It was the first day of the summer holidays today and right on cue the weather was set to take a turn for the worse. It didn’t look as though it would be too bad in the morning though so Morgan and I headed out for a walk. We had a few things to do whilst we were out. There was a geocache in Borth that we hadn’t yet done, one of my geocaches on the coast path needed replacing and I had to try out the Everytrail app on the Samsung Galaxy S2<\/a> that I have on loan.<\/p>\n

The idea of Everytrail is that it logs your trip using the inbuilt GPS receiver and uploads it to a website. Pretty similar to logging any trip with a GPS device, but it also allows you to take photos along your route, geotagging them as you go and allows you to add notes to the route as well. In essence it’s a great way of creating a guide to any of your favourite walks, rides or drives and if you are so inclined allows you to annotate them, add photos and share them with others.<\/p>\n

First stop was a quick cache in Borth called ‘Borth Through the Years’. We found it quickly and both the gecoaching app on the Samsung Galaxy S2 and in my Garmin Foreunner 305<\/a> worked flawlessly. We then parked up on the cliff and headed up to the war memorial where we checked in on one of our own geocaches, ‘Wennol I see you Again’.<\/p>\n

We then continued along the coast path to a geocache location that we’d hidden previously called Seascape. It provides amazing views out across the wide expanse of Cardigan Bay, but somehow had gone missing so needed replacing. We replaced it and then headed back into Borth.<\/p>\n

The Everytrail app worked well, and I’ve now uploaded the trip to their website which you can see here. Once there you can also embed your trip into a webpage, so here it is.<\/p>\n
