Now you know why!! Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Fly Fifers: We are moving back to Scotland this week and will be unable to maintain our caches in North Wales. A couple have been adopted but not this one so we have decided to archive it.
Thanks to all who have found or attempted our caches. The cache has been recovered and may be re-used up north.

Geocache Description:

Have you ever driven over the blue bridge or the
Queensferry by-pass and wondered what that unpleasent odour was? Now you can find out, if you want to!! Walk along a public footpath (it can be muddy) from suggested parking, but you might want to take a peg in case the wind is blowing your way. This is one of our small micros so please take tweezers and gloves.

Cache is sited on the bank of the river Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy), so you could go for a nice little walk (away from the smell ).


There is a public footpath all along the river on both sides, so you could park up by the blue bridge and it is possible to walk to the cache from there. Take care parking.

Also take care with dogs and children by the dirty/muddy river.


This is not an exciting cache so don't go out of your way to do it. In fact you might find it offensive , but it was only meant to be a joke. So if you are easily offended, give this cache a miss.

Flyfishing on this river. The Dee is the largest of the North Wales, rivers. It flows via Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) and on through Llandderfcl, Corwen and Llangollen before turning northwards across the Cheshire Plains to a long estuary downstream of Chester. This great Welsh river holds good stocks of brown trout, too; on most stretches they average around ten ounces, but bigger trout may give you the occasional surprise.

Some local history from Carlos + the Birdie Crew, Richard III crossed the river here and, if stories are to be believed, fell in the cesspool like water with a large PLOP .

Congratulations to the bilberrythree who were first to find this Geocache (in the dark and rain , true cachers) on the 30/11/07 and there first ever FTF .

Commiserations to Phil (from PhilPamAndRob fame) who was right on there heels.
