StormThoughts

This was a great trip if not the greatest match. The boys in blue did enough to ensure a home draw against Clermont Auvergne in the quarter final of the European Heineken Cup. We had 7,500 supporters over from Ireland. The atmosphere was good even if we were in such a big stadium, [47,000] altogether I am told, in a 76,000 seater.

D’Arcy was magnificent as was Isa Nacewa.

Alastair and Anne Marie enjoyed themselves and we met Brian Dornan, Eoin and his girlfriend [name gone sorry] as well as Greg.

We march on !!!

For some time I had been thinking about this activity. I finally got around to joining the Geocaching community in January. It is great fun. Already I have found four local caches. I hope to “hide” one myself within the next few weeks. I enjoyed the caches where I had to hike in to the location, a bit of effort was needed!!! Reading the log entries and coming home to register my finds was exciting. Some of us are easily pleased.

One thing I have learned is that my Garmin Etrex HC Summit is a really good GPS. On each occasion it brought me to within a metre of the Cache.

Is it a sport or ? I go for the sport definition.
