday. Morgan and I headed off complete with GPSr and picnic. First stop was Machynlleth where we stopped to find the Penyrallt geocache. It was in a nice location overlooking Machynlleth and the Dyfi valley. getting to it was...
It was another hot sunny day here today so I headed off for a walk along the cliff path. I headed up onto the coast path from Borth, past the war memorial and then down into the small beach at Aberwennol before heading off onto the main section of coast path between Borth and Wallog,...
