Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Saturday was another glorious day on the Isle of Man. Still cold but sunny and the wind had finally eased a little. I started the days activities with a bike ride around the TT course whilst Anna and Morgan went to visit James and Donna. It’s a shame I didn’t get to catch up with...
We’ve just hit day 10 of our consecutive days geocaching streak… So I thought I’d upload a new version of our stats seeing as we’ve been so prolific over the past few days. There are two versions of the stats both of which show our caching endeavours up to today. Click here for version 1...
Another glorious day on the Isle of Man – sunshine, blue skies, a cold wind, 4°C and snow-lined roads. I made an early start and headed out for a bike ride whilst Anna and Morgan had breakfast. My ride took me through Colby and into Port St Mary, along the coast road into Castletown and...
After a long day and night travelling to the Isle of Man we didn’t want to waste a day of our holiday catching up on sleep, so we had breakfast when we arrived at Anna’s Mums and then headed off for a day out. We had a geocache or two planned, the sun was shining...
Easter Saturday dawned clear and bright. It was still cold but at least the wind had eased. I felt a little better than I had yesterday so we decided that a family day out was in order. We wanted to hide a geocache in Cwm Rheidol so we prepared some boxes, log books and cache...
It was the last day of the school holidays for Morgan today and a chance to beat our ‘consecutive days geocaching’ record so Morgan was quite motivated to get out and find at least one cache. We left the house fairly early this morning and drove to Tan y Coed for a little walk in...
Hooray, he weekend again! Excellent, we were all off and able to have a family day out. It’s a shame that Anna has to work sometimes when Morgan is off school because Morgan and I get to go out and have fun whilst she is working – But someone has to pay the bills I suppose....
Our geocaching streak continues. Morgan and I quite often do some geocaching whilst he is on school holidays and this Christmas break has been no exception. First our target was to get to a total of 300 caches which we did a couple of days ago. Morgan now has the idea of breaking our best...
After writing a weblog post yesterday about our geocaching stats we were motivated to get out there and try to hit the 300 mark before the end of the year. The rain had stopped for the first time in months so we got kitted up and drove into Aberystwyth to try to find some caches....
We haven’t done loads of geocaching in 2012, but we have done some and we hit a few milestones too, including of course a distance record with a geocache find some 11,565 miles from home! There are lots of ways of viewing and displaying your geocaching stats and I’m still not sure which ones I...
