Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I did try geocaching – unsuccessfully it has to be said – in 6 feet of snow in Slovenia once, but it was a little easier in a couple of inches here in Wales. Saturday was a glorious sunny morning with snow on the ground so after an FTF on a puzzle cache Morgan and...
Spurred on by our success with an FTF on the Gamma puzzle cache, I started work on deciphering another puzzle cache in the series. This time it was the Omega cache which had the following clues. This is hard, and of course not at the published coords, this puzzle stood uncracked between 1918 and 2010,...
Morgan and I went geocaching again after school on Thursday. I’d already got an FTF on a puzzle cache on the way to school and did a quick cache and dash near to Gogerddan woods. Then after collecting Morgan from shcool we drove to one of my favourite little woodlands just outside of Bow Street...
Just got back from driving around here and there, doing a few geocaches and such like and Ynyslas seems to be the place with the most snow around here. Odd that as being next to the sea it is usually the place with the least snow, but not this time. Delivery drivers have been saying...
I noticed yet another new geocache in the area on Wednesday. I took a look at it but it was a puzzle and as I was feeling ill I didn’t really have the brain power to solve it. I sent it to Anna as an e-mail and pretty soon she had an answer for me,...
It’s not even December yet but we seem to be in a pretty deep cold spell at the moment. I’ve just been checking the stats from the Borth Weather Station in my back garden and it is currently -5.8ºC here. I know it will probably be colder elsewhere as being so close to the sea...
Just a quick video of the snow here this morning, and it’s got quite a bit deeper since I took this.
Seeing as Morgan has been keen to do some more geocaching recently I’ve been taking my Garmin Forerunner GPSr and my iPod with me on the school run so that we can find one or two caches on the way home from school. This system works well for paperless caching and means we don’t have...
Morgan and I had a pleasant walk on Sunday morning and found a few geocaches too. It was a fairly cold, grey day but nice enough for an easy walk behind Bow Street. We started off doing a series of caches called ‘Borrick Blunder’ and listed as a geokid circular walk. Hidden by ‘nitroglysarine‘ they sounded...
I Blame Pete for posting on the forums saying: “See you up there later, looks like it might be a calmer one than of late too !!” Because as soon as he posted it yesterday morning it started pouring down and continued to do so almost all day. When we arrived at Angler’s Retreat for...
