Geocache Description:

South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge 9 is number nine in a series of thirty caches that have been placed in the South Wales mountains. CAN YOU YOU PLEASE REPLACE THE CACHE AS FOUND AND HIDE WELL THANK YOU.

The South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge has thirty caches placed in various parts of the upland areas of the Principality. A mountain is defined as being at least 2000 feet high, but here in Wales, we like to call some of higher hills mountains as well, and so several of the caches have been placed in areas that I perceive to be beautiful, but do not fall within the definition of a mountain!
Please also understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and is an entirely subjective view!
Many of the caches have been placed in the mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

SWMCC 9 has been placed near to Garn Wen south of Bal Bach in the Black Mountains. This ancient cairn offers fabulous views to the south along the ridge towards Twyn y Gaer, but the views to the west and east aren't too shoddy either!

Do not forget to look for a clue within the cache, as to find number thirty in the series, you will need 17 clues that are hidden in the first 29 caches in the series.

Additional Hints (Encrypt)

Amongst the rocks in the rocky field. Near to the edge of the rock field.
