Recommended parking is at N52° 46.933
W003° 05.330. You will find an
information board here at the car park and it is advisable to look
at the maps here as there are numerous paths throughout the
Llanymynech Heritage area as well as points of interest and lots of
nature to be enjoyed. There are other information boards throughout
the area.
If you do Aries first then head to N52°
47.056 W003° 04.977, from here take the
path to your right, go down the slope and cross over the canal and
follow your GPSr. This path can be very muddy and slippery when wet
so please take care. Again you may loose your GPSr signal with the
tree cover but just follow the path and get it back in clear areas.
The Leo cache is in a large tupperware-like container and at the
time of placement contained the logbook, pencil, pen and pencil
sharpener (please do not remove) a 2005 date book, small coffee
cup, wet ones, change purse, china doll and collectibles. On the
inside cover of the logbook are the Northern co-ordinates for the
Sagittarius cache. The GPSr signal might get lost due to the tree
coverage but there are numerous open areas to get it back.
A big thanks to the Shropshire County Countryside Commission for
allowing us to place this cache.
