Post a Pic for Idris Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Victor4291: After a great deal of thought I have decided to archive several of my caches in the Cader Idris area and free up space for others to utilise. It is time for a fresh batch of caches and some new series in this greatly loved area.
All the containers will be collected over a period of time, as soon as i can safely get out to the areas concerned.
If you come across one of my caches please leave it in situ as i will be collecting them soon.
Any trackables in archived caches will be collected first and moved on.
Thank you to all those who visited the caches over the past few years, your visits and logs have been greatly welcomed.

Geocache Description:

From near the top of Cadair Idris ....simply re-create the scene depicted in the oil painting below.... you don't need to send a photo to claim your cache find, but if you can it will be featured on this cache page.

The location of the geocache may or not be the spot where the painter set up his easel...it's up to you to decide.
Weather permitting... try to get as many elements featured in the painting as you can into your photo ( shepherd boy with flock optional )

'From the Top of Cader Idris' by an unknown early 19th century painter shows the cliffs of Penygadair with Llyn y Gadair below... the coastal Rhinog mountains beyond the beautiful Mawddach estuary...and off in the far distance the Llyn Peninsular striking out into Cardigan Bay.


For your own safety please stay a safe distance from the edges.

There are many walk up routes...the three most popular being The Minffordd path which is moderately strenuous, starting from the old Idris estate on the south side of Cadair .
See OS Explorer Map OL23...or route information boards located near the start of the walk.
Or take the Pony Path...an easier family route on the North side of Cadair.
Or for the experienced hill walker...the strenuous Fox’s Path also starting on the North side...all routes have caches to bag along the way.


Found in the cache will be a rubber stamp (NOT FOR SWAP)
If you would like an impression of the image to take away with you, please remember to bring along an ink pad and paper.

TOP TIP- to get the best out of your visit... try to pick a clear day...a packed lunch with plenty to drink...just take your time and have fun!
