Geocache Description:

Mynydd Drws-y-coed (695 m.a.s.l.) is the jewel of the classic Nantlle Ridge, with a straightforward but airy scramble leading to its summit from the north.



Mynydd Drws-y-coed is the hill like a cockscomb near the right hand end of the ridge.

The cache is a small clip and lock box that is just big enough to take geocoins. It is hidden to the right of the path if you are heading south, just below the top of the scramble up from Y Garn II.

The grassy summit of Mynydd Drws-y-coed is 150 metres south of the cache site.

(WBMC 12) refers to the fact that this is the 12th cache which I have placed on summits or interesting places in the mountains of England, Wales or Scotland during the regular visits that I and other members of West Bromwich Mountaineering Club make to the hills. WBMC is a friendly club with members (aged 6 months to 85 years) mainly drawn from a 25 mile radius of West Bromwich. It runs monthly coach trips (normally to the Lake District or Snowdonia), hostel and bothy weekends, European trips in summer and a winter week in Scotland. The club has it’s own hut in Nantgwynant with all mod cons and organises and navigation skills and family weekends there several times each year. It meets every Thursday at “The Horse & Jockey” in Stoney Lane, West Bromwich (B71 4EZ) from 9pm (-ish) onwards. See www.wbmc.org.uk for details of meets / events / contacts.
