Preseli GeoCaching

Just had this email from one of my clients…

Why is there no link to my web site on www.preseli.com/geoching?

I look forwarding to see:

Been catching up with on old git whose web site has been on the web since 1993

www.bblist.com

We have just completed a major overhaul of the web site which provides a service to professionals within the Film and Television business.

Trouble is it is nowhere near being completed!!! tee hee

Just updated the website of one of my clients who sells Peli Cases… these make lovely cache containers… they offer a discount of approx 25% off Pelican list price… check out their website

A new client and a new website… Chris Taber is a Polecam operator who works in broadcast TV. He is a owner operator of a HD Polecam system. He works also on live events, conferences and corporate jobs. His company is called Pedestal Television Ltd.

I have spent a couple of days with an old friend and client who is responsible for me hacking together websites updating his website… Martyn was my first webiste client way back in ‘96 when he used to produce the world renound Filmtech LSP4 location sound mixer.

The current project is his Soundkit Ltd company who have been trading online now for about 5 years supplying radio microphones, location mixers, gun mics and solid state recorders to professional location sound recordists in the film and tv industry as well as more budget equipment more suitable for club singers, churches etc

Myself and Preseli Junior attended our first South Wales Geocaching Event today. Let’s Meet by the Seaside!!!!  Was organised by another South Wales cacher Mollyjak.

It was a great experience and a chance to put faces to all those names I had read in the log books on various trig points and secret hidyholes accross South Wales.

A well organised and friendly event held at the Hi-Tide in Porthcawl. A lovley venue with fantastic food.

Mollyjak had placed 5 new caches in a circular route around Porthcawl in the pouring rain the day before and Graculus (our local Groundspeak moderator) had kindly kept an eye open for them and published them in time for the event!

Big thanks to everybody concerned in organising a fab event and thank you for my Geocoin gift!

(Not sure what happened to this post. It w\s blank when I looked now!)

This cache… Mmmm 4 crossing maybe ? was ver close to my home, so I just had to go and look for it… it suggested that a night rv would be good so that is exactly what I did!

Whilst working away I decided to try a couple of quick caches to aleviate the boredom of sitting in the car most of the day… Church Micro 11…Mickleham, The teddies Membury micro M4 services west bound, Motorway Mayhem M4 J36 - Molly Shops !!!!, Motorway Mayhem M4 Reading Servs E’bound (J11-J12) and SideTracked - CC16 Keynsham and Somerdale

Whilst at Bridgend services I had tried to tackle another… Rock Point, my first DNF (Did Not Find), as previous cachers had also logged DNF I guess it is missing in action. Rats!

As you can see they range from the M4 in South Wales right over to just off the M25 to Dorking in Surry… I should have done some more as over the course of a week I did over a thousand miles and went quite a bit further afield…

I needed a break from driving and the car so I hopped right back into the car and went up to the tops of Cwm Clydach.

The intention was simple… but I had not read the notes properly for Cwm Clydach Crossing and tackled the cache from above down and not from below (and upstream) as recommended!
