You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
Just to reassure you that this geocache will not compromise the Ospreys in any way....the nesting site is located where the birds can remain completely secure and undisturbed.
For best viewing, which just happens to be the cache site, we recommend you park along side the river, or the church in the village of Pennal. ( best known for it's historical connection with Owain Glyndwr.
Owain is thought to have written the 'Pennal Letter' of 1406 to the King of France setting out plans for an independent Wales )
For a pleasant ramble in, your footpath starts opposite the village school.
It's also possible to approach in from Cwrt,with parking just before Ynys Farm.
