geocache
late holiday find
left hidden
~
We went hunting for a Geocache on our family holiday in Solva in Wales at the end of July. There are quite a lot registered in that area, but this one was very close to where we were staying. It was fun: first we discovered the general location from the Geocache website, and there was a code to crack to give us a clue about the exact location. But I don’t think we would have found it without the help of my daughter’s Smart phone.
Miss E, Master R and Little Miss M were all very excited to find the plastic pot. We lifted the cache and took it back to the B&B to show the rest of the family
This is what we found inside the cache
The idea is that you can take an item from the cache and replace it with a little gift. It was fun to read what others had written, but we were just a little bit disappointed to discover a marble and some sweets. Nobody wanted to eat the sweets, Little Miss M wanted to keep the marble. We threw a couple of sweets in the bin and the children had fun deciding what to leave in their place. This is what we put back in the cache: A sheet of stickers, a butterfly candle, a rubber, and a Love Rock
We put the cache back where we found it and covered it up with stones
This is my entry for our One-A-Week Photo Challenge this week, leave a link to what you have FOUND this week in the comments to be included n my monthly Round-Up of entries. And pop across to see what others have found on Nanacathy.
Also joining in with Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge, his prompt words this week are: LATE and HOLIDAY

A great combination and challenge covers. A lovely story Sandra, fun can be had as shared family activities that cost nothing but time and a few simple gifts.

I would have been cautious about the sweets, no telling how long, and all that! I think you left the cache a better thing than you found.

You left much better treasures than you found! What a fun activity with the kids, though.

Yes we did Kerry! and we had a great conversation about doing that and how nice it would be for the next people who found the cache. A lovely way of practicing ‘random acts of kindness’.
