Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Following a nice day of activities hiding geocaches and then windsurfing on Sunday, Anna, Morgan and I all headed off to the Wildfowler in Tre-r-Ddol for dinner. Two meals for the price of one and it was really nice. Best of all my pint of blackcurrant and lemonade (I was driving!) on cost 35p!!
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...
Many people think I’m a little mad going windsurfing here in Wales in the depths of winter…. Well, think again…. This video shows that windsurfing in Wales in the winter is fairly tame!
I’ve been pretty busy with website design work lately and haven’t had much time to get out and play, but I couldn’t wait any longer and yesterday and today were windy so I just had to go out for a sail. I’m glad I did as the sun was shining too so I had a...
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...
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...
Today was the day of the 2007 Borth Masters surf contest, and the Gods were on our side. The sun came out, plenty of people turned up and best of all the surf was ‘going off’. Some of the biggest cleanest surf I’ve seen at the lifeboat station in Borth for a long time. I...
Just some photos of Morgan in the snow yesterday.
The snow arrived as promised. It was pretty wild here this morning with blizzard conditions, but Morgan and I went out to play in it anyway… I’ll post some photos of that later. I then did some work and headed off to the hills with Sarah (from next door) around lunch time. We went to...
