Today we went geocaching in Hustyn Woods. When we pulled up to the tiny carpark there were two other cars with people getting ready and holding GPS's so we all had a good old chat before setting off in opposite directions so we weren't getting in each others way. We bumped into them all again at the half way point and again at the end when we all wished someone had bought a barbeque... 
We had help from Kieran now caching under the name Eggbert25 and Sean aka Pirate Sean.
Hustyn Woods really is a beautiful place, very quiet and serene. You feel very alone with nature in these woods.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk in the woods- another place we had never been to before and probably would never have found without geocaching. We also met some lovely people who I hope we meet again soon. Particularly Mr and Mrs "Badger Scout"- who told us they were 79 and 80 years old (they actually looked at least 20 years younger)- they clearly don't let age get in their way as they arrived back in the carpark at the same time as us!!! I mean this most sincerely, and hope it doesn't sound in any way rude, but what an inspiration!!!- I want to have their energy and enthusiasm for getting out and about when I'm their age.
So until next time
Gillian
