Above are a pair of pictures taken yesterday in Three Cliff bay on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales.  They are the newest entries in the ‘Landscapes and Seascapes’ section in the galleries (to be found to your right!).  Was fantastic light this afternoon.

However, that’s actually (for a change), not the complete point of this post.  I’m justgoing to introduce something that has prompted another new catagory on this site.  It’s an activity/sport/pastime (depending on who you ask) called Geocaching.  I discovered it by accident during mytravels around the interweb, but it has begun to take up a hell of a lot of my time.

It’s fun…

It’s good for you (in that you walk bloody miles!)…

…and it’s addictive. VERY addictive.

It involves the use of a handheld GPS reciever (like the one I’ve recently aquired for walking purposes) to find ‘caches’.  These caches are usually little boxes, hidden in some location, full of all sorts of ‘treasure’ (usually useless but interesting junk).  The idea is that you find it, take something, and leave something, before moving on to the next.  The point of this is to usually take you through or to a place you wouldn’t usually go.  I’ve now completed nine, and I’ve got to say I’m hooked.  they’re in all sorts of places (one I did yesterday was in the middle of a 1Km-long disused railway tunnel in the Wye valley!!).   I’ll be going into more detail about all this in the next few weeks, but until then, visit www.geocaching.com for more details.  I swear – if you start, you wont be able to stop!

Until then – keep your eyes on my stats in the lower part of theside bar.  As I find more, it’ll tick up and up.
