St. Illtyd's Lakes Traditional Cache

Eclectic Penguin: With regret, I'm archiving this cache.

1. As beckybee22 points out the original intended route to the cache is no longer open to the public. When the cache was placed 15 years ago, while the route to the cache was private even then (Welsh Water), the public were allowed to visit via an open gate and sign. This is no longer the case - the kissing gate to the dam wall has now been locked shut with huge chains and padlocks and an uninviting sign stating that only those with fishing permits for a local fishing club are allowed there now. Stupid fish murderers who spoil Geocaching....

2. You can still get to the cache location from the "back" - from the cycle path via a broken gate, through a decidedly soggy farm field and a smashed down fence near to the cache - however this does involve going through private farm land and the entire experience is a distinctly uninviting welcome to a Geocache...

3. As Rhywgoch mentions, the cache is also now gone with only its lid remaining. Now collected and removed.

Rather than replace, I've decided that, since access is no longer generally possible as initially allowed and intended for this cache, it's regretably time to close this one down.
