Preseli GeoCaching

Well the rain has set in now and there is little chance of going out caching…

Foolishly I made a dash for the Cache of the day in Swansea… I got soaking wet!

Quite the cunning cache… I won’t say any more!

We did four more caches in Pembrokeshire before returning to Pontardawe HQ.

The time had also come to hide our first cache… (more…)

Pembrokeshire!

We have decided to visit Pembrokeshire for a long weekend and were delighted to find a wealth of caches not to far from home.

We walked miles! (more…)

We did not feel quite so energetic today so we only undertook one cache… but what a cache… we headed over to Neath and visited the Gnoll Country Park! (more…)

This post is written in retrospect… we started the hobby on Wednesday after a friend told me about it on a trip to the Royal Welsh Show the previous day.

After some research I found that there was a cahce a small distance away from my home so as the school holidays had begun and tearing my son away from the Wii is always a challenge at the best of time a simple ‘Would you like to do a Treasure Hunt?’ was all it took to get us moving! (more…)

Just a quick hello to introduce this small blog.

Geocaching is for us a new hobby, but it has been around for a while.

It is the perfect hobby for those of us who are just a little bit geeky, but like the outdoors as well… it involves using a GPS navigator be it one of those hand held devices such as a Garmin, or with some free downloadable software, your GPS powered mobile phone (don’t confuse GPS - Global Positioning System with GPRS - which is the packet data service your mobile phone uses, they are not the same!)
