Geocache Description:

This is part of a series of 6 caches placed by The West Viewers and Horrid Henry along the Moel Famau Numeracy Trail indicated by the 123 markers.

By seeking this or any other cache placed by myself or maintained by me you accept responsibility for your own safety. Caching can be dangerous. Assess the risk for yourself before seeking this cache!

This trail is an often overlooked path as people head straight up to the top so it can be a really peaceful place to walk and ideal for finding caches away from the main muggle trails. The kids can have fun playing with the puzzles along the way. There is pushchair access to the main track on caches 1 - 4 however the caches themselves are slightly off track and so would not be fully accessible.

Recommended car parking at Coed Moel Famau (closes at 6pm in the winter); cost - £1 for the day. There are several other caches in the area including our 3 bear caches which could be completed at the same time. There are toilet facilities here as well as a food/drink van most weekends. Alternative free parking is available in the area.

The original puzzle involved counting mushrooms and looking for a particular even numbered post. There's an additional grid just beyond the gate as well that has been used for the official trail.

This is a large lock and lock box hidden in a camo bag.

Please note that access to the cache is a little uneven and care needs to be taken.

Thanks to David Liddy, Forestry Commission Area Manager, for kind permission to place this cache. On occasion there may be the need to temporarily suspend the caches when Forestry Commission work is being undertaken. Please check back to this page prior to visiting the cache to check it is still active and always avoid areas where any machinery / work is being undertaken.
