Summer is at last back with us, so we had another family day out in the welsh hills. We took a nice drive up towards and around Nant-y-Moch in glorious sunshine. The weather really doesn’t get much better here in Wales than it was on Sunday. we then dropped down into Ponterwyd and off towards Ystumtuem where we parked up and as organ was asleep in the car I headed off across country to find a geocache. <\/p>\n
The Bryn Bras geocache was pretty easy to find and I simply took a straight line following my GPSr right through bogs and blueberry bushes galore to the cache. The box itself was easy to find with the co-ordinates spot on. I left a geocoin and was intrigued by a small package in the ammo can that was sealed with a ote on the outside saying ‘FAO N. Gregory Sept 2007. I don’t know who N. Gregory is or why he\/she has to wait until 2007 to open the package, but it is all very intriguing!<\/p>\n
Back at the car and there was a camper van parked behind us and a German family just about to set off across the hills in search of h cache as well. We had a little chat and wished them well before heading off across to hills and wisty roads, past the wind turbines and on to Nant yr Arian. Here we had a drink, let Morgan play in the playground and then went off to pick some blueberries. There was still plenty of fruit on the bushes, although nowhere near as many as there were on the less frequented hills by Bryn Bras. Whilst at Nant yr Arian I also took a few leaflets about the mountain bike trails there as I’m planning to buy a mountain bike soon, so will hopefully making full use of the local routes.<\/p>\n
All in all another pleasant day in the Welsh countryside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
