Grotto Micro Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

tobeon: This was the first cache that I hid and looking back I realise it was a little silly hiding a micro in the woods when I could have hidden something larger. So rather than replace the micro with a new (more water resistant) one I have removed the cache, archived the page and hidden a small tub cache near by!

Thanks for all the wonderful logs, It's always a great feeling when someone finds a cache you hid and takes the time to write a log about it!

Geocache Description:

Micro Cash hidden near Pontyool Shell Grotto.

Micro cash hidden by the trees just a little bit south of the The Shell Grotto, it is not deep into the woods but hidden at one of the trees that are on the edge (so you have overgrown grassy bits then the treeline, the cache is hidden at one of the trees there), you are looking for a small SD card holder which has green tape wrapped around the edge of it.

as it just a micro you must remember to bring a pen/pencil

If you don't know the shell grotto it isn't far from pontypool leisure centre, but it is all uphill. There are some fantastic views from there and is a nice spot to stop if you are on your way to the Folly (and the cache hidden there) or as an end destination on its own.

The Grotto & Folly is open May to September - Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays - 14:00 - 17:00. Pontypool Museum is also open during those times (and has free entry on Sundays which is always good)
.

Note: To help a bit more I have posted a photo of the tree where the cache is hidden.
