View Article  ITV Wales Geocache!
Those of you Watching Wales Tonight at 6pm on ITV Wales last night may have noticed the article on geocaching, starring our very own Peter Hewlett of geocachingwales.com and Huw Price, a keen geocacher from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority. Huw and Peter showed Paul Brand of ITV Wales around a few caches in the Park and helped him create an ITV Wales cache. We'll post a link to the coordinates on geocaching.com as soon as they appear, but for now you can watch the article at http://www.itvlocal.com/wales/news/?player=WAL_News_15&void=289670 The piece on Geocaching is approximately 15 minutes and 30 seconds in.

View Article  Welcome to GeocachingWales.com
This is our first blog on Geocaching Wales. Over the next few months we hope to be bringing you news of exciting new geocaching events in Wales, as well as a log of our experiences as we get to grips with this exciting new hobby.
Geocaching Wales was officially launched by Peter at the NEC Outdoor Show on Sunday the 16th of March. There was a lot of interest from audience members, two of whom even exchanged travel bugs with Peter. Geocaching Wales serves as a portal to welsh caches stored on Geocaching.com, and will also feature news and events specific to the region. We would be welcome for your feedback on how to improve the site which you can leave in the comments section.
