Well, I had good intentions to go for a swim yesterday. The university pool is closed, there is no swimfits or circuits this week so I thought I’d better get wet and do some swimming at Plascrug Leisure centre. I checked online to make sure they were open and then drove all the way into Aberystwyth only to find out that the pool was closed as the boiler had broken down. Annoying to say the least but worse as this always seems to be the case. In fact we even had complimentary tickets because last time Anna tried to go to the pool there was a problem with the boiler.<\/p>\n

The trip wasn’t completely wasted though as we managed to stop off and find a puzzle geocache and get a First to Find (FTF) on it too. Anna had worked out the puzzle the night before so we went armed with the coordinates and were spot on.<\/p>\n

Here’s the code that Anna managed to break. From this she got some coordinates!<\/p>\n
