Moelwyn Mountains with Morgan

Morgan and I had a lovely day in the Moelwyn Mountains on Thursday. We had our sights on the final feeder cache for the Gwyddno Mountain Challenge geocache. We needed to find it in order to get the final questions that would give us the last few numbers of the coordinates for the final cache. So,...

Bye Bye Summer

Well, it feels as though summer is coming to an end. There’s only a few days left of the school holidays, we’ve just had a fairly damp August Bank Holiday weekend and there are only 120 days until Christmas! We didn’t let the change in the weather dampen our spirits though and managed some family...

Cadair Idris and Foel Ispri Geocaching

Morgan is still quite enthusiastic about his geocaching. He’s keen to go out in the morning to find a new geocache and is motivated by the thought of breaking records. Our consecutive days geocaching streak is now up to 17 and he wants to keep going. Of course, each day gets more difficult as we begin...

Geocaching – Events, Souvenirs and Beastly Puzzles

As I mentioned elsewhere, we’ve been doing a fair bit of geocaching lately. It started whilst we were away on holiday, we did a few at the beginning of August and in the process gained a couple of souvenirs towards the 7 Souvenirs of August challenge. We then aimed to get a few more souvenirs and before we...

Geocaching – The 7 Souvenirs of August

Geocachers seem to like stats, milestones and collecting things. I know “it’s not about the numbers” but geocachers do like to keep a record of these things. So in addition to tracking the number of chaches you have found, the types of caches you have found, your furthest cache, North, East South or West, your...

A Holiday on Bodmin – The Eden Project

Following our ‘sort of holiday’ whilst cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End, we had booked ourselves a proper family holiday for a couple of nights on Bodmin Moor. We were staying in a camping pod billed as a Hobbit Home, high up on the moor at Wheal Tor Hotel. The welcome there wasn’t the...

Leri River Crossings – A New Idea for a Geocache Series

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...

Elan Valley Geocaches and Dam Open Day

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...

Geocaching in Shropshire

Whilst away for the weekend at Steve and Biddy’s wedding, we managed to fit in a couple of quick geocaches. Usually geocaches take us to cool and interesting places that we wouldn’t otherwise go, but this time it was a little different. We were already somewhere that we wouldn’t necessarily be and there just so happened...
