Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We noticed that a new earthcache called Ynyslas Longshore Drift had been set up here during the week. Today was the first chance we had to get to it and luckily the day dawned bright and sunny. So, after breakfast we all put our shoes and coats on and headed off for a stroll along...
Well, that’s the first day of the Half Term off to a good start. My parents left after their weekend visit at around 10am, so Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his remote control monster truck. It was cold, windy and deserted on the beach, but the skies were blue, the sun...
We have a night hike planned for the Scouts soon so thought we had better recce the route that I had in mind sometime soon. Sunday afternoon looked like the best time to do it as we would have a couple of hours free. I did my usual early morning run and then swim followed...
I hope you’ve all had a good Christmas and New Year? The weather here hasn’t been great but as we are all off school and work there has been plenty of opportunity for quality family time together. Other than going away in the summer as we sometimes do it’s really the only time we get...
We’ve just returned from a nice little walk with the Devil’s Bridge Walkers. We’ve been meaning to join them on one of their monthly walks for a while now, but things have conspired so that we’ve been unable to do so. We made it today though and what a day for it. Chilly, but clear...
The school holidays seem to be flying by and the list of things Morgan and I wanted to do during them has barely been touched. We’ve been busy with plenty of other things but thanks to all of this, we haven’t even started on the days of geocaching, mountain biking, surfing, kayaking, gardening, painting and...
Sunday was a nice busy day for us – just for a change! As usual it started fairly early for me at around 6am when I got up, checked e-mails etc. and had some breakfast before heading off to Machynlleth in Anna’s Fiat 500 hire car for a run. My planned session was a fairly easy one...
Well, the school holidays are over and we managed quite a bit of geocaching during them. We hit our goals of beating our monthly record and our consecutive days caching record too. We didn’t do any over the weekend so the last day of our consecutive days record was on Friday when Morgan and I popped into to...
It was our final day on the Isle of Man today so we only had the morning to play before catching the boat back. The weather was still cold at around 3°C and the wind had picked up to a nice force 6 easterly just in time for the ferry crossing! So as to continue...
Sunday was the final full day of our trip to the Isle of Man and we had several geocaching records that we could try to beat. Number of caches in a day – current record = 15 Number of consecutive days with finds – current record = 6 Most finds in a month – current...
