Geocache Description:

South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge 15 is number fifteen in a series of thirty caches that have been placed in the South Wales mountains. Please replace as found inside the two resealable bags and seal them well this will then keep the log in prime condition so that other cachers can enjoy signing the log. Thank you.

The South Wales Mountain Cache Challenge has thirty caches placed in various parts of the upland areas of the Principality. A mountain is defined as being at least 2000 feet high, but here in Wales, we like to call some of higher hills mountains as well, and so several of the caches have been placed in areas that I perceive to be beautiful, but do not fall within the definition of a mountain! Please also understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and is an entirely subjective view! Many of the caches have been placed in the mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park. SWMCC 15 is adjacent to the Sirhowy Valley Walk in an area that I tend to spend a lot of time. The views from the cache to the north, east and west overlook the South Wales valleys. The Brecon Beacons to the north can be seen on a clear day just popping up over the ridge in front of you. The valley below you is the Sirhowy Valley and there is plenty of evidence of our recent industrial heritage. Nature has, with the help of excellent landscaping, softened the harshness of the recent past, and now this path is a popular walking trail. Do not forget to look for a clue within the cache, as to find number thirty in the series, you will need 17 clues that are hidden in the first 29 caches in the series. Access to the cache site will be gained via the gaps to the left and right.
