Geo-cache!.....

Found a top new excuse for a walk!....


(Not that I need an "excuse" with my great new ticker!

Love to walk, JUST BECAUSE I CAN!!....)


www.geocaching.com !


Its a fantastic idea to make going out for a walk fun and exciting!

The premise is simple. You set up/join (Free!) and then have access

to the GEO-graphical CACHE -stashes! People hide/bury "Caches" along

foot paths, public areas etc and then post the co-ordinates as a kind

of "Treasure Hunt"! The rules are simple. You respect the users and the

web sites ethics etc, and play fairly! Everytime you find a "Cache" you

open it, take something (small toys/trinkets/novelties/pen etc) write a

note in the visitors book in the box/container, put your own thing in to

replace the taken item, reseal-rebury it, log on and update the cache

log so the original stasher knows who's been to thier "Treasure"!


My friend Lewis and I decided to try it, and found our first one! It was

so exciting looking for it, and we eventually found it hidden low down in

some tree branches, in a clump of trees in the middle of a field! We found

all sorts of things, and read the various visitors notes, and found an E-trackable

token, which we will "re-locate"!


We had a great walk in the fresh air some laughs trying to find the Cache!


The Squirrell will have to do one now!

As Matt was taking my photo, he told me to imagine I was passing a water melon.

About Matt.

My name's Matt. I was born with a congenital heart defect which hampered me in my youth, and sadly became a terminal conditon recently, and beyond the (amazing) care of the BRI-Bristol Heart team.

In 2008, my condition deteriorated, to a point I was happy to see Xmas 2008. I had prepared to die.

Then in January 2009, a late night phone call from QEH-Hospital Birmingham changed my world, when they offered me a heart transplant, if I could get there pronto!!

6 months on, after a rocky start, I am still alive, thanks to them!

Read on to see how my new life is taking shape, and my adventures to date!....
