Geocache Description:

This cache is one of a series of drive-bys taking you to some great scenery on the edge of the Berwyn mountains

I know of two types of Ash trees, there is the common Ash which is great at self seeding, and we have probably all been plagued at sometime by having these uninvited guests taking up space in our garden. Then there is the beautiful Rowan, or Mountain Ash, which provides our birds with food for the Winter. These I have picked out for this series of caches.

The former are prolific on the lower ground and valleys and can grow to fifty or sixty feet. Whereas the more beautiful Mountain Ash is much smaller and generally found on much higher ground where the common Ash would not survive. An interesting feature of the mountain Ash is the multitude of "trunks" that it sends up from the ground making the tree fork in many directions, The series is based on these forking Ashes. Taking us on a journey of spectacular views from high vantage points.

The cache is a small plastic clip container with the usual contents.

Parking with care please into pull-ins as the road is quiet but quite narrow.

Each cache contains information for the final cache which is therefore a multi-cache, don't forget to collect this info to complete the series.

The journey ends in one of the most picturesque villages in North Wales.
