Friday 16 May 2008 Mr Rhodri Glyn Thomas came to Aberdaron to see how local businesses are working to promote tourism in the area.

We can report a very successful geocaching event at the
Crickhowell Walking Festival on Saturday and Sunday the 1st /
2nd of March and 8th / 9th of March. Caches were hidden a
various places around Crickhowell and the grid references and
clues as to their whereabouts were published on the internet.
Special tokens were distributed to each cache for the geocachers
to collect and, on each weekend, the first team to collect a set
of tokens and hand it in to the Tourist Information Centre
received a prize. There was also an area set aside where
geocachers met to talk about geocaching and exchange travel
bugs. 50 teams competed and the whole event was a great success.
Thanks goes to Sambedr for 2 brilliant weekends. Full details
