As an owner of several geocaches, it is my duty to maintain them every now and then, so yesterday I went out in the rain to visit a few of my boxes dotted around the local countryside.<\/p>\n

The first was along the Afon Clettwr, where I had a nice, peaceful walk along the riverbank in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n

I’d forgotten to take my GPSr with me so had to remember where I’d hidden the box, but after a bit of searching soon found it. The box was a bit smashed, but the contents were in good condition. I did remember to take a spare box with me though so replaced the container, re-hid it and then headed back off to Borth.<\/p>\n

The next stop was a geocache overlooking the little bay of Aberwennol. This involves a little walk along the Ceredigion Coast Path from Borth up to the war memorial. This of course provides some nice views of Borth, despite the miserable weather.<\/p>\n

The geocache here was actualy in really good condition, despite the fact that someone had reported that it was wet.<\/p>\n

I then headed to Clarach and along the Ceredigion Cost Path for a little way. There has been quite a bit of erosion along here and the path has been diverted in a few places. Unfortunately I didn’t quite have time to get to the geocache along here as I had to turn back before too long so that I could do the school run so maintenance on this ‘Sarn Cynfelyn’ and ‘Seascape’ will have to wait for a another day.<\/p>\n

Once again though it just goes to show that it doesn’t matter what the weather is doing, it’s nice out there anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
